Styles in winter coats, launched at
the beginning of the winter season,

there has been no need for the intro
duction of new departures In them.

the farm center. Not only is this
building house for his live stock, but
II is the warehouse wherein he stores
the raw materials that the animals
turn into salable foodstuff.
There are numerous features OF the
modern barn that make this building
profit producing. 1t is a well-built
structure that defies the cold OF win
ter and keeps the cows and horses
warm. At the same time it is pro-
vided with a system Of ventilation
that gives the animals fresh air. with
out cold drafts. II has plenty Of win
dOws to admit sunshine. And IL is
equipped so that the work OF caring
for the animals can be accomplished
with a minimum OF labor. thus saving

The barn shown here was designed
for a farmer who not only keeps
fair-sized dairy herd, but breeds horses
for sale as well. II really is n horse

barn is similar to that In the horse
barn. There are 20 stalls aud two
large pens. Here, also, the animals
face a central alley, which has an
overhead carrier leading to the sllo
at the end of the barn. This provides
an easy method of transporting the ST.
lage to the hangers.
The mows are large enough to pro-
vide space for the storage Of the hay
and other roughage the animals the
barn houses will consume during the
months they are kept indoors.
While they are not indicated on the
floor plan, a majority of the barns built
nowadays are provided with individual
drinking cups at each stall head.
These give the animals an opportunity
to secure fresh water whenever they
want it. Fresh water is especially
valuable for the cows, as II has been
proven time and again that constant
supply greatly increases the flow Of
milk, without reducing it's quality.
While there may be few farmers
who go in for raising horses as extern
sively as the man for whom this barn
was designed, II Is an easy matter to

been done i'm the way of developing
a market for rabbit meat in these
countries indicates clearly the large
possibilities for progressive growers
IN the United States. The shortage of
meat furnishes an opportunity which
should be made highly profitable to
the rabbit grower.
Another economic phase OF the
question is indicated by the fact that
meat produced at or near home saves
freight and several profits. The ex-
ample OF Europeans and the experience
of breeders in America alike indicate
that the utility rabbit, particularly if
grown near the market, can be made

are seven breeds OF rabbit which come

mails. They are comprised in three

Giants, the Belgian hares. and the
New Zealand red rabbits.
Feeding Problem Simple.
The problem of feeding the rabbits
is relatively simple. In every garden
there is feed that is apt To be w0sted
unless 1t is given to the rabbits. Dan
delions are pest in lawns, but they
are excellent TO feed, with alfalfa and
clover and oats or other grain, as also
leaves of the burdock, yellow dock,
and other weeds and prunings from
apple and cherry trees. The construc-
ton of proper housing for these ami
mails Is relatively simple. The United
States department of agriculture Is
prepared to furnish advice on the
breeding and marketing of rabbits and
to offer practical suggestions regard
ing their feeding and housing.

TO arrive at the same goal. Uncut Boz

are covered by braided pattern that
enriches even this luxurious material.
The most voluminous Of all muller
collars snuggles up about the throat
and a narrow belt OF the fabric draws
attention to the fact that there Is
such a thing as waistline, without

perstructure is of wood frame con-
struction.
The hollow clay building tile is the
choice OF many farmers for stable
walls. The hollow spaces In the tile
act as an insulation against both heat
and cold. Tile Is easily laid up in the
walls, and is so constructed that the
mortar courses are broken. shutting
out the moisture that often goes
through masonry walls. In the corn
belt, especially I'm Iowa, hollow clay
building tile is quite generally used.
The floor plan that accompanies the
exterior view OF the barn shows how
the stalls are arranged and the loca-
ton Of the storage rooms. There are
stalls for eight horses on one side OF
the horse stable and for seven animals
on the other. The stall heads are
along a center, or feeding alley. The
animals face away from the windows,
bring the litter alleys along the out
side walls, where they are exposed to
the sunlight that penetrates through
the windows. This is a sanitary ar
rangement because sunlight is a germ
killer.
In the walls of the stable are foul.
air flues leading to the suction ventl-
lators on the roof. These fiues are
placed scientifically so that the foul
air is drawn out of the barn and is
replaced by fresh air from inlets.
Over both the litter alleys and the
feeding alley there is an overhead car
rier track. A litter carrier provides
a labor-savlng method of taking out
the litter to the manure pile beside the
shed at one side ot the barn. The
track of the feed carrier extends to
the center of the barn, where the hay
chute is located. The hay is thrown
down from the NOW and carried di-
rectly to the hay racks at the stall
heads.

Demand for Rabbit Meat.
Experience In more recent years has
proved, however, that rabbit raising
for the purpose of supplying tie meat
trade is profitable. City and suburban
jewellers are raising rabbits in back
yards. Although the total production
is as yet comparatively small, II is
steadily increasing. In such scattered
sections Of the country as California.

souri,, the domesticated rabbit is rec
ognized as regular meat animal.
Rabbits are shipped alive to market
In crates or are neatly dressed ready
for cooking and are packed in "a san
itary manner for transportation.
There are numerous Instances Of
profitable rabbit raising. A resident In
Kansas City, Kans.. has raised 300
TO 400 pounds OF ranbit meat for use
on his own table, 1T a cost of about
half the present meat prices. A large

Further evidence of the marketing
possibilities In rabbit raising are to
be found in the experience Of France

countries. In the greater part Of
