A Good Comeback.

Tom Moore, the poet, was the son
of a Dublin grocer. Without any push
ing on his part his genius and his I'M
affected manner made him a welcome
guest everywhere. All Tn don went
mad over him. On one occasion at a
banquet he had made some brilliant
witticisms. A snob, thinking to humil-
late him, leaned over the table to the
poet and quite audibly said, in a drawl-
ing tone:
"Pway. sir, wasn't your father a
grossah?"
Moore snilingly replied that he was.
Then pway," continued the snob,
"Why didn't he make. grossah of
you?"
Moore quite affably retorted,
"Wasn't your father a gentleman
"Of course he was," was the rejoin-

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 a part of the animals
housed in the barn will be dairy cows,
and it is for this reason that the re-
quirements just named are so neces-
sary. Indeed, it is a far-sighted pre-
caution to provide the best there is in
lighting and ventilation in any barn
housed, for the money spent in this
way is returned many times in the
improved health Of the animals, which
means higher sale value, and in the
greater ease with which the work IN
the barn may be done. The secret OF
maintaining good, clean air in the
stables is, of course, in removing the
animal waste as quickly as possible.
Even extra effort in this direction,
cannot accomplish success

quickly remove what polluted air must

These things have to be mentioned as

most important reason is that it pro-

If the cow barn happened to 4be
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 it 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 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
feeding alley and it will undoubt-
edly 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, it's installation is very
much simplified if the barn is ar
ranged symmetrically as far as the
alleys are concerned. In a combina-

In the accompanying illustrations is
an example of good practice in the
design Of a 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 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 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 1t is possible to make

PLACE OF MEAUx IN HISTORY
s-sttIe French City Is Nearest Spot TO
Paris Trod by Germans in Their
Advance of 1874.

The little French city of Meaux, near
Paris, has gained an immortal place
in history. 1t marks the high tide of
the German advance in 1914, the near
sst spot to Paris where the Prussians
trod. Thus far the advance patrols
penetrated, and here they were re-
called to swing off in the great detour
that ended in retreat. over Meaux
flashed the German Taubes, looking
down in puzzled misunderstanding at
the endless scurrying line of Partisan
taxicabs that bore the French SlXth
army to the front to save the city. 1t
was something new IN transport, this
army IN taxicabS, and the Germans,
accustomed to do all things By rule,
went so far aStray as to interpret 1t
as a rush of the people of Paris to
surrender themselves to the invader.
Near Meaux you see one of the most
significant things in Europe-the first
grave. Less than 30 lxilometers from
Paris this unknown Frenchman fell.
Over his body is a bare oblOng wire
fencing off little white cross. There
are literally millions of these rude
graves dotting the pleasant plains of
northern France, but this is the near
est of them all to Paris itself. A little
farther and you find them scattered
more and more thickly, and now some
of them are capped by black crosses
instead of white, to mark the spot
where a Prussian lies. And over the
bodies of German and Frenchman the
lush crops are crowding in, for this
section of France is being intensively
cultivated as no region has been be-
fore.
A few kilometers northward and
eastward is the first of the great mon
uments raised over a common grave,
where the dead lie by hundreds. The
French engineers have erected many
of these. They tower up in the fiat
land as the memory of those who lie
below will tower in the minds of fu-
ture generations. The wheat may rus
tie green about them and the traffic of
peace flow by, but the countryside will
be forever hallowed by the memory of
a crisis when nameless men laid down
their lives wholesale that a nation
might live.
