time is required to care for the live
stock and more time can be devoted
to the work in the fields. Besides, Ia
Dor saving equipment tends to make
the help more contented to remain on
the farm, which is point the pro-
gressive farmer is not overlooking.
This is the year of farm building.
The farmers business has become one
of the most important in the scheme
Of existence, and, likewise, one of the
most profitable, if it is conducted eff
ficiently and economically. And there
is nothing that brings about this happy
result more than well-built, we'll
planned and modern buildings.
While the cost in money this year
is more than 1t was during the years
preceding the war, some bright mind
has figured out that when the price of
buildings is figured ins terms of farm
products it is much less. In other
words it requires fewer bushels Of
wheat, corn or oats, or less of any
other of the things produced on the
farm to build barn or home than
it did three or four years ago. And as
the cost of everything is relative, the
farmer has no cause to hesitate If he
needs new farm building.

racks and the overhead carrier system.
The feed racks are movable and can
be constructed by the carpenters who
build the barn. While they are placed
under the carrier track for conven-
fence, they can be transferred out
doors, in good weather and taken into
the barn In bad.
The stalls will accommodate four
teen horses or cattle and provide
them with the comforts that these
animals need to do their best work,
or to be at the highest state Of pro-
ductivity. The windows admit plenty
of sunshine and keep fresh air cir
culating through the barn. These are
two essentials if the animals are to be
kept healthy, especially the cows.
The construction Of farm buildings,
homes, barns, hog houses, granaries,
chicken houses and the smaller build
ings the modern farmer wants and
needs, has undergone many radical
changes during the last few years. Az
chitectS have made an intensive study
make it healthful place for the live
stock, and have embodied the results
of this study in the designs for these
structures. The prospective builder
will make no mistake in consulting an
experienced architect when he plans to
erect any sort of a new farm building.
From the architect and from the con-
tractor and material dealer can be
gained some valuable pointers.
Poor farm buildings are a bad in
vestment. If they are to house the
livestock they must be so equipped
and so planned as to keep the animals
producing at top speed, or the profit,
at the present prices Of feed and labor,
will be lost. Labor, too, is big ex-
pense item on the farm nowadays,
and by installing in the barn a litter
carrier and other conveniences less

Cities Go Nest.

Henry Watterson says cities have 6
strange tendency to move west. They
do, writes "Guard" in the Philadelphia
Press. !.
Europe's three largest cities, Lon
don, Paris and Berlin, have distinct
~ moved west from their Original
centers.
Tokyo, which is Japan's biggest
city, and Canton, the metropolis Of
China, Calcutta for years the capita
of India, and Cairo, the largest city
of Africa, shifted westward.
South Americas two principal
cities. Rio Janeiro and Buenos Aires
couldn't well move East and they
grew inland, as did Boston, Philadel
phia, Baltimore and Chicago.
New York expanded north and east
as it couldn't leap the Hudson on the
west.
If you examine the records of Penn
sylvania's chief cities, you will FIND
that the center Of population in most
of them has travelled toward the set
ting and not the rising sun.

Vegetation Carried Far.

Evidence of possible lOng-dfstance
plant dispersion could doubtless be
picked up on many coasts. N. Colgan
reports to the Royal Irish academy
that for two centuries observers have
been finding tropical seeds along the
Atlantic coast Of Ireland from Done
gal to Kerry Head, and it is conclud-
ed that these have come from the
West Indies without human aid.
Eight species of fruits and seeds have
been recognized-an native or natur-
allied in the West Indies and known
to be capable Of floating on the water
at least a year.
