Did you ever hear of the giant who
lived ON the top of great high noun
tain? He slept all day, and at night he
would go into the valley and walk over
houses. He could step over house
easily. Sometimes he would strike it
with his club and make it rock, and
the people would say, How hard the
wind blows" Then he would strike
the rocks and make sparks fly, and
they would call it lightning. His laugh
was like thunder, and when he sneezed
or whistled they called it a tornado.
Son1etimes he would drink all the
water in the wells, and the people
would say, What terrible drought"
And when he carried off COW and

Oscar did the talking, SO he told

She will not be very tender re-

was almost crying at the thought or
poor Nancy's fate.
"Oh, that viii not bother me-" said
the giant; look at my teeth" He
opened his mouth, and the boys moved
| away, for it was large enough to swal-
low them whole, and his teeth looked
| like big stones
He laughed when he saw the boys
were frightened, and it shook the
| mountains; the boys were glad when
he became serious again. But he would
not let Nancy go, and told them he
thought he should keep them also;
they were SO small he liked to look at
them, and it made him seem so very
large. The boys were quite fright
ened, and Hans, who had remained
silent till then, said, IF you don't let
us go home in few days we win stay
and work for you"
What can you do?" said the giant.
We can try to do anything you.
ask US, replied Hans.
We'll, amuse me, then. Can you
dancer"
Not very well, 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 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 I'M
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.
Nancy trotted away with the boys, but
soon she seemed to be flying so fast
did they go, and almost before they
knew it they were at the foot Of the
mountain, and there the little old man
was waiting for them They returned
his staff, and thanked him very much
for lending it to them. He told them
to bury the belt in the ground when
they reached home
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 in bed, Oscar said: Il should
like very much to have seen the old
giant when he awoke and found he
was only as large as an ordinary man.
YES said Hans. But am glad
I am at home"

in diameter, which gives capacity for
holding about 100 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 a 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
a 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 round barn with the silo
in the center, there is round feed
ing alley built around the silo. Next
| to the feeding alley is circular ce-
| ment manager which extends half way
around, for the cows, and wooden
| manger built on the same circle on
the horse side.
Both the cows and horses face in
toward ne center. so the feeding is
easily and quickly done from the cen
ter feeding alley.
Silage is let down through a silage
shute: also hay and straw are put
down through the same shute, and
both are distributed to the hangers
by feed carrisr truck mounted on
heavy truck castsrs.
There are doors 1on two SIDES of
the barn, one OF which is intended as
a stock door to let the cattle and
horses liz or out; the other is wide

stable; also at silo-filling time.

for Economy.
SlLo PLACED IN THE CENTER
Designed So That the Cows and
Horses Face In, Which Is an Ad-

Utilized to the Best Pos

BY WILLIAM a. RApFoRp.

Mr. william A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building work on the farm, for
the readers of this paper. On account of
his wide experience as Editor, Author and
highest authority on all these subjects.
Address all inquiries to William A. Rad
ford. No 1927 Prairie avenue, Chicago,
ILL.,, and only inclose two-cent stamp for
reply.
Round barns for live stock are grow
ing in popularity because of the ease
of doing work in them.
There is another economy that will
be appreciated when we learn how
to build easier; that is, the increased
capacity as compared with a rectangu-
lar barn requiring the same amount
OF material
The round barn shown ins the Illus
tration is built around a 14-foot silo,
which really is a plan for building
one cylinder inside of another.
The cylinder is the strongest form
in which material can be put togeth-
er in building construction.
In this building the silo supports
the barn and the barn supports the
silo. One is part of the other, and
either would be incomplete alone.
The silo is Al feet deep by IA feet

feed is brought to the center and the
manure is distributed from the out
side.
Straw is kept bright by housing it
overhead at threshing time and it is
made useful at feeding time by per-
hitting the cows to pick it over in
the managers between feeds of silage
and clover hay. The mussed-over
straw is then passed back to the stalls
tor bedding, and as 1t gradually
works farther back it absorbs liquid
manure, is carried out in the manure
carriers, dumped into a manure
spreader and hauled at once to the
field. This shows the practicability Of
this kind of round barn to save labor
and utilize feed end bedding to the
best possible advantage
The farm stable should be consid-
cred in the light of manufacturing
establishment Manufacturers in cit
les arrange their factories to admit
raw material at one end and to ship
the finished product from the other
end.
Good practice requires that the diff
ferent processes of manufacture shall
follow each ether in systematic CO.
der. Once started, a charge of raw
material advances at every step; it
is never permitted to go backward
When farmers arrange their business
so that each step counts, instead of
turning back and walking around in
circles, then farmers become business
men in the best sense of the term.
Another advantage of building COW
stalls in circle is the fact that cat
tie, and especially dairy cows, are
wedge shaped.
The most convenient stalls are
wider behind than they are in front,
and they fit the cows better The
work among dairy cows is done at the
rear of the stalls. In using milking
machines considerable room is needed.
The use of milking machines is one
reason for placing the windows in the
rear of the cows, so that the light is
admitted where it is most needed.
No other shape of barn offers SO
many advantages for the same amount
of square foot area. There is quick,
easy means of feeding in the center
where little room is required; It pro-

There is either an extension carrier

wagon in backwards.
The stable in this barn is thorough.

Nancy, we never shall see her again.
After breakfast Hans and Oscar
talked it 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 it
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 como up to him;
then Oscar took the staff, and in few
minutes he was far ahead. IIe 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 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 cave.
Shall we 60 closer?" asked Hans
.'Of course, said Oscar. What
did we come for? There is old Nancy

had just reached 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

If you would sit down, we could
tell you; you are so tall we cannot
see your face, and we want to talk

"Oh, you do?" said the giant what

and finger and drop you off the noun

but that would not do you any
good" said Oscar, "and it would kill
me. Will you please come down near

The giant walked around and made
roaring noise, but the boys stood
still, although their hearts were beat
ing fast. The giant pulled up a tree
and threw it on the ground. and seated
himself upon it.
