| vary with different localities, the cost
of the latter being governed by the
distance from the source of supply.
While it is economy to build well,
when building, there Is an excellent
reason why every one who contem-
plates putting up new barn should
do it now. While prices of materials
are higher than they were few years
ago. so are the prices of everything a
farmer produces. And there is no
chance that the prices of materials
will come down until after the prices
of foods come down.
The government is making a CAM
paign to promote building. Assisting
in this campaign are the business men
and best citizens in every community.
Buildings are necessary to keep the
country and its citizens prosperous.
And to be prosperous ourselves, our
neighbors must be prosperous. Any
thing we can do and at the same time
serve ourselves should be done, for in
helping others we are helping our
selves.
Farmers as a class are now the
most prosperous people In the coun-
try. They want to continue to be
prosperous, just as every one else
wants them to do, for their prosperity
is the basis Of the well being of the
country. Building will help continue
that prosperity.

effort The farmer who is making the
most money out of his livestock Is
the farmer who has a modern, we'll
built barn, equipped with the labor.
saving devices.
Many farmers are now considering
building a new barn, or hog house,
granary, or some other necessary
building. To the man who wants a
medium-sized barn, arranged so that
modern equipment can be installed,
the design shown in the accompany
Ing illustration will appeal. Here is
barn that in exterior appearance, in
terror arrangement and size will suit
the needs of most farmers. Its d.
mansions are "a by 50 feet, size
sufficient to house II cows and eight
horses, or 20 animals in all.
This is what is called a gambrel
roof barn and will make a fine addi-
ton to any farm building group. How
the first floor is arranged and equipped
is shown In the floor plan accompany
ing the view OF the exterior of the
barn. The rear section of the ground
floor Is set or for the cows; the front
part for the horses and their equip
ment. Through the center of the barn
runs the feed alley, with an overhead
carrier track that runs to the silo
chute. On either side Of the barn
is the litter alley. Connected with the
center carrier track is another that
runs over both alleys, SO that the
manure can easily be taken to the pit
at one side of the rear Of the build
ing.
On either side OF the COW stable are
six stalls while In the horse barn are
four stalls and two box stalls. The
latter can be turned into single stalls,
should the owner desire. The floor
of this building is of concrete, with
cutters at the rear Of the stalls to
make cleaning easy The cows are
faced in. so that their backs are to
the light.

with good supply Of fresh water. are

The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1919-06-13

at the center Of the room. This draws
out the foul air and keeps the ami
mails healthy. From this description
1t will be seen that the stable floor
has been arranged so that the work
OF caring for the animals may be done
without q great expenditure of effort.
The NOV floor Is unobstructed, the
building being SO constructed that
there are no posts required to support
the roof The NOV doors are hung
on tracks and slide down and out OF
the way, while in the ridge is a track
for the hay carrier.
The barn is Of frame construction,
set on a concrete foundation, which
makes it not expensive to build, but
will give excellent satisfaction.
Fresh feed is also requisite for
animals in the winter time. Here is
shown silo in connection with the
barn. Feed now is costly and by cut
ting up the fodder and preserving it
in the silo there is a supply of fresh
feed right at the barn, where it will
supplement the hay and grain.
Kept in a barn like this, where
they can get fresh. air, and be dry
and warm, the farm animals will be
much more profitable than In an old,
drafty barn. The feed that is given
in the winter will go toward fat and
milk, rather than be consumed to
keep the cows and horses warm.
When considering the erection Of a
barn, it is advisable to consult local
architect. Builders save much money
in this way. If there is no architect
available. the local contractor in
these days is a practical architect,
who can advise with the prospective
builder. The cost of such a barn as
this also can be easily ascertaiDed by
consulting the contractor or material
dealer. Prices of labor and materials

The heaviest rains in the state
last week were a Cut Bank, Havre and
Great Falls and contiguous territory,

dispatches from Livingston say that
the hot weather and dry spell was
broken all over Park county by heavy
rain.
The lightest rainfall reported was
from the southeastern part of the state.
Only a slight precipitation was report
ed from Lewistown, owing to the fact
that when last weeks report was made
the rain was just beginning.

was .16 inches. in Billings Is inches,

report was received from Glasgow or
from WibauX. The crop report just
issued by Commissioner Charles d.
Greenfield of the state department of
agriculture and publicity, for the week
ending May "a, states that the only
county in which crops were really
suffering from drouth was Choteau,
although in several other counties win
ter wheat and rye was beginning to
head short and spring grain to ger1ni-
nate unevenly.
The rains of last week evidently hit
most of these counties. particularly
those to the north, and has doubtless
alleviated drouth conditions to great
extent.

Hawaians Made Sacrifices to Their Shark God-Naval Base One of
 Largest in the World.

Honolulu.-With Mrs. Josephus Dan- iels, wife of the secretary of the navy, pressing the button that flooded the structure, the great Pearl Harbor dry dock was dedicated oy Secretary Daniels.
 The completion of this important unit in the navy and army construc- tion program makes this island of the Hawaiian group, Oahu, the Gibraltar of the Pacific.
 The Pearl Harbor dock, work on which was begun 10 years ago, repre- sents an investment of more than $5.- 100000 It is one of the largest naval dry docks in the world
 Pearl Harbor, seven miles from Hon. olulu by railroad, has been declared to be the finest natural naval base in the world. The entrance from the open sea is little more than 50 yards wide. The harbor is divided into three nat ural bays, or locks, with anchorage suf- hcient for the entire American navy.
 Concrete and granite were used in the construction of the floor and walls of the dock. The dry dock is 1 1.029 feet long on the inside 100 feet wide on the floor, with receding walls. When warship is fioated into the dock four 54-inch and two 15-inch electrically driven pumps empty the basin in two hours.
 Surrounding the dock are railroad tracks for travelling cranes, and the large and well-equipped machine shops and foundries of the naval base are close at hand.

 The treaty of 1882. cited at the time of the Pershing expedition into Mexico, as interpreted here, permits Mexican troops to come into the United States in pursuit of bandits who might cross to the American side from Mexico.
 The treaty is said to have originated at the time when American and MeXi- can troops were pursuing the Apache leader, GeroGimo, back and forth be tween the two countries while the In- dians were committing wholesale dep relations

 Contact with Carranza soldiers al- so on the trail of the bandits and a heavy rain which wiped out the fresh trails resulted in decision to abandon the chase. The Mexican federals were encountered by scout patrol, and after q conference, army officers decided to abandon the pursuit until later.

REPUBLICAN MAJORITY CLAIM 4 CURB ON LANDLORDS IS TOO
 FAR-REACHlNG
TO TAKE UP QUESTION LATER
Bill Rushed Through House-Demo- crats Complain Question Was Not Fully Explained to the
 Members.

Washington. D. C.-The bill reported by Republican majority of the agricul- tural committee, carrying out Presi- dent Wilson's request to congress to extend the provisions of the food-con- trol act to include nearly all necessi- ties of life, and placing a penalty of $5,000 or two years Imprisonment for violation, was passed by the house without a record vote and without amendment
 An amendment bringing rent prof. teers within the scope of the law was adopted in committee of the whole, but voted out almost overwhelmingly by the house
 The house, by vote of 200 to A, refused to include the farmers and dairymen. Republican leaders, who were responsible for the defeat of the rent profiteering section sought to ex- cuse their stand on the ground that the inclusion would make the bill too far reaching and would tend to break down the purpose of the proposed law, which. they claimed, is aimed to reach food and clothing profiteering. They said that rent profiteering would be reached later in a specific law.
 As passed, the bill includes retailers, but exempts from the penalty clause any farmer. gardener, horticulturist, vineyardist, planter. ranchman, dairy man, stockman or other agricultIralist with respect to the farm products pro duced or raised on the land owned, leased or cultivated by him"
