visers had enough gumption to keep
away from the old side hill bank barn
style. They set this barn out In the
open where the basement could have
full-size windows on all four sides.
They built a bridge to the haymOw
floor out of REINFORCED concrete. The
~embankment is back ten feet from the
basement wall, and this distance Is
spanned by n REINFORCED concrete slab.
This is the way to build a bridge
and a bank barn without a bank. The
old way makes a damp, dark basement
that is more like a cellar than a SAM
tary dairy stable.
This barn stables 80 cows In stalls.
There are also two stock pens, a large

Of the stable a partitiOned-off wash

TEST BRAKES ON ARMY CARS
Government Makes Thorough Exami.
nation Of Trucks Before Being
Sent to Firing Line.

Uncle Sam Is not overlooking the
importance Of efficiency from every
angle In the motor transport and am.
bulance division Of the army. These
machines must stand a wear and tear
probably never given to motor.driveD
vehicles since their birth as an estab.
lished necessity In every day and in.
ternatlonal life.
One Of the most important factors
entering into the final analysis of a
motortruck ambulance which will
eventually see service somewhere in
France" Is, In the estimation Of mo.
tor war officers, the efficiency Of the
brakes. The motors, especially the
trucks, must travel hundreds Of miles
back and forth from the front amid
the most difficult surroundings. 1t has
been stated on authority that for 300
miles up and down the fighting front
there Is an almost continual stream
of trucks, ~ambulances, couriers and
motorcycles running in such close prox.
unity that unless the brakes are In
perfect running order hundreds of cas-.
ualties would result almost daily.
Brakes form only a background for
their more important sister, upon
which the real burden rests-the brake
lining itself. Thousands Of miles of
brake lining are being used daily by
the government, and owing to this fact
Uncle Sam has ordered tests to be
made Of the various makes. These
tests are now going on In Washington.
Lining made under the thermoid-hy.
draulic-compressed process Is said to
be regarded as best adapted to military
use In France on account Of its moist
ure and dust-resisting qualities.

CULvERT OF BEST MATERIAL
Worse Than Folly to Use Boards to
Take Care Of Roads That Have
Cost Much Money.

If the culverts are not built of good
material they will have to he rebuilt
In a few years, whatever the quality
Of the roads they are made to serve.
Defective culverts vitiate one Of the
elementary principles of highway eco
Monies, and the interests of the tax
payers require that the annual cost
Of every part Of the roads built for
their S be reduced to the lowest pos
sible figure consistent with efficiency.
Manifestly, 1t would be worse than
folly to build c~ulverts of boards to
take care of roads that have cost hun
dreds or thousands of dollars the mile,
and 1t would be none the less foolish,
or worse, to waste money in work Of
this sort with the use of bad material.

PLAN TO IMPRoWsE A JACK
Writer Explains How Wheel Was
Raised by Use Of Rocks and
New Tire Mounted,

The writer recently had the mlsfor-
tune to have the lifting jack removed
from his car during the night and un-
aware of 1t drove into the country
the following day only to have a blow
out occur on the open road. The wheel
was raised first by driving 1t upon a
fiat rock suitably placed. With the
wheel in this position It was a ques-
ton merely Of looking around the road
side for another rock or log which
could be placed under the raised axle.
When found, the fiat rock was forced
out by near Of a sledge and the
wheel thus remained off the ground
ready for the mounting Of the new
tire. Another method which could be
used consists In having one man use
a fence rail to pry up the front end.
This could be done after the Tugs have
been removed so that no time will be
lost in slipping on the new tire and
rim.

permanence. There is little sense in

places which have to be done over In
a few easons
A dairy barn Is usually a rather ex-
pensive structure-tOO expensive to
permit Of making mistakes In planning
or equipping. A dairy barn should
first Of all be a clean and sanitary
place, because here is produced food of
first importance. And. strange as 1t
may seem to some people who are IA
miliar only with the usual type of I'M
handy barn reeking with dirt, dairy
barns can be planned In such n way
and furnished with such modern equip
ment as to make them absolutely SAM
tary and capable of being thoroughly
cleaned at no great cost for labor.
Best interior Arrangement.
As soon as you begin to talk about
how a man should arrange the inside
Of his barn you step OF his toes. Al
most every farmer has his own par
ticular ideas as to the ideal inside ar
rangement of his barn. But in dairy
barns there are two possible ways to
dispose of the cows. 1t is generally
recognized that having two row Of
them is more economical of both space
and labor. The cows may be placed
facing the walls, or they may be stood
with rows facing each other across the
central feed alley. Since there is more
work at feeding the cows than In clean
ing out the manure, 1t seems that the
plan with the central feed alley and
the cows facing it should be preferred
as saving somewhat more labor. Then
the same arrangement lets the light
fall on the cows hind-parts and the
mixer q see whether or not the I'D
der is clean. Likewise, 1t is easier to
see when cleaning the stalls, and the
drainage is better when running from
the center to the outside. Also there Is
less of a mixup in letting the cows In
or out Of their stalls. On the whole 1t
looks as IL most of the arguments favor
standing the cows in two rows facing
each other.
The dairy barn floor must be made
of something that can be thoroughly
and easily cleaned. Many substances
have been tried, but concrete seems to
he by far the most enduring in popu-
larity. The biggest kick lodged against
II is that 1t Is so cold, but the use Of
plenty of bedding or Of wooden plat
forms largely obviates the objection.
Sunlight and Air Essential.
Plenty of sunlight and air are abso-
Iutely essential. No farmer will build

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

The biggest criticism which may be
launched against the building of the
average farmstead is that 1t was done
In a too makeshift manner. The tenn
porary nature of many of our farm
buildings is merely a sign of our agri-
culture. We are not yet settled to
farming permanently-grandson fol-
lowing son and son following father on
the same ancestral acres. We are most
ly explOiters as yet, soil-miners, or per-
haps developers would sound less
harsh. There has always been a place
tout west" to which we could move
when the old place wore out. Now the
day when WI could move onto pastures
new is over and and a new area Is no
longer available. 1t Is time to begin
to build our farmsteads to stay. They
should be planned to last and built for
