tense He testified of having made
measurements and impressions of both
the teeth prints in the body of the
murdered girl and Sweets mouth. He
testified the two impressions did not
coincide. Attorney General Brewster,
on cross examination, however, forced
him to admit that the impressions
were taken at moments of ease and
might not correspond to the originals,
which could have stretched out of
shape in the struggle when the girl
was killed.
A. ]. Woodside. a detective, placed
upon the stand by the defense, startled

about in a space built around rec
tangular arrangement Of feed racks in
the center. The number of animals
which the barn will house is deter
mined by the number which can be
accommodated at the feed rack with
out crOwding, and the size of the
space around the rack should be made
such that the cattle may move about
and adjust themselves in comfort.
The barn should be provided with
sufficient storage capacity to hold
enough feed for the number of cattle
to be housed in the structure, and
from the standpoint of convenience it
must be fitted in such a way that this
feed may be easily given to the cattle.
The elimination of manual labor is
one of the largest items which has
,ntered into the recent development of
farm-building architecture. 1t neces-
states the arrangement of all farm
buildings in such manner that ad-
vantage may be taken of the modern
labor-saving devices which farmers
have found so valuable. Farm build
ings are no longer thrown together
with the sole purpose of making them
large enough and strong enough.

The result is a constant
in sanitary conditions
and methods of maintaining order on
the farm.
In the accompanying perspective
ard plan is shown a heef-cattle barn,
62 feet in width by so feet in length,
which is well arranged and designed
to meet ali the latest improvements in
this type of structure. Space for loose
stock is provided for on both sides and
one end OF the barn. Feeding is es-
pecially w~ti cared for.
Storage for roughage reaches from
the concrete floor to the peak in the
center Of the barn and spreads over
the floor of the wings above the cattle
on both sides and at the far end. By
noting the size of the various parts Of
the barn it will be observed that the
combination of. the center portion with
these wings afford considerable NOW
room, which will hold great deal of
alfalfa hay or other feeding and bed
ding roughage for winter use.
The center part of the barn above
the concrete foundation is built of up
right posts, which reach to the plates
and are braced in strong and durable
manner. This construction permits
easy moving of hay by rolling it dowr
from the high center. Outside of the
center area the barn is flOored to make
the stable warm and to extend the
| storage space clear to the low roof a
the sides. All hay and roughage i:
taken in by horse fork through thu
large hay door or is blown in by thu
stacker at threshing time. The ha.
door slides vertically and is BALANCED
by weights this being the most salts
factory mathed of constructed: whel
this type Of ccof is used.
In addiEtop 10 the outside conclet

about foot and one-half above grade

and the feed racks, but there is still a
very generous space allowed in which
the cattle may move about. There are
no dark corners in this part of the
barn. The doors are so distributed
that the cattle may be driven into the
barn from three sides.
The arrangements for stock feeding
are very satisfactory to stockmen
who have tried this plan. 1t furnishes
a correct solution of the problem dur
ing any kind of weather.
A further important point which
should be considered in the construc-
ton of barn Of this type is ventila-
ton. A large number of cattle housed
together in a building require large
quantity of air, which must be kept
in constant motion, the fresh air be-
ing drawn in near the bottom Of the
structure and the foul air being dis
charged at the top. Air should not be
allowed to recirculate through the
stable, since on it's first passage it is
robbed Of much of the oxygen which it
possessed upon its first entrance into
the barn. ,Ventilators which are
placed on the highest points of the
roof are very necessary. The cattle
barn shown here has two good venti-
lators on the roof, which pull q
draft no matter which way the wind
blows.

is still ventilated properly and thor
oughly while it is used in this way. At
the same time this building must be
suitable for use in the warmer months
and should, therefore, be fitted with
large doors which will make it more or
less open during this season of the
year.
During all seasons it is necessary
for such a barn to be furnished with
an abundance of sunlight. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that sunlight is neces-
sary in order that the stock may be
kept in good health. In addition, the
barn must be kept clean, and it is
wise to furnish carefully planned
means of keeping it in good condition
without causing the waste of a great
deal of time. Beef cattle are most
economically housed in a structure
which will allow them to move freely
