Washington, Sept. 1.-THE ap-
pointIncnt of General Alexieff to SUI
preme command of the Russian arm
les will be followed by a reorganiza-
tion in which old generals will be re-
placed by new ones. The first definite
news of the reorganization was re-
ceived by the Russian embassy.
Reports say the confidence of the
troops is being restored and the sit
-uation is rapidly clearing. One report
says that if the troops had known the
true conditions at Petrograd the
Korniloff revolt never would have
happened. Reports of the military
situation improving are strengthened
by statements that Germany has more
men on the Russian front than ever
before.

visional government has issued the

much sunlight cannot be given to the

other wing.
Hay storage reaches from the
ground to the peak in the center of.
the barn. The wings also are floored
over the stables and the cattle shed. so
the whole size of the barn is made in

Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-11-30
BY WILLIAM A. ADFoRD,

The farmer who is in the habit of
getting his moneys worth in an invest
ment, considers five things before he
accepts the design of a barn. These
things are appearance, economy, prac-
ticability, convenience and santa
ton.
A well-lighted, handsome appearing,
practical building on the farm is a
good investment because it gives add
ed value to the property in the eyes
of a prospective buyer. Correct de-
sign is Of utmost Importance in obtain
ing the desired quality of good ap-
pearance, although the exterior finish
and relation of the building to other
buildings of the group must be given
consideration in this connection. The
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-11-30

roof of the building is largely re-
sponsible for the appearance and it
should be proportional with this idea
in mind, but the storage capacity is
very often of greater Importance than
the appearance. Properly designed
dormers can often be used to obtain
a pleasing appearance, where the roof
surface Is large. One of the easiest ways
to obtain attractive appearance Is to
mount a good type of modern venti-
lator on the roof, at as many points as
there is need for them; and in addi-
ton to the appearance, this equipment
IS considered absolutely necessary
from the standpoint of healthy stock,
among the farmers "whO know"
Economy consists In using the least
wall area, Il minimum of nOn-uSeful
floor space, saving Of building materi-
ais wherever possible, reduction of
heat loss through the walls, all re-
sulting in a saving of money both in
construction of the building and In it's
subsequent use. Sometimes there is
too little money invested in farm build
ings, in which case the labor cost of
maintaining the stock is excessive.
There should be n balance struck be-
tween the labor cost of doing the farm
work and the interest on the money
invested in buildings constructed for
the purpose of reducing this labor
cost.
P~racticability consists in proper di.
mansions of stalls, passages, doors,
cutters, hay-racks, posts, beams, brac-
ing and other parts. This Consldera-
ton is that which makes it advisable
to consider each building for the par
ticular conditions under which it is
to be used. The buildings should be
large enough to accommodate n bump
err crop and as much stock as the farm
will profitably maintain. Remember
that 1t Is far more expensive to add to
a building than 1t is to make 1t large
enough In the first place.
There is a great difference in the
convenience of barns. Such things as
the arrangement for feeding, layout Of
feed and litter passages, facing of an
