the average farm. The floor plan shown
Is designed to accommodate ten
mich cows and twelve horses, besides
considerable loose stock. This can be
changed. however, to suit the needs OF
the owner. For instance. one end OF
the barn can be %partitioned of so as to
have the horses separate from the
cows, which is required by the pure
food laws of some states. When this
is done, as much or as little space can
be set aside for the horses as is want
ed. and the balance devoted to the cow
stable.
This barn has an exceptionally at
tractive exeerior appearance and will
make a fine addition to any farm build
ing group. 1t is of the gambrel-roof
type, which provides a large amount Of
NOW space. The building Is set on a
concrete foundation, with a concrete
stable floor. The balance of the build
ing is of wood.
As in most modern barns the stalls
are placed so that the ANNALS face In.
Through the center Of the building
runs the feed alley, wide enough for a
wagon to be driven through. This
gives the owner an opportunity to
carry the grain feed by wagon directly
to the feed bin, from which 1t is dis
tributed by an overhead carrier direct
~ to the hangers. Along n side OF
the building. back of the horse stalls
Is q litter alley. The overhead carrier
track is extended over this part Of
the barn, which makes the work Of re-
moving the manure easy.
In the arrangement of the stalls here
shown, the cows face each other at
the end of the barn. Between the
stalls is a feed alley, while litter al
leys run back of each row Of stalls.
The hay chute is located In the center
of the building with the feed bin. Each
stall Is equipped with modern stanch-
ions, which give the animals much free
dom and at the same time hold them
securely, while at each stall is an indi-
Vidual drinking cup.

more or less of a problem Of every
man to drive his own machine.
New System Developed.
When the American army reached
France, with the greatly restricted
area of operation. the shorter dis
tances for ordinary hauls, and the in
tense congestion of the roads, 1t was
necessary to develop a military pre-
cision in handling Of trucks, before
that unheard of. The French trans
port was first to develop this pre-
clsion, and its vital need was shown
in 1917, when the enormous number
of over $500 trucks moved an entire
British corps In military formation
into the fighting line. Such a column
meant nearly 100 miles Of length for
the train. And to have this body OF
trucks operating properly the strict.
est discipline was required.
This truck discipline was first sys'
tematized on the French lines by work
and experiments at Camp johnson,
Fla. near Jacksonville. the mother
school of the motor transport corps,
and was soon developed into book
form and standardized for the army.
Thorough Training Given.

however, the work done to train the
drivers in the handling Of their vehi.
cles was far more important. Every
man who went into the corps was
given a thorough training in the opera
ton of the motor vehicles. and while
the Camp Johnston school was work.

The head nurse watched the stretch

darkness bearing between them a ST.
lent. blanket-wrapped figure. Then
slowly and thoughtfully she turned and
entered the field hospital tent. The
pale little nurses aid, CARRIED in the
picturesque blue Of the American Red
Cross, rose and came to meet her. In
subdued whispers, scarcely audible in
the big vacant stiffness of the tent,
she told the story of any changes
which had taken place in the condition
of the boys who lay so bravely silent
on the 80 tiny cots.
"Bartrand, that young infantry Off
Ger In bed No. g., with the bad chest
wOund-he does not seem right" she
said softly. His lips are blue, and he
sleeps so much"
Bring your FASH" replied the head
nurse, as she led the way over to the
dark corner. where, in a bed separated
from the rest, the young Bartrand lay,
apparently sleeping. Leaning over him
lightly, with a mother touch she laid
her hand on his forehead. The boys
eyes opened, dazedly, and blinked In
the glare of the aids fiashlight. Then,
as with an effort, he smiled.
Suddenly the tent flap nearest them
opened. The Scotch orderly entered.

switched 1t off. Without Il word the
aid covered her flash and sprang to

that each window was tightly closed.

In the intense darkness and fearing to

still louder. with more spirit, until his
voice rang and reverberated through

From somewhere In the darkness
the voice of the aid, a trifle shaky,
said 'He thinks he's going over"
Another flash-another detonatlon-

something warm and wet soaking the

flashing on the light, called out:

lar Mechanics.
The wheel is of the regular automo-
bile type with a "a by finch pneu-
matte tire, this size being suitable for
use on both large and small cars. The
axle is either a broken front axle or
a short section of a strong steel beam.
The emergency axle is bent or
dropped, the offset being necessary TO
clear the a~xle-housing flange or brake
drum. The device is attached by
means of two U-shaped clamps and
nuts. The sketch shows the general
appearance and manner of attaching

Cutters are sunk into the concrete
floor back of each row of stalls. The
water system Is used to flush these
daily. as well as the floor. thus keep
ing the stable floor clean and whole
some.
This barn provides three features
that all animals need to be kept
healthy and at their highest point OF
productivity. They are sunlight, fresh
air and fresh water. 1t will be noted
that there are many windows ranged
along each side of the building. These
admit quantities of sunlight. and are
at a height that will permit the suns
rays to hit the litter alley. Sunlight
Is natures greatest germ killer, and by
admitting the sunshine there is less
danger of the spread of disease among
the animals. On the ridge Of the build
ing are two ventilators, which are con-
nected with foul air shafts leading out
Of the stable. These ventilatOrs suck
out the foul air, which Is replaced by
fresh air. The fresh air Is admitted
ut a height that prevents the animals
from being In a draft. The drinking
cups at the stall provide the cows and
horses with fresh water at all times.
Water makes milk, and those who have
put in water cups have been surprised
at the amount of water a cow will
consume while standing In the barn,
and at the increase In the amount Of
milk she will give.
The NOW floor Is clear of obstruc-
ton In this type of a barn, the roof
being supported by rafters only. A
carrier track is run along the ridge
and out underneath the gable at the

TO SILENCE BATTLING RODS
anee to Occupants Of car-Way
to Remedy Trouble.

Where long rods of small diameter
are used for brake connections. and
so forth. particularly on the smaller
cars. the rattle and chattering they
make is a source of constant annoy
ance. There is an easy way. however.
to put a stop to these noises. A coil
spring one-half inch to an inch In
diameter should be firmly attached at
one end to the middle of each rod and
the other end extended under tension
to the frame side member or some 9TH
er convenient point for anchorage. The
tension on these springs will hold the
rods rigid and prevent vibration and
noise.

RULES FOR RADIATORS

The radiator takes so little
care that we are likely to give 1t
even less than It requires. Here
is a simple rule which will give
good results:
l.. Keep 1t full, especially with
a thermo-syphon cooling system.
The less the water. the less the
cooling effect and the worse for
the motor by Overheating.
2. Keep II full when using al
cohol In winter. The smaller the
volume of mixture. the sooner 1t
boils and ~evaporates.
3. Keep 1t full.
