Experienced farm building archi.
tccts have learned many things about
planning dairy barns during the last
few years, and the daryman who
builds from these carefully drawn
plans gets not only place 10 which
the work can be done efficiently, but
gets a winter home for his herd that
keeps them warm, healthy and pro-
Guctive. These are advantages that
appeal 10 the progressive business
farmer. for. On the end. they mean de-
creased costs OF production and in
creased profits.
In the accompanying illustration Is
shown a modern dairy barn OF good
size and the silo, which Is a most
valuable feed reservoir. This barn is
what is known us "a "glmhrel roof
barn." Of plank frame construction.
The barn sits on a concrete foundG-
tior. the walls OF which form the
dairy stable. IL is % feet wide and
11G feet long and provides stalls for
- mixers, pens for their calves and
box stalls for the bull, II the owner
has sire for his herd. Above tks
stable is NOW space for sufficient
roughage to carry this number of en-
imals through the winter, while the
silo provided storage for the fresh
food the animals need to continue
Il maximum production OF milk
through the cold months.
This Is a weather-tight, well-venti-
lated structure The stable floor, II
will be noticed is well lighted by the
almost continuous row Of windows In
the side walls. On the roof are ven
tilators, which are connected with
foul-air shafts in the side walls and
which draw the impure air out Of the
stable.
How the four blocks Of stalls are
arranged and the location of the pens
for the calves are shown on the floor
plan that accompanies the exterior
view. The stalls all face feeding
alley extending through the center Of
the barn. At the rear OF the stalls

valenciennes lace insertion, a
shirred tucker, a pointed basq.e

A New York designer made 1t
for Julienne Scott, the Paramount
star, and the idea Of it has created
quite sensation 30 that "Daguer-
reotype" frocks promise to develop
into a fad. AS for the black lace
it is always quaint used with white
but the designers today are not
stopping at black but making use
of dyes to introduce colored effects
in similar ways.
Black insertion alternating with
white is another popular feature
brought out in the "Daguerreotype"
frocks.
