BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

The progressive farmer is careful OF
the appearance q. his farm. Whether
this i because of the fact that he
knows il has an effect on the sale value
of the farm, because of his personal
pride or because of the influence Of i'm
proved farming methods and sunita-
lion, makes little difference. 1t is SUI
ticient that this tendency is in force.
Naturally the appearance of the build
ings will determine very. largely the ap-
pearance Of the farm.
Some Of the best farms are bHilt ac-
cording To a definite plan which prcde-
tcrmineS jus; where each building is To

the shape Of the roof. The roof of Il

The total external surface and its shape
will. therefore. have decided effect
upon the appearance.
There are three principal types Of
roof which are used on farm buildings.
These are the pitched or gable roof. the
gambrel roof and the gothic roof. In

the gothic roof gives the largest volume
Of the three types.

To show that il is sometimes pos

of the field where the airplane had
alighted and rode full tilt toward IL to
make IT'S occupants prisoners.
Al the side of the field farthest from
the Germans lay a wood and the space
between the airplane and the trees was
50 small that the machine could not
rise into the air in that direction. All

Mexican Recruits Convicts.

Mexico, more or less is always at
war with somebody. To be AT war one
must have an army, and Mexico boasts
that she has raised hers by voluntary
methods. In reality. the method of re-
crulting is nothing more than modern
form of the old press gang system. The
Mexican army relies largely on the in
mates of the prisons for its best re-
cruits. All captured rebels and out
laws are generally transferred TO the

struction is exceedingly simple. The
gambrel roof has the advantage that
1t is adapted to the various forms of
plank frame construction. which is a
type of construction that has replaced
the heavy timbcr and beam barns in
many parts Of the country. Its princi-
pal advantages are that it requires no
lumber having Il thickness greater than
two inches. it may be framed by a
small force of men because there are
no exceedingly heavy members to be
raised into place and the hay NOV
space is unObStructed except for the
purlin posts and the main truss chords,
which project only a few feet into the
NOW. The gothic roof may likewise be
claSSed as a plank frame structure.
There is absolutely no obstruction of
any sort in the NOV of a gothic roof
barn. When properly braced with
diagonal strips spiked and bolted
across the studs and rafters it Is a very
strong type of construction.
The gothic roof would be selected by
the farmer who wishes to make his
farm appear distinctive. Buildings
having this type of roof are character
lied 10y their neat appearance and in
most localities they are out of the or
binary. This matter of appearance, to-
Gethcr with the structural advantages
already mentioned, are sufficient 10

different from the usual layout found
on farms throughout the country. II is
