The successful farm is one that has
the most modern types of buildings
and the latest labor-saving equipment.
In view of the alarming tendency of
the youth to leave the farm as soon as
he feels his ''Oats," progressive farm
ers are trying to make the farm as
attractive and as efficient as possible.
In short they are endeavoring to give
the hired man time for recreation and
amusement. The days of drudgery are
passing. And modern buildings with
equipment that makes the work a
pleasure are the principal factor.
In the farm building scheme there
is no building more important than
revenue day in and day out. Crops
may be poor, and unless the farmer
has his dairy herd to fall back on,
he will be out of luck. But with a
good healthy herd of milk producers,
he is sure of an income regardless of
weather or crop conditions. For that
reason he should give the dairy barn
in which he houses his cows a great
deal Of attention and study. Many
elements have to be considered.
An excellent type of dairy barn
embodying most of the important
features of barn building craft is

The First Photouraph.

Eighty-one years have elapsed since
the first Photographic portrait of liv-
ing person was taken.
This historic daguerreotype picture
still in existence in Ameriea-was of
a Miss Dorothy Draper, daughter Of
Professor Draper of New York. The
process was then so slow that the sit
ter's face was covered with white pow
der, the exposure being about 80 min7
utes, and in bright sunshine! "a
One of the greatest Photographic
booms was in 1857, when a Frencl
duke had his portrait placed on his
visiting cards in place of his name.
Disderi, the Partisan court photogra,
pher who made the pictures, sa "
money in the idea, and very soon it
became the correct thing for every
person to present his friends with hi&j
"carte-de-visite."

corridor give an idea of the nature
of the-objects which have been found
and of the customs to which they
testify.
Here, outlasting their wearers by
centuries, are sandals woven of yucca
leaf, yucca fiber and cotton, and here
the very pattern boards over which
the sandals were made Here, prac-
tically untouched by time are orna-
ments of shell cut into discs, and
beads of turquoise and of shell.
There are arrow points of jasper, bone
avis and needles and fragments Of
painted wood - ceremonial boards,
doubtless.
The basketry is of two types-coiled
and twilled-some of it in an excel
lent state of preservation. Then there
are cylindrical netted discs padded
with corn husks. These are puzzle
to the museums Investigators. Some
one advanced the theory that they
might have been used as snowshoes,
but the small size and unsuitable shape
of some of the specimens seem to re-

When Paris Was Resieaed.

When the Germans closed jim around
Paris in 1870 the French capital was
isolated from the world save by bal
loon communication, and very rare
escapes through the walls and the
lines.~ In the Washington Star of No
vember 2, 1870, is printed an extract
from a letter received by Washing
tonian that day from Paris by the bal
loon route,aas follows: 1--WE have now
been 81 days invested by the German
army and completely isolated from the
rest of the world, so that we know
little or nothing of what occurs be-
yond our walls. Our, citizens are de-
termined to make an energetic de-
Tense and have plenty of provisions
and ammunition for several months.
An army of 100000 men is being or
ganized here, which will be ready to
cooperate with our relief forces now
mastering in the provinces. M be-
ing a National Guard, is on duty at
the Notifications "a hours out of 49,"

Another important feature Of mod
ern barn equipment is the drinking
cup placed in front of each stall. Here
the COW can drink at will. AS we all
know plenty of good clean water Is
needed to produce milk. The more
COW drinks the better the chances are
for increased production. Moreover
it eliminates the driving of the nero
twice a day to the water trough. In
the cold winter days this trough IS
often covered with thick layer OF
ice and the water is too cold for the
COW to drink.
Good buildings and modern equip
ment work two ways. They make for
contented COWS, which means increased
milk production. And just as impOr-
tant in these days Of acute shortage IN
farm help, they are largely respon@s
BILE for satisfied help, because they
eliminate many of the old tasks that
were absolutely unnecessary, make
all of the work easier, and enable the
men to finish their tasks in time to
spend an hour or two fishing or
swimming. In the warm sultry days
this hour of rest and recreation Is
worth a whole lot.
Only when farmers throughout the
country adopt this line of progress and
build comfortable, clean, and efficient
buildings will they find relief from
the present conditions which threaten
to tie up the country's food supply.
In building dairy barns Of the type
shown here and installing modern
equipment and using machinery the
farmer is not only benefting his hired
help but he is insuring prosperity for
himself in greater production.

shown in the accompanying fllustra-
ton. 1t has been designed to hold
large herd and house them under ideal
conditions. Rising from a substantial
foundation of concrete, it's first story
is concrete block up to the wall plate
supporting the hay now. Above this
it is frame construction supported by
stout trusses and covered by a heavy
waterproof gambrel-shaped single
roof This barn has a large stall
floor and abundant storage space
above.
One of the important features of
dairy barn of this size is ventilation.
This is amply provided for in this
barn by means Of foul air fues and
windows which let in germ-killing sun
shine, the greatest disinfectant known
to science. The foul air, which is
warmer than the fresh, rises through
these fiues and is carried off while
fresh air takes it's place. The vent1-
lators on the roof provide a source Of
fresh air.
The barn which is SO by 96 feet has
been arranged so as to have two rows
of COW stalls facing in toward a CEN
trail feed alley. The floor is concrete
and so laid as to provide cutters and
Manager troughs. These stalls are of
the latest design and equipped with
stanchions that are easy for the COW
and yet restrict her to certain limits.
Modern managers of steel or concrete
with partitions prevent greedier mem
bers of the herd from taking more
than their share. 1t also permits the
farmer to lay out definite rations in
individual cases.
4 At the end of the barn are the
special pens for the bull, calves, and a
feed room. Two silos have been built
outside. In keeping with the idea OF
making this barn as efficient as posi-
BILE and also a pleasant workshop for
the men, carrier track has been in
stalled over all, the aisles. In the cen
ter aisle feed carriers can be run di-
rectly from the feed room or silos
and stopped in front of each stall.
Similarly litter carriers installed on a
track which runs il. back of each row
of stalls enable the hired man to
carry away the litter without breaking
his back over a WheelbarroW.
