BARBER COLLEGE
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
The department of agriculture as
! the result of a great demand for In-
. formation relating to the construction
| of dairy buildings started a line of in
j vestigation through Its dairy epocfal-
! lets for the purpose of developing the
bnBlc principles of such construction.
In order to make the work thoroughly
practical, theae studies were extended
to the planning and actual supervision
of construction of a number of dairy
buildings In different sections of the
country. Few localities will require
or even permit of the same treatment
80 far as exposure, size, form, or
building material are considered, but
the problem of light, floors, ceilings,
etc., are nearly alike in all cases.
Stable for 24 Cowa.
The plan shown Is designed for 24
cows, and allows ample room for calf
pen and box stalls for bull and cows,
also space for feed room, bay chute,
wash room and silo. The amount of
space allowed for the various pur-
poses will meet the usual require-
ments. The arrangement of the
space can be adapted to the needs of
the particular location.
Special Features Common to All Well-
Planned Barn*.
The width of this barn Is 31 feet 4
Inches outside. This allows ample
room for the stalls and passageways.
While the length here shown is 73
feet 6 - inches, this depends on the
number of cows to be handled. The
side wills are built of brick or con-
crete up to the window sills, the bal-
ance of the walls being frame. The
end walla are constructed of brick or
concrete up to the celling. A parti-
tion extends across the barn so that
the cow stable can be entirely shut
off from the rest of the barn.
Windows.
One of the faulty points In ordinary
barn construction Is the small amount
of window space usually allowed. This
plan provides approximately 6 square
feet for each cow. It will be noted
from the elevation that the windows
are sliding sash extending to the ceil-
ing. making them nearly twice as
high as they are wide. This arrange-
ment will admit much more light than
the same space if the windows were
placed otherwise.
Manger.
The manger is planned to be 2 feet
wide and 6 inches deep, with slightly
rounded corners, the front sloping at
an angle of 45 degrees and the bot-
tom being 2 inches higher than the
floor of the stalls.
Stalls.
The width of stalls is 3 feet 6
inches, which is as narrow as should
be allowed. The depth Is Indicated
as 4 feet 6 Inches, but this may be
varied according to the size of the
cows In the herd. The manure gut-
ter is 14 inches wide and 6 inches
deep.
Floor.
The entire floor is concrete, 6
Inches in depth when finished, laid
over at least 6 inches of cinders or
broken rock. Concrete is considered
the best material for several reasons:
(1) it is sanitary; (2) it is economi-
cal because of Its durability; (3) when
a reasonable amount of bedding is
used it is comfortable to the animals
and no bad effects result. The fleer
is intended to be raised about one
foot above the level of the gorund to
Insure drainage.
Alleys.
The alleys Dehind the cows are 4
feet wide. Manure should be taken
away from the barn daily and depos-
ited in a manure shed or on the field,
and the alleys are designed with this
in view'. It ts undesirable, from the
standpoint of construction and sani-
tation, to have a mai. :.e pit under the
stable.
Calf Pen.
A comfortable calf pen should be
provided, effectively separated from
the milking herd. The one shown is
21 by 11 feet. Individual stanchions
are provided for feeding calves grain
and milk.
Bull Pen and Box Stalls.
These are approximately 10 by 10
feet. There is a full window in each
stall, providing an abundance of
light.

Doesn't Lika Crows
To the Editor: That man who want-
ed to protect the crow In Oklahoma
is surely not acquainted with the
habits of crows. ] think a crow is a
disgrace to the fowls of the air. He
begins on corn as soon as It la plant
ed and never stops until It gets so
large that he can t pull it up. He
will entirely destroy a patch of pea-
nuts, muskmelons or watarmeloaa.
You will alao notice that where theta
ara droves of crowa, you will always
find hog cholera —8. W. Rrtttoin, Mc-
Clain County.

A glimpse of a handsome mourning
toilette is given here, in which the
bat and the ruff finish off a modish
suit of black broadcloth in the best
manner. The hat is unusual and very
chic. The suit is cut In the new mode,
with three-tiered skirt and jacket

and curved at the bottom.
The bodice has the V shaped neck,

very little luster and very rich effect.

In colder climates it is deemed bet-

this construction admits of changes
in this respect.

I Besides these ruffs there are long
' scarfs of maline in white or block, to
be worn Instead of the ruff The white
scarf is appropriate for mourning and
i lo be worn with either an all-white or
all-black hat. But the white scarf of
maline, and others In colors, are the
prettiest of accessories for evening
wear. Nothing quite equals white for
this purpose.
The scarf Is made about one and
n half yarde long, with the ends gath-
ered up and finished with 'a tassel of
Bilk. Maline ruffs are finished with
bows or rosettes of ribbon with eight-
een-inch ends for tying. Moire Is used
with those Intended for mourning.

Very Rank Growth on One Acre May
Supply Feed for Twenty-Five Head
—Seed in Spring.
(By DEAN MUMFORD of the Missouri
Experiment Station.)
A good growth of rape will supply
pasture for 10 to 20 hogs to the acre.
A very rank growth may supply feed
for 25 head. Where the feeding is
to extend from 10 to 14 weeks it is
advisable to pasture rape at the rate
of 10 to 12 head to the acre.
The favorable time for seeding rape
is in the spring as soon as danger of
hard freezing is pact. It will furnish
pasture from the middle of May until
the third week in August. Rape will
withstand light frosts, but not hard
freezing. The best results are ob-
tained when oats and clover are sown
with 1L Sow from five to seven pounds
of rape ahead of the drill and then
drill in one-half bushel of oats and
six to ten pounds of clover seed to
the acre. The rape and oats will serve
as a cover crop for the clover and
usually a good stand of clover will be
obtained that may be pastured with
bogs tbe following year.
If rape is not grazed too closely in
June and July, so that the stalk of the
plant la eaten off. It may grow up
and make fall pasture. It should never
be pastured so closely as to destroy
all leaves on the stalk, and stock
should not be turned on until the
plants are from 14 to 18 Inches high.
Complaint is sometimes made by
feeders that scabs and cores form on
the ears and backs of the hogs on
rape The remedy is to move the :
hogs to another pasture for a short 1
time and then dip them or apply sul-
phur and iard to tbe sores.
PLACE FOR HEN TO SCRATCH
Oat Straw Found to Be as Cheap ae
Anything Else in Long Run—Buck-
wheat Is Too Fattening.
There are a number of different ma-
terials which furnish an excellent |
place for the hens to scratch In. says j
a writer in tbe Poultry Journal.
Leaves are probably the stuff most
Used by the small poultrymen. These
are good if gathered when perfectly
dry. They must be put into the pens
every few days, because the poultry
will break them into dust by their
continual scratching. I find oat straw
about as cheap in the long run, be-
cause It lasts quite a while and fur-
nishes some feed if fed before thresh-
ing.
Some of my neighbors have tried
feeding buckwheat as a scratching
material and a feed combined. Buck-
wheat is too fattening and should be
used only occasionally. Com husks
make an excellent scratching material, i
Shredded or cut corn fodder does
very well If there Is nothing else on
hand. I do not like any form of
meadow grass or swale for scratching
material because it mats down too
much when cut and not enough when
not cut.

Rearing Calve*.
The man who plans to rear his heif-
er calves should bear this point In
mind: Vitality is one of the most im-
portant things to be developed, and it i
ia obtained only through liberal feed-
ing and proper care. And this is
only partly true, for. unless the calf
is well-born to start with, the best
care and feeding will not produce a
profitable cow
Cream Check la Dependable.

! and drought the com. but It takes
more than these calamities to stop the

Rye Meal for Cow*.
The Pennsylvania experiment sta
tion has found that rye meal as a
part of properly balanced ration for
dairy cows is sufficient In milk and
butter production to an equal weight
of corn meal.

1 sashes or girdles are made of the
widest ribbons It Is their office to
extend above and below the waist
line in encircling the figure, and many
of them, the newest ones, are so made
that they seem to become a part of
the bodice and a part of the skirt.
That is, a bodice trimming and an
overskirt are attached to the girdle,
all made of the same ribbon
A group of tbe newest girdles •»
| shown here. The first is made of a
! heavy white grosgrain ribbon with
; flowered ceuter panel finished with a
border of narrow satin stripes at each
! side. The middle panel shows a
splendid pattern of raised velvet roses
and foliage all in nutural colors and
a blurred design, with shadows in
pale gray. These really magnificent
j ribbons are portraits of flowers done
In fabrics with such effects as artists
in oil might envy. They are expen-
sive and luxurious looking The gir-
dle is fastened with hooks and eyes
at the enda. which are boned to the
required width. Two ears of ribbon
are doubled and sewed together, with
a simple knot at the center.
The second girdle ia made of Dow-
ered Dresden ribbon having a white
ground and email blurred roses and
foliage, either printed or woven tn.
A wide ribbon Is used laid in four
plait* for the girdle. The ruffles are
made of a length once and a half that
of the girdle, or more, depending upon
the amount of fullness required. Two
inches and a half are cut off from on*
3ide of this length to form the narrow j
upstanding ruflle; the wider ruffle is !
made of the remainder of the ribbon.
The ribbon Is sloped off toward the |
ends along the raw edge, which is i
gathered In two rows to form this ruf- i
fie. The girdle is finished with a i
plain bow of satin ribbon.
A girdle of vivid green velvet ribbon I I
is simply a length to extend about the
waist line finished with a flat shallow
loop end a plain hanging end One
might not look at It twice, but for the
satin rose of the most vivid red Im-
aginable. It could not be brighter or
more beautifully made, its stem is
tied in a small bow, made of narrow
green ribbon matching the wide rib-
bon. The combination is so unusual
and vivid and smart that It cannot
be forgotten.
The pretty girdle of plain satin rib !
bon has a new and attractive finish at \
the ends. It hooks under a buckle j
covered by a narrow Batin ribbon I
wound about It The end is extended j
and formed Into a bow with hanging
loop. This extension to the girdle is I
to be fastened up on to the bodice and j
ts more or less long, as it ia to be!
pinned more or less high above the I
girdle. This is one of several new
girdles in which extensions of ribbon !
are Introduced lo be pinned to the ;
blouse or bodice.
Girdles are loosely adjusted. Long
sashes wrapped about the figure and |
without hanging ends are not new, but j
are liked by the smartest dressers
