comes to a farmer starting out with such barn
he has only to erect sheds on either side OF the
main structure to be enabled to increase the
capacity of the structure to Id head OF stock OF

For the sum of $3.50 1t is figured that farmer
can erect barn 37x34 feet in size with height OF
l2 feet the caves and about 80 feet at the peak
The first floor plan of such barn provides for Tour

will accommodate from 20 to 25 tons OF hay and
there is granary about seven by eight feet In size

Many farmers all the country yet have a
strong liking for what is known as the bank barn.
where the structure is to be erected the side of

this type of barn, but the experts of the United
States department of agriculture declare that the
Objectionable features be guarded against In
. construction The principal objection always ad-
vanced is that bank barn necessitates basement
stable which 1t is claimed by some persons is al
most certain to prove dark. damp, and unhealthful.
Experts claim however. that If there be selected

there will be ample ventilation and abund

north will protect the stabling from the cold. In
storing forage in this type of barn the teams can
be driven In the main floor without climbing a
steep ascent, and hay and fodder put away the
same floor with minimum Of labor.
The wealthy propriotors of many of the luxurious
estates which have been erected in the United
States in increasing numbers of late years have
erected barns and stables that have in many in
stances cost thousands of dollars each. AS rule

even stronger inclination than in the country
districts to erect concrete stables The approved

Avenue Theatre Presents
"Alias Jimmy Valentine"
With Roles Taken by
Many New Stock
Players.

Seats at the Avenue Theatre for this
weeks engagement Of Paul Arm
strong's successful play, alias Jim
my Valentine" are selling we'll and
brilliant opening is predicted for the
stock players.
In this remarkable play which has
been running two years in New York,
the leading character is a profession-
al safe-breaker, who has trained his
nnger tips to such a degree of sensi-
tiyeness, that he can detect the fall
of the levers in sale or vault by his
sense Of touch, thus being able to open
1t regardless of his ignorance of the
combinations. The first act finds this
trained criminal in Sing Sing prison,
where a fortunate train Of circum-
stances wins for him the guberna-
torial pardon, and, also, puts him on
the straight road to reform. Thanks
to the kindness Of influential friends,
whom he has been able to benefit,
this former bank-looter is given a
responsible position in a national
bank. There, by honest and efficient
service he soon works his way near
the top of the ladder, when a child,
having been accidently shut in new
vault, the combination Of which has
not yet been determined, he is forced
to choose between saving a life or
preserving his secret.

DAY FOR FARMERS BOYS.

~ HE authorities of Delaware College are do
4 ing their part to keep interest alive in the
agricultural development of the state. A farmers
boy day will be held at the state farm Newark on
September %. The purpose of the day it is an
nounced is TO bring young men TO the farm to show
them what is being done to promote an interest
in agriculture, the basic industry OF the state
1t is an opportunity that should be taken advan-
tage of by the young men engaged in farming, or
who expect to be engaged.
The Horticultural Department is mentioned as
one of the special attractions This department
has about thirty-hve acres on which are growing
495 varieties of fruit This exhibit should inter-
est not only the boys, but also their elders.
There are plenty of things we'll worth seeing at
the state farm, but how many of our farmers
their sons especially in the lower counties real
y know what is being done at the state farm ?
If they don't know they should find out for it is
believed that Delaware is about TO enter upon an
agricultural development OF much Importance.
Certainly it will do so when our advantages are
fully appreciated. The farm at Delaware College
should lead the way and it is doing so
