ing cups and hangers. The barn floor
IS concrete contoured to take care of
the cutters in the rear Of the stall and
the manager pits in front There are
also three stalls for breeding cows.
The ventilation system is well worth
attention. Fresh air inlets at the side
along the window ledge draw in a
supply of fresh air continuously. A
ventilatOr on the roof insures a con-
slant supply of fresd air and aids in
drawing off the poisonous gases which
accumulate around the stalls. Ade-
quate lightning protection has been
installed on the high points to pro-
tect the building from fire by light
ming.
Important, however, is the equip
ment that has been used to make the
work of the hired help easier and
lighter. Drudgery in the dairy barn
has long been the bugaboo for the
farmer because it has been the Stun
bling block in the way of getting and
keeping help. This barn is built to
keep help and make them more eff
cient.
The labor-saving equipment in mind
is the special overhead track for haul
ing feed and litter carriers. BY this
method work with wheelbarrows is
eliminated.
This overhead track runs from the
feed mixing room, which is at the end
of the building next to the two 1O-foot
hollow tile silos to the various pens
and stalls. In short, a carrier is load
ed up with silage or grain and pushed
along without much eXertion. An
other overhead track runs along the
litter alley out into the yard to the
manure pit: With this type of equip

Motherl want my winter manners.
Where do you keep them? The IN
sistent demand may be heard when
the frosty mornings begin to be really
nipping. And mother is called from
the kitchen, or from bed, perhaps, to
go suddenly up to chilly attic and
hunt through a collection of boxes
and trunks, from the camphorous
depths of which she will finally sort
out enough underwear to clothe the
family for the day. She always meant
to get all the flannelS in one place,
but somehow it was never done.
Mend Before Putting Away.

dairy products which are always in
demand and which bring a satisfactory
price. The one-crop farm is gradually
losing out because in smost cases it is
economically unsound. If the crop
fails, the farmer has nothing to fall
back upon. But if he raises in addi-
lion to his regular crop, dairy cows
and livestock, he can always depend
upon them for a living.
The dairy herd is the farmers best
friend Day in and day out the cows
go on quietly but persistently produc
ing milk which finds a ready market.
AS long as these cows are well housed
and well fed they will produce. But
put them in a ramshaclxle barn with
yawning cracks through which biting
winds can blow and draughts can
chill, the animals will react unfavor
ably. They are like humans-they
must be comfortable or they cannot
work The more contented the COW,
the greater the output.
Suitable housing is the solution
the short cut to regular return and
large income. In short, real barn
Is needed to make herd a profitable
proposition. And a real barn is need
ed to keep the farm organization in
smooth working order. The success
of a farmer with his help often de
ponds upon the way he handles his
herd.
For the average farm with small
herd, of dairy cattle the barn shown
in the accompanying illustration is
inst what is needed. Here we have

crete foundation, staunch timbers sup

Golden Mosaic Discovered.

A young American, Harry Sternfeld
of Pittsburgh, winner of the Prix de
Paris and student of the American
academy there, has discovered a mas
terpiece of Cosmodi mosaics. They
embellish a great facade of a medieval
cathedral, several miles from Rome,
at Civta Castellana, a place for cen
turtles forgotten, where the genius OF
Cosmodi and his sons is commonplace
because of familiarity.
The design was executed in the year
1910, and shows the influences of the
Byzantine school. The whole of the
facade is rich in color and glitt6rs
with golden fragments of stone. Tie
immense detail in the design staggers
one as he proceeds to examine it close
ly. The top of the loggia is one mass
of mosaic in variegated colors.

STORAGE PLACES CAN
BE MADE CONVENIENT
Care in. Placing Shelves and
Closets Saves Steps.
Keep Each Article Near the Place
Where It Is Most Frequently Used
Corner Spaces May Be UtiI-
lied for Broonns.

In planning the storage places In the
kitchen and pantries the main factors
to be considered are to keep each arti-
Gle near the place where it is most
frequently used and to place the clos
cts, shelves and drawers where they
are easily accessible and easily kept
clean, where they will not be In the
way and where, when possible, they
will utilize space otherwise wasted.
To insure cleanliness, storage places
should be made of good wood, free
from holes, knots or other rOughness
likely to catch dirt and harbor insects.
A further help in making shelves easy
to clean is to leave small space, say
half an inch wide, between the back
edge of the shelf and WALL
Corner closets provide an excellent
method of utilizing space which may
otherwise be Of little value The tri-
angular space is not very convenient
for dishes, but serves well for broom
and cleaning closet. Narrow shelves
sometimes economic space better than
wide ones, for all the articles on them
can be easily reached, whereas on tha
wide shelves either part of the shelf
room is wasted or the things in front
must be moved to get at those behind,
United States Department of Agrfcul-
ture specialists suggest. A shelf not
more than four inches wide will con-
veniently hold spices, flavoring ex-
tracts, baking powder and materials
of this kind.
Fitting deep shelves with shallow
boxes or trays" eight wooden boxes
with sides about four inches high and
with knob or handle on the front
end so they can be conveniently
moved) is often worth while. These
shallow boxes can be filled with bot
ties, cans and other small articles
neatly arranged. To take out the tray,
select the article desired and replace
the tray is much more convenient than
moving a large number of things
about on the shelf until one finds
something which may be. near the
back. 1t also leaves the articles in
much better order. Such device as
this has been tested and it's usefulness
proved. 1t can easily be made at
home.

pear, it is worth while to follow a
systematic plan in disposing of it
now. Everything should be darned
and mended, and all buttons put on
when the garments are stored this
fall.
An inventory of the garments stored
away is suggested by the United
States Department of Agriculture
that is to say, information as to what
and whose articles are stored, the con-
dillon of each, and an estimate as to
what further use may be made of the
article Time is saved by collecting
all the wearable garments for each
person in separate boxes, plainly la
beled as "Mary's summer dresses, good
condition.; Fathers thin underwear,
won't last all season.: "John's blouses,
too small use for William"
Should Johnny need one of those
summer blouseS by any chance during
'Ind:aE summer" it will not be neces-
sary to go through half dozen boxes
and trunks to find it. Moreover,
Johnny, rather than mother, can make
the trip to the attic to find the waist.
One mother put her clothes away la
beled in the spring and then went for
a family visit which stretched out to
unexpected length in the fall. She was
able to ask a neighbor to mail warm
clothes to her. The neighbor selected
the boxes without disturbing anything
else in the attic and mailed them.
One box should receive garments re-
curing alteration or those whose only
use is for making over. A slip pinned
TO each, suggesting the use intended
will save much wondering few
months later 1t is easy to forget that
the white linen will do for Mary if
trimmed with the old blue parts o. an
other dress: a brief note will prevent
such accidents as letting the children
have those old blue pieces for their
dolls.

BREAD AND MILK REFRESHES
Nothing Better to Restore Tired
Moves and MuscIes-Children
Also Relish 1t.

A good, Old-fashiOned bowl of bread
and milk, says the dairy division OF
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, is the very best restorative
at the end of a hard days work. On a
cold night the bread may be dropped
in hot milk, enough to wet it thorough
ly, with just suspicion of salt for
flavor. In England's camp climate
bread and milk is the first thought af-
ter a long tramp or day in the open.
Almost every brain worker, whether
student or professor, doctor, preacher,
or business man, knows the refreshing
tonic of steaming bowl of bread and
milk Most children like it, and moth
ing could be better for them at bed
time or for lunch.

ment installed, it is easy to UNDER
stand how the jobs of feeding and
caring for the animals have been
greatly lightened.
Dairy barns of this type are instru-
mental in a large way in keeping the
boys satisfied and not SO eager to try
out the cities. They find work under
such conditions quite pleasant. And
it is inevitable that the success of
the good barn will convince the farm
er that his house should be just as
modern. The result is a modern farm
home with conveniences.
