ones built practically in thsir entirety
at one time. This fact Is to be regret
ted, since the smaller farmer, II he
cares TO do so, may consult with the
builder and building material dealer
and plan his farm in just as systematic
manner as that used for the largest
farms. Progressive building material
dealers In farming communities In all
parts of the country are rapidly equip
ping their offices with all kinds OF lit
erature and various other helps which
are at the disposal of the farmers.
Builders who are interested In farm
building construction are studying cata-
logues, textbooks and building Jour
nails so that they will be fitted to offer
useful suggestions to the farmers who
come to them for advice on building
subjects. This building service need
not be limited to the farmer who Is
planning new farm. 1t is just as use
ful In the development Of farm which
has been established and is growing

ties. The advice TO farmers-all farm

Coming back to the gothic roof barn
shown In the accompanying lllustra-
tons, let this structure serve as an IL
hstration of what the appearance OF
such a structure may be. Clean cut
lines are responsible for the neat ap-
pearance. The appearance of group
of buildings modelled as this pattern
may easily be imagined.
This barn is 80 feet wide by AZ feet
long and II is arranged as horse barn
with haymow above the stable. A
building designed as a COW barn would
be made a few feet wider In order that
plenty of space would be available for
two rows of stalls and three alleyways.
The length of any barn may be varied
to increase or decrease Its capacity,
but the width remains constant. Win
dows are placed rather high in the
horse barn, hinged to swing in at the
top for ventilation. In the COW barn
arrangement when used as dairy
barn, the windows would he made
larger and a special ventilating sys-
TEN would be installed.
There are eight double stalls, a box
stall and harness room shown on the
plan. If the capacity of the building
were to be increased, 1t would be
in incremeuts equal to the
width Of a single or double stall, as
preferred, until sufficient capacity
would be obtained. The harness room
is carefully incIosed to make 1t as near
dust-tight as possible. 1t pays to give
harness little extra care. during these

The progressive farmer is careful of
the appearance of his farm. Whether
this Is because of the fact that he
knows 1t has an effect on the sale value
Of the farm, because of his personal
pride or because Of the influence of i'm
proved farming methods and santa
ton, makes little difference. 1t is suf-
ficient that this tendency is in force.
Naturally the appearance Of the build
Ings will determine very largely the ap-
pearance of the farm.
Some of the best farms are built ac-
cording to definite plan which prede-
termines gust where each building Is to
be placed, the type of building which it
Is to be and the style of all
Of the buildings is made to con-
form to selected standard. The
scheme may even be carried to
a conformity between building ma
terials used. The most noticeable man.
ner in which farm buildings may be de-
signed to follow selected style is in
the shape of the roof. The roof of a
barn constitutes a large proportion of
the total external surface and its shape
will, therefore, have a decided effect
upon the appearance.
There are three principal types of
roof which are used on farm buildings.
These are the pitched or gable roof the
gambrel roof and the gothic roof. In

400 pounds. The grains II properly
cured, are not broken by this pound
ing, although 1t would crush to pulp
any other cereal. From these NOR
tars the rice is removed to flour
screens, where the whole grains are
separated from the flour and chaff.
During the various processes the rice
becomes heated through friction. and
at this stage 1t passes into cooling
bins, where 1t remains for eight or
nine hours, 1t Is then passed over
brush screens, where the smaller rice
and flour are separated from the larg-
er kernels. The grain Is now ready
for the pollsher. to give 1t the pearlJ
luster.
The polishing Is done by friction
against the rice of pieces of moose
hide or sheepskln, tanned and worked
to wonderful degree of sOftness.
These skins are loosely hung around
the sides Of revolving cylinder con.
structed OF wood and wire gauze.
From the polisher the rice goes to the
separating screens, which grade the
rice for the market.
Rice is member of the grass fam
lily, and there are numerous varieties
cultivated throughout the world. AS
1t is the principal food Of a large pro-
portion of the earth's population. rice
growing is one of the oldest agricul-
tural Industries known to man.
The average annual imports Of
cleaned rice into the United States
is about 125,0O0,000 bushels, and that
Of broken rice, flour and meal, over
T0,000,000 bushels more. The demand
for the better qualities of rice in this
country has always exceeded the sup
ply, and now that this country has
been called upon to feed large pro-
portion Of the warning nations, the
rice growers of the South and of Cal
ifOrnia are assured of ready mar.
ket for their supplies.

Floor Plan.

structiOn is exceedingly simple. The
gambrel roof has the advantage that
1t Is adapted to the various forms of
plank frame construction, which Is
type of construction that has replaced
the heavy timber and beam barns in
many parts of the country. It's princi-
pal advantages are that 1t requires no
lumber having a thickness greater than
two inches, 1t may be framed by a
small force of men because there are
no exceedingly heavy members to be
raised into place and the hay NOW
space Is unobstructed except for the
purlin posts and the main truss chords,
which project only few feet into the
NOW. The gothic roof may likewise be
classed as a plank frame structure.
There is absolutely no obstruction of
any sort in the NOW of gothic roof
barn. When properly braced with
diagonal strips spiked and bOlted
across the studs and rafters it is very
strong type Of construction.
The gothic roof would be selected by
the farmer who wishes to make his
farm appear distinctive. Buildings
having this type Of roof are character
iEed by their neat appearance and in
most localities they are out of the or
dinary. This matter of appearance, to-
gether with the structural advantages
already mentioned. are sufficient to
recommend such barn to any farmer
who wishes to follow a plan somewhat
different from the usual layout found
on farms throughout the country, 1t is
noticeable that the farms which are
carefully planned usually are the large

SHOULDERS FOR
ALL STATE ROADS
Improvement is Planned by the
COmmissiOn-Highways are
Too Narrow.

The State Roads Commission will ask
the next General Assembly to provide
an appropriation with which to con-
struct shoulders for all highways which
have been improved and which will be
improved in the future. The improve
ment will be urged on the ground that
there is a general demand for wider
roads. Another argument will be that
many accidents can be avoided by the
addition of the shoulders.
The commission will also recommend
that more stringent laws to regulate
use of the state roads by heavy motor
trucks which have been destructive and
costly.
The work of building improved roads
through incorporated towns is progress
ing rapidly. Half dozen towns are
now witnessing the work. This i'm
provement has been retarded by the
failure of the several towns to make
provisions for smooth-surfacing the
space between the roads built by the
state and the pavements.

Heavy Demand For COrdwoOd
This Winter.

The Maryland State Board of Forestry
in a bulletin just issued says:
All indications point to an eXtraordin-
airy demand for fire wood this coming
winter and probably also for the follow
ing winter. This is due to the increase
in cost of coal and particularly to the
difficulty of securing it, especially in
the small towns, owing to the shortage
of cars. This difficulty is certain to in
crease. The situation offers a splendid
opportunity to farmers and woodland
owners generally to cut and utilize
trees killed by the Chestnut Blight,
tops and laps resulting from numbering
operations, as well as the taking out of
inferior trees in the nature OF trimmings
and improvement cuttings in the
woodlands.
One of the great ,hinderances hereto
fore to the practice of good forest
management has been to find a market
for this low grade material, and the
probable demand for fire wood seems
to offer solution. Wood cut during
July and August should be sufficiently
seasoned for marketing the latter part
of this winter, while dead sound wood
may be cut even later and will likely
find profitable market.
Those who can cut wood for next
winters delivery would do we'll to make
arrangements with the local wood
dealers or directly with consumers in
the towns so as to contract for the
output in advance.
The State Forester, Baltimore,
Maryland. will be glad to assist those
who are likely to have any quantity of
wood for sale and to give advice or
find market for it. Upon application
the Forester will go over the wood
lands of anyone in the State, advise
him on the ground as to its manage
ment, and where trimmings or improve
ment cuttings are advised the Forester
will mark a sample acre or half-acre
as a guide in the work. This is done
without charge except the actual travel
expenses,

in order that the election of their sue
cessors may take place at the regular
election in 1919. instead of at the con-
gressional election next year, when only
national issues will be involved. The
constitutional convention of 1867 in fix
ing the terms of judges at Is years
overlooked the fact that the election of
their successors would fall in even wears
when presidential and congressional
elections occur. AS result the General
Assembly has been called upon in
numerous cases to extend terms for one
year. This practice has been possible
under an enabling act passed in 1880 for
a constitutional amendment, which was
approved in 1881.
This amendment provided that after
the first election of judges under the
Constitution of 1867 there shall be held
in every fifteenth year thereafter an
election for judges.
