the same as concrete.
The upper part of nearly all barns
is built of frame because it is 80 much
cheaper than any other way of doing
this work.
The clear space between the floor
and the ceiling is eight feet six inches.
1t is much better to have too much
head room than too little. especially
in a large, well-built barn. which can
be kept warm very easily. There is
another reason for building with
plenty of room. In this particular case
the litter carrier runs out onto a
crane that is high enough above the
ground so that the manure can be
emptied directly into the manure
spreader without all the muss that is
generally caused II the material Is
placed in a pile and emptied into the
manure spreader later. II the ground
is on a slope this process can be car
ried out very readily. but in some
cases a slight depression is dug so
that the manure spreader can be run
into this and lowered enough so that
the carrier will run on the crane we'll
ever It. The crane is shown in the
perspective and also in the floor plan.
The floor plan shows most complete
ly the extensive and well-designed ven-
tilating system. The intakes are
placed in the structural tile wall and
run over the cows and let the fresh
air in above their heads. The air is
then carried back across the animals
and goes out through the foul-air
shafts back of the cattle, from where
it is carried in flues up along the wall
and along under the roof to the ven
tilators on the peak. The dotted lines
in the floor plan show the arrange
ment, with it's various parts.
The facing-in arrangement is used
in this plan, but 1t could be easily
changed to the facing-out style If de-
sired. Such a change would also in
volve a change in the ventilating sys-
tenn, and would make the inlets nearer
the wall and the out-takes in the CEN
trail part of the stable. The tracks
would not have to be changed in any
way however, as the switches make
It possible to run the carrier on any
of the tracks from any of the other
tracks. The floor plan clearly shows
the construction and arrangement of
the track. with all the necessary
switches.
All the interior finishings and walls
of the barn should be as smooth as
possible, so that the barn can be
washed down with cold water each
day. All the stanchions are generally

EARLY WORK IN BULB GARDEN
BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL

BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL.
With the first warm days the bulb
GUS plants spring up, and many a be
ginner has tried in vain to push them
back until warm weather.
AS rule it is best to let nature be
dictator. Hardy bulbs will endure lots
of cold; and if they do sometimes get
helplessly nipped of flower buds by
undue haste, there is more frequently
damage done to the roots by trying
to curb the growth.
Do not be in hurry to remove the
leaves which should have been their
winter coverlet. Loosen them up grad
ually, taking care that the plants are
not smothering. II the weather con
tinues fine, work the loose leaves q
little more into the soil every day
thus gradually making the change.
There is less drain upon the bulbs
II the blossoms are picked as soon as
they commence to wither.
Look to it that the bitches and
drains are in good order. $500.
Some cut the tops from hyacinths as
soon as the leaves turn yellow, remove
them, and plant ANIMALS. This Is q
very neat way of getting rid of the
bulbs-and most effectually, as q rule
But If you wish hyacinths another
year. there is better way, unless you
can afford to purchase new bulbs.
Those discolored leaves are a neces.
sity to the plant while ripening the
bulbs, and If they cannot be tolerated
permissible compromise is to trans
plant the bulbs to some out-of-the-way
corner of the yard, where they. can
ripen in peace. They may then be
dried and packed away for autumn
planting.
1t is better to replant the hardy
bulbs at least once in two or three
years, else they become too thickly
matted. Besides the soil needs q re-
newal Of fertilizer; and this can never
be so well done as when the bed is
empty.
There is often complaint that the
old-fashioned white narcissus poeti.
Gus blasts in the bud. This is usually
remedied by resetting the bulbs which
have become matted together.
If you have a number of varieties
of tulips and more time and patience
than money to buy new varieties.
there is often much pleasure in grow
ing tulips from seed. Some of the
soft shades of old-rose have been
in our own garden evolved from the
cross-fertilization of standard forms.
There is a pleasure, too, in watching
the unfolding of the unknown. New
varieties purchased of seedsmen are
always announced and their beauties
described; but these seedlings are
positively new, and some of them are
strikingly beautiful.
If in planting your. tulips. carmine
and scarlet are in painful contrast,
mark the one for removal at the prop
er season. Some flowers show only
harmony in varietal colors, but the
tulip cannot be classed among these.

SOME TIMELY TIPS

Do not be in too much of a hurry
to make a garden. Wait until the soil
Is warm. Seeds simply will refuse to
terminate in cold. damp weather.
Keep the house plants indoors or
well sheltered until the weather is
warm for keeps. . A single cool night
may ruin all your treasures.
An uncovered ra;n-barrel will breed
millions of mosquitoes. Do not allow
any stagnant water to stand near the
house. Drain off the little pools that
form where the plants are watered.

Three different kinds of material are
used in the construction of the large
and well-eQuipped dairy barn that is
shown here. The foundations are of
concrete. the walks up to the floor of
the haymow are of structural tile,
and the upper part of the barn is
framed.
Concrete is used almost universally
for foundations now, no matter how
the rest of the building is built Struc-
tural tile makes a most satisfactory
wall for several reasons. Walls made
of this material are very quickly built
and the air space in the tile forms an
effective insulation against tempera-
ture changes. Because of the nonab-
sorbent surface of vitrified tile the
walls can be readily washed down and
kept clean. Tile is not subject to de-

Tables and Menus for the Fourth

Z For the Fourth of July festivities
the colors used for decoration are of
course red, white and blue, and this
lscheme may be carried out in the
menu as we'll as in the table decora-
ltions. As 1t is not easy to carry out
the blue in the foods, il is best to let
Ithe china and the furnishings supply
the needed touch of blue. If possible
use blue or blue and white china on
the table.
Red, white and blue flowers make
pretty patriotic decorations. An at
tractive centerpiece- can be arranged
by using red and white sweet peas in
a blue bowl, or red and white peoples,
or any other red and white blossoms
in season. Red, white and blue bache-
lor buttons are effective. The color
scheme may be carried out in the cen
terpiece by using white bowl or
basket and filling it with crimson
rambler roses and placing 1t on blue
mat. OF course the patriotic colors
can be repeated in flags of various
sizes, which may be used profusely
for decorative purposes.
In the first table pictured, a white
cloth is used with blue and white
china. The centerpiece is composed
of four flags crossed and standing,
surrounded by tiny shields laid in a
ring on the cloth. Small birch-bark
canoes, holding red and white roses,
are placed around this centerpiece.
The place cards are tiny pasteboard
boats decorated with flowers, and the
bonbon boxes are in the shape of
Omaha daily bee., 1916-07-01

shields. In front of each place is a
tiny candle in walnut shell, placed
between two small crossed flags. The
glass candlesticks have blue shades,
trimmed with red and white flowers.
On the second table are decorations
suitable for a children's table. Two
wide strips of crepe paper, decorated
with eagles and flags, are used as
runners, crossing in the center and
reaching to the edge of the table. In
the center is a mound constructed to
represent fort and covered with imi-
tation grass cut from green crepe
paper. This is topped with flag and
an eagle, and in the sides are stuck
sticks of candy wrapped in red paper
with strings at the ends to look like
firecrackers. From this centerpiece
streamers of red crepe paper extend
to the edge OF the table. Paper plates,
with flag pasted in the center OF
each are used. The bonbons are tied
in paper napkins, twisted to resemble
giant torpedoes and candy hrecrack-
ers, and crossed flags are laid on the
cloth.
The center decoration in the third
table is a white liberty bell decorated
with crossed flags, hung from the
chandelier. Underneath on the cloth
are crossed trumpets; in the center a
single flag stands upright guarded by
minuteman. White lilies fall from
the mouths of the trumpets, thus CIV
ing the suggestion of horns of plenty.
Blue and white china is used. with
silver candlesticks having shades
