I ROUND BARNS. , A d v a n ta g e s C la im e d F o r a Itoa a d B a r a l a e l o e l u g R o n n d S ilo * . Drawing some coinparlsous between tbe I'ouml and the square barn. Colonel F. I> Curtis o f Wisconsin write« to The National Stockman anil Fanner as follows: A neighbor Is building one o f the square order 30 by t!0 feet, stone basement, stalls for 30 cattle, frame »bout 20 feet high to roof, requiring T,000 feet o f lumber for frame. It Is 180 feet around It and has an area of 1,800 feet. A round barn 00 feet In di ameter may have a stone basement sail same height above, more or less. It will not take half as much lumber for its frame nor half as much labor to frame and put It up and be vastly stronger when completed. Tbe nrea or spare It Incloses Is 2,700 feet—half as much again as the square one compar ed with, and the area of the walls will be the same. It will give space for 40 to 45 rattle stalls Instead of 30 In tbe square barn, room for two round silos 10 feet each In diameter, If properly Qlled holding uot less than 300 tons, lo cated as near as possible In the center of the circle of the stock to consume the silage, saving more than half o f the labor of feeding silage when stored outside the stable. The plan o f basement here proposed Is designed to make 30 to 50 cattle com fortable In winter. The outside circle represents the wall o f the barn. Pref erably I would have a circular row of stalls around the outside, but this la broken In upon to give room to drive In a horse and cart—drive around and out tbe same door to clean out the Htnble. The stall partitions are to be hung to a 2 by 10 piece o f studding In the manger and the back end Is to be CI7HTI8 HARN. held In place by a sort o f stud button, a 2 by 4 with one bolt to confine It to the partition, the ends o f the stud to slide Into slots In the floor above and below, confining the cow In the stall by a chnln behind her. Preferably I would grade Into a bank 10 feet high above the basement, which would give space for a room between the stable and the floor above. It will be well If we can get an eight foot bank to drive In over the basement, better If we can get 10 feet and still better If we can get 24 foot to the ga ble. If a ridge roof with a third pitch. It would give us about 20 feet to the ridge of the roof where we would have a hay carrier. Our silos going Into the earth ten feet below the stable could stop at the top floor or could go some ten feet more to the support of the purline, "high enough to weight Itself.” A silo located ns here recommended Is scarcely more than 20 feet from any o f the Btock. S o r I b i T T i m o t h y , In my opinion there Is no better way o f getting a good stand o f timothy than to put the ground In good order and sow the seed about the last week lu September or first of October, one bushel to six acres, t have sown In corn the last time 1 worked the corn nnd got the best kind of a stand of timothy and clover, remarks a corre spondent In National Stockman.

Why do you not tell him?” asked Ralph. “ 1—1 forgot.” “ There!” said Mr. Wynne angrily. “ See how one lie begets another. Why could she uot have told me that in the first place?
