BILE.
The larger combination barn shown
in the accompanying illustrations Is
an example of good practice in the
design of building Of this sort. The
main barn Is divided in the ratio de-
sired, the COW stalls are arranged to
face in and the alleys are extended
through, in the manner already men,
toned. The silos are built q short
distance from the end of the barn
proper, and connecting structure is
built in, which is used for the feed
rooms and the mixing room. AL
though not shown on the plan, most
owners would probably desire feed
carrier track through the center Of
the barn from the, feed mixing room to
the far end Of the building. In addi-
ton to the twenty single COW stalls,
which should be equipped with modern
sanitary walls and stanchiOns, there
are four pens which may be used for
any special purpose desired or neces-
sary. The double horse stalls are
used and harness rooms are as nearly
dust-proof as it Is possible to make
them.
Plenty of large windows are shown
on the perspective view. 1t will be
noticed that there is a small opening
in the wall of the building at the bot
tom Of each pair Of Windows These

If the grain feed is stored, say, near
the partition between the two parts
Of the barn, it would probably be un-
necessary to install feed carrier equip

It is Of primary Importance that the
COW stable be given special attention,
with the object of assuring the best
possible sanitary conditions, which in
fers that lighting and ventilation must
be carefully treated. 1t is assumed
that at least part Of the animals
housed in the barn will be dairy cows.
and it is for this reason that the re-

caution to provide the best there Is in

however, cannot accomplish success

These things have to be mentioned as

taken care of just as effectively. The
most important reason is that 1t pro-
tects the investment in these horses.

If the COW barn happened to be
situated a considerable distance from
the horse barn.. At least one team Of
horses is usually needed handy to the
COW barn, for one purpose or another,
and when 1t is necessary to stable
them in the COW barn, they must either
be placed in open stalls, which is very
poor practice, or a special Enclosure
must be provided for them, which
brings in difficulties in ventilation and
lighting.
Ordinarily, the combination barn has
the stalls arranged along a central al
ley and a tight partition is built be-
tween the cow stable and the horse
stable, sliding doors being provided
at the alleys. The method of placing
the COW stalls will determine how the
alleys are to be used. In case the
cows face in, the central alley will be
a feeding alley, and it will undOubt'
eddy be continued through the horse
stable, where the horses will also
face in. The alleys along the outer
walls will then be litter alleys, and
these also will continue through the
other part Of the barn. The most i'm
portant reason why the two parts of
the barn should be arranged in the
same way is that if modern barn equip
ment is used, its installation is very
much simplified if the barn Is ar
ranged symmetrically as far as the
alleys are concerned. In q combina.

you know we really haven't known
each other so very long. 1t was only
about two weeks, wasn't it, after we
first met that we were engaged? 1t has
been pretty rapid, hasn't it?"
"Well," laughed Jack, "what is the
use of losing timer"
Polly's sister, Dora, didn't like the
changed date any better than the
bride-elect. 1t damaged her plans, and
when Avery Dean called the next eve
ming she confided in him.
"I've just been reading in the paper
today about those slackers who get
married to avoid going in the army.
Aren't they the cowards?" she said.
'They certainly are" agreed Mr.. Az

Goodness! Do you suppose that's
why Jack is hurrying up the wedding?"
asked Dora. ........
Dean looked surprised, then rather
panied.
II would rather you hadn't asked
me. I don't want to give any opinion"
he answered.
(which means you known cried
Dora. ooh! isn't that despicable? l
thought it was an awfully rapid court
ship, and could hardly believe my ears
when she told me they were engaged.

chance myself before Davies appeared

seems I've got to give it up"
"YOu keep up your hopes. All is not
lost" comforted Dora. 'The invita-
tons are not out yet"
Polly, who was away when Dean
called, came in to hear the miserable
news from her sister. At first she
stoutly denied that such thing could
be possible, then Dora's fearful re-
monstrances, the attitude Of Jack and
the unexplained business" which was
to take him away, all lent color to the
dreadful suspicion. That evening
Dean called, was very kindly received
by Polly, and naturally he lost no time
in pleading his own suit.

Polly.
Naturally these little scenes did not
promote a feeling Of harmony, and
Dean began to find his Office Of COM
forter more and more in demand. As
for Davies, he could but notice that
he was becoming unpopular with the
young people, They seemed to avoid
him. He wondered If it was the de-
layed wedding. Did they think he was
the cause Of the changed time? Once
or twice he endeavored to explain, but
his words seemed to be taken either
coldly or incredulously. he did not
know that it had been circulated that
he was Stacker.
Meanwhile Dean lost no time In
pressing his suit. Polly, on the point
of yielding, had several times refused

phone rang. Dora answered it.
