REMODELED STABLE.
How an Eastern Duirymnn Rear.
ranged an Originally Inconven-
ient Farm Structure.
The drawings herewith will explain
the way in which I remodeled my cow
stable a. year ago. My barn was of the
prevailing plan in this part of the state,
a. bank barn of two stories, with feed-.
ing-room next bank, horse stable next
this and cow stable at lower side, with
manger against weatherboaiding, and
feedr-oom for feeding hay, etc, cribbed
ofi from the mows on second story. In
feeding grain the feeder had to pass in
between “the cows and place feed in
troughs, carrying feed. from feeding-
room through horse stable to cow sta-

ble. Perhaps it. seems foolish thatany—
one should have a stable so incon-
veniently arranged, but it is a fact that
nine-tenths of the cowstables in this
part. of the state are constructed in this
way. _
I divided the entire space into sec-
tions of three feet four inches each and
made partitions between the stalls, let.-
ting the partition extend back from the
manger two feet. six inches, and making
that. portion of it two feet six inches
high.. I let. the partition extend
through the manger, making it so high
that one cow cannot reach..over and
rob the other of grain or hay. I made.
a drop by setting a, row of locust posts
five feet back from the manger and
spiking a plank to them and filling the
space between them and the manger
with clay and spiking a plank on top of
this for the hind feet of the cows to
rest upon. '
The manger is my own device. I
took oak boards to the planing mill and

had them sawed iii four-inch and eight—
inch pieces and surfaced on one side.
Of theée I made spouts of the proper
length to reach from the feed trough
a sufficient distance above the floor‘of
the second story for convenience in
feeding. These are constructed with
a lip to prevent wasting feed inzpour-
ing in. The spouts and troughs were
arranged in pairs and a hood was made
to extend out beyond the line of the
trough and down from the upper floor
to the line of the lower edge of the
boards of the upper portion of the
manger, which should extend down as
near to the height of the cow as possi—
ble. This hood prevents the coarse feed
from getting into the trough.
I keep the. feed on the second floor
of the barn, and I can feed the grain
at. the time that I give the coarse feed.
I save a great deal of time in this way.
I am not annoyed wit-h the cows eating
out of my bucket or spilling the feed
as I pour it into the troughs. Alto-
gether I have found it- satisfactory, and
I give it. in the hope that it may be use-
ful to others. One of my neighbors who
remodeled his barn this summer has
fitted up his stable in the same manner.

\Vhat High Grade Means.
Farmers are now beginning to see
the difference between the precious and
the vile. They are paying $20 and! $25
and sometimes even higher prices for
a. high grade. calf, discriminating in. fa.-
vor of those. to the extent of about
ten dollars perhead. In short, on the
present market. in country places the
difference made by intelligent. feed-
ers between a high grade calf and a
common calf is from five to ten dollars.
This, then, is the measure of the value
of a good bull. If a man has ten-cows,
he can afltord to give $100 for a good:
bull. knowing that he will pay him
from $50 to $100 each year and. be
worth when sold fat from $70 to $80.—

\Vlntcr Dairy Advantages.
Winter dairying avoids injury to fla-
mr of butter from- weeds in summer
and fall pastures. The cows will be
dry when heat. fliesand drought. are
severest, and when butter prices are
lowest. lt‘will furnish prefiytable em-‘V
ployment for the farmer and his men.

Become Acc'nstomcd to Control
and Being Controlled.
We hear v'ery much of the uncertain
temper of Jersey bulls. No doubtthis
-—or wan of training, says an ex-
change. The ball has never been sub-
jected to control. He does not acquire
the confidence ofhls keeper and feeder,
and from the first the natural dispo-
sition is never checked or turned in the
way it Should go. By feeding by hand
from the first and afterwards tether-
ing in pasture when the first. milk feed-
ing has continued for two or three
months—and indeed if the season ad-
mits of it when it. is a month old—the
calf becomes used to control and sub-
mits without opposition to every wish
of the keeper.. After grown to near
full age the training should be con-
tinued by giving him work to do, by
which subjection is fully confirmed.
Idleness is the parent of vice; and to
keep the young animal in this subject-
ive state by work of some kind, if only
as an eiiercise, will confirm its disposi-
tion and preventthe resistance to con-
trol, which is the basis of a savage and.
unruly habit afterwards. Indeed, train-
ing—by which I mean the teaching and
forming ofthe disposition by practice
and kindness. with firmness always and
at. times with discipline—should be the
rule with every animal on the farm.
Even fowls will be more useful and
more easily managed by this training
when they are young, learning to be
handled and to lose all fear of their
keepers._
FIRST-CLASS COWS.
Some Good Reasons W'hy Dairy
Farmers Should Bleep No Others
in Any Circumstances.
The chief difficulty in making dairy
farming successful is the great-number
of cows that do not pay their keep and
whose products are always sold at a'
loss. If one-tenth of all the cows
owned were fatted at once and sold for
beef .it would remove from the market
the surplus butter and cheese which
are now keeping prices too low for
profit. Prices might be temporarily a
little higher until the stock of the best-
cowscan be made large enough to sup-
ply the demand. Then, with prices no,
higher than they have been, and per-
haps not so high, all dairymen would
make money. Getting rid of the poor-
est- cows will also do away with most
of the inferior butter. When a farmer
knows that his cows are not paying he
grows careless and often uncleanly in
the dairy. When his butter is f0und to
be inferior he is apt to blame it all to
his luck, and thus, instead of trying to
improve, making matt-ers worse. The
best way to arouse s-uch farmers to bet-
ter methods is to increase the milk aflid
butter capacity of their cows. When
they secure cows that they can feel
some pride in they will be likely to
take‘ pride in every part of their busi-
ness.——-American Cultivator.
IMPROVING A SPRING.
\Vhat Can Be Done by an Ingenious
' Man with a. Section of
Boiler Tubing,
It is difficult. to keep a spring clean
and pure, especially if visited by stock,
unless one attempts to “improve” a lit:-
tle upon nature, difficult as that. might
seem. If one can get-a section of iron
boiler tubing some two and a half feet.

face,with clay “puddled” about the out—
side, he will have as fine a water supply
as one could desire. It is also possi-
ble to get sections of stone piping with
a diameter of about two feet, which
can beset into the spring in the same
way. In either case it will be found a
go'od idea to bank up all about the iron
or stone tubing with. rocks. They will
hold the tubin g firmly in place and will
prevent its injury if stock is watered
at the spring—N. Y. Tribune.
TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.
A cow that can fill the milk. pail is all
right provided the milk pail is big»
enough.
It: takes all kinds of people to make a.
world, but it does not take all kinds of
men select the best.
The man. who believes in sheltering
pigs, calves and pOultry in the same
stable with his cows is only one step in
advance of the peasant, who keeps his
live stock in a section of his dwelling

Sweden was ruined by a single battle.
It was the battle of Pulto-wa, in. 1709.
In this battle Peter‘the Great of Bus:
sia defeated Charles XII. of Sweden.
Sweden, under the Great Gustavus, had
risen to the position of a firstvclass Eu-
ropean power, .while Russia was just
emerging out of obscurity. Charles
XII., by his marvelous victories, seemed
on the way to make Sweden one of the
greatest of the powers. The crushing
blow that was dealt at» Pultowa. ruined
Sweden. At the battle of Jena, in 1806,
Napoleon crushed the kingdompf Prue
