William Douglass, manager Of
Thornybrook, strobe to the telephone
and rang three times. A lovely
voice. with little yawn In 1t, an
swered.
May ! see you a few moments,
Miss Amer" queried Douglass. Its
a matter Of Importance"
Yes. William" returned the lovely
voice. Come right over"
Anne Thornton, owner Of Thorny-
brook, awaited the manager In a
sun-fooded room in the handsome
old house. Miss Thornton was good
to look upon. In ruffled. trailing
morning gown. and with dewy eyes
that looked forth contentedly on a
pleasant world, she was ravishing.
Or so thought William Douglass,
anyway. William was in love with
his employer.
His homely, trustworthy face was
pale and his eyes were dark-dinged.
He had not slept much for two
nights trying to decide on Just what
he was going to say. Now he found
his speech curiously hard to deliver.
Miss Anne" he began.
YES" encouraged Miss Anne, in
a tone of voice she reserved for
Douglass alone.
Il am going-I have decided-that
is. we-you have a chance to buy some
more stock of the Du Quoin National
bank"
We'll, what do you think Of it?"
1T is a good buy" William, on
familiar ground. was not embarrassed
now. THE banks well managed and
is making money"
Then buy 1t. William. You know /

way"
The unhappy William perspired.

Am cutters are drained to this manur,

All cutters are drained to this manure
pit.
The exterior and interior are GOV.
cred with matched sheathing, which
Is stripped with 1x2-inch strips. The
strips are In turn covered with metal
lath, and the lath covered with two
coats Of portland cement. All cell
ings are treated In the same manner,
except the sheathing Is not used.
The roof is covered with the best
grade of asbestos felt roofing, which
makes 1t practically a fireproof barn.
The foundation is of native limestone,
for the reason that stone can be Sc
cured on the farm at a very slight
cost.
The silos, set on cement pits four
feet deep, are built with 2x4-inch
studs, set IL inches on centers; xx6-
inch wooden hoops are bent around
the outside, and are doubled, one be-
tween each door and one In the GEN.
ter of each door. The doors are 24x30
inches square, with 12inch spaces be-
tween. The hoops are covered with
1x2-inch strips. and treated In the
same manner as the walls of the barn.
The inside walls of the 'silos are lined
with hard-burned paving brick laid In
a thin cement.
All floors Of the barn are of cement.
with wood Stats for the horses. The
horses have cast-iron cutters, but the
cows have both the cutters and the
hangers made of cement, and the
managers so arranged that they may
be flooded with water. The floors are
all trapped with drain traps, and the
entire barn may be washed with .
hose In a short time. The horses are
watered at the cement trough located
north of the east feed room, and the
hogs and sheep are watered with q
hose. The barn loft Is supported on
three-inch gas pipe, and all COW stalls
are of wood, with wire guards on top.
This barn Is doubtless too large for
many of us, but there are many things
to be learned from it.
