Treated wood blocks of various
kinds are also used for stall floors.
These are made in several different
sizes and shapes and are easily in
stalled. All these types have many
champions and all will give satisfac-
ton if properly made. The plank
floor must of course be considered as
temporary floor, but the treated
blocks and cork bricks wear very we'll
The partitions between the stalls in
the horse stable are made in several
ways. Some men prefer wooden parti-
tions, while others build them of iron.
Probably wooden partitions are used
more often.
1t is poor construction to put large
windows in horse barn. Horses are
likely to break them, and in doing so
get very badly cut. The best way to
get a well-Iighted stable is to provide
plenty of small windows, which can be
placed near the roof, so as to elm
mate the possibility of breakage.
These windows are very often covered
with an iron grating, especially if they
are low enough so that there is pos
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-
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, so
it is not as necessary to provide an
extensive ventilating system.
Space Is provided in this barn for
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 used
both for feeding and for cleaning.

Wounds Caused by Dirt.

Wounds caused by earth are the by
effects of the action Of projec1i!es. 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. ,yhe
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.

When They Were Young.

To be able to say of a world which
died 80 years ago, Il remember it." is
a sure entrance to the love and rev.
erence of the young.
1t is privilege of the old which
cannot be annulled by poverty, nor
by bodily weakness, nor by monotony
of days. 1t shows them forth not as
mere specimens of longevity, but as
reliQuaries, or treasures, guarding
within themselves what Is more pre-
ciOus than themselves.
There is a vile and slipshod phrase
used of old folk-they are called "a
link with the past" Whose past are
they a link with? Not ours, for we
were not there. Not their own, for
nobody can be a link with his own
past.
They are not links, they are lives,
and the older they are the more rare
and the more delightful they are, If
only they will tell us of the world as
it was when they were children.

LIPPITT'S SIMPLIFIED GOLF

Among the United States senators
who play golf, Henry F. Lippitt stands
alone, for he has reduced the game
to it's lowest mechanical terms and
plays it on simplified basis that is
unequaled, at least in Washington His
theory is that for nonprofessional
golfer each club used adds just that
much to the complications. He says it
is needless mental strain to have to
rummage through an outfit of dozen
clubs, trying to select the one that
applies to the situation at hand. If
he has to carry a pair of calipers and
transit and couple of assistants to
determine at what angle he should
swat a dinky little gutta percha ball,
he would just as soon give up golf and
play parchesi or dominoes. So Lippitt
carries only three plain little clubs. He
owns no caddy bag and carries his
sticks himself, and all his caddy has
to do is to trot blithely along, point
ing out the quarry, like hunting dog.

On many farms there are enough
horses so that separate barn for
them is needed. Ii a farmer has a
dozen or so horses that are being used
most of the time, it is a good plan to
have separate barn, as horses and
cattle do not get along very well. In
combination barns it is necessary to
build a solid partition between the
two parts of the stable, and it is often
a 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-al1 of which have been
