PRACTICAL BARN FOR COWS One'. With Sheep Fold for Breeding Ewes Found Very..Comfortable and Convenient. I herewith present the plans of my Cow barn, with sheep fold for breed ing ewes, both of which I have found very comfortable 'and convenient. For all -practical purposes I would ask for nothing better. The dimension of . building Is 28 by 52 feet with room above for 20 tons of hay and a wool room where I can store away 600 fleeces, writes Edwin E. Sedw'ick in the Farmers' Review. The corner posts are 12 inches at butt, 8 to 10 at top and 16 feet high. They are white oak and were obtained from my own timber. Such pols could not be bought for less than $1 each. All the woodwork, except shingles and siding, were obtained from the farm timbet lot and are mostly oak, elm, and bass wood.

(By R. 'G. WEATHIERSTONE.) While the Shorthorn is generally regarded as ( prime beef breed, there are among the best milkers 61 this country 'many strains of well bred Shorthorns. In New England there are one or two herds tnilng back to Arabella 'a'd the Constance and Wa terloo families. Many herds of Shorthorns can be found whose cows produce from 40 to 60 pounds of milk, per day. These cattle are smooth, well fleshed, and fatten off into prime beef. The admirers of Shorthorns claim that they can be so bred and fed that The Milking Shorthorn. they will produce good beef Ianimals and at the same time make good dairy cows. Or, they can be bred and fed for the dairy to the opposite extreme and make good beef as well. Of course such breeding . will, In Ump, ruin the constitution of the stock, and destroy their qualities both for the beef and the dairy. The ten dency'of the Shorthorn to fatten too easily is one of the objections to this breed; but properly fed, as they are in England, they still' retain a strong place in the dairy. HANDY BARN FLOOR SCRAPER implement Can Easily Be M.ade Out of Hardwood Board Cut Desired Length, With Handle. The . accompanying illustration shows a very handy floor scraper which can easily be made by taking a hardwood board the desired length and boring holes in it at, the proper spacing to fit the tines of an old fork, writes Monroe Conklin, Jr., in the Farm and Home. The board is then driven on the tines, which are broken off -at the face- of the board. The holes should be a very little smaller in di ameter than the tines in order that the board will bind when driven on them.

SPELL'S SICK SPELL flappy Ending to Experience That Might Have Developed Fatal Results. Rayne, N. C.-"I was in a very low btate of health last spring," writes Mrs. Z. V. Spell of this place, "and was not able to be up and tend to my duties. We consulted our family doo tor, and he advised-me to try Cardul, which I did, and soon began to feel better. I got 'able to be up and help to my housework. "I continued to take your medicine, and I am now able to do my house work and to care for my children, and I do not feel as though I could ever thank you .enough for the bene fits I have received. I shall heartily recommend Cardul to all similarly af flicted, for I think your medicine a Godsend to all women." Cardui is successful, because it con tains ingredients that act on the weak womanly organs. They are imported especially from Europe, by us, an'd are not in general use nor for' sale 'at drug stores, except in the form of Cardul. As a result of the experience of over 50 years, Cardui is now known as a medicine for women, of real merit, that can always be depended on. Please try it. N.

On the subject of his early success the Italian composer said recently in New York: "I have been very lucky. Recornl lion for artistic work comes so often aifter one is too old to. enjoy it. "I remember one of my country rael, a centenarian, who, had he died beforo seventy, would never have seen any of his operas produced. Luckily lie lived to so great an age that he re ceived for many years the admiration he deserved. Naturally enough, though, this splendid artist regretted his years of obscurity and neglect, and he frequently sppke bitterly of his bad fortune. "Once, at the very end of his long life, an Englishman entered his box at the opera in Rome, and said re spectfully: "'I have traveled all the way from London to see the author of my fa vorito opera.'
