Ground Plan and Yard Layout.

several influences which effect the
placing of the different buildings with
respect to one another. These infu-
ences primarily determine the relative
position of the buildings and second
arlly determine the distance which
they should be apart as well us their
distance from the house.
In the first place, the position of the
group of the buildings rs 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 1t will cost
to pave IL.
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 II will effect the
ease with which buildings may he
erected. especially as regards their
foundations; 1t may cause II poor ar
rangement of buildings because of diff
ficulties existing at positions where
buildings really belong especially due
to drainage and II 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 ;illed
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 10 n minimum, taking into ac-
count the difficulty of the haul rs 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 50 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 %effecring the POI
sition of the group Will doubtless con-
fict in many cases, and the farmer
must then determine which of the con-
hietlng conditions should be given the
preference.
Having located the group at a 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 Enclosed barnyard &C.
cupy n space 80 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 a 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
ut night aud left until after milking
time In the morning, while beef cattle
are stood In the stable just long
enough To eat their silage aud grain.
All roughage would be fed from the
racks in the shelter shed.
Both silOs aud all the feed alleys are
connected by means of ali overhead
track, and II 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 is the water
trough In the center of the open shell
ter shed, accessible TO either horses or
cattle, Because there is more or less
dainpness around the water trough,
drainage must be provided TO carry
away the surplus.

The concert given Sunday evening
in the tabernacle for the benefit of the
the Red Cross fund, was one of the
best and most successful financially
that has yet been given. A special
feature of the program was the sing
ing Of the Allied Nations Hymns by
Hugh Dougall, and which was greatly
appreciated by the audience. The pro-
ceeds Of the concert added $71.75 to
the fund for which Cedar was held
responsible. The committee in charge
of the Red Cross work here, have
cause to be thankful to the summer
school teachers for their work in as
sisting to raise this fund. Besides
the two concerts they gave here last
week, they went to Kanarra and gave
a concert.

Cedar City and vicinity exceeded by
1886 the apportionment made for them
on account of the 500, 000, 900 Red
Cross fund. Iron county was asked
to raise $4,000 of this fund, $4,000 Of
which vas expected from Cedar City,
Hamilton's Fort, Enoch and Kanarra,
the other 81, 900 to be raised by Paro-
wan, Paragonah, Summit, Lund, Mo-
dena and all the western settlements
of the county.
On June 25th, the closing day of
Red Cross week, the committee in
charge of the matter here forwarded
to the Red Cross headquarters at Salt
Lake City the sun of $2,336, or 1886
more than the amount assigned us.
Much credit is due both the people
of Cedar City and the local committee
for the excellent showing made. 1t
speaks well Of the patriotism and gem
erosity of the people and of the en-
ergy injected into the work by the
comittee. The principal part OF the
fund accrued from the sale of badges,
which for adults sold from 81 each to
as high as the purchaser felt inclined
to go.
The instructors in the Southern
Utah School of Music also assisted
with programs and concerts, for which
an admission fee was charged.

ton which best meets the conditions
mentioned. the next consideration is
the arrangement of buildings within
the group. As n general rule, the
farmer likes TO have his buildings Sc
arranged that II is possible to see all
Of them from the house. This arrange
ment undoubtedly has its advantages,
especially back and forth between the
house and the stables, IL Is an advan-
tage to locate these buildings ms near
the house as possible without setting
up difficulties due to the transmission
of d~isagreeable odOrs or difficulties in
moving machines and vehicles through
the farmyard. When the stables are
fairly close to the house Ii Is possible
to quickly hear any disturbance among
the stock.
Drainage affects the arrangement Of
buildings since I'm order to obtain salts
factOsy drainage each building must
be placed where the soil conditions
and lay of the land are best suited for
the purpose. The passage Of sunlight
must o be INSTRUCTED. Sunlight Is
the best disease %preventer the farmer
can obtain and his buildings must be
arranged and placed to take advantage
of ii. Another influence is the condi-
ton on which insurance rates are es-
tabllshed. OF course, the same condi-
lions which reduce insurance rates in
crease the safety of the farmer.
The buildings which are entered
most frequently should be closer to the
house than those which are not so fire.
quently entered. For instance. the i'm
plement shed need not be as close to
the house as the dairy, provided 1t is
located in the direction which Will be
taken in drawing the implements to
the field. The granary should be
handy to the stables and provided with
n paved driveway connected with the
highway either directly or by way of
the house. Perhaps the greatest
amount of labor In the farm group CEN
tiers around the general barn and, there
fore, the smaller buildings should be
placed after this more important struc-
ture has been given consideration.
Some farmers use n combination of
barns to house their live stock. The OBJ
ject is probably to definitely separate
the horses from the cows more than
anything else. The illustrations show
a perspective view and plan of "A two
barn combination. The barns are in
tended to be built on the north and
south line, with the open side of the

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 q 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. or 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 peed 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
