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
is Of concrete started two and one-half
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 it not
only furnishes an exceptionally solid
base upon which to set the wooden
superstructure, but it 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 a clear NOW space with
out projecting cross-tile members, and
when set upon the concrete wall and
secured with anchor bolts will consti-
tute 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 a way as to take the air in
from just above the concrete wall and
deliver 1t into the stable near the CELL
ing. This ventilating system is partic-
ularly efficient and forms further i'm
portant device for maintaining SAM.
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.

store a great deal Of good feed in a


comparatively small space.
A size of barn design for use as both
q dairy and a 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 &c feet and
the length is "a feet. The plan is in
tended to represent a barn capable Of
accommodating % COWS and six horses
in the standing stalls. In addition
there are three box stalls which may
be used for any kind of live stock,
since they are separated from the rest
of the barn and may be entered from
any side of the building. The box
stalls are very large and well lighted
and each has hay rack built into one
alley. The horse stalls are arranged
along the opposite side of the building
from the box stalls and are provided
with strong = 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 horse stable.
Each COW stall has an iron stall par
titiOn separating it from its neighbors
on both sides. These partitions take
up practically no room and serve n
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 great help in feeding the

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 d.
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
be realized as fully as possible in that
part Of the barn where the stock is
kept. The essential necessities to
maintain a healthy condition of the

herd are that, first, plenty of good light
and sunshine is furnished, and, second,
that 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 a 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,
At is necessary that the capacity be as
large as possible, and in order to meet
this prerequisite the roof must be care
