Round Dairy Barn.

large amount of the labor of the
farm is done inside the barn, it is
evident that the question of its con-
venience is a vital one.
The circular construction is the
strongest. because it takes advantage
of the lineal, instead of the break
ing strength of the lumber. Each
row of boards running around the
barn forms a hoop that holds the
barn together. A barrel, properly
hoped and headed, is almost hides
tructible, and much stronger than a
box, although the hoops are small,
This strength is because the stress
comes on the hoops in a lineal dIrec-
ton. Any piece of timber is many
on breaking stress.
All exposed surfaces of round barns
are circular, as both the sides and
roof are arched, which is the stronges'
form of construction to resist wind
pressure; besides, the wind in strik-
ing it, glances off and can get no
direct hold on the walls or roof. as
it can on the fiat sides or gable ends
of a rectangular structure. If the

lumber is properly placed in a round
barn, much of it will perform two
or more functions. Every row of
siding boards running around the
building serves also as a brace. and
the same is true of the roof boards
and the arched rafters. If the siding
is put on vertically and the roof built
dome shaped, no scaffolding is re-
quired inside or out. These are points
of great economy in the round con
struction.

Immense Savinq Possible.

In a preliminary bulletin on the
cost of maintaining a tuberculosis
sanatorium, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of tn
berculosis announces that the average
cost per patient per day in thirty
semi-charitable sanatoria scattered in
all parts of the United States is
$1G69 These institutions represent
an annual expenditure of over $780,
600 and over $4,000 days of treat
ment given each year. The bulletin,
which is part of an extensive study
the National association is making for
its bureau of information, points out
that the country could save annually
at least $1500OO,0O0 if the INDECENT
consumptives were properly segre-
gated.

The preacher in his discourse no
ticed a cowboy staring at him very

In the early days when lumber was
cheap, buildings were built of logs,
or at least had heavy frames. Under
these conditions the rectangular barn
was the one naturally used, and peo-
pie have followed in the footsteps of
their forefathers in continuing this
form of barn. The result is that the
economy and advantages of the round
barn have apparently never been con
sidered. This is because they are not
obvious at first sight, and become
fully apparent only after a detailed
study of the construction. For these
reasons, the rectangular form still
continues to be built, although it re-
Quires much more lumber. AS the
price of lumber has advanced so mate
rally in recent years, the possible
saving in this material is large item.
and well worth investigating.
The difficulty with most round barns
that have been built, thus far, is that
they do not have a self-supporting
roof and consequently lost many of
the advantages of a properly con-
structed round barn. This is the prin-
cipal reason why round barns have
not become more popular. A straight
roof necessarily requires many sup
ports in the barn below. These are
both costly and announcement. and
make the roof no stronger than a
dome-shaped, self-supporting roof
which nearly doubles the capacity of
the NOV.
Many who have thus disregarded
capacity have also wasted lumber and
made a needless amount of work by
chopping or hewing out the sill and
plate, thus requiring more labor and
lumber, besides sacrificing the great
er strength OF built-up sill
Another reason for the scarcity of
round barns is the difficulty in get
ting them built Most carpenters
hesitate to undertake the work be

lar form. Many new problems pre-
