Danger Of Disappointment.
Reuters correspondent on the
American front telegraphing Thurs
day night, says:
There may be some danger Of dis
appointment arising from certain
flamboyant accounts OF the fighting
on the American front since these
give the impression Of tremendous
effort with little Roadway.
although no praise is too high
for the way the Americans are
fighting, that fighting does not
suggest hurry on the part Of the
allied command 90 reach particu-
lar destination.
IF tho commanders purpose re-
Quired speed, more guns would be
needed, for by comparison with past
fighting the present operations might
be called gunless, so large has the
roll OF the infantry been. It has been
bitter as possible, and the Americans
have won imperishable laurels, but
the scale Of fighting would not entitle
one 20 expect greater progress from

or out of their stalls. On the whole II
looks as If 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
be by far the most enduring In popu-
larity. The biggest kick lodged against
1t 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-
lutely essential. No farmer will build
dairy barn until he is sure that he
has the lighting and ventilation prob
lens solved in the best way for his
particular location and style of barn.
The problem Of equipment has been
absolutely solved for us by the manu-
facturer, who should be consulted for
ideas and plans as soon as one decides
to build. Valuable aid may be secured
from these manufacturing specialists
and 1t is given cheerfully.
The old wooden fixtures have been re-
placed by sanitary, enduring, attractive
steel tubing, and the simplicity and ef-
fectiveness OF the numerous patents on
stanchions, feed and litter carriers, and
every manner Of equipment beggar de-
scription. The stalls are not large, cum
bersome dust-catchers, but are of at
tractive design and light. The stanch-
ions, instead Of reminding one Of the
stocks Of old Salem town, are of light
steel so hung and joined as to give the
COW almost as much freedom as when
she is outside. They are perfectly COM
Portable and yet hold the COW just
where the owner wants her In the stall.
BY the use of feed and litter carriers
a vast amount Of labor is saved, enough
to pay for the equipment In short
time.
Help is a shy article on most farms.
Therefore anything designed to save
labor is twice welcome.
My advice to the man who contem-
plates a dairy barn would be to take up
the matter with his lumber dealer. You
will find him man ready to gladly

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 sign of our agri-
culture. We are not yet settled to
farming ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS fol-
lowing son and son following father on
the same ancestral acres. We are most
ly explolters 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 we 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

permanence. There is little sense In
building temporary, tumble-down
places which have to be done over In
a few seasons.
A dairy barn Is usually 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
mlliar only with the usual type Of I'M
handy barn reeking with dirt, dairy
barns can be planned In such way
and furnished with such modern equip
ment as to make them absolutely sani-
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 on 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 rows 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, ii seems that the
plan with the central feed alley and
the cows facing II should be preferred
as saving somewhat more labor. Then
the same arrangement lets the light
fall on the cows hind-parts and the
mixer can see whether or not the I'D
der Is clean. Likewise. II is easier TO
see when cleaning the stalls, and the
drainage is better when running from
the center 10 the outside. Also there Is
less OF q mixup IN letting the COWS In

Good Type Of Basement Barn.
The accompanying design is an ex'
ceptionally good example of a high.
grade basement barn, planned and built
in the approved style and equipped
with all sanitary and lavor-saving
dairy stable conyenlences. 1t was built
In Winona county, Mimi, where the
land is rolling and there are a good
many side hills, yet you will notice
that the farmer and his building adj
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-slze windows on all four sides.
They built 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 a REINFORCED concrete slab.
This Is the way to build a bridge
and bank barn without bank. The
old way makes a damp. dark basement
that is more like cellar than sani-
tary dairy stable.
This barn stables IS cows In stalls.
There are also two stock pens, large
feed-mixing room, a feed room ada

Of the stable a partitioned-of wash
room. The foundation wall Is con-

We have gone back. like children. to our

And we have learned the sad and splen-

And home our war-tlred heroes come

ANOTHER BIG MAN ENLISTED

When James A. Farrell, president
of the United States Steel corporation,
was selected for the position of direc-
tor Of operations of the shipping board,
the steel industry felt a man had been
chosen who Is pre-eminently fitted to
handle a Job involving knowledge of
shipping. Through his development of
the foreign trade of the Steel corpora
ton he has acquired information and
experience which will be Of great bene-
flt in increasing the governments ca
pacity for transporting men and sup
plies to the European war front.
Born at New Haven, on February
10, 1868, Mr.. Farrell started his steel
career In wire mill while he was yet
In his teens. While his work in the
shops was considered satisfactory he
gained an early reputation as a sales
man with the Pittsburgh Wire COM
pany. Soon after this concern was
taken over by the American Steel and
Wire company, Mr.. Farrell was made
