THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

WEATHER-PROOF BARN IS ASSET

Modem Building Profit-Maker for the Owner. DESIGN THAT IS POPULAR Keeps Live Btock In Good Condition and Makes Them More Produc-tive—-It Constructed of Hollow Tile. Mr. William A Radford will enewer 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. Those farmers who have good looking farm buildings take as much pride In them as the autoist does in a handsome automobile. But aside from the satisfaction that modern buildings bring to their owners, there Is a more practical side to having up-to-date barns, hog houses, com cribs and other farm structures. A good barn, one that Is weather-proof and has an interior arrangement that permits of the

work being done In the easiest way, is a profit maker for Its owner. The live 3tock are healthier and, in the case of the dairy farmer, are more productive. At the same time it costs no more to secure this extra production and the profits that go with it. With the costs of operating a farm as high as they are now and with the prices of the foodstuffs for man and beast that the farm produces at the present level, savings In labor and protection of crops and live stock are well worth considering. A ton of hay, a bushel of wheat or corn, and the health of the animals all mean money nowadays, and are worthy of being housed in buildings that will protect them from weather and rodents. This is particularly true with regard to the dairy herd, and the winter’s supply of feed for it. A well-construct-ed bam is essential to the prosperity of every farmer. In the accompanying Illustration Is shown the type of bam that is popular in the com beit, especially in lowa, where the farmers are extraordinarily prosperous. It Is a gambrel-roof building, constructed of hollow building tile. While this kind of a barn costs more to build than a plank frame building it will prove economical in the long run because it is practically indestructible. The hollow tile Is plastered with cement up to the window sills. Another strip is plastered two feet above the windows, which gives the building a finished appearance. The gambrel roof also adds to its appearance and gives the greatest amount of mow room. The stable floor is of concrete. As will be seen by the floor plan, one section of the stable Is for cows and the other for horses. Thq cow stalls are ranged along the two sides of the building and are separated by a driveway, or litter alley, which extends through the center of the building. The feed alleys are along either wall, and for this reason the silo Is placed at one comer. An overhead trolley track runs

over both the litter alley, for the removal of manure, and over the feed alleys for the distribution of feed. The stalls are of steel, with either concrete, steel or wooden mangers. At the rear of each of the rows of stalls is a gutter sunk into the concrete floor and connecting with a drain. This permits of washing down the stall floors and flushing the gutter. At the end of the barn four-horse stalls are provided In the floor plan,

but they are of sufficient size ao that more animals can be housed. Thl* section also has a concrete floor, gutter and stalls of one of the materials mentioned. 4 . There are no posts in the mow floor in this type of a barn, tearing all the space for the storage of roughage. The rentllator shafts are in the walls, leading from the foul air intakes in the stable to the ventilators on the root. From this description of the Interior of the barn it will be readily seen that the work of caring for the cows and horses can be done with the least amount of effort. The feed and litter carriers eliminate many steps in carrying both feed and manure, while the addition of a fresh-water system will bring the water to drinking cups at each stall, or to a tank set at one end of the building. The advantage of building of hollow tile Is twofold. The air spaces In the tile provide Insulation, which makes the barn warm In the winter and cool in the summer although the herd Is housed little during the hot weather. It also is practically Indestructible, and Is fireproof. When a fireproof or a fire-resistant roofing is used, there Is little danger that the building will be damaged by flames. The silo In connection with a hollowtile barn usually is constructed of the same material. In this construction It is practicable to put a water tower on top of the silo, which will furnish all the pressure needed to carry fresh water to all of the farm buildings. It will be noted that there is an abundance of windows in the stable wall. These permit the entrance of

botlgfresh air and sunshine, two essentials to the health of the cows and horses. Sunshine Is nature’s greatest disease germ killer and Is a purifier. Such a barn as this will not only be a beautiful addition to any farm building group, but will prove to be a money maker In conserving the health of the animals and the feed that they will need during the winter, when they are indoors.

Artistic Wives.

Geraldine Farrar said at a tea: “Girls who have gone In for the arts, failed and then married as a last resort make poor wives. “I know a girl who married after failing in music. It is reported that her husband said one night in his cups: “ ‘My wife used to play the guitar. Now she —hie—picks on me.’ ”

To Teach Thrift

A specially prepared set of tert books will soon be used in the public schools. These books will build the foundation of thrift and economy which will be carried on through the higher schools, thereby molding the habit of saving into the character of the future men and women of America and, best of all, no one is really too

I have a friend, a professor at Leland Stanford Junior university, who many years ago was a tutor in the house of Hohenzollern. He taught the six lusty sons of the former kaiser to shoot. This friend was telling me not long since that one day when he was instructing young Frederick Hohenzollern, then crown prince, in matters of history, discussion arose between teacher and pupil about the rise and fall of dynasties. “I will be more autocratic than my father when I come to the ftirtme,” declared the youthful crown prince. “Well, your highness,” replied the

EIGHT SEAMEN PERISH

CREW OF BMALL BOAT DIE IN • REBCUE ATTEMPT. Craft-Overturned While Greet Northern'* Men Were Trying to Aid Powhatan Passengers. Halifax, N. S., Jan. 23.— Eight lives were lost when a boat from the United States transport Northern Pacific overturned in an attempt to transfer passengers from the disabled United States transport Powhatan, according to officers of the steamship Bardic, which arrived here.

Officials of the navy department here said they had no record of this message. A wireless message from Captain Randall of the Powhatan said he had started for Halifax in tow of the Canadian government steamer Lady Lauri^r.
