A litter and feed carrier track runs
through the center OF the barn and
makes 1t an easy matter to keep every
thing clean. SO that there is no excuse
for allowing manure to accumulate.
The track which handles the carriers
runs out through the sliding door in
the back Of the barn to manure pit
or directly to the manure spreader.
from where the manure is taken to the
fields.
The frame OF the barn is supported
on a good concrete foundation that is
carried down to spread footings below
the frost line. The walls are also car
ried "a inches above grade, and the
studs are placed on top Of this wall,
To protect the enSe % the studding
and prevent them from rotting they
are placed in studding sockets made
Of cast iron. These sockets are i'm
bedded in the concrete and present
one OF the best ways OF constructing
frame barn structures. Holes are pro-
vided in the sides of the sockets so
that they can be nailed 10 the upright
timbers. Post sockets are also pro-
vided for the double row OF posts that
run through the center Of the barn.
The construction Of the feed room
shows very careful attention to details.
The sliding door that shuts this room
of from the rest of the stable is
placed on an inclined track so that it
is self-closing. This prevents the
horses from getting into the grain and
eliminates the possibility of someone
forgetting TO close the door.
Above the stable is a NOW that can
&c used Cor Tie storing 6; s.ay and
straw. The roof is Of the self-support-
ing gambrel type so that large unob-
structed space is left in this upper part
of the barn. A dressed and matched
flooring is placed under this SO that
no dust or chat will fail down into the
stable.
A vertical sliding hay door is pro-
vided which does not take ND any yalu-
able room and cannot be torn of its
hinges by the wind. Siding doors
are a great convenience for this pu--
