WHY SADNESS IN OLD AGE7
Too True That the Two Things Are
Frequently Associated, but
Should Not BE.

II Ia a common belief that as a per
son advances In years ne becomes not
only a wiser but a sadder man. That
one should gain knowledge as he grows
older Is thoroughly in order, but that
he should become increasingly bur-
dened with the cares Of life and sad
dened because OF hopes that have not
been fulfilled Is not a necessary condi-
tion.
II Is true that the clouds that gather
about the setting sun do take sober
coloring from an eye that has kept
watch in mans mortality. to para
phrase Wordsworth bit, and that the
thought Of constantly lessening activi-
" and prospects which age entails Is
enough to make enc pause and consid-
er. But consideration that goes far
enough win reveal that all time. wheth-
er OF this world or another, Is an un-
ending opportunity for progression.
After all. the whole matter of age Is
something that has to do with the mind
rather than the body. And when the
body begins to fall, when gray hairs
appear, the step becomes less springy,
sleep more difficult and Joy In things
that used to please an impossibility,
sadness should not be the result.
The mind Is a great crucible which
receives and transfuses In some fash
Ion Impressions from all the objects
and facts of life. The will Is the mas
ter which determines what the trans
fusion shall be. A man can let his will
relax or he can keep 1t active, regard.
less Of age He can make Of his ex-
istence a heaven or a hell. whether he
be old or young. rich or poor, in a
favored spot Of the earth. on desert
soil or fallen on evil days.
Exercise Of the win cannot at last
stave or death, and II may not induce
prolonged health or material welfare.
But II can aid In all these things, and
entirely regardless Of Its material ac-
compllshments, the win that Is kept
properly on the alert can lead him In
hope.
"Oh. well for him whose win is
strong"
For him whose will Is weak, or rath-
er allowed to become weak. there is
Joy neither in a sunset nor sunrise.
And even the bright light Of MONDAY
WIN only dazzle and bewilder, rather
than encourage and inspire.
The strong will sees endlessly, "be-
yond the sunset and the paths Of all
the western stars" 1t strengthens a
man IN hope and leads him to see un.
limited possibilities as the years pass.
Sadness Is the last thing that ought to
characterize age.-Kansas City Star.

TOO MUCH FOR THE 0CULlST

work being uone IN rne easiest way, Is
q profit maker for its owner. The live
stock are healthier and, in the case of
the dairy farmer. are more productive.
At the same time 1t costs no more to
secure this extra production and the
profits that go with It.
With the costs of operating a farm
rs high as they are now and with the
prices of the foodstuffs for man and
beast that the farm produces at the
present level, savings in labor and pro-
lection of crops and live stock are
well worth considering. A ton Of hay,
a buShel of wheat or corn, and the
health of the animals all mean money
nowadays, and are worthy Of being
housed In buildings that will protect
them from weather and rodents.
This is particularly true with regard
TO the dairy herd, and the winters
supply of feed for 1t. A well-construct-
ed barn is essential to the prosperity
of every farmer.
In the accompanying Illustration is
shown the type of barn that is popular
in the corn belt, especially in Iowa,
where the farmers are extraordinarily
prosperous. 1t is a gambrel-roof build
ing, constructed of hollow building
tile. While this kind of a barn costs
more to build than plank frame build
ing It will prove economical in the
long run because 1t is practically in
destructible.
The hollow tile is plastered with ce-
ment up to the window siIls. Another
strip is plastered two feet above the
windows. which gives the building a
finished appearance. The gambrel roof
also adds to Its appearance and gives
the greatest amount OF NOW room.
The stable floor is Of concrete. As
will be seen by the floor plan, one Sec
tion of the stable is for cows and the
other for horses. The COW stalls are
ranged along the two sides of the build
ing and are separated by a driveway
or litter alley, which extends through
the center of the building. The feed
alleys are along either wall, and for
this reason the silo is placed at one
corner. An overhead trolley track runs

LITTER ALLtr

over both the litter alley, for the re-
moval of manure, and over the feed
alleys for the distribution Of feed.
The stalls are of steel, with either
concrete, steel or wooden managers. At
the rear Of each Of the rows of stalls
is a gutter sunk into the concrete floor
and connecting with drain. This per
mits Of washing down the stall floors
and flushing the gutter.
At the end of the barn four-horse
stalls are provided in the floor plan,
but they are of sufficient size so that
more animals can be housed. This
section also has a concrete floor, gut
ter and stalls of one Of the materials
mentioned.
There are no posts in the NOW
floor In this type of a barn, leaving
all the space for the storage of rough
age. The ventilator shafts are in the
walls, leading from the foul air intakes
In the stable to the ventilators on the
roof.
From this description Of the interior
of the barn 1t will be readily seen that
the work of caring for the cows and
horses can be done with the least
