On Now In Um.
Ttiave Uvn lu the dairy business for
nine yearn, having begun as a reutcr
Id tho farm Unit 1 now own. I was
wised In the White Itlver valley and
have hnd but little expcrlcnco outaldo
ef farming, but have dabbled a little
hi naval and rural architecture.
I tried In vain to find au architect
or builder who could make working
plans or to tako a contract to erect a
round burn that would meet my needs.
8o I went to work and made plans of
my own and hired workmen by tho
day, and I uow have a round burn
(built on a sloping hillside) of the
following dimensions: Diameter, ninety-four
feet; lielK'bt of celling over
itnllft, ten feet on one sldo mid ulne
feet on tho other side, giving one foot

feet from second floor to tho
third, with a bridge of cany grado from
the hillside to tho third floor. It Uns

and sixty feet high to bo filled, live

All feed enters tho building by way of
the bridge to tho third floor and is
dumped down Inio tho silo, haymow,
gralu bin, etc.
The foundation for the bom and alio
walls Is made of concrete, and also the
walk behind tho cows and also the
gutters and mangers, both of which
have autQclent grade to drain them
dry after cleaning or watering. Then
there is no part of the first floor that
does not receive the sunshine during
some part of the day.
There Is no timber In the barn larger

wall ami the alio on either the second
or third floors, and the third floor Is
carried by the roof aud silo. There
ore auty window tnai aamu ngui
to the first fluor, 24 by 30 inches.
I am now taring for fifty bead of
cows and heifers lu this barn at the
present time and can care for a hun
dred when completed. The silo wall Is
double with six luch space between,
which makes the outgo for the ventilat
ing system.
The cows ure placed in a circular row
sill around the larn with beads facing
the center, and the young stock are on
a u inner circle facing out with a com
mon feeding floor between. The shin
gles were laid by a gauge ou the shin
gle hatchet.
The udvantuges 1 mid in a round
barn are many. The uuiin ones, as I
flud them, are. first, economy of labor
In getting feed to the cows; second, 40
per cent more space for material re
quired; third, a more equal division of
light, and. fourth, a more uniform tem
perature and purity of atmosphere, and
last, but not least, a round burn Is tho
only one that Is tornado proof.
I would advise any one who con
templates building n round barn to se
cure the service of a good builder who
has built a round barn before or one
who Is familiar with higher mathe
matics as applied to bulldlng.-A. E.

Paiturt Without Grain.
At tho Mississippi experiment sta
tion careful tests have been modo to
determine the value of alfalfa pasture
without gralu for hogs. Figs ranging
In age from three to twenty-four
months have -been used, and the re
sults of two years' work show that al
falfa is little more than a maintenance
ration for growing hogs without grain.
Satisfactory gains have always been
secured from alfalfa pastures by sup
nlemcntlug the pasture with from jl to
nor rent of the welcht of the hoes
In corn or other grain.
Cowpess without grain so far have
given better results than any other
croi) for hog pasture. In one test tho
erop was grown on thin hill land,
where ono acre of cowpeas produced
350 pounds of pork. In another test
on rich valley land one acre of cow-
peas produced 4S3 pounds of pork. The
hogs wore put in the ueiu wnen me
peas were about ripe.
