Now lS the Most Convenient

Plans for Building Barns, Sllos and
MIX +1ousss VIII Be Fur
nished Free.
(By c. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University of TENNESSEE

sion, University OF Tennessee.)
The late summer and fall months is
an excellent time for building barns
and milk houses, Farm work is less
pressing and the work can be more
conveniently done at this season than
IN cold weather This is especially
true with roEard to the building nf
dairy barns, since the COWS can be
MIXED in the barn lot for few days
n It should be necessary to remove the
old barn to make room for a new one
Again, 1t is difficult to put down con-
crete successfully during cold weather
One of the first things to consider is
the general type of the barn--whether
any farm live stock except COWS are
10 be kept in the barn, and the num-
Der of animals to be cared for The
4 best plan Is to have the dairy herd in
a barn by itself, as there Is less con-
fusion, the danger Of loss from fire is
reduced, and it can be kept more ssni-
tary. Where the dairy herd is small
and only few horses and other live
stock are kept a general purpose barn
may be used, In which all Of the live
stock are housed. 1t is good plan to
store hay above the cows, provided a
tight ceiling is provided Nothing but
q self-supporting roof should be used.
This increases the hay capacity; there
In 40 NJ
makes a more durable roof, works
much better than straight roof, and
costs practically the same. Bank barns
are usually unsatisfactory in the South.
They are poorly lighted and poorly
ventilated.
Select a convenient location on high,
dry ground, easily accessible to fields,
water and other buildings, Never
build a dairy barn less than 80 feet
wide nor more than 36 feet, Less than
this width is inconvsnient, and more
than 90 feet is useless and unnecessary
expense Never put in more than two
rows of COWS. If horses or other live
stock are to be sheltered III the same
barn, put them in one end Of the barn
away from the cows, rather than to
one side of the co wstalls, as this
would shut off light and ventilation,
The cows may face in or face out,
but it is usually considered beat TO
have them face out They get the fresh
air as soon as it enters the barn, and
this Is the hsndiest arrangement for
milking and cleaning out the barn. Put
In at least four square feet of window
space for each COW Concrete makes
the most sanitary fioorAAnd is cheap
est In the end. A stall for an average
size Jersey COW should be s feet 6
inches wide by feet inches long.

Living up to our servants Is in

preferred diet rather than the con-

Three Minute
Journeys
B.. TEMPLE MANNING.

T HE most romantic or the most
striking feature that the life
of a land and a people has
developed often gives a repu-
tation that is false. This Is true of
Sicily. A land that we connect
with the camorra--so intimately re-
lated by report With our own "black
hand "-and which we associate with
the vendetta and sudden death.
Sicily is in reality an island of sim
pie life. gentle peoples, and pleasing
prospects.
Can you imagine a land OF sun
shine, OF lovely vineyards, of olive
and lemon groves on, hills that rise
and drop away beneath a sky that
is even more blue than the sea that
washes its shores? II you can pic
ture such land, people 1t with sim
pie, working folk filled with
the spirit of hospitality and strange
~ superstitious, and you will possess
some understanding of Sicily. That
the vendetta and bFigandage have
had a striking share in its history Is
perfectly true, but these phenomena
are merely phenomena.
One Of the strange sights to be seen
even in the cities is the farmer
milkman with his perambulatinR
milk source. sometimes even the
cows calf accompanies him, and it
is not uncommon to see both the
calf and the farmer milking at the
same time while the COW gazes
stOlidly into space unconcerned.
There can be no question as to the
freshness of the milk that the
Stciliau buys.
Another strange sight iR a Sicilian
cemetery. Instead OF graves in the
ground, the cemeteries of Sicily are
vsui:s Of stone built one upon an
cSheT TO TIRE height of hve or more
stories. Zach vault Is long and mar
Few, and is designed to receive hut
