ing. The amount of wall around a
COW stable varies usually with local
conditions. If materials to make con-
crete are comparatively cheap it is
customary to build q concrete wall
eight feet high above grade and to
start the wooden framework at the
ceiling of the COW stable This is a
detail Of construction that must be
known before hand.
Dairy stables are finished carefully
on the inside to make them as smooth
as possible for easy cleaning. Every
year dairymen are raising the stand
ard until competition is becoming very
keen in the furnishing of high grade
milk, to get higher prices. A stable
constructed on this plan has every ad.
vantage, provided the work is care
fully and thoroughly we'll done. All
inside surfaces, including side walls,
ceiling posts, girders, windows. stall
partitions, etc, are required to be
made smooth. In a well-kept stable
all these inside surfaces are gone over
with cleaning mops or brushes at fire.
quent intervals, to remove all dust
and dirt.
The cutters are made with slight
grade, to drain at the most convenient
end Of the building. After the stables
are cleaned the cutters are washed
with water from the hose. The cows
are kept clean and the mixers wear
linen duck uniforms and are required
to keep themselves particularly clean,

and pile up the straw at threshing
time under cover, without the aid of
human stackers.
Many details of construction in con-
nection with this barn are we'll worth
careful consideration. In the first
place the framework is built Of two
Inch stuff. Plank frame construction
is the term applied by carpenters to
this style of building. The first advan-
tage Is that the material may be
bought at any lumber yard, because
only stock lengths are called for. In
the second place, the cost is less
than when the dimension timbers are
ordered, and there Is a saving in the
delay caused by ordering timbers of
special lengths or sizes. The only
heavy timbers in the barn are the
girders, which are supported by col
umns over the COW managers, and these
girders are built by bolting together
two-inch planks, enough Of them to
make the desired size and length.
Sixteen-foot plank works in we'll for
this purpose. The planks are cut in
such way as to bring the abutting
joists four feet apart, SO that always
a girder is three planks thick for a
length Of four feet without a joint,
whole length Of the barn.
The sills and plates are light, but
they are built up In the same manner.
Otherwise the framework is construct
ed on the truss principle, each pair Of
rafters forming truss. This brings
the trusses three feet apart, which in
the average makes very strong roof.
The building is tied together cross
wise by the floor joists. These floor
joists are IL feet in length, butted to-
gether on the girders and the joists
spliced by short extra lengths and well
spiked. The joists also are spiked into
the studding at the sides Of the build
ing, which makes very substantial
tie to receive the end thrust OF the
first set OF roof braces.
The lower rafters are 18 feet in
length and the upper rafters are IL
feet. which gives natural easy angles
to both the upper and lower pitches
of the roof
The cow stable part of the base
ment is very carefully constructed to
make stable that is warm in win
ter, cool in summer and well ventilat-
ed at all seasons. The concrete floor
includes both cutters and both man
gers in one solid monolith concrete
slab which reaches across the stable
from one concrete foundation side
wall to the other. Also there are
heavy concrete supporting piers at in
tervals under the managers to form
bases for the columns which support

The Defense Away back in 1898
of the Upper when the writer was
Delaware editor of the New
Hope News under a
former ownership, and during the
Spanish-American War, he wrote a
series of yarns on "The Defense of
the Upper Delaware" the purport
of which was burlesque conquest
of the river in this vicinity by
Spanish war vessels, and the i'm
aginary defense.
Of course it was not taken seri-
ously as a statement of possible fact,
and possibly viewed less seriously
as work of literary art, but we
are actually beginning to admire it..
Half dozen we'll known publications
are now running stories about the
Conquest of America" in which a
foreign foe invades this country and
snatches it bald-headed" from its
owners, and these writer's state, in
all seriousness, just about the same
line of possibilities, on large scale
as we stated in 1898.
Of course these writers never saw
our own modest efiusions, but the
opera-bouffe of theiryarns is abouton
a par with that which we sprung on
the Coryell's Ferry Community in
1898. Both are fiction.
