to one part Of sand, and is swept I'M
the joints.
Treated wood blocks of variot
kinds are also used for stall floor
These are made in several differed
sizes and shapes and are easily i
stalled. All these types have man
champions and all will give satisfa
ton If properly made. The plan
floor must of course be considered al
a temporary floor, but the treate
blocks and cork bricks wear very vel
The partitions between the stalls
the horse stable are made in severa
ways. Some men prefer wooden part
tons, while others build them of iron
Probably wooden partitions are uset
more often.
1t is poor construction to put larg
windows in horse barn. Horses ar
likely to break them, and in doing 81
get very badly cut. The best way I'd
get well-lighted stable is to provide
plenty of small windows, which can BID
placed near the roof, so as to elimI
mate the possibility of breakageI
These windows are very often covered
with an iron grating, especially if they
are low enough so that there is posi-
sibility of the horses breaking them.
The upper part of the barn is built
with a gambrel roof, so that trusses
will support the roof, and large open
space will be available for a haymow
The studs for the side walls can be
placed in studding sockets so that they
will be kept from being in direct con-
tact with the damp concrete. This
method of construction has been very
satisfactory in buildings of this type.
A good ventilating system must be
provided in horse barn, the same as
in any other type. The intakes can
be placed at the top of the concrete
wall in this case, or the windows can
be depended upon to do the ventilat-
ing. Sometimes out-take flues are pro-
vided that go to the ventilator on the
roof, but generally the ventilator Is
placed to take care of the upper part
of the barn. There are never as many
horses crowded into barn as cows, sc
it is not as necessary to provide ar
extensive ventilating system.
Space is provided in this barn fol-
about IL or IA horses. There are five
box stalls, three single stalls and three
double stalls. A room is partitioned
off in one corner for harness. The
driveway through the center is useC
both for feeding and for cleaning

Wounds Caused by Dirt.

Wounds caused by earth are the by
effects of the action of projectiles. Elk
ploding bullets and shells drive small
particles Of dirt into the skin. The
neck. face and other exposed portions
of the body are usually affected. The
mildest form is ''tattooed skim" which
appears as if covered with dirt, which
cannot be removed either with soap or
benzine, as the smallest, particles OF
dirt have been driven into the skin.
With the second form. abrasions with
cyanosis and swelling, deep necrosis
may occur. The third variety is the
formation of real wounds with irregu-
lar edges and simultaneous hemor.
rhages; the wound is full of pieces Of
earth, stone or dirt. In one case one
and half pounds of dirt was found
in the wound.

On many farms there are enough
horses so that a separate barn for
them is needed If farmer has
dozen or so horses that are being used
most of the time, it is a good plan to
have a separate barn, as horses and
cattle do not get along very well. In
combination barns it is necessary to
build solid partition between the
two parts of the stable, and it is often
better plan to have two barns.
Concrete is used for the foundation
and floors of the barn shown here.
The foundation walls are extended up
to the floor Of the haymow, which as
sists materially in keeping the barn
warm during the cold weather and
cool in hot weather. 1t also makes
it possible to keep the barn clean with
the minimum of labor and trouble.
The floor Of the stable is made of con-
crete, but in the stalls another floor
is often laid over it.
This floor may be made in several
different ways-all of which have been

A Few Ways Of Saving Money.

Saving money by not spending it for
good roads is like saving it in refusing
to improve stock.
1t is like saving it by refusing to
build a modern barn
1t is like saving money by doing
without a silo.
1t is like saving money by using ma
chinery beyond its period Of useful
ness.
1t is like saving money by paying
it to the doctors instead Of caring
for the health of the family.

In expanding money raised by the
sale of highway bonds, highway COM
missioners should distinguish care
fully between the permanent and the
perishable features of the road.
Foundations, drainage structures,
alignment and grades are in general
fairly permanent features which
should be looked upon in the light of
an investment If these features do
not comply with certain standard,
it will be poor economy to spend mon
ey on transitory improvements such
as hard surfaces which must. at con-
siderable expense, be renewed from
year to year In the same way, it is
Eanifestly poor policy to build an ex-
pensive surface on defective grades
with poor alignments and short-lived
drainage features.
Even when much of the money ex-
pended upon a highway has gone into
the permanent features, there is still
danger that the cost of repairs and
maintenance will be overlooked, or at
least sighted, in the calculations of
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1916-04-07

used with success. A plank floor is
sometimes used, and is built with
slight slope to the back of the stall.
The planks are fastened to a cross
piece and can be removed when nee
essary. This type is very cheap and
many farmers prefer it to any other.
Cork brick has also given very good
results for the floors of horse stalls.
They are made of very finely granu-
lated cork which is mixed with re-
fined asphalt and heated and then
nodded into a brick shape under pres
sure. Under tests they have shown
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1916-04-07

and maintenance charges will always
be necessary. On the other hand,
many features of a good road are to
be regarded as permanent investments.
When roads are built with borrowed
money, the distinction between the
permanent and the temporary improve
ment 1aust be carefully observed in
order that the county may have some
thing in exchange when the time
comes to repay the loan.

Of about 62 per cent of the total cost
of a well-built macadam road may be
considered as spent for permanent fea-
lures, and with bituminous macadam
roads, about Sc per cent. This method
of estimating cannot be applied to any
gravel or natural soil road in which
no part of the surfacing can advanta-
geously be considered permanent, for
under most systems of maintenance it
steadily deteriorates.
Roads built with surfaces entirely
Of concrete, or with brick pavements
resting on concrete foundation, are
sometimes regarded as permanent, but
this is hardly safe. 1t is not yet def
nitely known how long the best con-
crete surface will last The best vitri-
fed brick surfaces may last number
Of years, but even with them repairs
will be required.
1t should be borne in mind by those
charged with the expenditure of high

A Book Keeper
With Steel Brains.

The First National Bank has
now a quarter of million dollars
on deposits and its Cashier, Wes-
ley Staley gave notice to the board
of directors a few weeks ago
that a new system would have to
be adopted for taking care Of the
patrons accounts with accuracy
and dispatch. The board there
fore authorized Mr. Staley to EN-.
ploy a book keeper with steel
brains," so he purchased the
Burroughs Bank Book Keeping
Machine. This machine adds,
subtracts, posts the ledger, and
and issues statements, printing
dates, adds deposits, subtracts
checks and does the work ordina-
irly done by hsnd in great deal
less time and with more accuracy
and neatness.
The next improvement eXpce-
ted Is an apparatus that will get
the cashiers hat and walking
stick when he is ready to depart
after a hard days work done by
the steel man. Imagine Senator
Staley coming forth under sucn
imposing ceremonies. At any
rate this other Improvement is
yet to be developed, and who
knows what a year or two may

KENSINGTON Y. VIC. A.
TO DEDICATE ITS NEW
BUILDING TOMORROW
Twenty-ffth Anniversary Will
Be Feature of Golden Jubilee
of National Organization
STRUCTURE A MODEL ONE

The 25th anniversary of the founding of
the Kcnsington Y. w. G. A., the golden
jubilee of the national association and the
one week dedication of the new $500, GOO
association building, corner of Hancock
street and Allegheny avenue, will be celc-
bratcd from tomorrow to February 10,
with daily services in the new building
which will be thrown open to the public
for the first time tomorrow afternoon at
4 o'clock.
This new building is the result of the
untiring work of women interested in the
welfare of the association in Kensington
and of the girls in that section of the city.
The association was started in the winter
of 1891 In the rooms of Il day nursery, l16
Diamond street, when Miss Emeline
WeiGner was appointed by the Central AS
sociation to start an association there.
For Is years she served as chairman of
the kensington association. In 1902 the
association hud grown 80 that II had to
give UP its three rooms in the day nursery
and go to 2i23 Frankford avenue.
BY 1909. it had expanded stil more, and
in October of that year. the association
rooms were moved to 2g45 Kensington ave-
nue., and n cafeteria was opened. That
same year Miss Harriet Harvey became
chairman of the Kensington association.
Workers and girls alike cannot give too
much credit to Miss Harvey for the tire
less manner in which she has given of her
time and energy for the success of the
association.
AS far back as 1893 the building fund
for the present structure, which will be
opened tomorrow, was started. In 1909 the
present site was bought.
