WRITERS OF BOOKS ARE MANY
But Few Earn More Money Than Does
the Carpenter or the
BrickIayer.

So it seems that "Dick" Davis was
not worth a quarter of million dol
lars after all, but only half of that.
Here you get fair notion of how
little year in and year out even the
most popular authors earn with their
pen, "Girard'' writes in the Philadel-
phia Ledger. For a quarter of CEN
tury Davis was certainly one of the
ten best known fiction writer's in Amer
lea.
|. Some of his books had a wide cir
culation. Besides that, he had writ
ten plays and received large salaries
at various times for newspaper work.
Richard Harding, to be sure, was a
good spender, and lived rather hand
somely during those 25 years of liter
ary activity.
Nevertheless, his estate of $145, 600
stands like a grim finger board direct
ing all youthful aspirants to seek for
tune in another direction.
There are in the United States a
thousand publishers who last year
printed 10000 different books.
So far as the authors are concerned,
at least 300 were financial failures.
Indeed, not 300 new books paid their
writer's even a fair wage.
One large publisher tells me that the
average writer of books does not earn
as much as Philadelphia carpenter or
bricklayer.
A very well-known Pennsylvania
who recently wrote capital biography
told me just the other day that week
ly newspaper article which he writes
| earns more for him in year than
| does his book.

The design illustrated Is combined
COW, horse, calf and storage barn. It
is laid out in the form of cross, this
design having several distinct advan-
tages.
In the first place, it is a convenience
to the farmer to have much of his
work consolidated within the walls of
regulations of several states do not
permit mich cows to be stabbed in
the same rooms with horses or young
stock where the litter is not removed
every day. Avoiding this difficulty we
come to this cross-shaped floor plan;
for it gives us truly a three-in-one
stable arrangement. The horses and
young stock are entirely shut away
from the dairy stable.
But aside from all other considera-
tions, the strongest recommendation
that this design has is it's good looks.
Viewed from any angle, it is a dis
tinctive-looking building. Farmers are
coming to appreciate this matter of
good looks. They know that a barn
can be designed to look right and yet
not take a single board foot more of
lumber or an extra sack of cement to
build it.
In construction this building follows
the popular plank frame style; which
makes use of nothing heavier than two
inch stuff-stock size material regular
ly carried by and easily obtainable at
any lumber yard. Where strength is
needed, as in the trusses, several
planks are spiked together, and con-
nections are securely bolted with one
half-inch carriage bolts.
The gambrel roof proportions chosen
give a graceful outline to the barn,
at the same tine providing a huge
mowsf for the hay and other storage.
The capacity of the big NOW is no
tons. Besides this, 40 tons of hay can
be stored in each wing over the horses
and loose stock. There is a covered
passageway across the center, by which
every part of the NOW can be reached,
even when the main section is filled
up to the peak. Two 100-bushel grain

Hint for Exporters to Tropics.

In shipping to the tropics the wise
practice of using tin containers for
dried fruits, candies, crackers, ETC.,
has been generally adopted by Ameri-
can manufacturers and exporters, but
many firms so solder the cover that it's
removal means the practical destruc-
ton of the container. Because of their
usefulness as receptacles in which to
store articles to protect them from
ants and other vermin these contain
ers a"e much in demand if so sealed
that they may be opened without de-
stroying them. This is done by COM
petitors from other countries and by
some American exporting firms. By
lightly soldering around the edge of
the lid a narrow piece of tin that can
be stripped off the same security is
obtained and the prospective value of
the container is preserved.

"And I am shaking my paw at you,"
said Gyp. 81 would like to play with

"Good-good-good," barked Pat.
And Gyp danced around very hap
PLY. They were both young dogs and
they loved to play and frfsk about.
1t was a snowy day, and the snow
was soft and light. Gyp and Pat were
both white fox terriers; Pat had one
black spot on his back, and Gyp had
brown spot over one eye. But in the
snow they looked almost as white as
the snow did.

saia Gyp.
''That's just what I mean," said Pat.
So they began lifting the soft snow
with their paws and throwing it at
each other. Such fun as they had !!
They frolicked in the snow, and they
put their heads right into the snow
banks.
Then they would take turns in play
ing Dead Dog, and one would lie down
while the other covered him up with
little snow.
Then he would stay quite still until
the dog who had covered him up would
bark,
''Wake up, wake up you sleepy head,
"We're all through playing that you
are dead"
With bound they'd both start play
ing and frisking in the snow again,
Such time as they had. Soon two
little girls came walking by. They
were both carrying books and pencil
boxes, for they had been to school.

'How did they ever happen to be

For while Helen and Dorothy were
the very best of friends, and theil

still they lived quite far apart. They
didn't usually go to each others homes
unless Dorothy and Helen were going
to play together.

the highway, especially when they must
be placed on the leeward side of the
road during the dusty months of the
year. This distance varies from 200
feet to a quarter of mile, depending
upon the topography and the amount
the highway is used.
There are just as many troublesome
elements entering when arranging the
outbuildings with respect to each as
there are to locating them with respect
to the house. 1t is not desirable to
drive the stock from the barns to the
highway past the house, neither is it
conducive to cleanliness to haul hay
and straw over such a route. This
necessitates a front and back drive,
one past the house, the other directly
to the barn.
Animals enjoy fresh air and sun
shine, yet they must be protected
from the storms. All barns and sheds
sheuld be on the north and west of the
yards and all yards should be open
to the south.
Many farmers are inclined to locate
and arrange their buildings with re-
spect to the well. This should not be
dona when sanitation, warmth and con-
venience must be sacrificed. Water
will flow through pipes, and it is easy
to force it through. 1t is not easy to
take care of a barnyard located down
in a hollow or on the north side of a
hill or way out in field where it is
inconvenient to get to it.
Convenience is not the only thing to
be considered in the planning and ar
ranging of buildings. They must be
planned for beauty and designed and
constructed so that the owner will de-
sire-because of the pride he takes
in them-to keep them and their sur
roundings neat and clean.

with good dressing, makes a most
tasty salad.
Crab-Meat Salad.-Use twice as much
crab-meat as celery, cut very fine, stir
them into a mayonnaise dressing.
Break the meat into uniform pieces,
heap upon a bed of lettuce and pour
the dressing over it. Serve cold.
Sardine SaIad.-Cut two stalks of
celery into small pieces, chop a half
teaspoonful of parsley, remove the
skins and bones from a box of sar-
dimes and break into small pieces. Toss
all together and chill. Serve with a
boiled dressing, diluted with some of
the olive oil from the sardine can, if
it is of good flavor.
Oyster SaIad.-Small oysters are
better to use for a salad, as the larger
ones when cut look unattractive. Scald
the oysters in their own liquor until
the edges curl, drain and carefully re-
move all pieces of shell, set on ice to
chill until serving time. To every
quart of oysters allow two stalks of
! celery, cut into quarter-inch pieces.
When time to serve, toss the oysters
and celery together in a salad bowl
which has been rubbed with the cut
side of Glove of garlic, then pour over
the following dressing: Beat the yolks
of three eggs until thick, add a tea
spoonful Of salt, a few dashes of cay
enne and half a teaspoonful of mus
tard, the grated yolks of two hard
cooked eggs and two tablespoonfuls of
olive oil; pour in slowly while the
mixture is being beaten. Beat until
smooth, thin with three tablespoonfuls
of lemon juice or mild vinegar.
Tuna Fish SaIad.-This is a fish
which is especially fine favored, called
the turkey of the sea. 1t is sometimes
canned under the name of funny fish.
Use the shredded fish with celery and
any salad dressing with a bit of sour
pickle, finely chopped, or a tablespoon
full of chow chow or piccalilli.
