BILE of doing their best work is prime

A medium-sized farm, such as is
found in the central West and other
sections of the country, does not re-
quire a very large barn, unless the
farmer specializes in dairy products.
But every farmer, if he is to conduct
his farm along the lines that yield
him the greatest profit, has a fair
sized herd of cows-a dozen, or more.
If these animals are to be kept at their
most productive stage they must have
a comfortable habitation in the winter
time.
A barn that is adapted to the needs
of a great majority of farmers is
shown in the accompanying design. 1t
is a frame structure, set on a concrete
foundation of the gambrel-roof type.
The dimensions are SO by 80 feet 6

PITCHER is TRADED
FOR BASEBALL BAT
Josh Devore Swaps Most Erratic
SouthpaW in Captivity.
Bill Fisher, Outfielder With Joe Tink.
ers Columbus Team, Tells How He
Lost His Pet Bat-Broken
on First Ball Pitched.

Roger Bresnahan and Joe Cantfllon
once figured in a deal which involved
bird dog and ball player, but here's
how Bill Fisher, now an outfielder
with Columbus, says he lost good
bat in his Ohio State days:
81 was playing with the Charleston
team and hitting the ball hard. had
just gotten new bat--a Miller Hug
gins model-and / swore by It," says
Fisher.
II looked upon that bat as the one
and only magic wand. Well, sir, Josh
Devore, manager of the Chillicothe
team, had the worlds most erratic
southpaw in captivity. That fellow
was so wild it wasn't safe to be in
the same park with him. John came
over to our dugout one day and said,
casual like to our chief: "What'll you
give me for that sterling left-hander
ever there?'
"Taken unawares, the chief says:
ooh, I'll give bat and Doner says
Josh before the chief could realize
what had happened. You'll give. me
the pick of the bats, won't your asked
Josh, and of course the chief says he
would, and I'm a dirty hound If he
didn't go and pick my bat.
"Of course the club had paid for the
bat and / couldn't say much, but i
thought enough to put me in the peni-
tertiary, but before the game was
three innings old / had great joy.
The first time Harry Devore, Josh's
brother, came up he had my bat, and
would you believe it, he broke it right
half in two on the first ball pitched.
But at that we got stung on the deal.
That southpaw's head was just park
ing place for his hat"

a proportion as the prices they are re-
ceiving for their products.
The cost of the barn shown here will
vary in different localities, according
to local conditions. BY consulting the
local building contractor and building
material dealer it will readily be found
how much of an investment such a
barn as this will require. Also, these
building experts can give the prospec-
tive builder much valuable advice
about building.
Building a barn or any other farm
building that is needed is good bust
ness right now. The cost will not be
lower for some years to come, and in
the meantime the farmer has con-

signed so that its interior will house a
maximum number of animals and a
sufficient amount of feed.
As this barn is laid out in the floor
plan that accompanies the perspective.
it will accommodate ID cows and g
horses. The COW stalls are ranged
along one side of the building and
the horse stalls along the other. All

wide enough to accommodate wagon,
running through the center of the
building. Over the feed alley is a
carrier track for the feed carrier. The
track connects with the feed room and
runs directly to the silo, placed at one
corner of the building. This carrier
enables the farmer to carry the en-
!.silage, small grain and roughage di-
,rectly to the managers. Along each wall
of the barn is a litter alley, also
equipped with an overhead carrier sys-

piles at either side of one end OF
the building.
There are reasons, and good ones
too, for this interior arrangement. II
will be noted that the side walls of the
barn contain a number of windows
These admit sunshine, which strikes
the gutter at the rear of the stalls
helping to purify the manure. They
also permit plenty of fresh air In such
way as to not be injurious to the
animals. On either side of the barn
adjoining the doors. are vent shafts fol

foul air. These vent shafts connect
with the ventilator on the roof, suck
ing out the foul air and creating
enough circulation to draw in fresh
air.
The features named have been dis
covered by farm-building architects to
be especially valuable in keeping the
animals healthy and productive. While
it is not shown in this plan, every
farmer who has a water-pressure sys-
TEN extends it into his barn, placing
pipes so that they carry fresh, running
water to each stall. From the individ-
ual drinking cups at each manger the
animals have a constant supply of
water. 1t has been shown that such
equipment increases milk production
more than 10 per cent.
Every product of the farm and the
live stock that every farm has on it
are too valuable nowadays not to be
housed in weather-tight and healthful
buildings. Farm products are bring
ing high prices, not that they are out
of line with the increased cost of pro-
duction, but are high enough so that
the farmer cannot afford to waste
them The right kind of house
means an increased income, as the
damage done by weather and rats and
other animals is considerable unless
the barn and granary are so construct
ed that they cannot get in to damage
the grain, hay, etc.
Just now farmers are in excellent
financial condition to build the build
ings that are needed on The farms.
They will find that costs are higher
than before the war, but building
prices have not increased in so great

MAINTAIN ROAD AFTER BUILT
Improper Methods Have Placed Eco
nomicaI Types in Disrepute,
Says Colorado Expert.

Prof. e. B. House of the Colorado
Agricultural College is a firm believer
in the Importance of maintaining a
road after it is built. He supplies the
following, taken from The Engineer
ing News-Record and says of it 1T Is
so true and hits the nail so squarely
that I quote it direct:
"The tendency in road Improvement
is to select types of roads which re-
quire very little annual maintenance.
The general feeling among laymen
seems to be that when a road surface
requires some annual maintenance TO
keep it in good shape, it is an expen-
sive type and should be avoided. Yet,
If the interest on investment and the
repairs are taken into consideration,
the cheaper wearing surface may in
many cases prove to be the more sat-
isfactory and economical.
ut is not uncommon to see roads Of
a good type constructed and then,
after they begin to show signs of wear,
to see them neglected entirely or some
method of repair or maintenance inn
posed which has been found by long
practice to be defective. When we see
mud holes in earth roads filled with
riprap, crushed stone or cinders, it Is
not the engineers fault that an enor-
nous price is paid for the repair mate
rial; the road engineer knows that
proper drainage, and repairing with
earth from the side of the road, are
the economical methods of mainte-
nance.
sold gravel and macadam roads are
often repaired by filling ruts and de-
pressions with inferior material that
is readily displaced by traffic or
ground to dust. Bituminous surfaces
are often patched, if patched at all,

fell down companion way. 1t would
have been an ordinary accident for
anyone except pitcher. His pitching
arm was under him as he fell and liga-
ments were torn.
Chalmers did not pay much atten-
ton to Che injury until the following
spring when he found he could not use
his arm. He never was able to pitch
many games after that asd in 1915
was sent to New York only to be re-
leased shortly after the training trip.
Pat Moran decided to give him an
other chance and regained him and he
won eight games and lost nine In that
season, but he never was the Chalmers
Of 1911, although once in a while he
did show streaks approximating his
former greatness. He was soon sent
to the minors, when still under the
thirty-year mark.
Pat Moran often said that Chalmers
would have been fully as great as
Alexander had 1t not been for that
damaging tumble on board ship.
Joe Woods Arm Gone.
Joe Wood of the Red Sox was the
master finger of the American league
in 1912 and topped remarkable sea-
son in the championship race by pitch
ing Boston to victory in the lengthy
world series that year.
The strain of that year was SO
severe that Woods arm gave way and
he never was of much account to Bos-
| ton after that. In 1912 he won "a
games, but in 1913 could turn in only
10 wins, quite slump. Later Wood
| was sold to Cleveland and seeing that
he could not pitch again he went into
| the outfield and started a second sue
ccssful professional career, this time
as a gardener. And yet Wood was
only twenty-three years old when he
hurt his arm.
| There are many more instances of
budding young pitchers with fame be-
fore them who were suddenly rustled
out of the baseball arena because they
injured the delicate machinery of their
wings.

IMPROVED ROADS IN QUEBEC
In Five Years Government Spent $751;
774,369 for Development and
Improvement.

The development Of good roads in
Quebec is a subject at present much
discussed from one end of the prov
ince to the other. In the five years
from 1911 to 1916 the Quebec govern
ment spent $15,774,3 1859 for good roads.
The following figures show the num-
Der of miles of roads systematically
maintained by the municipalities Of
Quebec with the aid of subsidies from
the government of the provinces: In
1907, 1000 miles; in 1909, 1900 miles;
in 1911, $500 miles; In 1918, $4,000
miles; in 1916, $4,000 miles. Since
1911 more than 1914 miles Of mac
adam and 497 miles of gravel roads
have been made In Quebec.

NEW MAPS URGENTLY NEEDED
Assertion That Only About Forty Per
Cent of the Country Has Been
Accurately Marked.

It will aStoniSh most people to learn
that only about 40 per cent Of the
100000 square miles of the United
States have been accurately mapped,
and that much of that will have to be
gone over again because of the rough
methods originally used and because
of Typographical change since it was
done.
The authority for these statements
is DR.. e. Lester Jones of the United
States coast and geodetic survey, says
the New York World.
That topography may change much
is illustrated by the fact that Fire
Island entrance, Long Island, N. Y,
has changed it's position four miles in
so years.
In an article on photography in war
time l.. P. Clerc of Paris suggests that
typographical maps of states or even
of whole countries can be prepared
from photographs taken from airplanes
far more simply and accurately than
by surveying.
Dr. Jones points out the limitations
Of airplane photography; this can
scarcely yet help in measuring eleva-
tons, for example, but he says that in
testing the correctness of present day
maps the airplane could be of great
value, as it would be quicker to send
1t through the air taking photographs
of the ground than it would be to
resurvey such vast areas.

cases with concrete. In numDer of
streets and roads recently inspected,
brick was used to patch concrete sur
faces, and concrete used to patch brick
surfaces.
"When careless methods of this kind
are applied to the maintenance of
public highways, the result is that
good type of road is made to appear
unsatisfactory and uneconomical, and
road improvement is discouraged
particularly the cheaper types of inn
provement, which in most localities are
the best if properly maintained 1t is
the utter neglect of maintenance and
the many improper methods of repair
that have nodded public sentiment
against types of roads requiring an
nual maintenance, and have led road
promoters and officials to disregard
many economical types"

Pitching arms are as fragile as Dres-
den china. More than one young fling
er nearing the crest of his career has
had to pop out Of the pastiming be-
cause he was unfortunate enough to
derange his hurting apparatus.
A fresh case bringing this thought
to mind has been the experience of
Ferd Schupp, the brilliant New York
southsider, who in 1917 pitched the
Giants to a pennant by winning "a
games out of % starts and followed
this feat by banking the White Sox
to 0 in the fourth game Of the
worlds series that fall.
Break Down of Schupp.
When the season of 1919 opened Nc
graw thought he had one of the best
pitchers In the country, but something
happened to Schupp's arm and the big
winner of 1917 could only pitch 33 in
nings in the whole season of 1918 and
was officially charged with one defeat
and not credited with any wins.
1t was thought that long rest
would restore the strength to
Schupp's arm, but on the training trip
it was soon evident that the trouble
had not been removed, and while Nc
Graw held on to the lefthander he
finally traded him to st. Louis. This
is rough on Schupp, who now is just
twenty-seven years old, and had big
future and fat pay envelope ahead
Of him.
Case Of Chalmers.
There never was a more pathetic
case Of a pitching career ruined by
an injured arm than that of George
