Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1917-08-03
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

The progressive farmer is careful Of
the appearance of his farm. Whether
this is because of the fact that he
knows it 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 SANTA
ton, makes little difference. 1t is suf-
fcient 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 built ac-
cording to a definite plan which prede-
termines just where each building is to
be placed, the type of building which it
is to be and the style Of all
of the buildings is made to con-
form to a selected standard. The
scheme may even be carried to
conformity between building ma
terials used. The most noticeable man.
ner in which farm buildings may be de-
signed to follow a selected style is in
the shape Of the roof. The roof of a
barn constitutes a large proportion Of
the total external surface and it's 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

ALL ALUMINIUM FROM BAUXITE
Clay Also Contains Vast Quantities Of
the Metal, but No Way Has Been
Found to Get 1t Out.

Bauxite is a mineral that contains
aluminium in combination which the
electric furnace will tear apart, thus
producing the metal. Clay also con-
tains it in vast quantities, but the trick
has not yet been turned to set free
the aluminium in clay. So bauxite Is
used.
There are large deposits Of it in
France, in the territory behind the Ri
viera. Before the war these deposits
were principally held and exploited by
thrifty Germans, who shipped the ore
into Switzerland, where a German
owned plant reduced the ore by cleo
tricity obtained from Swiss waterfalls
and produced the metal. This was
then shipped into Germany and large
ly used to make the tips of shells
which are shot over into France again.
The rings made by wounded French
soldiers or sailors Of France in the
trenches and sold here for the benefit
of orphans are thus very likely to be
made of metal mined in France,
smelted in Switzerland, and manufac-
tured into munitions in Germany.

selecting the style Of roof for the
buildings of the group, the barn which
is to have a hay NOW should govern
the decision. This building should have
a roof which will provide the largest
possible haymow volume for every
square foot of ground covered by the
building, under ordinary circumstances.
There might be conditions such that a
large haymow would be unnecessary in
any of the buildings and then the style
Of roof would be wholly a matter of
personal taste, based on appearance
only. Assuming that the large NOW is
necessary, however, the following facts
are considered: The gable roof pro-
vides the least volume of any of the
three types mentioned for a given
height. The gambrel roof furnishes a
larger volume for the given height and
the gothic roof gives the largest volume
Of the three types.
The gable roof has no particular adj
vantages from the structural stand
point other than the fact that it's con-

struction is exceedingly simple. The
gambrel roof has the advantage that
it is adapted to the various forms OF
plank frame construction, which is a
type of construction that has replaced
the heavy timber and beam barns in
many parts Of the country. It's princi-
pal advantages are that it requires no
lumber having thickness greater than
two inches, it may be framed by
small force of men because there are
no exceedingly heavy members to be
raised into place and the hay NOW
space is unobstructed except for the
purlin posts and the main truss chords,
which project only few feet into the
NOW. The gothic roof may likewise be
classed as plank frame structure.
There is absolutely no obstruction of
any sort in the NOW of a gothic roof
barn. When properly braced with
diagonal strips spiked and bolted

across the studs and rafters 1t is 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 by their neat appearance and in
most localities they are out of the or
binary. This matter of appearance, to-
gether with the structural advantages
already mentioned, are sufficient to
recommend such a barn to any farmer
who wishes to follow plan somewhat
on farms throughout the country. 1t is
noticeable that the farms which are
carefully planned usually are the large
ones built practically in their entirety
at one time. This fact is to be regret
ted, since the smaller farmer, if he
cares to do so, may consult with the
builder and building material dealer
and plan his farm in just as systematic
manner as that used for the largest
farms. Progressive building material
dealers in farming communities in all
parts of the country are rapidly equip
ping their Offices with all kinds of lit
erature and various other helps which
are at the disposal of the farmers.
Builders who are interested in farm
building construction are studying cata-
logues, textbooks and building jour-
nails so that they will be fitted to offer
useful suggestions to the farmers who
come to them for advice on building
subjects. This building service need
not be limited to the farmer who is
planning new farm. 1t is just as use
full in the development Of farm which
has been established and is growing
beyond the limits of it's present facili-
ties. The advice to farmers-all farm
ers-is, then, to make friends with the
builder and the building material deal
err in the nearby town. He can serve
you and his service may save you
money on your improvements.
Coming back to the gothic roof barn
shown in the accompanying illustra-
tons, let this structure serve as an IL
lustration of what the appearance of
such structure may be. Clean cut
lines are responsible for the neat ap-
peaance. The appearance of a group
of buildings modelled as this pattern
may easily be imagined.
This barn is 80 feet wide by ~ feet
long and it is arranged as horse barn
with haymow above the stable. A
building designed as cow barn would
be made few feet wider in order that
plenty Of space would be available for
two rows of stalls and three alleyways.
The length of any barn may be varied
to increase or decrease it's capacity,
| but the width remains constant. Win

Indians Like SpectacIes.

Members of the Ute tribe of Indians
in Utah have recently acquired the
habit Of wearing spectacles, much to
their own delight and to the profit
OF an optical salesman who was in
their vicinity. A chief started the style
by purchasing pair of yellow-lens
glasses from the white man, and in a
few days SO many Indians demanded
similar adornments that the drummer's
supply was exhausted and he had to
send for more, says Popular Mechan-
les magazine. 1t Is said that there are
nearly two hundred men, women and
children in this tribe who now possess
spectacles. Some indicate their social
position by wearing three pairs at a
time. Glasses with heavy tortoise-shell
rims have proved popular. These In
dams were on their way to attend a
powwow in New Mexico, and it is
thought that they wanted their new
adornment especially for this occasion.

Ghetto a Serious Place.

Americans are accustomed to say
that nothing can be really good that
does not show sense of humor' A
person who, no matter what his de-
fects may be, has that irradiating light,
is saved, and it is that quality
in book which we pick out
with perhaps the greatest approval.
But the serious ghetto is entirely lack
ing in the genial sense Of humor,"
says Hutchins Hapgood in the Century.
'The Russian Jews do not know how
to play, either physically or inteIlec-
tually. There is no play in their art,
their literature, or their life. They
do not understand what is light and
graceful. Charm of the mere evanes-
cent kind, the charm Of the nuance, is
lacking. The spirit and the art of
the Japanese are the opposite of the
spirit and the art of the ghetto Jew.
The young men of the ghetto-those of
the intellectual type-pass their nights,
after working hard all day, in serious
conversation in which there is no
lightness or humor, although there
may be, and often is, a sense of the in
congruous or of the ridiculous"

John Lavery, the famous artist, had
q funny experience at Newmarket
some time ago. On that historic race
course, bookmakers are forbidden to
put up stands or display boards. But
the famous academician only wanted
to sketch the course, and, as he was
staying with Lord Derby, he went bold
Iy and set UP his easel.
But he reckoned without the race
course policeman, who told him to "get
out Of it," mistaking his easel for a
stand. AS he had not got written
permission, he told the policeman he
was a guest of Lord Derby; but the
unbelieving bobby only said: Same

GEORGE WiSSLER MAKES
AEROPlANE

Many people, and especially the
boys, were very Interested in the
little monoplane which was sus-
pended above Democracy's throne
on the Palladium float in the par
ade last Monday, But they would
be still more interested If they
could have examined the little
aeroplane closely anC have seen
all the tiny little parts which were
so perfectly fitted together, be-
cause it was built exactly on the
pattern of the real machines, and
even would fly.
The aeroplane was built by
George Wissler, who spent several
days, and nights too, putting the
many parts together. To make the
machine many of the pieces Of
reeds and small beams had to be
boiled in scalding water before
they could be Bent into the right
shape, and to put the frame to-
gether George had to take the
greatest care not to split the tiny
pieces of wood in driving the nails.
After the frame was made, it
had to be covered with specially
prepared kind of paper, and then
vanished to make it strong enough
to hold.
Since there is no motor in the
machine, the way it is made to fly
is by winding q strong rubber band
very tightly over a hook which is
fastened to the propeller in the
front, and as this twisted band I'M
winds, it turns the fan, and that
makes the machine run along the
ground until it gets enough speed
to rise.
