little boys, Hans and Oscar. loved
very much
What shall we do?" cried Mother
Burton. I'VE shall starve, and poor
Nancy. we never shall see her again.
After breakfast Hans and Oscar
talked 1t over themselves and de-
cided to try to find Nancy. They told
their mother they were going to hunt
for Nancy. and they wanted some
lunch. as they might not be back that
night. Mother Burton told them 1t
was useless to hunt anywhere but on
the mountain where the giant lived.
and they could not go there. and If
they ever did reach the top the giant
might keep them, but as they never
had heard of the giant taking chill
dren. they started for the mountain.
They climbed all the morning. and
at noon sat down to eat their lunch
con under tree. A little old man
came along, and they gave him some
of their food and told him what their
errand was. He told them that he
knew about the wickedness OF the
giant, and would help them little. He
had staff in his hand. which he gave
to Oscar and Hans and told them it
would help them up the mountain He
also told them that if they could get
the big belt which the giant wore he
would lose his power and become as
small as an ordinary man. and do no
more harm. The boys thanked him
and started OH their journey
Hans had the staff, and soon he
was well up the mountain, and poor
Oscar was far behind, so Hans waited
for his brother to come up to him; ;
/ then Oscar took the staff, and in few
minutes he was far ahead He waited
for Hans. and they decided it must
| be the staff. SO they both took hold
of it. and sure enough they moved up
! the mountain at a rapid rate, for the
little old man had given them magic
staff.
Soon they were on the top OF the
mountain. and they could see the
giants feet sticking out of a cave.
Shall we 60 closer?" asked Hans
of course" said Oscar. What
did we come ioro There is old Nancy
over by that tree"
Nancy saw them and neighed and
called to them in horse language They
had just rea ached her when the giant
awoke He stood up and took one
step which brought him beside the
boys.
What are you doing here. you lit.
tie scamps?" he roared
If you would sit down. we could
tell you; you are SO tall we cannot
see your face, and we want to talk
to you"

In diameter. which gives capacity for
holding about 160 tons of silage. AS
the roof OF the barn reaches well up
toward the top of-the silo there is
domelike space which provides con-
siderable NOW room above the stable.
This large NOW is filled at haying
time by means of circular track
which is suspended from the upper
tier Of rafters.
The hay track car is SO arranged that
it runs half way around from the hay
door, running in either direction ac-
cording to the way the switch is
turned. The hay car is propelled by
draft rope which runs over pulleys
when taut.
When the load Is dumped the slack
rope is then supported by rollers
which prevents it from becoming tan
gled or dropping to the hay below.
The foundation of this barn is Of
concrete made by first excavating for
the foundation walls and piers to get
solid earth to prevent settling. The
grading is then done for the floor,
making the horse-stable floor level
but the ground for the constable floor
is sloped away to drain properly into
the cutters. This work is better done
with water to settle the earth so it
will pack all solid together to give
an even support to all parts of the
floor.
The plan of the stable shows iron
stall partitions between the COW stalls
and wooden partitions between the
horse stalls This distinction is not
necessary, but it is customary.
Being q round barn with the silo
in the center, there is round feed
ing alley built around the silo. Next
to the feeding alley is a circular ce-
ment manger which ext ends half way
around, for the cows, and wooden
nanger built on the same circle on
the horse side
Both the COWS and Lorses face in
toward the center, SO the feeding is
easily and quickly done from the cen
Ger feeding alley.
Si!age is let down through a silage
shute; also hay and straw are put
down through the same shute. and
both are distributed to the managers
by a teed carrier truck mounted on
heavy truck casters.
There are doors on two sides OF
the harn. one OF which is intended as
stock door to let the cattle and
horses in o. out: the other is wide
driveway door used when cleaning the
stable: also at silo-iilling time.

vides plenty of space at the rear for
attending to the cows and for renov
ing the manure.
At the silo-filling time the slage cut
ter is set in close to the silo in the
wide entrance part of the driveway
SO that the blower pipe stands verti
cal in the usual way.
There is either an extension carrier
to bring corn sheaves in through the
driveway to the cutter. or a rope and
pulley is arranged to pull the loaded
wagon in backwards.
The stable in this barn is thorough.
ly sanitary. The walls are built double
and are made alright by using build
ing paper and matched ceiling boards
without beading. Beading is objec.
tionable because it makes just SO
many more cracks to harbor bac
terra.
The floor over the stable is made
Of dressed and matched flooring, so
that no dust from the NOW overhead
can sift through to clog the space be
tween the joists.
Ventilation is provided by taking
cold air from outside through spe.
cially constructed air f,ues which dis.
tribute it near the ceiling of the
stable. The foul air is removed by
means of ventilating fues having out
take openings near the floor behind
the cows and horses. The foul air is
carried up through these flues, chin
neylike. and is discharged above the
roof.

he became serious again. But he would
not let Nancy go. and told them he
thought he should keep them also;

Not very we'll. but we can sing"
said Hans. who had been struck with
happy thought.
well, sing then" said the giant
The boys sang funny song. and the
old giant laughed so hard that he
rolled off the tree onto the ground.
| Then the boys began singing soft, low
songs The giant pulled a big stone
under his head and listened. Soon his
eyes began to close, and after a while
he was fast asleep
Hans stopped singing. but told his
brother to keep on while he crept
over to the giant and very gently un-
fastened the belt he wore Then he
| brought Nancy to where Oscar was
still singing. and they both mounted.
Hans told Oscar to hold the staff in
both hands while he held the belt.

to bury the belt In the ground when

The sun was just setting when they
rode into the yard. but they told their
father and mother about the belt, and
Father Burton said they must bury It
at once. which they did and in the
morning they went to the mountain
and recovered all the supplies which
had been lost.
That night, after Oscar and Hans
were III bed, Oscar said: Il should

RUDOLPH GETS NEW
 GENEM0T0R STARTER
First Starting Motor of General Glec- tric Shop to be Sold by Ford
 Agent; Is a Wonder

The Genemotor, the first electric auto starting motor ever built by the General Electric company, has put in it's appearance in Phoenix as a re- suit of the conference between Edward Rudolph Ford agent and Dick Hol- lingsWorth, the Chanslor-L Lyon repre- sentative, last week
 Not since the electric motor was applied to the engine of the automo bile, has such an efficient starter been designed, according to Rudolph who will begin shortly to equip lots of Fords with the Genemotor. Where all previous Ford starters have been rated at 712 horsepower or less. the Genemotor tests 10. the hiAest ef- ficiency of any starting motor, figur- ed on the basis of weight and size.

AUTO IS ECONOMICAL NECESSITY NOWADAYS

During 1914 Franklin sales in creased to point where they now head the list of cars for 5000 and over.
 A study of automobile sales made during the winter months indicates that the automobile has definitely found its place in the affairs of the men and women of every class who are striving to accomplish things in the most economical and efficient way They realize that the time has come when the motor car is no long CT seasonal luxury but rather a Dependable necessity for use in all ~eathers and over all roads.
 Data from the sales records of the Franklin Automobile company. Syra cuse, \. Y. will substantiate this statement, for it shows most posi- lively that the arrival of cold weath- . CT and snow have had no effect on the number of cars disposed of even l1 sections where the winters are most severe. It is a surprising fact that Franklin dealers in Boston and - curing December, the same number sold in Los Angeles and San Fran cisco where of course weather con ditlons ale practically uniform the year around In New York state also. the winter time has ordinarily been considered slow period for the automobile business, yet in Syra :
