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

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.

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. If the cow has to

sary roughness causes the cow to hoid
up her milk and reduces the pr.-iii::.
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

tendency and tends to keep tbe cow

How to Get Thsm In Good Shape
For Wintsr Hauling.
DON'T WAIT UNTIL SPRING.
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

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.

DRAGGING
VANITY OF AN EMPRESS"
Josephine Dearly Lovsd Her Gowns
and Her Jewels.
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.

How One Kansas Community
Learned a Lesson.
THE EXPERIMENT A SUCCESS.
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

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

W. J. K.tigersld. lieutenant governor,
