wsI-construetsd Barn Adapted to General Farm Use

There should be developed a gen.
eral style of architecture which could
in the main be adapted to the differ
ent farm buildings. 1t should straight
forwardly meet the needs to be served
and should be dignified and pleasing
in form and line. The material to be
used will react upon the style in no
small degree. for it is evident that a
stone or concrete structure is func-
tionally different from one built of
wood.
With regard to the barn, the needs
are not fixed, but widely varying. In
certain forms of farming, it may exist
chiefly for storage, while in other
cases it may serve mainly for hous-
ing the animals. Whatever its needs,
it should look the part of the barn,
and not that of country school or
church. 1t should be proportioned
and fitted to meet the internal needs
for which it is built.
Since the barn and the house are
the nucleuses of the farm group, it Is
well at this point to consider briefly
the arrangement of farm buildings. Ger
tainly the part of architecture is not
fulfilled when given building is de-
signed. Its relation to other buildings
both existing and future should be q
concern. Usually there is an absence
of any logical relationship between
the different buildings of the farm.
They have been dropped down here
and there, as it were, the house here
the barn there, shop in one place
and shed in another. Indeed of all
this there should be careful group
ing. There will be decided advantages
in convenience, in economy of con
struction, and in protection. The
esthetic possibilities will be much
greater and from the very nature oil
things, the unattractive features will
protrude less prominently and will be
| much easier of concealment.

FEAR TABOO is CONTAGIOUS
So Eddystone Islanders Ascribe Their
Ills to the charm-How "cure"
Is Made.

Many interesting facts with regard
to the practice of leechcraft and sor-
Gerry, the imposition and removal Of
taboo, and the belief in the infiiction
and cure of disease by rites among
the natives of Melanesia were related
recently by DR.. w. H. r. Rivers in the
second Fitzpatrick lecture on "Medi-
cine, Magic and Religion" at the Royal
College of Physicians. says the Lon
don Times.
In Eddystone islands, where Doctor
Rivers spent several months some
years ago, nearly every disease Is
ascribed to the infraction Of taboo
ON the fruit of certain trees, espe-
cially the cocoanut and betel vine, the
taboo as well as the sign by which
1t is known being called KENO.
When anyone suffers from epilepsy
or other conclusive seizure which is
recognized as kirengge he and his
friends consult one known to have
the power Of imposing the KENO kir-
engge. This man visits the patient
and strokes him from the head
downwards with four leaves called
myou, some moss, SCOT, and scrap
ings of wood, uttering the formula:
Stroke away. Stroke down and
away. Cease thou. Let the man
live; do not return. They have given
ne a good ring" The last clause OF
this formula and two In that used in
removing the taboo refer to the fee
the chief money of the island consist
ing of arm rings.

WOULDN'T STooP TO BRIBERY
French officer Tells Of Honesty Of
Greek Statesman When His Career
Was Beginning.

A French officer. now retired, who
many years ago commanded detach-
ment of infantry In the island of Crete,
says Partisan journal, now shows
with much pride the photograph of a
Greek statesman whom he knew in
that earlier time as the mayor Of a
small Cretan village. The island was
then lacking in roads and the COM
mandant Of the detachment was
charged with the construction of those
which were the most necessary.
Immediately the mayors of the
neighboring villages came to see the
aoumsndant to persuade him to have
10 roals traverse their localities. Ac-

Stomach Trouble Quickly Cured


People go on suffering from little

Tablets regularly they would be great

SANITARY MILK PLANT
Cleanliness Often Overlooked in
Rush of Business.
Score Card Used by Dairy Inspectors
Should Be Posted Where 1t Can
Be Easily Seen by Employees
Avoid Strainers.

During the rush of business the i'm
portance of cleanliness in the milk
plant is often temporarily overlooked.
AS reminder of points often neglect
ed in this way, a score card, such as
is used by dairy inspectors in scoring
city milk plants, should be posted
where it can be easily seen by the
employees who, by studying it, can
learn wherein they are lacking, from
the inspectors point of view. The
dairy division of the bureau of ami
NAL industry of the United States de-
partment of agriculture will send a
sample score card on request.
Many of the items on the card are
self-explanatory but there are some
details in milk-plant sanitation which
are not given on any score card. If
the floors, walls and ceiling are
smooth and are made of sound and
durable materials, they may be easily
kept free from dirt and dust. Con-
crete floors are very satisfactory, for
they can be flushed often with wa
ter, there is no danger Of rotting, and
If properly constructed there will be
no cracks in which dirt can collect
Iron plates laid In cement are SAM

crete.
A separate room for handling the

Is essential and all doors must be kept
closed to exclude flies and impure air.

DUST BOX FOR WINTER
Methods Of Eradicating Lice
Practiced by PouItrymen.
Outdoor WaEIow Shown In illustration

Powder Recipe.

During the winter and early spring
months hens are likely to be infested
with lice. This is often because they
are confined to the poultry house dur
ing this period and do not have access
to their accustomed dust wallow.
Two methods of eradicating lice are
commonly practiced by poultrymen.
One is to dust each hen with good
lice powder; the other is to provide
dust wallow.
Both of these methods have disad-
vantages. The first requires consider
able labor, for experience has proved
that two applications of lice powder,
eight or ten days apart, are necessary
thoroughly to rid the fowl of lice. The
second meshod, consisting of an open
or partly inclosed box filed with dust
ing material and located in the poultry
house, is unhealthy and harmful.
A box that will not fill the air of
the pen with particles of dust is an
improvement. The outdoor wallow

10y II. A. CLARk.)
At the present time farm buildings,
in common with most Of our Amer
lean structures, offer but little evil
dence that serious thought has been
bestowed upon their character or
their disposition. In a general way,
buildings are frequently proportioned
to meet their needs and are rather
conveniently placed in their relation
ship to one another. Yet, in respect
to architectural character, they are
almost without exception, very bad, if
we disregard the few that have come
down to us from colonial days. Even
the very books which treat of farm
buildings, while discussing matters of
economy and convenience and details
of construction, fail to give considera-
ton to artistic excellence. In fact,
many of their illustrations depict
buildings as faulty in this respect as
those on the most despicable farm.
Their hard lines stand out boldly,
while nature tends to soften the bad
lines of the real.
In discussing this matter or nj
ting farm architecture, it will be well
to consider the following broad as
poets: Materials of construction and
the factors determining their use;
style of architecture and the influences
controlling it; the elements that
should give it character; the design
ing of the principal farm buildings;
the relationship of the buildings to
one another; and the methods to be
employed in accomplishing this bet
terment.
The material which is used in the
construction of any given set of farm
buildings will depend upon a number
of factors. Yet in weighing these, we
should never overlook the desirability
Of giving the buildings local color
and of having them harmonic with
their native surroundings.

CAUSE OF POOR CORN YIELD
inferior Quality Of Seed 10 Given as
Chief Reason for Small Average
In United States.

The average per acre yield Of corn
in the United States is less than 26
bushels-not half crop.
Poor seed is the greatest cause OF
the poor yield of corn. Just one small
eight-ounce ear of corn added to each
hill will raise the average in the
United States to 50 bushels per acre,
double the yield and value of the crop
and add about s1,7OO,OOO,OOO to its
total value: ,a

yield and value exceeds every Other
crop, ~
Wherever corn is grown there you
find high-priced land and prosperous
people.
No other crop can replace corn, but
corn can readily take the place of any
other grain crop.
Corn is put to a greater number OF
uses than any other crop that grows.
There are greater possibilities for
improvement, yield and quality Of
corn than any other crop.
