behind the stalls for litter carrier.
There are two Of these extending from
one end Of the barn, along each side,
to the other end and on out to the
dump. There Is no reason why this
barn cannot be kept clean and sanitary
at all times and the saving In labor
made possible by these track carriers
for the manure, and also those for the
feed, Will pay the cost OF the euuipment
Ia very short time.
The construction OF this barn is diff.
ferent from that of most barns in that
the foundation wall extends up four
feet above the ground line. The wall
Is OF concrete started two and one-half
feet below grade with wide footings to
ensure against settling or cracking,
In fact, 1t might be said that the whole
substructure of this barn is made
in one large. piece, since the con.
crete floor and foundation wall are
poured together. This method of con-
"struction rs very practical for it not
only furnishes an exceptionally solid
base upon which to set the wooden
superstrtloture, but 1t assists in raiuc.
Ing the labor Of cleaning the barn due
to the smooth, hard floor surface.
The framework Of the building is
plank Trame construction starting from
'the,top Of the wall. Plank frame aruss
work extends from the top Of the wa1l
tottiie peak Of the roof. This frame ds
solid, 'allows clear NOW space with
out projecting cross-tile members, and
when set upon the concrete wall araH
secured with anchor bolts will consta-
tute,a asskeleton for the barn which VIII
insure long life and low depreciation.

four foul-air shafts, which reach from
near tthe floor to the metal ventilators
on 0helneak. These four-air shafts are
protadted iby the corners Of the build

are three ventilators on the roof, the

and sunshine is furnished, and, second,
that generous supply Of clean, fresh
air is always caused to circulate
through the stalls.
In barn used to house all the live
stock on the farm there Is a very i'm.

met In order to facilitate maintenance
of the animals without undue expense.
This is that special provision must be
made for feeding and for cleaning out
the litter.
Since this building Is no doubt the
only one In which feed may be stored
1t is necessary that the capacity be as
large as possible, and in order to meet

In the standing stalls. In addition
there are three box stalls which may
be- used for any kind Of live stock,
since they are separated from the rest
OF the barn and may be entered from
any side Of the building. The box
stalls are very large and well lighted
and each has a hay rack built into one
corner Of the wall next to the feed
alley. The horse stalls areS arranged
along the opposite side Of the building
'from the box stalls and are provided
with strong 2 by 8 plank partitions built
with air spaces between the planks to
facilitate ventilation. The horse sta.
BILE end of the barn is separated from
the cow stable end by wall in which
there are three sliding doors. Four
Dutch doors and one sliding door open
into the horse stable.
Each COW stall has an iron stall par

on both sides. These partitions take
up practically no room and serve q

Ing the smaller animals. These par-
titions really effect saving in room
because they allow each cow Just the
right amount of space and, since they
are thin, they do not themselves deduct
from the available space. Dairymen
who have iron stall partitions very sci.
dom care to get along without them
