Colos, in Portugal, contains a whole library on the subject of where Columbus was born. Not only does It hold that Columbus first saw the light of Tlay In that tiny village In the province of Alentejo (the country of the poet Caroens), but also that, Genoa to the contrary, he studied for his subsequent nautical calling In the Portuguese kingdom, and offered his services to the king of Spain only after they had been refused by Juan II of .. . . Portugal. The general opinion seepis to be that since Homer had no less than seven birthplaces, (according to the best authorities the towns themselves), no one can call four excessive for a man like Christopher Columbus. New editions of the encyclopedias reassert that Genoa was his birthplace. The Americana says he was born In Genoa probably In 1451." It records that he first offered to go on tiishvent-fu- l voyage for Juan II of Portugal, and that he also sent letters to Henry II of. England, with the same ill success. Nelsons (English) Encyclopedia records that the "discoverer of the new world was born In the neighborhood of Genoa and went to sea at fourteen," and was for a time In Portuguese maritime service. The New International Encyclopedia says he, the discoverer of America, was born In Genoa. But he married at Lisbon and there his son, Diego, was born. The Brltannlca records that he was the eldest son of Domenico Colombo and Suzanna Fontanarossa and was born at Genoa about 1446 or In 1451. New York Times. Ey WILLIAM A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all problems pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience ps editor, author and manufacturer, he Is, without doubt, the highest authority on the subject. Address all Inquiries to William A.

Of course the first consideration in the construction of farm buildings is to provide practical, efficient equipment for taking care of the work of tlie farm, hut it is unfortunate that to often the matter of attractive apIt pearance is entirely overlooked. is possible to have efficient and business-like buildings and at the same time make Ihem attractive looking and, in the broadest sense, their efficiency is actually increased by giving consideration to appearance. Any loan will do more and hotter vyork in neat attractive surroundiilgs than lie will in the midst of dirt and ugll ness. And .since good appearance is largely a matter of good design, and since a good looking barn costs no mure than an ugly one, it will pay to think of the question of appearance. A cow barn like the one shown here will make every man on the place fake a pride in his work and It is the workman who takes pride in his work who is the best employee no matter what kind of work is considered. This barn is designed to care for i cows. At the far ehd there are four special pens in addition to a large call' pen. Next, after a cross passage, there are two rows of cows stalls, one on each side of the central feed alley. There are eigiit stalls in each row. There is another passage and then two spore rows of nine stalls each. Beyond an end passage is- the feed room, off of which are two large silos. These silos are of concrete construction and have an ample capacity to supply all the stock cored for in tills barn.

Some time ago the general thought fit to arrest his subordinate because he refused to conform to the Venezuelan army regulations In regard to the length of his hair. The colonels complaint Is that General Hidalgo not only caused him to be put In Irons, but also ordered his hair, eye- - , brows and. mustache to be shaved off, thereby Inflicting great moral pain upon him. After his release the colonel challenged the general to a duel, but his telegram received no reply. A few days ago the colonel heard that his enemy was due in Paris, and he went to the Gare Saint Lazare to greet him. As the genera! left the station his victim gave him a thrashing with a cane, and both parties quickly found themselves in the hands of the police. All attempts to bring about a reconciliation proved vain. I will never forgive you for putting me In irons and shaving off m.v hair and eyebrows, Insisted the colonel.
