ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS
IN A HUDSON MOTOR CAR

In the early days Of the automobile
s-lany people thought Il was limited In
Iis radius of travel. somewhat in the
Same way as Is the steam car. The steam
car necessarily must have rats TO run
on. II was thought that thu automobile
would require level. hard roads IN order
60 realize Its full efficiency. Owners and
drivers OF old-tlme cars would have
doubted very much that within tho short
space OF q few years they would be able
60 cross mountains and deserts with their
cars and consider II only commonplace.
The development that has taken place
in all mechanical details OF the motor car
was well shown by trip recently made
by party OF tourists over the Sierra
mountains In California. The mountains
were crossed through the Sonora PASS.
which Is Believed TO be the highest pass
IN the Sierra mountains. The altitude is
p.s24 Geet.
After crossing the mountains the party
inotored TO Antelope and Carson valley
returning the same day via the rs. s."
pass at an altitude OF 5000 feet and then
through Angels Camp TO Sonora.
During the Gay the actual distance
Travelled was a5s miles, practically all OF
which was mountain driving. The next
morning the party returned from sonora
TO Stockton. Cal.
The entire distance covered during this
trip was Az miles. Yet. as evidence of
the efficiency OF the modern motor car.
Il IL noted that the Hudson elk required
only two quarts OF water TO completely
fili the radiator. and no water had been
put into u at any time during the trip.
Not single adjustment was made on the

Albert Lang, who is exploring the

tribe of Indians, 1000 miles from civ

Lang gives picturesque description
OF the sayages. who. he says. took
him for god. embracing his feet to
show their devotion. Their tools, he

ideas so unusual as to suggest their

Most of the work is dpne behind the

therefore is much easier to handle in

cows face the light is not as impor-

the sunlight is applied to the man

Is made on a slant so that they can

part OF the stable the floors are made
level and no gutter is needed in back
Of the stalls. Convenient harness clos.
cts are placed in the front part Of the
barn alongside the horse stalls.
Lighting is one of the most impor.
tant things in a barn. Chickens like
to lay eggs where 1t is dark, but dairy
cows do not accomplish much unless
they are given plenty OF light. The
lighting in this barn is we'll taken
care of. There are seven windows
spaced along each side of the barn
and In each end there are two more,
making eighteen windows in all. In adj
dition to contributing to the comfort
of the cows a well-lighted barn is
much pleasanter to work in.
The entrance to the barn for the
animals is through a wide double
sliding door at the front end of the
barn. There is also another double
door at the back through which the
litter carrier goes out to the dump.

ment stable used to mean a bank barn
with the accompanying dampness and
dinginess that is so unhealthful for
any kind of stock. The barn shown
here is dry, well ventilated and warm
and suited to raising the best kind Of
stock. If bank barn is built against
a side hill the hill should be cut away
and the entrance to the threshing
floor maintained by a bridge
Threshing floors are not generally
provided in barns made in the mod
ern way. 1t is waste OF space to
set aside valuable storage room in a
barn when 1t is only to be used for a
few days each year 1t is better to
do the threshing outside and use all
the space in the barn the year round.
The intake fiues for the ventilating
system come into the barn at the top
OF the concrete wall and are dis
charged near the ceiling over the
heads of the stock. The outtake
fiues start in back of the stalls and
are carried up to the ventilators on
the roof. A pure and plentiful supply
OF air is assured by this system.
The feed for the cows and horses
kept in this barn is taken care of by
a feed carrier running on tracks along
each side wall in front of the man
gers. The track also runs along the
back OF the barn so as to connect up
the feed alleys with the silo. The lit.
ter carrier track runs straight through
the center alley through the back door
to the dump or the manure spreader.
A large space is provided for the
storage of hay in the haymow. This
haymow Is unobstructed, as no col.
umns are necessary to support the
roof, which Is of the gambrel type.
The truss framing provides a stiff
and strong support for the roof against
the snow, wind, etc.
