Surface Living.

Most of us continue to live unnec-
essarily near our surface" said Pro-
fessor James, when speaking of the
stored-up resources of energy hidden
In man, and seldom drawn upon. "The
plain fact remains that men, the world
over, possess amounts of resources
which only the exceptional individual
pushes to their full use." Surface liy-
ing, leaving untouched our greatest
capacities, physical, mental and moral.
makes our lives commonplace and un-
satisfactory. We mourn that we ac-
complish so little, but we do not put
our whole selves either into our work
or into our religion, into our aims for
this world or for the next. with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with oil thy mind" was Gods measure
for devotion when the law was given.
Unused resources rob both the phys
ical and the spiritual life of power,
and make II unsuccessful.

any side or the building. The box
stalls are very large and well lighted
and each has q hay rack built into one
corner of the wall next to the feed
alley. The horse stalls are arranged
along the opposite side of the building
from the box stalls and are provided
with strong 2 by plank partitions built
with air spaces between the planks TO
facilitate ventilation. The horse sta
BILE end of the barn is separated from
the COW stable end by a wall in which
there are three sliding doors. Four
Dutch doors and one sliding door open
into the hcrse stable.
Each COW stall has an iron stall par
tition separating 1t from its neighbors
on both sides. These partitions take
up practically no room and serve
very good purpose in preventing the
cows from turning sideways and crowd
ing the smaller animals. These par
titions really effect a saving in room
because they allow each COW just the
right amount Of space and, since they
are thin, they do not themselves deduct
from the available space. Dairymen
who have iron stall partitions very sell
dom care to get along without them
afterwards. Two steel hangers run
along the sides of the feed alley in the
center of the barn. A track is fitted
overhead down the center of this alley
from the horse stable end of the barn
to the silo. This carrier track will
prove to be a great help in feeding the
stock. Furthermore, track is placed
behind the stalls for a litter carrier.
There are two of these extending from
one end of the barn, along each side,
to the other end and on out to the
dump. There is no reason why this
barn cannot be kept clean and sanitary
at all times and the saving In labor
made possible by these track carriers
for the manure, and also those for the
feed. will pay the cost of the equipment
in a very short time.
The construction of this barn is diff
ferent from that of most barns in that
the foundation wall extends up four
feet above the ground line. The wall

fully designed to include a maximum
area In cross section. Cross braces are
bothersome In filling the NOW and they
reduce the amount of material which
the barn will hold unless care is taken
to I'LL In around them compactly. The
best roof, then, self-supporting roof,
usually of the gambrel type. Farmers
who become accustomed to feeding
their cattle on ensilage and have de-
termined the proper ration to use for
each type Of COW are generally won
over to this method Of feeding. They
will require a silo in connection with
their barn and will thus be able to
store a great deal of good feed In a
comparatively small space.
A size of barn design for use as both
dairy and horse barn is shown in
the accompanying illustration. This
design Is found to be very convenient
ON the average size farm requiring this
type Of barn. The width Is 80 feet and
the length Is IA feet. The plan is In

there are three box stalls which may

is of concrete started two and one-haf
feet below grade with wide footings to
ensure against settling or cracking.
In fact. 1t might be said that the whole
substructure of this barn is made
In one large piece, since the con-
crete floor and foundation wall are
poured together. This method of con-
struction is very practical for 1t not
only furnishes an exceptionally solid
superstructure, but 1t assists in reduc-
ing the labor of cleaning the barn due
to the smooth. hard floor surface.
The framework of the building Is
plank frame construction starting from
the top Of the wall. Plank frame truss
work extends from the top of the wall
to the peak Of the roof. This frame Is
solid, allows clear NOW space with
out projecting cross-tile members, and
when set upon the concrete wall and
secured with anchor bolts will consti-
tute a skeleton for the barn which will
insure long life and low depreciation.
The ventilating system consists of
four foul-air shafts, which reach from
near the floor to the metal ventilators
on the peak. These four-air shafts are
protected by the corners of the build
ing next to the stable doors. There
are three ventilators on the roof, the
two end ventilators being used espe-
cially to take care of the foul air from
the shafts, and the ventilator at the
center is for the hay NOW only. In
take pipes are provided In the walls
in such way as TO take the air In
from just above the concrete wall and
deliver Ii into the stable near the CELL
ing. This ventilating system is partic-
ularly efficient and forms further inn
portant device for maintaining sani-
tary conditions in the barn.
A modern barn structure of the type
discussed in the previous paragraphs
is an investment which no owner of a
moderate sized farm will regret. 1t
will yield him long service with little
or no expense of repairs and in its life
time will more than pay for itself In
the labor saved In the prevention of
sickness among the live stock made
possible by the ideal conditions under
which they may be placed.

herd are that, first, plenty of good light
and sunshine Is furnished. and. second,
that a generous supply of clean, fresh
air is always caused to circulate
through the stalls.
In barn used to house all the live
stock on the farm there is very i'm
portant requirement which must be
met in order to facilitate maintenance
of the animals without undue expense.
This is that special provision must be
made for feeding and for cleaning out
the litter.
Since this building is no doubt the
only one in which feed may be stored,
1t is necessary that the capacity be as
large as possible, and in order to meet
this prerequisite the roof must be care

DENMARK.

Conservative circles In Denmark are
eagerly discussing the question wheth-
er the United States government in ne
gotiating for the Danish West Indies,
has really seen fit to use coercive
methods, or whether the present Dan
ish government told a deliberate lie
when it explained the sale of the
islands as having been forced through
by threats on the part Of the American
government. 1t Is regarded as q great
humiliation by the intelligent Danish
people that the Danish government
should have been forced by America
not only to negotiate for the sale of
the islands behind the back of the ma
ton, although the definite promise had
been given at an earlier date that no
new negotiations should be begun
without full publicity, but also to issue
official denials Of negotiations at a
time when these were practically COM
pleted. The general opinion In Den
mark is strongly inclined to believe
that the declaration made by the Dan
ish minister Of foreign affairs is very
clumsy attempt to save the govern
ment from being swept to Its doom by
the strong wave Of popular indignation
against both the cabinet and the rigs
dag. Outside a circle Of politicians
bound hand and foot to the govern
ment there are few who think that
threats have been used by Secretary
Lansing. and there is rapidly-lncreas-
ing demand that the cabinet should
come forward with documentary
proofs of what is generally considered
an insulting accusation against a
friendly foreign government. While
many patriotic men always have OPP
posed the sale on patriotic and senti-
mental grounds, even these men real
ize that In the present circumstances,
and especially In view of the fact
that Denmark would be unable to de-
fend the islands, 1t might be wiser to
sell them to the United States. What
Is resented Is merely the underhand
methods used by the Danish govern
ment, which for many weeks. has de-
liberately deceived the nation, estab-
lished censorship which is absolute
ly unconstitutional and has lowered
the reputation Of the country In the
eyes of the world by submitting. IL
the official explanation Is correct, to
dlctation on the part of foreign state.

A barn which will accommodate both
cows and horses is valuable part of
most moderate sized farms. 1t seldom
pays to construct the large number of
buildings which will separate the dairy
herd and the beef herd from the horses
unless the farm is quite large and each
building may be of fairly generous di-
mansions. In case one barn Is used
for all purposes, there must be arrange
ments made whereby the advantages
of separate housing for the stock may

SWEDEN.

The great Swedish athletic games
held In Stockholm July 8 to IA were
the greatest athletic event In Europe
since the Olympic games on the same
field in 1912 and by far the most i'm
pOrtant event Of its kind In which the
three Scandinavian peoples have ever
taken part Many hundred of the
best-trained athletes of the three coun,
tries were present to contend for hon.
ors for the respective lands In prac-
tically every branch of sport. Large
contingents of visitors came from Nor
way and Denmark and on the opening
day 1t was estimated that about 20
600 people were present. Before the
contests began there were patriotic ad-
dresses, the national hymns were sung,
the flags were saluted. and the large
crowd listened attentiyely to state
ly poem written for the occasion by
Karlfeldt, one of the best-known of
present-day Swedish poets. One eve
ming was entirely devoted to n concert
on the athletic field inside the Olymp-
lie stadium by chorus of 1000 voices.
Love Of home and country was the
dominant note through 1t all. The
group of athletes marching into the
field presented a magnificent exhibit
ton of perfectly developed and stately
young men. One was struck by their
tall and erect stature and wonderful
precision Of action. Several European
athletic records were broken during
those days in Stockholm. In former
years Sweden has had an unquestioned
lead in athletics In Scandinavia, as
was proven by her remarkable record
In the Olympic games four years ago,
but the recent contest revealed de-
cided improvement among Norwegian
and Danish athletes and II was evil
dent that Sweden will have to look to
her laurels.

GOLF OLD CAME IN China

Golf isn't a new pastlme in China.
Proof OF the fact that the sport. be-

wall OF the Chicago Golf Club.

was that the man in the left-hand cor
