T HE dniry barn may fie either part of the general farm barn or a separate building. In the former case tue part of the barn where the cows are kept should be partitioned off from the rest to keep out dirt and odors. There should be plsnty of light. An occasional coat of whitewash will make the barn lighter and cleaner. Where there are two par allel rows of cows they should face outward. In this way the manure will be kept at the center of the barn in stead of being splashed along the FIO. XVI.-MAKING CEMENT MANOEUH. Bides. The cows can be run in and out handier and be milked more conven iently. The manure can be easily cleaned out with a wheelbarrow or an overhead litter carrier. The floors should preferably be made of cement, with fairly deep, wide gutters of th same material. Plenty of bedding should be used to soak up the liquid manure. if 0 1 0-STt'i'irri- ";-" - an mini f I Ventilation. I Provision for some sort of ventila I j tion should be made. The plan of hav I lng the windows placed high and so arranged that they swing iaat the top provides good ventilation, especially if thorn are windows on both sides. Trl- angular pieces of board tit the sides of the windows prevent drarts ana cause the air to be forced upward toward the ceiling, where it is distributed all over the roam. The King system of ventila tion works well where the barn is tight. Flues for impure air open at the floors'and extend up to cupolas in the roof. The pure ulr flues open near the ground outside and at the top of the room inside. This secures a con stant circulation of air without drafts. In a frame barn these flues can be made by boxing in the space between two studdiugs. Iron swing stanchions cost very little more than the old fashioned woodeii ones and are a great deal more con venient and durable, xne mangt-rs may be made of cement, iu which case they may be used for watering me cows in extremely cold weather. If the farm is provided with some sort of water system a pipe tan be laid to one end of the manger, so that water will be constantly on tap either for flushing out the manger or watering the cows. With a short piece of bose tbe floors and gutters can be flooded occasionally and thus kept clean and free from bad odors. Both the floor and gutters should have sufficient slope . to carry the water on. Where the ow are watered from a "tank, as tbev will be most of the time. some means of heating the water ' should be provided.

Feeding, For three days before and three davs after calving there is no better ration for the dairy cow than a mash of two pounds of bran and one pound of oil meal, fed twice a day. Do not be in U1 u uurry to get the cows on mil ieeu after calving. The ration huouiu De increased gradually and slowly from five to six pounds dally to all the cows can profitably use. An Increase of half a pound every alter nate day is sufficient. This increase siiouiu ue kept up as long as the milk I flow continues to get larger. When I the point is readied where increases in : feed do not produce corresponding in ' creases in milk flow the feed should be gradually decreased again. The first few pounds decrease will not af fect the milk flow. When the point is reached where a further decrease hi feed causes a lessened milk flow the most prolitable ration for that partic ular cow has been determined. It takes a little extra work to do this weighing, but after the best sized ra tion for each cow has been determined the approximately correct amount can be measured out each time with little trouble. It pays to feed the cow all she can use profitably. It costs just so much to keep her anyway, and all the feed that she can use to ad vantage over that amount adds to the profits. During the summer the feeding prob lem is a simple one. With plenty of good pasture, supplemented in dry times by some forage crop and some sort of protection from files, the milk flow will be kept up to a profitable standard. In the absence of forage crops silage can be profitably substi tuted. It is iu winter that the highest prices for dairy products are secured, and if the cows freshen in the fall the main part of the ear's product will come at this season. The problem of winter feeding is one of the most Important" with which the dairyman lias to deal. If you have plenty of good clover or alfalfa bay and silage tbe problem is more tnau halt solved. ! rom thirty to forty-five pounds of silage and ten to twenty pounds of clover hay a day will make up the bulk of the roughage needed. A rack in the yard filled with corn fodder or oat straw will add vari ety to the ratiou. Where silage can not be obtained a plentiful supply of pumpkins, squashes, turnips or man gels should be at hand to supply the succulent part of the ration. Without some such feed the cows will not do ! their best. Mixing the Rations. Although dairy cows can handle large amounts of rough feed, they need considerable grain In addition during the winter. Corn, because of its cheapness and high feeding value, will generally form the basis of the . grain rations. Because of its high percentage of carbohydrates and fat some feed rich in protein should be fed with the corn. Oats are good, but they have only enough protein to a- ,V" 4 wT!; . iff- FIO. XVII.

A little oilmeal. m-t over two pounds a day, has laxath. tendency and tends to keep tbe cow healthy. Cottonseed meal Is used con siderably in the south. It not oul, balances tbe corn, but also gives hard ness to the butter, so that It will ii" melt so easily.

Much Good Can Be Done by Grading Up In Summer and Fall For Work Later On How to Make a Drag From Split Hickory Log. On every farm where there is. a mile or more of road, unless it has been made permanent by grading properly and macadamized or graveled, there ought to be a road drag. With such a tool at hand any farmer can with lit tle time and trouble keep bis farm roads iu perfect condition. Having a large farm and over two miles of roadway. I have found a homemade drag to lie a most useful Implement. Of course we can get along with poor roads on the form, but If we are the sort of farmers who take pride In having things iu the best shape we will certainly take pleasure in keeping our farm roads In good con dition. And I may add Hint It lakes so little time and trouble to run over HOW DBAOOIKO IUPHOVG8 A K0AD From Good Koads Magazine. New York J a mile or two of road when the team is already hitched to the drag that I usually go through the outside gate and work up and down the public road In front of the farm when I drag tbe farm roads. The longer I keep my drug and use it on my mads the more I appreciate it. Mine Is of the red split log type I made It of a ten foot section of a twelve inch hickory log. split in the middle, and on the front cutting edge nailed some heavy sheet Iron, it works about as well as the metal ones, some of which I see occasionally. 1 don't think It took me two hours to make my drag, though I did not make It strictly according to tbe reg ulation method as I have seen drags Illustrated In farm papers. All of Ibose seemed to have the two sections of log put together by having three large augur holes bored through them and round wooden bars about two Inches In diameter put through to bold tbem parallel and rigid. I did not have the large augur to bore holes big enough for stout wood en bars, so 1 merely sawed down into the upper edges of each half of tbe log at three places and split out tbe blocks, leaving a place Into which I could put a piece of four loch scant ling. 1 cut three pieces of scantling thirty-six Inches long and fitted tbem Into the cutout places and made tbem fast by driving spikes six Inches long Into tbem. The Job seems to be as solid as those made by boring boles and putting tbe bars through. Borne people make their drags of plank, and they do very well, but cost more and will not aland hard usage so well a the regular split log drag. There Is not, of course, so great need of the drag In summer and fall aa In winter ami spring, but It Is a much easier aud plenimtiter job to make It then, and. besides, if one drag bis roads a few limes in summer and gets them well graded up Ibey will re main in rn1 amine far better than if left just as the summer baullng bas made them. Moreover, on many farms there are wet places In the roads that cannot well be worked to advantage In winter .ml .nrlnir. If Ibeae ant graded op and drained lo tbe fail tbey will no doubt stay good all tbe time. There Is another o I have seen tbe drag put to that on some farms will coma In very haody.

It is a rare privilege to be allow ed to peep at the mysteries of an empress' toilet, to ransack her wardrobes, with their treasures of costly gowns, to open her jewel cas ket and to gloat over gems that would purchase many a king's ran som. But when this empress is the most luxurious and picturesque wo man of an extravagant age the temptation is too strong to resist, says the London Standard. Such an empress was Josephine, in turn the spoiled darling and out cast wife of Napoleon I., whose star filled the social heaven of Europe for five years. Josephine was more than forty years old and had al ready exhausted all the arts of lux ury when she was crowned empress in 1804. Her first beauty had long left her, and it is said she had prac ticed the fatal and fashionable art of enameling until the enamel would no longer retain its hold on her skin, but cracked and covered her with a constant layer of white powder. For ordinary occasions her hair dresser was a M. Berbeault, "a magnificent creature in an embroid ered costume, with a sword at his side," but for any important occa sion M. Duplan, the most consum mate artist in the world, was called in. M. Duplan's salary for these occasional services was 20,000 francs a year, increased later by Na polcon to 42,000 francs. These two unrivaled artists designed for Jo sephine's benefit no less than a thousand new methods of hair- dressing, each adapted to the spe cial circumstances in which it was worn. Much as Josephine loved her hnn dreds of costly dresses, she loved her jewelry more and was never happy unless she was adding almost daily to her treasures. In a few short months she spent half a mil lion francs on jewels, and her hap piest hours at Malmaison were spent in spreading out her thou sands of gems on the table before her and gloating over their dazzling charms. Her extravagance was the cause of many tears and much upbraid ing from Napoleon, who grew tired of paying bills, many of them reach ing almost a million francs. But in tbe end he usually succumbed to her pleading and penitence and would say to her: "Come, Jo sephine! Come, my little one I Console yourself. I will make it all right." Poor, silly Josephine! Poor Napoleon ! He Didn't Go. "Going to tbe lodge, Arthurf ex claimed tbe yonng wife. In surprise.

Government Expert 8howed What a Composition of Sand and dumbo Would Do When Properly Handled. Many Benefits Realized. Until recently tbe farmers south of Dodge City, Kan., were put to all aorta of Inconvenience getting to town with tbelr crops for market. In that section of Ford county Is aa good wheat land probably as can be found In the state. The owners of these lands are for tbe most part Uermana. and tbelr success In raising large crops was proverbial. But they bad one particular legitimate complaint That waa tbe condition of the road between tbelr farms and Dodge City. For about two and one-half miles tbe main county thoroughfare passed through tbe sand bills. This aand hill road was about tbe worst lo be found in that section. There were placea in wblcb tbe wbeela sank Into tbe aand halfway to tbe bubs, while the remainder of tbe distance was most difficult of passage. In tbe placea where tbe sand waa deepest an empty wagon drawn by two horses bad bard work getting through. Then- was only one time when this road was in a fairly good condition, and thai was directly after a bard rain. It would then pack itself bard. But thl good condition would last only a !ay or two, and as rains are not overfre quent In this part of tbe state tb sand hills road was bad. nearly the yeur around. Tbe citizens of Dodge City realized that they were confronting a serious problem, for many of tbe farm ers were threatening to move away. Tbey appealed to ltepresentatlve Ed ward H. Madison, who became Inter ested. He went lo the good roads bu reau of the department of agriculture In Washington and asked that a roads expert be sent to Kord county. Tbe request was immediately granted. W. L. Spoon was sent to Dodge City. After looking over tbe sand bill be made tbis reassuring statement: "Your people can bare as good roads a anywhere In tbe country and with as little expense aa anywhere. I'll show you bow to build 100 yard of good road through tbe worst sand, and with that lesson yon can continue it" In tbe low placea In tbe sand bill Mr. Spoon found close to tbe proposed road a gumbo-Ilk soli wblcb be mixed with 75 per cent of sand. With tbis mixture be constructed a road that after a bard winter and almost con stant travel is still like a race track. ' Tbe proposed road was first lined center stakea and aide stakea set at tb required distances. The roadbed sur face was plowed, disorganizing every part of It. Tbe barrow waa then used, separating turf and grass from tbe sand. Tbe grading and leveling fol lowed, making easy grades where re quired. Tb road plow was again used, tbla time outside tbe stakea. Three furrows were thrown to the stakes, making a brace to bold tb clay In tbe roadbed. On top of the clay bottom lo tbe road trench wer spread aand and gumbo, care being taken that 00 grass or roots were left In It Tbe mixture of sand and gum bo waa alanted o a to abed lb wa ter. Time hardens tbe gumbo tend mix tore. Tbla 100 yard of experiment waked up tb farmer and tb city folk of Dodge. Immediately two and one-half mile additional road wer construct ed. For nine tnontba tbe road baa stood tbe test end tbe farmers In oth er parts of the county ar building similar roads. "What benefit baa been derived from tbla road Iroprovrmcntr waa aaked W. J. K.tigersld. lieutenant governor, a large merchant In Dodg City. ' "That's bard to answer." be said, "becana the benefits bar been so many and varied.
