The side walls are built of stone or

balance Of the walls being frame.
The end walls are constructed Of
stone or concrete up to the ceiling.

This is considered strong point in

The posts carrying the upper floor
are by inches, the girders 10 by

is used the ioists may be spread "a
inches between centers, but if hem
lock is used the distance should be

One Of the weakest points in barn
construction is the small amount Of
window space usually allowed The
space in the plan provides approx
mately six square feet for each COW.
The windows are sliding sash, max
ing them nearly twice as high as
they are wide. This arrangement
will admit much more light than the

error is 10 make the windows too low.

BREEDING UP BARLEY
Treat tise by Prof. n. A. Moore,
University OF Wisconsin.

We at the Wisconsin experiment.
station have been at work for nine
years breeding up barley. We are
trying to get two or three good yari-
cites that can take the place of the so
or 70 varieties that are now being
grown in the state We want to get
variety or a few varieties that will
give much larger yields than the
average of those now being grown,
and / believe that we have already Sc
cured these varieties
We are carrying on this work in
cooperation with the United Stares
department of agriculture. It began
in Wisconsin. but soon got beyond
our borders and has now been taken
up by the United States government.
One of the things that we are working
on is to get a barley that will be
rust proof. The loss from rust in
the United States is very large. In
Wisconsin last year rust destroyed
seven per cent Of our barley, and this
means loss to the farmers Of tho
state OF about a quarter of a million
OF dollars. We are also trying vari-
GUS things to destroy the rust on the
heads OF barley. We used the for
maldehyde treatment for some years.
but did not find it entirely satisfac-
tory, though 1t Is very valuable. It
kills the covered smut but not the
loose smut. But we have now found
something that SENS to kill the loose
smut, and that is a modification Of
the Swingle method. That method
as modified by US is: Soaking in cold
water for 12 hours. and then submerg-
ing the barley in hot water (130 de-
grees) for ten minutes. That kills
the germs. The fields on which that
kind Of barley was sown showed re-
markable results In the way Of barley
free from smut.
We propose now to put this treat.
ment into the hands os the members
Of the experiment station association,
which now numbers 72T members.
These men are largely the seed grow.

one Of the United States representa-
tives in Germany heard Of the scheme
and reported on 1t. This attracted
general attention in this country, and
the supply Of government pamphlets
was soon exhausted.
The system is based on the fact that
a perfectly insulated vessel containing
meat or vegetables and proper sup
ply OF water will continue to cook for
long while after once having been
brought to the boiling point. The
operation proceeds just the same as If
1t were directly over the fire, except
that it is much slower.
This apparatus was known as the
hay box in Germany. and consisted Of
a crudely constructed box, which was
insulated In that it was lined with
some cloth or other material which
happened. to be convenient and then
filled with hay. The article to be cook
ed was placed over a fire for a short
time, minute or two. and then quick
ly transferred to the hay box. where
1t was placed in a sort Of a pocket
made In the hay. Here the cooking
continued slowly without any further
application of heat or any attention.
The subject was called to the atten-
tion Of President Roosevelt who di-
rected that the. hay box be experiment.

fed it continually for one year. They
exhibited it as calf, a yearling, a
two-year-old and three-year-old.
They found that the dfst year the
animal fed in that way required about
half as much to produce a pound Of
increase as in the second year of
that animals life.
Then the experiment stations in
vestigated the matter The Michigan
experiment station, the Iowa ex.
pertinent station and one or two
other stations undertook what were
called in those ancient days breed
experiments" They undertook to
test which was the better animal to
feed, the Shorthorn, the Hereford, the
Aberdeen-Angus, the Galloway, the
Holstein or Jersey and they began
with these animals as young as pos
slble, Ia most Of these experiments,
beginning with the animal say few
months old, and they discovered the
same thing, that II an animal was fed
from birth to death on full feed that
the first days--the young days of that
animal--were the most prohtatl 10 days.

proximately 10 by 10 feet, which is
considered ample size for this pur-
pose. There is a full window in each
stall, providing an abundance Of light.
The feed room is centrally located;
chute from the silo enters into 1t,
also two grain chutes from the upper
floor. The feed room is large enough
for storagc of trucks necessary to
carry grain and siIage. A hay chute
from the loft above deposits the hay
In the feeding alley.
No dairy barn is complete without
wash room for the mixers and barn
attendants, and lockers for their
clothes 1t should also contain a
small boiler for providing hot water
and steam, as this is a necessary part
of the equipment of a modern barn.
Milk scales, record sheets, milk
stools, etc, may also be kept here.
Watering devices may be put in at
the option of the builder and are
necessary feature Of a modern dairy
barn.
A silo is provided in the plan at
convenient location for feeding the
silage. The silo planned for this barn
is 16 feet in diameter and 2S feet
high, and has capacity Of about 10
tons. This will provide silage for "a
animals for six to eight months.
