Ground Plan and Yard Layout.

several influences which effect the
placing of the different buildings with
respect to one another. These influ-
ences primarily determine the relative
position of the buildings and second
arily determine the distance which
they should be apart as well as their
distance from the house.
In the first place, the position of the
group of the buildings as a whole is de-
pendent upon the location Of highways,
the topography of the land and method
of farming the land. The buildings
should be as handy to the highway as
possible, since the entrance lane should
be paved with some material which
will prevent it's becoming impossible in
case of heavy rains. The longer this
lane is, of course, the more it will cost
to pave it.
The buildings should, however, be
far enough from the highway so that
dust will not be annoying. The topog-
raphy Of the land has it's influence be-
cause of the fact that it will effect the
ease with which buildings may be
erected especially as regards their
foundations; it may cause poor ar
rangement of buildings because of diff
ficulties existing at positions where
buildings really belong especially due
to drainage and it may necessitate
heavy hauls in getting the produce into
the storage structure from the fields.
The method of farming the land refers
to the relation in position of the TILED
part of the form to the central group
Of buildings. The position of the
group should be such that the haul
from all of the producing field will
sum up to a minimum, taking into ac-
count the difficulty of the haul as well
as the distance. A further influence in
this connection is the direction Of pre-
vailing winds. The house and it's sur
rounding buildings should be so To-
Gated that under ordinary conditions
the wind will carry disagreeable
odors, such as those given off by GER
tain Of the fertilizers, away from their
position. Conditions effecting the po-
sition of the group will doubtless CON
flict In many cases, and the farmer
must then determine which of the CON
flicting c&nditions should be given the
preference.
Having located the group at posi-

shelter shed on the south. The shelter
shed is inclosed on three sides and the
two silos close up the front opening
about 80 or 40 feet. Altogether, the two
barns, sheds and inclosed barnyard oc-
cupy space so by 1876 feet.
One barn is arranged for horses and
the other barn is for cows, the patio in
the center being used as an exercising
space for both. 1t is fact that in use,
the cows occupy this center space a
good deal of the time. In fact, dairy
men have discovered that cows may
be cared for just as well in a shelter
shed and that they are better off be-
cause of the freedom, exercise and
fresh air.
When beef cattle are kept instead of
dairy cows, the plan works out just as
well. The cows are stood in the stable
at night and left until after milking
time in the morning, while beef cattle
are stood in the stable just long
enough to eat their silage and grain.
All roughage would be fed from the
racks in the shelter she'd
Both silos and all the feed alleys are
connected by means of an overhead
track, and feed carrier runs every
where, so that any kind of fodder or
grain from the silos or feed rooms may
be taken directly to any stall or any
feed rack in the shelter shed.
One important feature rs the water
trough in the center of the open shell
ter shed, accessible to either horses or
cattle. Because there is more or less
daMpness around the water trough,
drainage must be provided to carry
away the surplus.

Window Box Gardens.

Now that potatoes are scarce every
bit of available space is being used in
growing them. Already the women
Of the nation have worked out a
scheme of growing seed potatoes in
window boxes thereby adding sew
eral dollars to the family income.
When the housewife prepares her po-
tatoes for the evening meal she cuts
piece from the rose" end of the
potato off before peeling and plants it
In the sitting room window box, which
contains either leaf mold, coconut fibre
or sand. Each piece, says one potato
planter, should weigh not less than
one and a half ounces, and the box
should be kept in the window of a
cool-but not too cool-room until the
sprouts are from one-half to an inch
high. Thus the housewife has sup
ply of seed potatoes, which are daily
increasing in value.
Many a man has money to burn SIM
ply because he doesn't burn it.

EASY TO GROW TUBEROsEs

These handsome stalk flowers are
sary. The flowers always sell readily
and ship any distance without injury.
Bulbs also sell well. Sort them into
three sizes and make the price ac-
cordingly. Plant in a sandy soil about
five inches deep.
A space in the backyard a yard
wide and two yards long, will produce
dozen fine stalks that will provide
hundreds of flowers.

Perhaps there is not enough atten-
ton paid to the arrangement of farm
buildings with respect to one another
The subject Of interior arrangement
of barns has been given great deal
of consideration during recent years,
and some very gratifying results have
been obtained. The development of
barn planning has gone hand in hand
with the rapid development of farm
building equipment. The aim of the
entire movement has been to provide
increased facilities for handling the
work and at the same time improve the
conditions under which live stock are
housed. OF course, the result must in
every case take into account the profit
made by the farmer,
While developments are still to be
expected in barn planning, there is
also the urgent need of careful plan
ming of the farm itself. Time saved
in the buildings should not be wasted
between buildings. The answer is not,
however, to crowd the buildings as
closely together as possible. There are

Breeze.
The Breeze blew about this way and
that. The trees moved around and the
flowers waved. And then the Breeze
whispered to the Elves of Elfland
the following message:
"Will you give a dinner? The Spring
Ferns will give you the decorations and
a new table cloth. They are very anx-
ious to have party given in their
woodland glade"
The Elves were delighted when they
received the invitations and they sent
back the following answer by the
Breeze:
eve will all be there in one hour.
Everyone OF us will come and we will
ask our friends the Gnomes and the
Brownies and the Fairies to come. We
will ask Old Mr.. Giant and Witty
Witch, too,
The Ferns were delighted when the
Breeze brought them back the mes
sage. And in one hour Fife Elf and all
the other Elves arrived.
They exclaimed with delight when
they saw the lovely new Spring Ferns.
"How wonderful you are" they said.
"And your green fern dresses seem
even lovelier this year than ever"
"Ah," said the Ferns, 'the snow was
kinder than ever this year to us-that
is the reason. We slept so soundly and
we had such sweet dreams that we
woke up feeling so fine and fresh Our
roots helped us along, and we came up
feeling as if we would be better ferns
than ever before"

Elves. "And the moss is wonderful.

that the long stretch of moss over yon-

Breeze we would have not only decora-
tons but table cloth. Will it do?"
"Indeed it WILL" said the Elves. And
at once they all set to work. They
picked some of the ferns and made
chairs cut of bark and ferns for their
guests.
And they put all the chairs around
the moss table cloth. Soon the rest of
the guests arrived. The Elves were
wearing their best green frocks with
silver trimming and the other guests
came in green, too.
They did not just wear any sort of
shade of green, but they wore the
green shades that are the colors of
trees. When the leaves saw that their
colors had been copied by the honored
guests they shook all over with merri-
ment and delight.
