tho best sanitary conditions in dairy stable. These features are taken care of in good style in the well-arranged barn that is shown here. The win dows are plentiful and are large enough so that tue interior will be bright and cheerful They can be made as easement windows or with a sliding sash, so that they can be opened in the warm weather. Dutch doors are al1o included, so that the upper part can. be left open for addi- tional ventilation in the warm weather.
 The ventilating system is most com- plete and well arranged. The air is carried in through fues and is dis charged into the stable in front of the cows and over their heads. The out take openings are placed behind the cows and lead to foul-air shafts run ming up the walls and along the roof to the ventilator placed on the peak The barn is so we'll built that it is practically airtight, and the ventilating system must be so well arranged that a plentiful supply of air will be as- sured during the cold weather.
 The ceiling over the stable should be made of dressed and matched flooring, so that none of the dust from the haymow will sift down into the stable. Dust has bad effect on cows, and this method of construc- tion will eliminate danger.
 A large storage space is available in the upper part of the barn, as the trussed gambrel roof leaves all the space open so that the supply of hay and fodder that can be kept will be plentiful. A hay track is provided, so that the material can be easily got into the barn. This track ex- tends out through the large sliding hay doors and is protected by hood roof projection at the peak. The door slides on an inclined track placed just under the caves. The tendency at the present time is to make the hay doors rather large, so that a good load of hay can be handled read fly by the hayfork. With sliding doors this has not made 1t necessary to waste space in the now for doors, and makes the filling of the haymow a simple, quick process.

Floor Plan of Barn.

joist between the concrete and the walls should be made very carefully. so that the cold air cannot blow in. This particular part of the barn should be given careful attention, because it is more likely to be loosely made than any other part.
 All the stanchion fittings are made of iron, which presents smooth sur face that can be easily cleaned. Dust and dirt do not readily collect on such a surface, and the fixtures can be washed down at the same time as the floor. The surface of stanchion fix lures is either japanned or enameled, so that the fixtures will not rust.
 A fairly large silo is built at the end of the barn, and the chute from this goes directly to the feeding all ley. The silo can be built of size that will readily handle the silage that is needed for the number of cows that are to be kept. The floor plan does not show a feed carrier, as the barn is small enough, so that one prob ably will not be needed. If it is de sired, however, 1t can easily be in- stalled.

 The barn shown here is intended largely for dairy stable and is espe- cially fitted to the farm that is near a town where market can be found for the milk that will be produced by a herd of high-grade COWS. The stable is arranged so that 16 COWS can be ac- commodated, which is fair-sized dairy equipment
 A double stall and two single stalls are provided for, so that the work horses can also be stabbed in this economy barn.
 Such barn should be as carefully built as the large plants handling hun dreds of COWS, such as are located near the large cities. The same care in sanitation and in the production of milk of the highest quality will make it possible for a dairyman to make a

Graphic Way Concerning The
Allies Base at Salonih

SALONIKI, Greece, Jan. 26.-The
temporary Serbian refugee camp lies
in the vacant lot back of the Russian
Eospiotal. For only a short time ago
Saloniki was Turkish city, and as in
all the leading towns of the Ottoman
Empire, each nation with any import
ant colony had it's own hospital, its
own schools, it's own post Office, as IT
had its own consulate. So there is a
Russian hospital at Saloniki.
1t is an imposing and well-equippel
building in an elaborate setting of
formal gardens-such as might sur
round the railway station of any pros
porous American suburban town. Ia
contrast, the vacant lot behind the
hospital grounds is barren, a dumping
ground, full of mud holes, undrainel
and morose.
Here are pitched some twenty-five
tents that shelter over twelve hundred
ren, women and children whose whole
stock of worldly possessions is what
they carried with them on their flight
from war-fayed Serbia Some came
by train, before it was too late. They
have beds, trunk or two of clothing

sewing machine. But most fed afoot
I'm the last hours of Serbia's agony,

have the clothes they stand in. Per-
haps there is a homespun blanket be-
