The old man buried his face in his lbands and wopt. All his life he had worked hard and Zhad tried to do right and to hold the respect of his fellow men. ' He had been a good husband and a «it. {kind father, but it availed him not in the hour of his extremity. 'That very morning his wife had cut rover a"pair of‘his son’s castoff trou- sers and had insisted that he must Twear them. ' Talk not of grief until you have seen a case of this sort.

Duh-y Barn For Twenty Cows. In answer to a request for a plan for a twenty cow dairy barn to cost not more than $400 Breeder’s Gazette says: That is a low figure for a barn well , built with twenty cow capacity, but if . 1 p... FLOOR PLAN OF BARN. the builder will do some of. the work himself he can accomplish it in good shape. He should by all means put in the cement floor with gutters be- hind the cows, as shown in plan sub- mitted. Then he should make the barn warm and light it thoroughlyâ€"let in as much sun as possible on each side. Make four bents, placing them four- teen feet apart. This will make a barn forty-two feet long, and the propel width is thirty-two feet. Put in a ma- nure carrier behind the cows and a feed carrier in"front of them if there-in money left. The posts eighteen‘feet, lower rafters fourteen feet, upper rafters eleven feet, makes a building high enough to have much storage ce-‘i. pacity. Period of Gestation. During the last year an accurate ac- count was kept of a dairy of twenty- five'cows with reference to the exact period of gestation, writes a Vermont farmer in Hoard’s Dairyman. The cows are mostly young, varying from two to ten years of age, all in good, healthful condition and in blood Guern- sey and Jersey, mostly of the latter. The sire of the calvesrwas a young Jersey bull full of vigor and life. or the twenty-five cows the longest period of gestation was 291 days. In this case the mother was five years old and the calf was a female. The short- est period was 274 days, the calf a fe- male, the mother six years old. The average- period of gestation for the entire herd was 284 23-25 days; to- tal number of male calves dropped, 14; of heifer calves, 11. Cows carrying male calves went on an average of 286 2-7 days, while those carrying fe- males-averaged 283 2-11 days. ‘ ' It thus appears that this record is confirmatory of the correctness of the opinion of dairymen generally that 285 ' days is the usual period of gestation for the cow under normal conditions. Clothes 0! the Milker. . . Clothes which have been worn inlthe fields during the day are not suitable for milking purposes. Every milker , should be provided .with a clean white milking suit. Such clOthes can be bought ready made for less than :1 doi- lar and it frequently washed will aid in securing clean milk. Milkers should also wash and dry their hands before milking and, above all, should keep them dry during milking. To wet the hands with the milk is a filthy pracâ€" tice. Dairy Notes. Stringy milk can be cured by keeping the cows clean. A cow that tests below 3 percent is not worth keeping. Crosses are usually better for farm- ers than pure breeds. Wash all the milk vessels with cold water before scalding. Whenever possible test the cow’s milk before buying her. COws and horses should not be allow- ed in the same pasture. Many dairymen like an ounce of salt to the pound of butter. Do not wet your hands when milk- ing._ If you do, you flavor the milk. 1’0in'ts A. bout Drugs.
