cap" as applied to a certain kind vf
paper. One of the explanations is that
when Charles of England found his
revenue short he granted certain priv
ileges, amounting to monopolies. and
among these was the manufacture of
paper, the exclusive right of which
was sold to certain persons, who grew
rich and enriched the government at
the expense of those who were obliged
to use the paper. At this time all
English paper bore in watermarks,
the royal arms. The parliament under
Cromwell made jest of this law and,
among other indignities to the mem
ory of Charles. it was ordered that
the royal arms be removed from the
paper and FOOLS cap and bells be
substituted These were in their turn
removed when the rump parliament
was dismissed, but paper for the size
of the parliament's journal still bears
the name of "foolscap."

ger. These cups supply the cows or
horses with fresh water at all times,
but are so constructed that the water
is not wasted. A valve controlled by
nose piece which the COW presses
down turns on and off the water. A
constant supply of water, it has been
found, increases the flow Of milk some
eight or ten per cent.
From this brief description 1t will be
seen that a modern barn is worth
while on every farm. The barn itself
and its equipment represent a fair
sized investment, but it is an invest
ment that will pay good. big dividends
in actual cash through saving of labor
and increased production. Also there
is the advantage of Tightening the
work around the barn, work that is
done in the early morning and in the
evening, which will enable the farm
er to get better help.

The modern barn is equipped so

one that any farmer would be proud
10 own. Its gabled roof gives 1t
graceful appearance, and 1t looks what
It is-a modern barn for an up-to-date
farm.
The dimensions Of this barn are SO
by 72 feet. 1t is wide enough to pro-
vide space for two rows of stalls,
feeding alley through the center and
litter alleys along each side.
On one side are two sets Of stalls,
one having places for nine cows and
the other seven. On the other side is
a row of nine stalls and two calf pens,
| the larger one having seven hangers.
At the end on one side is the bull pen,
while on the other side is feed room.
1t will be noted by the floor plan
that there are carrier tracks through
the center of the barn, over the feeo
alley and on either side over the lit
ter alleys. The carrier tracks provide
an easy mode of carrying the feed tc
the managers and to carry out the lit
ter. No piece of barn equipment
saves more steps, physical energy ano
time than feed and litter carriers thai
travel on overhead tracks.
The COW stable floor Of this barn, al
with practically every other modern
barn, is of concrete. Set into the
floor at the rear of the rows OF stalls
is gutter, which catches the httel
and enables the farmer to gather II

The face value of coins is not consid-

given in exchange. Theoretically, the

IN THE DAYS OF BEAVER HATS

In the olden days in the United
States soon after the Revolutionary
war, good beaver hat became a
kind of family heirloom, and was
handed down from father to son. For
some strange reason it was considered
to be rather frivolous and extravagant
to be seen wearing a new beaver hat,
and it was the custom when a man
bought one to leave it out in stormy
weather before wearing it, to "take
the newness off"

1t would seem to be stretch of the
Imagination to compare a barn to a
Liberty bond as an income producing
investment. But when it is considered
that a modern barn, equipped with la
bor-saving features will not only cut
down the cost of operating a dairy
farm, or any other farm, and will
make the live stock more productive,
1t can easily be seen that barn pays
dividends just as bond.
