Lexington, Ky.—A report from
Stanford, Lincoln county, says
that George Isaman, a farmer of
the mountain section, has been
placed In jail at Stanford on a
charge made by his daughter,
Annie, eighteen, that her father
had attempted to shoot her. The
girl charges her father sold her
at 10 cents a pound, a total of
$15, to Joseph Zubra. When he
came to the home some weeks
later to claim his purchase, the
father was greatly displeased at
the girl’s refusal to carry out the
terms of the sale and tried to
shoot her. Isaman and his fam-
ily are highly respected In their
rural community, It is said. The
girl Is pretty and well educated.

While building operations In tbs
northern part of the country are at a
standstill until spring comes, farmers
who will need a new barn before an-
other year rolls around should begin
to make their plans. By carefully con-
sidering the size of barn needed to ac-
commodate the dairy herd, plans may
be secured and a contractor engaged
so that the work of building can begin
early In the spring. Building coats

the last few months and, those In the

when real estate men began to get op-
tions on property near the magnificent
mansions. Members of the Vanderbilt
family and others owning homes there
expended millions of dollars In buying
up property In an effort to stem the
tide.
Much of this property was purchased
at exorbitant figures, and after a lapse
of yerrs has fallen buck for business
use. Hotels, bunking houses, Jewelry
stores, millinery and line tailoring es-
tablishments have gradually crept
northward along the thoroughfare.
The home which Mrs. Vanderbilt is
forsaking at Fifth avenue and Fifty-
second street will become the site of a
trust company. Its sale was made i>os-
slble as the result of the death of Mr.
Vanderbilt In Paris, when the house,
owned by his estate, was sold to the

Winter Is the time when farmers,
dairymen especially, appreciate the
value of a modern, weather-tight barn
for their herds. For in the modern
barn the animals are kept as healthy
and productive during the cold weath-
er as when they are In pasture. They
have fresh air to breathe, are warm
and produce as much milk under the
present-day method of feeding as they
do In the summer.
In years gone by any structures
that provided shelter against the win-
ter storms and cold was considered
good enough for the dairy cows. Now.

the feeding alley, with the cow stalls
facing it. Along each wall la a litter
alley. Over the feeding and litter al-
leys is an overhead track for the car-
rier, which takea the feed to the man-
gers at the stall heads and removes
the litter. This feature alone saves
at least two hours of labor a day. It
will be noted by the dot-and-dash line
that the carrier track connects all
parts of the barn, so that feed may be
loaded into the carrier in the feed
room and transported directly to the
mangers. The Utter alley track runs
out of the barn to the manure pits or
sheds at the rear.
Fresh air without drafts is another
Important feature of this barn. On
either side of the building there are
foul air vent shafts near the stable
ceiling. These vents are connected
with the suction ventilators on the
roof. The ventilators draw the foul
air out of the stable without creating
u draft on the cowa.
Set Into tlie concrete flooi* are san-
itary steel stall partitions, swinging
stanchions and manger partitions. The
manger Itself is of concrete, with a
slight pitch to one end, so that it may
be flushed out with hose and kept
clean. At the rear of the stalls la a
concrete gutter sunk into the floor.
The gutter also is pitched to a drain
for washing. Shown on the floor plan
are cork brick floors. Cork bricks are
made of cork compressed into the
shape of a building brick. These
bricks are laid into the floor and are
desirable because the animals will not
slip, neither will they cause sore feet
or sore sides when the cows lay on
them.
Taken all in all, this Is a most mod-
ern barn—one that will house the dairy
herd comfortably, keep the cows
healthy and Increase milk production.

New York.—Stealthy but steady ad-
vances by tradesmen, covering a period
of more than twenty years, have vir-
tually broken the residential exclusive-1
ness of Fifth avenue, known the world
over ns the home precinct of the Van-
derbilts, Carnegies, Harrimans, Plants,
Fricks and oilier wealthy families.

Fifth avenue much of its glitter and
fume are surrendering to commercial
enterprise, and the rich are seeking > |ilst word from the
homes In new “exclusive" parts of the
city. Real estate men, who have
watched with interest this aggression
of trade, say that another decade will
have wiped out the hist bit of residen-
tial exclusiveness in tile avenue.
Mrs. Vanderbilt Moves.
The change In Fifth avenue was re-
flected iu the recent purchase of prop-
erty bordering the East river at Fifty-
eighth street by Mrs. William K. Van-
derbilt. Sr., where she intends to build
a home in a section known as Sutton
square. This hit of property is direct-
ly across from Blackwell's Island,
where n city prison Is located, and Is
almost underneath the Manhattan ap-
proach to the Queensborough bridge.
Real estate men expect that Mrs. Van-
derbilt's migration to the East river
will mean n new exclusive district in I life,
a part of the city where near-slums
existed before.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, who a few years
back helped to make Fifth avenue his-
tory with her brilliant social activities,
said when she purchased the Enst
river property that Fifth avenue had
“lost its residential atmosphere, which
was Its most valuable charm." Traffic
and crowds, resulting from the trade

If good results are to be obtained

Guard Against Drafts.
Drafts should be avoided In the hen
house, poultry specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture say. If hens are placed In e
draft tn winter, colds will develop,
which may result In roup or other ali-
ments. The south side, or front, of
the poultry house may be left com-
paratively open, but should be under
control, so the openings may be closed
gradually ns cold weather approaches.
Have muslin curtains at the front
openings of the house. One window
should be left partly open in each pen.

ventilation. Fowls can stand consid-
erable cold air provided if Is dry.
Feed the grain in a deep litter on
the floor In the winter to compel the
hens to exercise for all of their grain.
The mash may be fed either wet or
dry and should be so regulated that
the fowls will get about equal parts
of mash and scratch grains. It is nec-
essary to give the fowls plenty to eat
to obtain good results, but the birds
should be eager for each feed. In cold
