Type of Structure That Contains Ali Modern Equipment.
VENTILATION IS IMPORTANT
Design Provides Accommodations for Twelve Cows and Six Horses—Well Built and Protected Against the Elements. By W. A. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience, as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest, authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. Whenever you see a good looking herd of healthy cows, you can immediately conclude that they are well fed and housed. Unless a cow is protected by a modern, substantial home, she is not likely to be a heavy producer. There are several essential features in the construction of a dairy barn that will aid in increasing production and the barn shown here contains ipany of those features. In the first place it should be firmly built and protected against the elements of wind, lightning, etc. If you will notice, this barn has been equipped with lightning rods. Every year the toil exacted by this single element amounts to 58.000. 000. And the heaviest loss is found among farm buildings. In a recent report the Uinted States depart-
ment of agriculture stated that 95 per cent of this loss can be averted by the use of efficient lightning rod systems. Another important feature of barn construction, and one that has been taken care of in this building, is ventilation. The health of the animals housed in a barn of this kind depends primarily on the supply and kind of air they have to breathe. Unless the barn has been built so as to provide a maximum of fresh air the effect will he noticed in the animals’ output. This barn has been fitted with the most modern ventilating system, and all the foul air is drawn off through foul air flues which load from all parts of the barn. This barn is a good type, built for farmers who do not have a large herd. It is of plank construction, 34 by 38 feet, and will accommodate 12 cows and six horses. The cow stalls have been placed at one end of the barn, two rows of six facing in on a feed
aTTey. Litter alleys have been built at the ends of the stalls. All of these alleys have been fitted with overhead carriers, systems' which relieve this type of work. Farmers who have equipped their barns with these laborsaving systems have found they do not have much trouble keeping their help. The old system of hauling litter away in wheelbarrows was a hackbreaking proposition at the best, and did much toward discouraging the help, not to mention making the farmer boys dissatisfied and anxious
to go to the city.
All of the stalls are of the modern type, being equipped with the latest kind of stanchions and dunking cups. Plenty of good fresh water will help increase the milk flow. The drinking cup also does away with the old system of leading the cows to a trough, a task which was not very attractive in the cold winter season. At the other end of this barn are located the six horse stalls with a feed alley running along one end. Two grain bins at the far corner provide storage facilities from whence a supply can De drawn for the daily ra-
tions.
At the end of the feeding alley running between the cow stalls is a feed room where the feed can he ground and loaded onto the carriers for distribution among the various stalls. The silo is next to this feed room. It is built of wooden staves, a type that is very popular in some sections of the country. The staves are interlocked so as to form a continuous wall. The lightning rod at the top is designed to protect it from fire. A short distance from the silo is a small milk house equipped with a cooler where the milk can ho kept in good condition until it is hauled to the factory. This building is a very convenient asset to the farm building group. A large hay mow above provides plenty of space In the barn for feed storage. For the farmer who has
about ten to a dozen cows and a few horses this type of barn i, very admirably suited, and should prove to be an efficient unit in his plant. He does not .have any waste space, but has all the modern conveniences of the large ultra-modern dairy farm. Constructed of the best material in the first place, it will prove an economy as far ay maintenance goes, and an actual money saver because of its effective help in keeping up the morale of the help and health of the animals. The most important building to rhe farmer is the dairy barn because in it he houses his all-year source of income. Unless he gives it his careful attention he is liable to pay heavily for his neglect. It is better to build well then suffer later even though the expense may he somewhat greater. The initial cost is not the important factor. It is the upkeep and a good substantial barn of this type does not requin' as much expense as a poorly constructed^ building.
Virginia Still Holds Record. Even with the inauguration of an Ohioan as president next March assured, ns nearly as human events can he, Virginia will still hold the record for native sons in the White House. The record then will stand: Virginia, Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, Wilson, 8; Ohio, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, McKinley, Taft, Harding or Cox, 7. Of Virginia’s sons five were of English paternal ancestry, two Scotch, one Welsh. Of Ohio’s sons three were of English paternal ancestry, two Scotch, one Scoteh-Irish. We have seen no authorized statement of the paternal ancestry of Harding or Cox.
Experiments in Road Building. In order accurately to determine the durability of the various kinds of roadway, the government bureau has a stretch of roadway at Arlington representing all the different methods of road building, and over this a heavy machine is drawn back and forth by cal)le > This is supposed to reproduce the action of vehicles passing over it and tiie results are carefully noted and compared. The result of the operations will be used as a guide to the expenditure of nearly $300,000,000 which will be made under government auspices during the next three years.
In Favor bf Yachts. “You prefer yacht racing to horse racing or motor racing?” “I do. You can take your wife to see all kinds of sail boats without her insisting on your trying to own one.”

Cures Wrought by “Sleep-Baths." Among the many wonderful cures which the war has produced is the “sleep-bath.” It Is to be had on the thousand-acre estate at Enham, Hampshire, where many of the disabled men are being treated. Practically every kind of hath is available there, but the big “sedative bath” has worked the most miracles. The patients lie in hammocks, while water flows over them. The hammocks are immersed, and the water is kept about the temperature of the body. The gentle flowing motion has a most soothing effect upon the nerves. Provided the man has not been pronounced incurable, any disabled exsoldier may apply for treatment through his local pension committee.
Human Fly Says It’s Safe. Polley, the human fly, who climbed the 37 stories of the Woolworth building in New York, says climbing tall buildings is just a trick of balance. It took him nine years to acquire it, but now that he has it he believes his way of making a living is as safe as any other. He recently told a reporter for Capper’s Weekly he had never fallen, except on one occasion when a “fly” above him fell and knocked Polley to the ground. Polley doesn’t smoke, drink or indulge in any habits that might injure his health. He declares he takes no foolish chances and that he never becomes dizzy.
Broke. “Hi, there, sir!” shouted a Florida landlord to a departing guest who was rushing for the train, “you’ve dropped your pocket book.” “All right,” shouted hack the guest without stopping. “I’ve no further use for it.”—Boston Transcript.

ALL DELIGHT TO HONOR F0CH
Whole World Paid Homage to the Genius of the Gree.t French Master of War. Marshal Foch’s home in the Avenue de Saxe, Paris, has become one of the wonderful dwelling places of the world. Far more than a dwelling place, it is now a museum of glory. The rooms of that modest first floor flat are crowded with the trophies which all civilization has offered in homage to the man who led the allies to victory. Such profusion of beautiful things and notable works of art is rare, and admidst it the unassuming figure of the marshal moves almost grieved, as it seems, by the possession of these precious tributes, which only his kindly courtesy induced him to accept. They come from every part of the world. That large, solid'silver statuette of a French general of the Napoleonic wars is signed by Los Amigos de Francia a Francophile league in Spain. Next to it is an alabaster figure by a French master. Over the hearth stands a great gilt empire clock inscribed “To Marshal Foch, from the grateful town of Cassel.” Gold caskets, jeweled swords of honor, antique and valuable miniatures and ivories, the splendid enameled collar of the Grand Cross of the Bath, are crowded together in the glass cabinets that line the walls. Here is all the respect, all the enthusiasm, all the gratitude and joy of victory of a whole world, expressed in the finest and loveliest forms that the ingenuity of great artists, sculptors, goldsmiths, can contrive. And it is proof and touchstone of the merit of the man to whom they have been offered that he lives in this illustrious treasury of glory without seeming to be conscious either of it or his fame.— G. Ward Price, in the Continental Edition of the London Mail.
BEFORE WHITE MAN’S COMING
Eight Groups of Indians bdvided the Land Which We Now Know as North America. The North American Indians were divided into seven or eight great groups, according to their various languages. The Algonquins made up the largest family, comprising the eastern tribes of Canada and the United States south of Hudson hay, east of the Mississippi river and south to Virginia and Tennessee, Including the Ojibwas, Ottawae, Orees, Algonquins and Blackfeet. The Iroquois or Five Nations of Cooper’s sPVring tales inhabited the east central states, including New Ycck. West of them lived the Dakotas or yioux, from Canada to Arkansas and from the Mississippi to the Rocky mountains. The Muskokis or Appalachians occupied the southeastern states as far west as the Mississippi; while, the Shoshonis were at home in the region from Texas to Montana and from California to Idaho. The Athabascas, the Ymnas, and the Pueblos occupied Alaska and Canada, Oregon and New Mexico respectively.
ENTITLED TO HIS PENSION Intelligent Dog Well Earned the Gi'atitude of His Master—Action Saved Child's Life. / ' V — / Teddy, age T enty-two, is, his o^tqer declares, 1 oldest dog in Ohio. He is now res '■ on his laurels* for he recently sa ’the life of one of the children ol master, Ontas O. Swander, a farm 'ear Toledo, Ohio. It has been Te. ’s duty and floy to accompany the Sv ider childrftn to school, a mile distant, - nd bring £hem home again, daily. He has neveMheen late on the job. On the wa^/home from school recently, one of the little Swanders became ill suddenly and fell by the roadside. Teddy IrrAn. diately started at his fastest pace (for home and made such a fuss thaty members of the family accompanied, him back along the road. They found the child, unconscious, and extremely cold. He was hurried home and restored to health. The Swanders believe that Teddy’s prompt . action saved the child’s Ufa. Mr. Swander immediately bought a dog license for his faithful dog. “I’ll have no dog catcher chasing him. If anything should happen to that dog, my family would grieve as much as if he were one of them,” declared Mr. Swander. Teddy is half coyote and half Indian dog. He was bought from a band of Comanche Indians in Oklahoma 16 years ago.—Charles A. Henderson, in Our Dumb Animals.
COMFORT IN AIRPLANE CABIN
Great Contrast in Flights in Inclosed and Open Machines; as Described by Passenger. I recently had the opportunity of making two airplane flights in the same day, the first in one of the completely inclosed transport machines, the second in a fighting machine which was developed In America during the last few months of the war and which has a speed of about 135 miles an hour. The force exerted by the air against any exposed surface is about three times as great at this speed as it is at 80 miles an hour. During the first of these two trips (he only complaint that could have been raised against conditions in the pilot’s compartment would have been that it was rather close and we finally had to open a window In the side of the body to secure a little ventilation. 0 One of the occupants of ihe cabin was we; ring a soft felt hat, and not the tligliLst rustle of air disturbed the brim. In the second flight, on the other hand, it was only with difficulty that I could lift my head far enough out of the gunner’s cockpit to look over the side at the ground. The instant my head war raised above the top line of the ce v'anc body, so that the wind got a A ha nee at It, my hair threatened to be torn out by the roots.—Edward P. Warner in Yale Review, Chorus Girl Worked as Housemaid. A Parisian housekeeper who had long been without a servant succeeded the other day in engagjng one who seemed very promising indeed. She entered upon her duties 'in the morning, and worked to her mistress’ complete satisfaction. An early dinner was cooked and served exceflently, but at 8:30 the new maid appealed in the drawing room with her hat on, and explained that she had to/go out, as I she was In the chorus at a; music hall I and was sure to ( be fined if she arrived late. Apparently she was quite prepared to continue her two jobs without regarding them as incongruous. Owing to a lack of modernity in the mistress’ ideas, this interesting experiment was not continued.—From the Continental Edition of the London Mail.

Coming right down to brass tacks, the man who can’t see any good in the other fellow’s side of the proposition is too prejudiced to make a good citizen.
If unfilled promises were grounds for impeachment, a lot of other aspirants would have opportunities to make promises they couldn’t keep. ^

Drivers have been named for twentythree of the speed creations but the entrants of two have cautiously withoeld the pilot’s names. Five of the Irivers are braving the briney deep to get a chance at the fame and fortune incident to victory in the International race and six overseas cars ivill,compete with the best of Amerioan racing productions. Six of the drivers named have nevar competed in an event at Indianapolis, but all of them have establish3d records on road courses oh other speedways. All of them will be imofig the first to hit the brick of the lifficult Hoosier track to practice, -vhile the old timers who have coursed vhe track lap after lap will devote more time to the preparation of the mounts and general conditioning of themselves. The Italian flag will fly over the tarage of DeP^lma and Resta, both laving been boji in Italy, while the ricolor of France will wave over the arge French colony composed of \ndre Boillot, Rene Thomas, Albert Guyot, Jean' Chassagne and their arge corps of assistants. Foreign ars entered in the race are Sunbeams, English; Peugeot, Talbot-Durracq ind Ballot, French, with the other lars all made in America. In the race there will be five strong earns composed of two or more cars vith at least four lone wolves, promnent among them, Ralph DePalma.

The boys were arrested as pickpockets. They were fined $50 and told the judge they reformed. He :hen suspended the fine and imposed the church sentence.
ANDRE BOILLOT IN RICH AUTO CLASSIC
Race Drivers Train for Longt Auto Jaunt at Indianapolis
TT takes more than a mechanical marvel and clever driving to compete in a long automobile race, such as the International 500-mile race, to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, May 30. The driver must have a physique that will withstand the torments of swirling about the two-and- ! one-half mile bricked oval at gravity-defying speed. All the drivers go : through a long period of training before they are ready to start and even then i it is sometimes necessary to relieve them for a time during the race. Roscoe Sarles, shown above with a sparring partner, boxes nearly every ! day before a race. He squeezes into his busy day at least an hour of vigor- | ous exercise, a cold plunge and a “college” rub down. Dario Resta plays golf and takes long walks. Ralph De Palma trains every day of his life, and by i leading a simple life is ever ready for the starter’s “Go.” Ira Vail does a lot 'of cross-country driving and spends plenty of time sleeping. Ralph Mulford. [the clown of the race track, says, “I just eat all I can and let the bumps digest ■; it.” Tommy Milton plays handball and his buddie, Eddie Hearne, drives in a [touring car over country roads. Andre Boillot, the French pilot, spends most [of his time on a farm in sunny, southern France.

'TIEMPERMENTAL Andre Boillot, the dainty French race driver, who is coming to America to attempt to get a slice of the $85,000 melon to be cut at the Ninth International 500mile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, May 30, positively abhors unclean nails. In fact, he says, “any driver who starts a race with dirty finger nails does not deserve to win.” He is about as outstanding as Ralph De Palma when it comes to the neatness of his driving garb and car as the race starts. Last year he was a member of the unsuccessful invading French team of three Peugeots, but this year lie will be seen in a Talbot-Darracq, which is also a French speed creation.
