NEXT: FARMERS
HAVE FIELD DAY
Gathering of 900 or More Expected at
New Haven August 16

The Addison County Grange and the
Farm Bureau will hold a field meeting
in New Haven, Friday, August lG,
which farmers and their wives from all
over the county will attend, it is hoped,
to the number of six or seven hundred.
The idea of the Grange and Farm Bur
eau getting together for such meeting
this year is due to the supposition that
few farmers could probably afford at
this harvest time to spare time and
money to attend two separate meetings,
and one gathering can be made more in
teresting than two separate ones. The
program for the meeting at New Haven
is not complete in every detail as yet,
but the plans are to hold the gathering
on the Conant Farm, which is now run
by Carroll Landon. This is about a mile
north of New Haven street.
In the morning there will be tractor
demonstration with half a dozen ma
chimes shown, and in the afternoon
there will be an interesting and instruc-
tive program of speaking. Mr.. Van
Wagonen "a New York state farmer,
who has recently become a most popu-
lar. speaker at field meetings, will be one
of the principal speakers, Howard w.
Selby, general manager of the Eastern
States Farmers Exchange will tell Of
the work of that organization and what
it can do for the farmer in Vermont. 1t
is also hoped that Richard Pattee, sec
retary of the New England Milk Pro-
ducers' Association will discuss the milk
question. Mrs. Julian A. Dimock, who
is we'll known as a speaker formerly
with the Extension Service, will address
the ladies. Basket lunch. Further de-
tails Of the program next week.

nailed on diagonally across the roof
from one end at the plate up to the
ridge at the other end to act as wind
bracing.
This manner of bracing, when the
sides of the building are tied together
by the boarding, makes very solid
structure up to the plates. There are
great many bolts used in this diago-
nal brace work. In fact, plank frame
barn construction has led to the use Of
bolts quite generally.
Above the plates the design and con-
struction Of this barn are also especial
ly interesting to farmers. The curved
type of built-up rafters is used because
1t makes a very neat roof, and because
1t gives an exceptionally large NOW
space, entirely free from inside truss
work or bracing.
The curve Of the rafters Is taken adj
vantage of to stiffen the roof. These
rafters are built up Of segments cut
from inch stuff, cut to the proper curve
and nailed together sideways, so the
edges of the different strips are placed
out and In.

Gothic roof barns-those with curved
roofs in the form Of pointed arch
are eating to be quite common. There
are few leaders among the farmers
in every community who occupy con-
spicuOus position and who favor the
unique or distinctive type Of farm
building for that reason. These like
the gothic roof barn. Even if the cost
should be a trifie more. they gladly
stand 1t because of the distinction
which big barn of this type gives a
farmstead.
The L-shaped barn with gothic
roof is not so common. Barn builders
