a sufficient height for headroom In a
horse stall.
The floor all over the barn Is made
level and smooth except In the manger,
gutter and standing floor part Of the
COW stable. Extra planks are used In
the horse stable to give the floor the
| necessary slant, and they also keep the
horses Off the hard concrete. In the
center of the barn Is the driveway,
which will probably be given severe
service. To take this into account the
floor In this section should be made
of very tough and enduring concrete.
The horse and COW stables are both
parttioned of from the driveway, so
that they are entirely separate and re-
moved from one another. The drive
way is open to the roof in the center,
but II is flOored over at the sides OF
the barn II feet up from the floor TO
continue the NOV space to hold as
much hay and other material ms pos
sibe. This driveway may be used for
various purposes, depending on the
type of farming and whether the barn
is being used us the main barn OF n
small farm or as nm auxiliary barn on
larger farm.
One thing which recommends this
barn very strongly Is the large number
of windows. Abundant light is fur
nlshed from all sides, the Importance
Of which Is gaining more and more rec
ognition ms the investigation OF sanl-
tary conditions is carried on. The eX-
pense Of including the large number
of windows is very slight and the nd
vuntnges of furnishing plenty of light
are many. In the first place a light,
airy stable cannot help but increase
the chances for heulthful condition
of the live stock At the same time II
Is very much easier to keep sunny
stable clean. Cleanliness is being rec
ognized as one of the most important
features in connection with the raising
of well-bred live stock.
For the large-fnrm owner who takes
pride in few exceptionally well-bred
animals or who has few animals that
are used for the personal convenience
and comfort of the family, this type of
barn furnishes an excellent means to
give these favored servants the best of
care. The storage room available is
also a helping factor IN the careful

Mistake Men Make.

Men harness themselves TO the work
and stress of The world in clumsy and
unnatural ways. The harness they
put on Is antiquated. A rough, ill
fitting collar, at best, they make Its
strain and friction past enduring by
placing 1t where the neck is most
sensitive; and by mere continuous ir-
ritation this sensitiveness increases
until the whole nature is quick and
sore This IS the origin, among other
things, Of a disease called loneliness
"A disease which, in spite of It's in
nocent Rme, is one Of the gruvest
sources of restlessness in the world.
Loneliness, when it becomes chronic,
is a morbid condition of the inward
disposition. 1t is self-love infamed to
the acute point; conceit with a hair
trigger.

Floor Plan.

tion order, each pair of rafters forming
an independent truss, which, taken to-
gether, support the roof In very sub
stantial manner without the use of
any intermediate uprights or cross
beams. This roof construction not only
insures the largest possible capacity
but 1t Is also an important factor In
the ease with which this barn may be
filed since there Is no obstruction in
the way of those working In the loft.
The corner posts are made by splk-
ing the side of one plank against the
edge Of another, forming an L-shaped
arrangement. The sills are made by
doubling planks and the plates are
built up in the same manner. This is
simple construction, but it is just as
solid as could possibly be had.
The haymow floor is placed nine feet
above the floor at the cow stable end
of the barn, which allows about eight
feet Of headrOOm in the COW stable.
This is an ample amount of headrOOm
for the COW stall end Of the barn and
insures good ventilation. HeadroOm is
not of as great Importance in the COW
stalls as 1t is in the horse stalls, so
long as the ventilation is not impaired.
The height of ceiling in the horse
stable end of the barn may be regu-
lated by the size and character Of the
horses, but since the average man can
not reach great deal more than eight
feet to put a bride on a high-headed
horse, this amount is usually deemed

ANCIENTS DID GOOD WORK
Engineering Feat, It Is Said, Could

Present Day.

MOntezuma's well, Il natural lake fed
by artesian flow at Camp Verde, Ariza
which has been offered for sale
to the federal government, is one
of the geological features of that
neighborhood. Surrounded, as 1t is,
by high natural walls, it seems from
distance to be n small mountain.
The outside of these walls was pierced
in u prehistoric age by cliff dwellers.
The well is a great spring and has
been used for irrigation purposes for
many years. Its depth has never been
absolutely ascertained, but is known
to be in excess of 500 feet. The wa
ter is highly charged with lime, and
moss removed from the inside walls
and exposed to the air soon petrities,
the fbers being clearly discernlble in
the composition. That the "well' sup

inhabitants of the valley with water

lished by the tracing of Il system of
irrigation bitches, which, according to
biologists, must have been construct

The water they carried deposited lime
along the entire system, and the forma.

he started climbing again. l am not
