Round Dairy Barn.

a 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 1t 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 indes-
tructible, and much stronger than a
box, although the hoops are small,
This strength is because the stress
comes on the hoops in lineal direc-
ton. Any piece of timber is many
times stronger on a lineal pull than
on breaking stress.
All exposed surfaces of round barns
are circular, as both the sides and
roof are arched, which is the strongest
form of construction to resist wind
pressure; besides, the wind in strik-
ing it, glances off and can get no

Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1910-08-11

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 inconvenient, 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 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
hesitate to undertake the work be-
cause in the erection of a round barn
the construction should be entirely
different from that OF the rectangu-
lar form. Many new problems pre-
sent themselves, but when these are
once understood. the round barn of.
fers no more difficulties In construc.
tion than the rectangular form.
The first thing to consider in the
| erection Of n barn is a convenient
arrangement for the purpose for which
IL is to be used.
Considering that the barn on a dairy
farm is used twice every day In the
year. and that for six months each
year the cows occupy It almost CON
tinuously. and that during this time

HIS WELCOME FOR PR0DIGAL

Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the famous
Denver Juvenile court said In the
course Of a recent address In char

"Too many of us are inclined to
think that one misstep made, the boy
is gone for good. Too many of us are
like the cowboy.
"An itinerant preacher preached to
cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal
Son. He described the foolish prodi-
gals extravaganza and dissipation; he
described his penury and his husk-
eating with the swine In the sty; he
described his return, his fathers low
ing welcome. the rejoicing, and the
preparation of the fatted calf.
"The preacher in his discourse no
ticed a cowboy staring at him very
hard. He thought he had made a con-
"srt, and addressing the cowboy per-
sonally, he said from the pulpit:
my dear friend. what would you
have done If you had had a prodigal
son returning home like that2'

most success falls in straight lines
nearly to the foot of the skirt where
1t is confined In various ways. Some
times a band of embroidery gathers
1t in; sometimes 1t is gathered into
several points and fastened to the
skirt with ornaments, or buckles. Most
often 1t falls free in front and is gath
cred to a point at the back where it is
confined by a buckle made of the
same material as the dress.
The center figure shows a gown
embodying the best liked of the sea-
sons new features. This is the in.
lay of a plain broad band of lace or
silk on the material. The top edge is
shaped usually in slanting lines, but
many gowns are finished with plain
broad bands of material, heavier than
that employed in the body of the
dress.
Embroidery in rich and varied col
ors is introduced in nearly all gowns
for state occasions. Bits of Persian
and other Oriental designs in silk add
to the appearance Of intricate design,
ing in these costumes. AS a result
gowns are brilliant.
Chiffon coats in long, clinging lines
are worn over these sparkling crea
tions. The effect is very fine and EN-
phasizes once more the liking for
Oriental splendor in the use of colors

effect Of virtually reducing the
choice ofthe voters of this congress
sional district to three candidates,

lieve that Veatch is in the lead.
Judge Mann has been figured out
of the game ever since his tour of

Braden has never been considered
in the race.
Veatch will run strong in Stew
ems, Ferry, Okanogan, Adams,

counties, and will receive the Sec
ond choice vote of the La Toilette
men.
La Toilette conceded Veatch's
strength when he said: "If Mann

Veatch has tbs strongest endorse

Desperate, a rash Frenchman,
dives from the top of the arena to
the ground, alighting on his bare
chest. Charlie the First, a Chin

and acrobatic act than any man
ever achieved. A company OF fifty
clowns creates incessant laughter.
A member OF the Siegrist-Silbon
family of aerialists, blindfolds his
eyes and leaps across the entire
width OF the arena, turns a double
eomersault on the way and catches
the wrists of a comrade who hangs
head down from flying swing.
The Abreu family of Mexican gym
nasts introduce a great novelty act.
Berzac's horses present an amusing
play. the scene OF which is laid in
inn. One horse plays landlord and
another is the town constable. The
other horses make very amusing
boarders. Paula Peters, monkey
and dog circus holds the attention
of the audience for half an hour. A
