large barns consists of a large truck
that is wheeled about the concrete
floor. Many people insist that the
fiexibility of this method of feeding
makes 1t more desirable than the car
rier on the overhead track for install
lations of all sizes.
The construction of this barn starts
with concrete foundation that is ex-
tended above grade about eighteen
inches. This wall, which extends en-
tirely around the barn, is carried
down below the frost line and with
the concrete floor effectively protects
the barn against dampness and also
eliminates rodents and vermin. II
the wall of concrete is carried up
above the concrete floor It is easier to
keep the barn clean, as the floor can
be washed down with hose and the
walls close to the floor. being of con-
crete, are not affected by the water.
The sanitary condition Of the barn is
therefore much improved.
The connection between the founda-
ton walls and the barn frame must
be very carefully made so that no
draft can get through. Mortar
should be plastered up around the
stills and up to the siding, and very
often studding sockets are used in
place of the stills. In many cases stills
rot soon. and a more permanent type

Dread the Truth.

The parrot cry for conversational
values that to day dominates the pop
ular mind In America is largely the
fear Of commercialized society lest IL
should be told unpleasant truths about
itself; lest the unpleasant gulf between
its own daily practice and its ideals
should be sounded by the artist. Sim
ilarly the Puritan's confused fear of
sensuous beauty, and his desperate
shutting of the eyes to the interde-
pendence of body and soul, of flesh
and spirit, is sign of his own weak
ness, of his lack of truthfulness. In
such an atmosphere of make believe.
there is and can be neither real art
nor real beauty, dominated as it is by
considerations of utility and material
profit and Ideals and divorced as it
is from mental sincerity and the beau
ty of truth.--Edward Garrett in At.
lantic.

Very often the walls and ceilings
of barns are painted with white lead
in three coats. This finish shows the
dirt and will be an incentive to keep
the barn clean and az attractive in
appearance as possible. The whit
finish, with it's rejecting power, will
also help considerably in giving a
brightly lighted interior. which is q
good feature.
The partitions between the cow
stalls are made of iron, finished with
a hard, smooth japan that is burned
into the surface. The advantage of
COW stalls of this kind is that the
amount of surface to be cleaned is
reduced to the smallest possible
amount consistent with the maintain
ing of partitions between the vari-
GUS stalls. The smooth surface also
affords small opportunity for unsani-
tary conditions.
The whole arrangement of the mod
ern barn has been worked out so as
to make the cleaning as easy as pos
sible.
In as small barn as this, ventiiat.
ing system is very often not consid-
cred necessary, and the windows and
doors are depended upon for this re-
suit. The matter of the advisability
of a system is a question that should
be decided by the owner. If one is
installed, intake fiues should be pro-
vided on each side Of the barn, which
discharge over the heads Of the cows,
and the outtake fiues can be provided
behind the cows.
The stall partitions and the man.
gers In the part of the barn devoted
to horses are often made of wood.
While iron construction in this part
Of the stable will add to the value Of
the stable. wood will give very good
results and can be kept in good con-
dition much easier than in the stalls
that are used for cows.
The floor of the horse stalls should
be made of some material such as
cork brick or treated wood block, as
horses are more likely to slip on con-
crete than cows, due to the fact that
they are shod.
A large hay NOW is provided, with
doors running on slanting tracks un-
der the caves.
