Gisof Hot Wate Before Breakfist a Splendid Habit Open sluices of the system each morning and wash away the poisonous, stagnant matter. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, lame back, - can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning. We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in It to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans Ing, sweetening and purifying the en -tire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of limestone phosphate -and hot water on an empty stomach Is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour Sormontations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it ds said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the -cheeks. A quarter pound of lime. stone phosphate will cost very little at your druggist or from the store, but Is sufficient to make anyone who Is .bothered with biliousness, constipa tion, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of in ternal sanitation. Try it and you are assured that you will look better and feel better In every way shortly. Adv.

WELL WORTH CAREFUL STUDY Intending Builders Will Quickly See Points That Make Building So Desirable-Two Silos Provid ed, as Cheaper Than One Large One. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Radford will answer iuestions and give advice FREE 01F COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as IEditor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Rad ford, No. 1821 Prairie avenue, Chicago. Ill.. and only Inclose two-cent stamp for reply. Three different kinds of material are used in the construction of the large and well-equipped dairy barn that is shown here. The foundations are of concrete, the walls up to the floor of the haymow are of structural tile, and the upper part of the barn is framed. Concrete is used almost universally for foundations now, no matter how the rest of the building is built. Struc tural tile makes a most satisfactory wall for several reasons. Walls made of this material are very quickly built and the air space in the tile forms an effective insulation against tempera ture changes. Because of the nonab sorbent surface of vitrified tile the walls can be readily washed down and kept clean. Tile is not subject to de --im cay and will therefore last indefinitely, the same as concrete. The upper part of nearly all barns is built of frame because it is so much cheaper than~ any other way of doing this work. The clear space betwveen the floor and the ceiling is eight feet six inches, It is much better to have too much head- room than too little, especially in a large, well-built barn, which car be kept warm very easily. There it another reason for building witi plenty of roon. In this particular cast the litter carrier runs out onto crane that is high enough above thi fground so that the manure can bi emptied directly into" the manur spreader without all the muss that i: generally caused if the material ii placed in a pile and emptied into th *manure spreader later, If the grouni is on a slope this process can be cai ried out very readily, but in som c ases a slight depression is dug a that the manure spreader can be ru into thuis and lowered enough so tha the carrier will runi on the crane wvel over it. The crane is shown in th lperspective and also in the floor plar The floor plan shows most complett ly tihe extensive and well-designed ver tilating system. The intakes ar placed in the structural tile wall an run over the cows and let the free Is air in above their heads. The air i then carried back across the animal and goes out throulgh the foul-al shafts back of the cattle, from wher it is carried in flues up along the wal s. and along under the roof to the yeu w tilators on the peak. The dotted line ih in the floor plan show the arrang4 tmont, with its various parts. The facing-in arrangement is use in this plan, but it could be easli changed to the facing-out style if di le sired. $uch a change would also ir volvo a chlange in the ventilating sy~ -- Il L- - JT lL bf Ploor Plan of Rtemodt *Concrete Beidd~ tem, and woum the wall and the dtet. tral part of the .t6ble. would not have to be oba way however, as e it possible to run thi -ar o *of the tracks from Iny of tracks. The floor plan learly the construction nd arrangemen. of the track, with all the necedary, switches. All the interior finishings ahd ws)lp of the barn should be as smooth as possible, so that the barn can b.e washed down with cold water, eac day. All the stanchions are generally made of enameled iron or Japanned iron, so that the water will not have any effect on them. Two- silos are included in the plan for this barn. in many instances the owner may decide that it would be better to build one large silo, but very often it is cheaper to build two small. er ones. The higher the silo goes the more it costs per foot to build it, and very often it is much cheaper, if care. fully figured out, to build two silos that do not go very far above the ground. The feeding is generally very easy in either case. One of the details of a barn tpat is very important is the type of hanger that is to be used on the sliding doors. In a large barn such as this one there are quite a few sliding doors, and the best quality of material should be used, or they will be a nuisance. The kind that is chosen should have a cover over the track so as to protect it from the action of the weather and also keep the birds out of it. It should be strong enough so that there will be no tendency to sag or break. Little things like this are often con sidered unimportant, but if a farmer had a door break down during very cold weather and had to nail it in po sition to keep his stock warm until he could fix it, he would be much more likely to consider such little things of importance afterward. The floor plan shows all the equip ment that is necessary to do all the work in the stable. For instance, hydrants are placed in the stable to NIXI handle the cleaning. This is a good plan, because the stable will be warm enough so that there will be very little danger of the hydrants freezing, as they might if they were on the out - side. The study of this plan will b-e worth while to any man that is interested in the best modern practice in the er rangement of dairy stables for the maximum amount of convenience. Undesirable Erzerum. Erzerum, the ancient Armenian city which the Russians have taken from the Turks, is, from the European point of view, one of the most undesirable places of residence upon earth. It stands more than 6,000 feet above the sea, and in winter the temperature falls to 20 degrees below zero, while I in the passes by which it is approached - rages the Tipi, a terrible blizzard. But Erzerum is at its worst in sum >mer, owing to the appalling lack of i sanitation. Mr. Hepworth, an Amern t can clergyman, who was there after I the Armenian massacres of 1896, found 3 even an ollen gutter only in one or .two thoroughfares.

Too many people let the chickens feed themselves. Oth ers seem to think that a few handfuls of corn thrown out night and morning is sufficient. Unless confined in pens where they cannot get at their natural food chickens will manage to survive on indifferent feeding for a long time, but if they are to be brought to a full Btate of perfection and if they are to be made to produce all the eggs possi ble and tip the beam at market time at the highest notch, a careful study of feeding is necessary. . The natural food of fowls is meat, seeds and grain. The meat they find in bugs. and worms and the dry feed in the seeds of grass and grain of the range. If allowed free range and giv en access to this in sufficient quanti ties fowls will balance their own ra tions and perhaps get as good results as if fed by hand. If they are con fined the lack of meat must be sup plied; but it must be understood that animal matter in the shape of meat meal, meat scraps or cut bone is dan gerous unless it is fed in conjunction with other food. It is extremely dangerous to give fowls too much of any concentrated food as it only renders them ravenous and unsatisfied, and in the end results in disease and death. Food must be nutritious and to balance the bulk, dry matter and animal matter must be of proper proportion to form just the right combination to produce health and the best conditions for laying and producing meat. As to the quantity to be fed there can be no fixed rule. The safe way is to feed liberally--all that the flock Chicken Feed Trough With Cover Re moved. will eat up clean. It is never safe to cut down the rations of growing birds until some feed is left over every day. Of course too much feed of the fat tening quality is not good for laying hens because they do not lay best . when overfed, but this does not mean that they should be starved. A well balanced ration consisting in the main of corn, wheat and animal matter will keep -a hen in fine laying condition. We do not believe that a very lean hen is the best layer. To persons who are obliged to buy all the feed for their flocks the ques DANGEROUS FOOD FOR CHICKS Practice of Feeding Salt to Cause Early Molt Should Be Avoided Unless Well Understood. Doubtless thousands of persons who ?eep a few fowls and depend upon the scraps from the kitchen consti tuting the greater portion of the food required to sustain~ them, are unaware of the danger there is in feeding salt food to poultry. A very little salt is known to be healthful for fowls, but if they re ceive more than a very small portion, such as might be found in oversalted victuals, or in scraps into which some accidentally spilled salt . had been thrown, it will- cause ,the hens to die, or if not sufficient to cause death, they will be apt to molt and lose their feathers out of season. Some poultrykeeperis who under stand just the quiantity : a-hien can stand without damage, will feed a lit tle salt early in autumn to cause the hens to molt early, soi as to insure eggs during the early winter months .when eggs are scarce, This praojice in dan gerous unlesis thoroughlly understood.

However, people are learning how to manage poultry and even with grain at the high prices that have prevailed the last five years have been able to make a compara tively good profit in poultry. For growing chickens a mitture composed of three pounds of wheat, three pounds of cornmeal, meat con taining 50 per cent of digestible pro tein mixed with two pounds of finely cut clover or alfalfa makes an excel Chicken Feed Trough Accessible From Both Sides With Cover On. lent ration. Other grains at times may take the place of wheat or corn, although nothing will quite equal them. Of course in addition to grain and meat fowls must have plenty of grit, granulated bone or wood charcoal at all times. Green food in the shape of chopped alfalfa leaves or.clover is es sential, particularly' in the winter when the birds do not have access to the range. This should be kept before the chickens at all times or it may be fed in the -grain mixture. Grit is absolutely necessary because chickens cannot digest the food in their crops without it. For this pur pose ground oyster shells, coarse sand or ground rock may be used. When at large chiekens supply their own grit and it is not necessary to keep it before them except when they are con fined. The difficulty of keeping the feed clean and dry during continued ex posure is nearly overcome by using tr'oughs with slatted sides and broad, detachable roofs. Build the troughs from six to ten feet long, with the sides five inches high. The lath slats are two inches apart, and the troughs are sixteen inches high from floor to roof. The roofs project about two inches -at the sides and effectually keep out the rain except when high winds prevail. The roof is very easily removed by lifting one End and slid ing it lengthwise. The trough can then be filled and the roof dr'awn back without lifting it. This arrangement saves the feed, keeping it in good con. dition and avoiditng'waste. The trough should 'be placed in a sheltered place out of reach of the wind. BALANCED RATION FOR EGGS Wheiat, Oats and Corn Make 0004 Sc'ratching Feed in Litter-Don''t Overlook Green Feed.
