OD 3SLDIER WAS_CONSTIPATED Says Black-Draught Cured Him of His Troubles of 12 Years Standing. 3 ottville, N. .0.--Mr. James Dick u an old resident of this place, un Cf 1v War Veteran, recently made the toltowing statement: "I am 67 years oA1c and am an old soldier of the war Cif '61. I had constipation for 12 years. The doctors said I would never be any better, but now I can tell them better. I had taken dollars and dollars' worth of blood tablets, but they got so they didn't do me much good. Then I got to taking your Black. Draught, and I had not taken one full )fackage until I found that it relieved the constipation. I took two or three packages, and it has cured me, and I praise it to all of my friends." Thousands of people in the past 70 years have found help for constipa tion in the use of Thedford's Black. Draught. Many families keep Black Draught in the house all the time, and use it at the least sign of constipation, indigestion, biliousness, or other liver troubles. Black-Draught is purely vegetable reliable and without bad after-effects. Good for young and old. Get a pack age from your druggist today, and take a dose tonight. You will feel bet tor tomorrow.

FEWER BUILDINGS, BUT GOOD Large Number of Scattered Sheds and Barns Spoils Appearance of Prop orty-Also Wastes Time and Money. Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF 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 Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is. without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Rad ford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago. Ill., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Some of the buildings on the aver age farm, as a matter of economy in original investment and also in labor cost of doing certain parts of the farm work, may be designed to serve a mul tiple purpose. Of the possible combi nation buildings, perhaps the most log ical is the combined ice house and milk house. The appearance of the farm is very much benefited by having a smaller number of high-grade build ings of somewhat larger size. A large number of scattered outbuildings not only result in the appearance of dis organization, but this arrangement very often actually results in the waste of miles of walking between buildings, when the matter is considered on a basis of a year's time. Even though the combination building be, in real ity, two separate buildings under one roof or two departments having no /_ _ connecting aIrenway or pa1 llssages, the result of the combinaton is the same, if the selection of the par ts of the combination is carefully made. The ice house and the imilik house must, of necessity,, be definitely sepa rated by a wall well insulated against variations in temperature, yet a goodl proportion of the contents of the ice house will eventually be used in the milk room andl the comubination of these buildings results in a saving of time in filling the bunker or in obtain lag lee for other purposes in the milk house part of the building. Good dairy men will not keep milk near the ables, even though the law in their .state does not force themi to observe this precaution, The milk house is then a necessity and it will ordinarily be obtainedl in one of three ways: Ini Icase theQ damiry bulsine'ss is large, a sep arate building, fitted withu all of the modern equfipmend~t necessar'y to the conduct of a payinmg dairy business, Iwill be needed. In ease the amount ofi ;DAiRY ROOM Cr, S!OR .ACS Floor Plan. milk handled is not great enough to warrant the use of a separate building, the milk hlouse mullst be combined with either the farmuhouse or the ice house. Under certain conditions, the farmer might desire an extension to his house which would ingude bothu the Ice house and the ilk house. A farm house designed in this way is among others in a group of designs recently Drepared by the United States depart mnent of agriculture. If such a schjeme is not used, the combined bilding should, nt least, be placed as near tihe farmhouse as- possible. There are certain conditions wvhichu must be taken into account in building tile ice house. The first is that its lo cation must be such that good drain age is possible. There is always a loss by melting and the water must be car ried well away from the building and disposed of either in the soil, through a drainage system already in place or by connection with- a stream. The de sign will account for the other condi tions, which are related to the proper constructnonn ofe w..als a.,d ..oof of the building to secure sufficient in sulation to prevent undue loss. Struc tural tile has been found an excellent material for the' constauction of farm ice houses. Its ordinary use provides a series of dead air spaces which are very effective as an insulation against temperature variation. It is, of course, necessary to use care in the constrdc tion of the walls so that no leaks are present to admit warm air to the in jerior of-the house. The inside of the house must be lined with some water proofed insulation so that moisture does not have an opportunity to work into the mortar joints and body of the tile. Within the main walls of the fee house there may be a partition placed near one end to form a milk room and ice bunker. Such an arrangement is more economical of ice than to build the milk room in some part of the milk house remote from the ice house. The door into the milk room should be constructed in the same manner as the continuous doors placed in the outside wall of the ice house. The milk house size and arrange ment will depend upon the method of handling the milk. If special equip ment is used, provision must be made 'for it in the house. There is more to be considered than simply the size. For instance, the farmer who wishes a gasoline engine in his milk house, to turn the separator, churn, ice cream freezer or whatever other equipment is used requiring power, must have provision for the playing of a concrete base, at the time of pouring the foun dation and floor, and an outlet must be provided in the wall or roof for the ex haust pipe of the engine. If a boiler is required, it may be necessary to pro vide special floor construction for it. In any event, the milk house should be provided with a chimney and a cooling tank should be conveniently placed, in the design. Unless a supply of pure water is near at hand and can be con veniently piped to the milk house, itjs advisable to place a pump in the milk house. Some farmers place the equip ment of their water supply system for the farm in their dairy house. The washing of cans and milking utensils requires a small sInk which should be placed where there is plenty of light. Thle combined ice house and dairy shown in the accompanying perspective and floor plan is a well-designed build ing of very neat appearance. The walls of the building are of structural tile, built upon a concrete foundation. The ice is intended to he covered with saw (lust or straw that has been put through the cutting box. Continuous doors for easy filling extend from the concrete wall almost to the peak of the building. The dlairy is big enough to handle the milk from a good-sized dairy herd w~hen the milk is run through the sep nrator and the skimmned milk fed to wvell-bred young stock as quickly as possible after being separated. One of the easiest and best ways of start ing a farm dairy business is to handle the milk in this way. The cream should be sent either to the city or to the creamery. Skimmed imilk when fed to pure-bred calves anid pigs haos a spe cial value that brings better returns than selling the milk. There is very little fertility carried away from the farm in cream cans. Farmers who do a careful dbairy business have valuable stock and get high prices for the ani mals fed In this way. The value of the dairy house can only be measured by takingE into account all of the vari ous features of the business such as this method of feeding suggests, irving's Pen Names.
