(Tyrannus tyrannusl

Inches. The white lower surface and
white-tipped tail distinguish this fly.
catcher.
Range: Breeds throughout the Unit
ed States Except the southwestern
part) and southern Canada; winters
from Mexico to South America.
Habits and economic status: The
kingbird Is pronounced enemy of
hawks and crows, which it vigorously
attacks at every opportunity, there
by affording efficient protection to
nearby poultry yards and young chick
ems at large. 1t loves the open coun-
try and is especially fond of orchards
and trees about farm buildings. No
less than 85 per cent of it's food con-
sists of insects, mostly of harmful
nature. 1t eats the common rose chafer
or rose bug, and more remarkable
still 1t devours blister beetles freely.
The bird has been accused of eating
honeybees to an injurious extent. but

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 a manure pit
or directly to the manure spreader,
from where the manure is taken to the
fields.
The frame of the barn Ia supported
on 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 ends of 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 to 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
be used for the storing of hay 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 chaff will fall down into the
stable.
A vertical sliding hay door is pro-
vided which does not take up any valu-
able room and cannot be torn off it's
hinges by the wind. Sliding doors
are great convenience for this pur-

On the larger farms it is very nee
essary to have room for the horses
that are needed in the work during
certain seasons OF the year. such as
during seeding time in the spring and
also during the fall blowing. Farmers
that use during these seasons as many
as IL horses say that good barn for
them is the best kind of economy. 1t
keeps the horses in fine condition and
makes it easy to regulate their feed
and take care of them so that they
can work ten hours day IL necessary
By building a special barn it is pos
sible to provide the various convent
ences, such as feeding devices, manure

Savinu the Babies.

The 1915 death rate among babies
one year old in st. Louis was the
lowest of any year on record and is
among the lowest of all the cities in
the country, according to a report just
made public by the st. Louis pure
milk commission. The death rate was
80 in 1000, reduction from rate OF
1913 in the previous year. The great
falling off in deaths is held to be due
to. first, the persistent campaigns of
the health department. the pure milk
commission and other social agencies
for the last fifteen years, together with
the enforcement of the new pure milk
law during the past yssr, and, second,
to the unusually cool summer.

NighthaWk
(Chordeiles virginianus)

Length, ten inches. Not to be con-
fused with the whippoorwill. The lat
ter lives in woodland and is chiefly
nocturnal The nighthawk often flies
by day, when the white bar across
the wing and its nasal cry are dis
tinguishing.
Range: Breeds throughout most of
the United States and Canada; win
tiers In South America.
Habits and economic status: The
skillful evolutions Of a company of
nighthawks as the birds gracefully
cleave the air in intersecting circles
is a sight to be remembered. So ex-
pert are they on the wing that no in.
sect is safe from them, even the swift
dragonfy being captured with ease.
Unfortunately their erratic flight
tempts men to use them for targets,
and this inexcusable practice is seri-
ously diminishing their numbers.

carriers, ETC., that help in making the
handling and conditioning OF the ami
mails very easy work.
The stable should be large enough
to hold the horses that are needed dur
ing the busy season. The one shown
here has stalls enough for IL horses
and also has four stalls that can be
used for valuable animals or for any
reason desired. Outside Dutch doors
are provided in the box stalls in addi-
ton to an inside door and windows.
Dutch doors are a great convenience
during nice weather. They enable
horses or cows to get plenty Of fresh
air without leaving the barn. II ami
mails are allowed to look around, as
they can with such methods of con-
struction, they are not as likely to be-
come restless.
Concrete Is not a satisfactory mate
rial as a general rule for the stalls
OF horse stables, as shod horses are
apt to slip and perhaps injure them
selves. II Is very desirable to provide
a material that can be washed down In
the same way as concrete and yet pro-
vides a surface that is resilient and
that will not become slippery.
There are two materials that have
been used for this purpose with con-
siderable success. One Is the cork
brick that Is specified in the accom-
panying floor plans and the other Is
the treated wood block. The wood
block is in various forms and is treat
ed with many different substances, of
which the most common is creosote.
Cork brick is made Of graduated
cork which is mixed with refined as
phalt and then pressed under heavy
pressure into a brick. The brick is
very resilient and never becomes slip
perry and can be washed down with a
hose, as IL IL waterproof.
The brick are laid up in a half.inch
Portland cement cushion and the joints
between the brick are grouted.
In some horse barns a floor of this
type is laid over the complete barn,
but in most cases a concrete floor Is
placed In the barn outside Of the stalls.
