and both the horse and cow stalls are
arranged and built according to the
best farm building practice.
Stables Well Lighted.
1t will be noticed that there are a
good many windows placed to light
the stables from every direction. Light
In a modern stable Is one of the most
noticeable improvements. Old-fash-
Toned dark, dlngy stables were dirty
and loaded down with foul air. Pure
bred valuable farm animals have
caused the change.
Building barns to stable animals
worth from 800 up is a different
proposition from the old buildings
that were considered good enough to
stable animals worth from $50 down.
The high opening through the shed
is the entrance to the barn. This ar
rangement gives a convenient thrash
ing floor for oats when the crops are
heavy and overflow the other barns.

In his cable message to the Ameri-
can Red Cross asking 1t to undertake
the work Mr.. Hoover says that mil.
lions Of men, women and children are
facing shame, suffering disease and
some of them death for lack of cloth
ing this winter.
"They must be helped" he contin-
ues. Il hope the Red Cross will under
take renewed campaign to obtain the
clothing in America. 1t can come only

magnificent results, bringing in fully
5000 tons of clothing In good cOndi-

these war-ravaged people are to get

Blocked felt hats, 1t is thought in
some quarters, will come In for a big
portion Of popularity next winter for
the reason that so many women have
gone into business and are dressing
either in uniform or In very business
like clothes. Really the only hats that
look well with these trig clothes are
those which are blocked, and, while not
exactly stiff, still have deal of for
mality and dignity about them. A new
one was seen, in beaver felt, with a
high crown and narrow brim that
rolled at the back and tipped down
over the face at the front. 1t had a
single ornament of the same shade at
the left side front, and not even a
band around the crown. This hat would
have made lovely finish for a blue
serge suit and Its wearing possibilities
would have been boundless.

certain seasons Of the year such as
during seeding time In the spring and
also during the fall blowing. Farm
ers that use during these seasons as
many as ten horses say that a good
barn for them is the best kind of
economy. 1t keeps the horses In fine
condition and makes 1t easy to regu-
late their feed and take care Of them
so that they can work ten hours day
IL necessary.
By building a special barn II is pos
sible to provide the various conven-
fences such as feeding devices, manure
carriers, etc. that help In making the
handling and conditioning Of the ami
mails very easy work.
The stable shon.d be large enough
to hold the horses that are needed
during the busy season. Concrete Is
not satisfactory material as a gen.
eral rule for the stalls Of horse stables
as shod horses are apt to slip and per-
haps injure themselves. It is very de-
