In some sections farmers prefer wood.

stall partitions. In other sections
they are made of wood to save
expense. While iron stalls look neat
and trim and add more to the appear.
ance and real value of the barn, they
are not considered absolutely neces
sary.
One of the most interesting features
about the construction of this barn is
the way in which the large hay doors
are constructed. These doors are 10
feet In width and 12 feet in height.
They slide up and down in iron
grooves, so there is no swelling Of the
tracks to bother in wet weather. The
doors are hung by counterbalance
weights on y inch ropes that play
over grooved pulleys near the top.
These weights run up and down in
boxes built the same as window
frames, so there is nothing to inter.
fere with their action. The advan.
tage is that the doors may be left part.
ly open or pulled all the way down,
and they will stay in any position, re-
gardless of the way the wind blows.
When the big NOV is being filled
with hay it is great satisfaction to
leave these doors wide open so that
the air can circulate through freely
from one end of the NOV to the other.
The doorway is big enough to admit
large horse forkloads of hay without
dislodging part of the load trying to
pull it through. This feature will be
appreciated by the farmers who have
with hay doors built on the
order.
Another interesting feature about

in construction because 12-foot joists
may be butted together on top of the
girders and spliced to tie the building
together firmly erosswise.
A good solid concrete floor is laid
in both horse department and COW
stable. The floor differs, in being
level across in the horse stable, while
the usual managers and cutters are
nodded into the floor in the COW sta
BILE end of the barn.
The ceiling is placed to give 8 feet
Of headroom in both stables over

the standing floor above the cutters.
