The plan shown in the accompany
Ing figure is for a barn 36x60 feet. II
will accommodate IA horses. By In
creasing the length twelve feet It Will
accommodate eighteen head. II has
two feed rooms. safe and conven-
lent place for harness, two box stalls
and twelve open stalls.
The barn may be sided with l6-foot
stock boards with battens or with
shiplap. By making the caves higher
than IS feet there will be more room
for hay, but barn OF the dimensions
given Will contain all the hay required,
as It will hold about forty tons, In
stead of chutes or the regular man
gers to feed hay there is a feedway
three feet wide, with perpendicular
sides three feet high from the floor OF
the stalls, and It is floored on a level
with the top OF the sill. A feedway
like this is better than hangers or
chutes. as Il allows man to pass
along the entire length OF the barn in
front OF the horses when feeding;
there is absolutely no waste of hay,
as the horses stand with their heads
over the hay while eating and do not
pull It out and drop It under their feet,
and the chaff is not constantly falling
down in their eyes. as when a manger
is used that feeds from above.
The feed rooms are situated on each
side Of the driveway and are each d.
vided into two compartments and an
entry 80 as to allow variety OF feed
TO be kept and to be easy OF access.
The barn should be lighted with ten
windows on each side, two to each
box stall. two to each feed room and
one In front OF each single stall. Com
mon barn sash should be used. having
six Sx10inch panes to each sash. a
single sash TO each window, with the

WILLOW TREE ON THE FARM
Rapid Growth and Hardness Makes
II Almost Invaluable on Prairie
Lands Of West.
By f. C. cHEYNEYJ

ttSN II. u. If.D1 NELL
The rapid growth and hardness OF
the willow makes II almost invaluable
on the prairie. It is not always a
thing of beauty, and It has the objec-
tionable feature of shedding its small
er branches-especially when the tree
gets old-and making litter on the
ground. However, the prairie farmer
usually wants protection first, and can
afford to wait awhile for the beauty.
The willow is about the only tree
which can give him that desired pro-
lection in a short time.
The first planting of willows should
usually be made in the form of a
wind break To obtain the best re-
suits, two rows of cuttings should be
planted, about eight feet apart and
one foot apart in rows This
makes the plants closely crowded In
the rows, with plenty Of room between
the rows to cultivate; and for the first
two or three years they should be cul-
tivated as regularly as corn. The full
sunlight from the sides causes them
to spread sideways, with many
branches from the ground up. They
soon form an impenetrable hedge.
