is substantial-looking farm barn of
small size designed in accordance with
most approved practice in farm-build-
ing architecture. 1t is 50 feet by 26
feet in size on the ground, and the
roof reaches up high enough to make
a good-sized NOW over the stable.
The concrete foundation is built up
above the level of the barnyard about
IS inches to protect the stills of the
building from moisture. The sill of
the wooden building is laid in soft con-
crete mortar on top of the foundation
wall, and anchor bolts tie the sill firm
ly to the concrete.
The floor over the COW stable and
horse stable is made in the usual way,
except that the joists are tied together
at the ends and spiked into the stud
ding at the sides to tie the building to-
gether. The timbers are all light and
are put together on the plank frame
construction plan, so that the trussed
crossties help materially in making a
solid building.
The shape of the roof also strength
ems the building, so that even though
the timbers are light the structure is
very strong.
There is one central feed alley,
which serves the horses on one side
and the cows on the other, a plan
which saves great many steps at
feeding time.
Dutch doors are provided so that
the upper parts of the doors may be
left open for ventilation.
The horse stalls are made to use as
double stalls when necessary. There
is door which makes the standing
double stall into a box stall when this
is an advantage. The box stall with
the outside door is convenient for a
mare and foal, since they can run out
into the yard and come back to the
stable at feeding time and at night.
Box stalls are convenient in all barns
where live stock is stabbed.
An interesting feature of the plan
is the hay door. 1t is made ten feet in
width and is hung with weights like
a window sash, so that it may be
moved up or down and left in any po-
sition wanted. In summer time while
the NOW is being filled and for some
time after, this door is pulled down to
the full opening. Afterwards it may
be partially closed until the hay is
done sweating.
The weights move up and down in
boxes at the sides of the studding. A
raceway a little longer than the height
of the door is necessary to allow for
the stretch of the cord.
Gambrel roofs are becoming quite
common in different parts of the coun-

most acceptable Christmas gift; just
chose a bag of some kind and rest
easy.
Velvet, brocade, satin, crochet work
and beads are all impressed into serv-
Ice for making bags. Chinese, Jap
anese and other embroideries contrib
ute additional materials, and among
the handsomest bags are those made of
pieces Of old Paisley shawls combined
with velvet. The most popular of all
the many different styles are bags
made Of black velvet or black satin,
embroidered with steel beads. Steel
bead fringes and tassels finish them.
Unless they are made at home, so
that the price Of labor Is eliminated,
these necessities of the woman OF fash
ion are costly. Those Of beadwork es-
pecially proclaim the value of time
consumed in making them, and range
in price from SIS to 500. Black vel

son seal with all of them. When the
frock Is weighted with landings of
fur or satin the embroidery may be
done in heavy silk, and it is very sim

ornaments. But the girdle hardly in

There is no reason why the small
farm should not have buildings of as
high quality as those of the larger
farms. There is little saving realized
in the long run when cheap, poorly
constructed buildings are placed on q
farm of any size. Small buildings may
be constructed with just as careful re-
gard for the latest ideas in farm
building construction as the larger
structures. In order that barn shall
follow the latest practice in farm-build.
ing design it must be provided with q
large number of windows which will
allow the sunlight to penetrate every
corner, and there must be a system OF
scientific ventilation to insure the
health of live stock kept in the barn
and prevent the formation of condi.
tons resulting in an increased fire
risk.
The permanence of barn is depend
ent very largely upon its foundation
When the structure is given a good
coat of paint at regular intervals and
no accident occurs which weakens it al
any point, the only rapid deterioration
which is likely to occur is the rotting
of timbers kept moist by an improper
Reconstructed foundation system. Con

crete has furnished one of the most
useful of materials in building farm
sills. By carrying the concrete founda-
ton walls up IS inches or two feet
above grade and boiling the sills to the
top of these walls the moisture is kept
away from the wood and rotting is pre-
vented. In addition, the walls and
floors may be made of concrete
throughout, furnishing strong construc-
ton and making the barn very easy to
keep clean.

ties were placed across the haymow

and add cost to the construction is
now thing of the past. Barns are
built now with self-supporting roofs
shaped to provide the greatest possible
storage space in the NOW without US
ing unnecessary lumber. The strength
of the structure is not lessened. it is a
great deal easier to build, and the NOW
may be filed more quickly with larg-
er quantity of material.
