 The arrangement of the granary, with the elevator to carry the smaller grains to the second-story bins, leaves little to be desired or imagined.
 Special attention is directed to the hoghouse. Time was when the hog was considered able to root for him. self. Today Piggy. particularly Mrs. Piggy along about family time, merits and receives the very closest attention.
 The hoghouse should have con- crete floor. The brood pens should have also. a portable wood floor to serve to insulate the animals from the concrete. There is more cold in the concrete than heat in the body of the animal, so the animal Is chilled in stead of the floor being warmed. If wood floors are not provided, an ex- tra thick litter should be supplied.

They will pay many times 6 per cent on the differ ences between their cost and the cost of the makeshift variety.
 Progressive farmers are planning for the future. Farm buildings are being arranged in a way to minimize labor and save time, and with the thought ever in mind, to insure the comfort of the stock and the safety of the prod ucts stored for use or sale.
 Location of farm buildings with re- spect to each other in some respects is a matter of individual preference, in others it is a matter of definitely es- tablished rules. The principle is that all products should flow continuously in one direction. It should not be necessary to cart hay, grain or offal back and forth.
 Farmers, country contractors, archi- tects and those in charge of agricul- tural experimental work have col Liberated to produce the modern farm building. The result is found in the sanitary dairy, the use of silage, better

 England has other blindfold games, among them is "Colin Maillard.- Jean Colin was brave warrior who lived in the tenth Century. He fought in bat tie after both of his eyes were put out, and so the game gets its name from him. He was surnamed "Maillard," which means ''mallet-wielder," because that was the weapon he used.

MT. William A Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers Of this paper; On account of his wide experience as Editor. Author and Manufacture. he Is. without doubt. the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Rad ford. No. 1927 Prairie avenue. Chicago.

 The demand for better results from farming do not constitute a theory or fad. The demand has been met and the results are an accomplished fact, demonstrated by the outcome of work on farms which is being carried on un- der improved conditions and guided by the collective intelligence and knowledge of the nation.

housing of live stock, the general en- ployment of labor-saying farm machin. cry and building equipment, the con and the yield of both.
 In farm building, Radford's stand ard plank frame construction has been the greatest boon and the source of greatest economy of recent years. This means of construction does away with a part of the cost materials by using Pinch plank instead of heavy timbers. A further and great economy is effect ed in labor for the lighter timbers are cut to pattern and placed in position by few men, instead of being elab- orately framed and raised to position by machinery or large crew of men.
 Plank frame construction has stood the test of years of use and by author ities is pronounced suitable for farm buildings of any size or nature.
 In this connection are given perspec- tive view and floor plans for four build ings to comprise group adequate for the needs of a large farm. Horse and dairy barns are of the favored gambrel roof type. The other two. hog house and corn crib, are designed to harmo- nize with the two structures first men, toned. the whole to make a complete group of farm buildings of one general type of architecture.
 Reference to the floor plans will show the general arrangempnt of these buildings. The COW stable provides ac- conmodations for 3S COWS. The barn, of course. could be made longer or shorter twithin reasonable limits) as local circumstances might warrant. In the appointments steel stanchions, lit- ter carriers, fOul-air shafts, and two conveniently-located silOs stand forth prominently.

 Our food comes from the farm and Ga few luxuries excepted) it Is pro- duced by the farmers of this country. The great problem of keeping the ta- ble supplied (with a surplus of farm products for export) cannot be solved in its entirety by bringing about larger yields of grains and tubers.
 Adequate provision must be made for conserving the harvest and that calls for farm buildings which even the most progressive element is willing to concede are entitled to the character ization Modern"
 It does not greatly profit the farmer to produce great quantity and to wit ness its depreciation in value while 1t remains in his possession.
 He has found, also, that it is poor business for him to house his live stock in structures that breed disease, or whose character prevents the most rap i'd development and increase in weight.
 Thorough tests have been made by government officials and those in charge of the agricultural colleges which have proven on a dollar and cents basis the absolute and practical economy of properly designed, con- structed and appointed farm buildings.
 Under the most favorable conditions, beef cattle will take on weight at a prescribed rate, while under the least favorable conditions such stock barely will hold its own though given the same ration. Between these two ex- tremes there are, of course, intermedi- ate stages.
