on the same level as the basement
floor of the barn. the basement hav-
ing been cleaned out and a cement
floor put in. The cement floor should
be continuous throughout the barn,
having it level and without obstruc-
tons to hinder in the sweeping.
Sliding doors divide the main barn
from the ell. The COWS stand facing
ten-foot feed alley with a low two
foot manager, in front of them, and
one and one-half foot gutter having
six-inch drop behind them; four and
one-half feet are allowed for the,
length of the platform Between the
gutter and the wall is three and one
half foot space which gives ample
room for cleaning. The walls are
plentifully supplied with large win
dows SO the barn may have quaint
ties of sunlight. The manure pit Is
at the south end of the barn, just to
the west of the large doors at the
east side Of the driveway and connect
ed with the barn by door and a
short alley in a stave silo, with an In
side diameter of 16 feet. and a height
Of Is feet, giving a capacity of 80 tons
which is suffi cient to give us succu-
lent food for 200 days. An overhead
track connects all parts of the barn
SO that either the feed or manure car
can easily do the work.
In the main barn we find five horse
stalls, four calf pens, bull pen and
large storage bin for roots. We also
find a hay-bay connecting with the
upper floor so that all hay for stock
is easily pushed or unloaded into it.
The overhead track comes through
the doors from the ell so that feed
can be easily loaded onto the car. The
grain which is on the second floor
may be loaded by means of shoot.
The horse stalls are supplied with
iron hayracks and grain boxes which

Ironinu Hints,

If a table cloth is very large, it is
better for two people to iron on it, as
it dries out too fast.
Ironing must be done with good
tools and good light to be satisfactory.
Have everything at hand before be-
ginning. Lifting the iron as little as
possible and pressing well.
80 get good gloss on table linen,
the hotter and heavier the iron the
better. Many fine laundresses who
are employed to iron heavy linen, run
it through boiling water. wringing
through the wringer. then iron imme-
diately with hot irons. The linen is
beautifully iTOned and has all the
stiffness required to keep it fresh look
ing.
COlOred clothes should not be
starched, as it fades delicate cOlOrs.
IrOB, when possible, ON the wrong
side, not using too hot an iron. Table
linen, if starched a little, will keep
clean longer and the stains and spots
are easily removed, as the starch pre-
vents them from taking such hold OF
the fabric. Starched linen wears out
more rapidly than unstarched, as the
threads crack in the folds.

connect with the second floor from
which the feeding is done.
On the second floor of the main
barn is a driveway from end to end
with hay-bays on either side. The
grain room is also located on this floor
so the grain may be hauled up, mixed
in the room, from whence it is showed
into the feed car. Between the gralr
room and the east wall is an oper
space in which are the openings foi
the horse managers. Inclined drive
ways at both ends enter the barr
through doors IA feet wide and il
feet high. Above the doors are scar
folds so that all space may be utilized.
The hay is unloaded by means or
horsefork running on a track to all
parts of the lifts. The roof at pres
emit is a square roof, but were | to re-
build | should certainly put on
French roof as the storage capacity
is greatly increased at but a slight
advance in cost.

A combination of a cellar with an
icebouse may be desirable under GER
tain conditions where the cellar is to
be used for cold storage. The plan
shown in the illustration is for build

When packing the ice, place it within
4 inches of the lining of the inner wall

No part of the icehouse is under

FARMERS NAME

CBy C. S. MILLER.l

( >. H.
| am glad to see SO many farmers
naming their places. A name over
the main gateway or on the gatepost
gives a sort of dignity and air Of per
manency to the farm. A farm name
is always a great convenience to trav-
elers because few of our country
roads are named and a farm cannot
easily be located except by name.
know some farmers say it is
silly and sentimental practise but
do not agree with them. do not
think much OF a man who is not
proud enough of his home to give 1t a
distinctive name.
In the south nearly every planta-
ton is named and these names carry
with them something of the true spir-
it Of the love of rural life. If we
give our farms name we will think
more of them and our children will
always associate with the name some
of the pleasantest memories Of their
lives.
