He hasn't any call to apologize for

He has a perfect right to make 'em

Mr.. Somebody Else has the plain right

The one barn which | banker after
and should surely try to actualize, If I
were going to build new one, would
be what I have heard called a gravity
barn. That is, it should be built in
such way that everything in it would
be handled downward instead of
pitched upward. The hay and grain
should be unloaded into it from above.
they should be passed down to the cat
tie instead of forked up to them, the
manure should be pushed down into

That same barn was standing a few
years ago: 1 don't know whether it is
today or not.
So you see the round dairy barn
isn't quite a new thing. Perhaps the
wagon bow barn roof isn't new eth
er. You remember Solomon's remark:
lis there a thing whereof men say,
See, this is new? 1t hath been already,
in the ages which were before us, and
there is no new thing under the SUM-

THE BOW BARN, RoUND-BARN AND OTHER
BARNS

barns out of-About 80 years ago, q nuI-
ricane which swept through the valley
picked the building up bodily, turned
it half round, and set it down in a new
place about hundred feet from the
old foundations, without causing any
more damage to it than the cracking OF
one unimportant beam: Inc easy
going farmer who owned it at the time
simply spiked a board across this
crack, pried up the corners to level
and rolled some boulders under them,
and there it stands today. SO far as
the frame is concerned, it is every WHIT
as good and solid as when it was
built.
But every generation of farmers
which has succeeded to it has changed
it's interior to suit that generations
ideas of convenience. 1 think, as II
stands, any modern farmer, looking II
the very worst arranged and most m
convenient barn he ever saw.
And I wouldn't dispute him.
But I've got used to the old contrap-
ton, don't expect to have to use any
barn very many years longer. and
should actually be sorry to substitute
better building for it.
Barns are very much like breeehes,
after all: they must be made to fit
the owner or they won't prove very
satisfactory,
| read in one western farm journal
that 1.-The round barn, economical OF
wall. considering the shelter and stor-
age space afforded, is becoming more
and more popular in many dairying
regions
Round barns, Ell? Something new,
again? Well. not so very new, after
all.
In "Barber's Massachusetts, Histori-
cal Collections published at Worces-
ter, Mass, in 1889. is a cut of the
Shaker Village at Hancock. I quote
from the descriptions:
1.-The circular stone barn seen in the
engraving wes built in 1926, and is
something of a curiosity. 1t is 270 feet
in compass, with walls laid in lime,
rising 81 feet above the underpinning,
and from two and a half to three and a
half feet in thickness. The mast and
rafters are So feet in length, and united
together at the top. On the lower
floor, Immediately within the walls, are
stables eight feet high, occupying
twelve feet in length with the manger,
which is inWards and into which con-
venient places are left for throwing
hay and feed from above. In these sta
bles, which open to and from several
yards, a span of horses and So horned
cattle may be stabbed. The covering
of the stables forms the barn floor, on
to which from an offset there is not
one large doorway for teams which
make the circuit of the floor and pass
out at the same place. Eight or ten
can occupy the floor at the same time;
and the hay is thrown into the large
area in the CENTER
And now listen to this:-'For sim
ply laying the stone of this building
the 1nasons were paid 500 dollars and
boarded
That seems to have been regarded as
a whacking big lot of money to put
into a barn, in 1926.
I wonder how much of a wall twenty
one feet high and three feet thick the
masons would lay for 800 dollars and
board, these days?
