dairy barn layouts which they furnish
free to farmers. Many barn equipment
manufacturers also furnish this informa-
ton without charge.
The first step in the construction of a
dairy barn floor is to clear out rubbish
and bring the area to proper level. All
holes should be filled and if there are any
soft spots these should be tamped solid
The manger curb is usually built first
and it is very important to do this job
right so that steel stanchions will fit
The curb should be S or 6 inches thick
and project about inches above top of
floor level when finished. For the curb
a I:2:3 mixture is recommended. This
means that each sack of cement will be
mixed with 2 cubic feet of clean sand
and cubic feet of pebbles or crushed
rock, Sand should all pass through
Green with quarter inch mesh. Stone
should be clean, rough and vary in size
from one quarter inch up to ~ inches.
Concrete must be placed in form i'm
mediately after mixed and should be
tamped or spaded to make sure that all
holes are. completely filled. o
The stall platform is usually built next
and it is very similar to building side
walk. A 3 concrete mixture is used.
The full thickness of the floor is placed
at one time. This is known as one-course
construction and is generally more salts
factory than two-course work. A wood
float should be used for finishing. 1t
will produce smooth surface yet leave
it just gritty enough so that it will not
get slippery. Do not use a steel trowel
as it is likely to give surface that will
become slippery which is very objection
able in dairy barn.
The concrete Manager can be placed at
about the same time as the stall platform
using the same mixture of concrete. A
Steel trowel is used for finishing manger
so as to get smooth surface for the

What makes your son poster all the

study his geography lesson when he
is at school? 1t may be the lack of
just one thing.
One cold lunch doesn't seem very
disastrous to most of us, but think
of five cold lunches in every week,
and continued for thirty-six weeks.
One hundred and eighty cold meals,
enough to freeze any mans stomach.
Consider just one day of a school
child's life. In the morning he hur-
riedly swallows a hearty breakfast
in order that he may get to school
on time or play with the other young
sters before school begins. He works
with his brain all morning
arithmetic problems, learning to spell
words and trying to remember the
history of the United States. Then

minutes lingering over his lunch, he
is tired of these same kind of sand
witches which too often are dry or
have coating of chocolate frosting
as result of being packed next to
the cake. He decides to eat just the
apple, although that is cold, too, it
isn't dry. He can eat that while he
is playing-so everything but the
apple goes back into the pail.
Baseball, football, tag, all kinds of.
sports keep him busy an hour. The
school bell rings and he tries to make
his brain work again, but the school
room is warm and he feels rather
sleepy. He drops his pencil, rule,
and pen, and teacher commands him
to stop scraping his feet on the floor.

ly, assurances that Europe would

the only assurance which would be

America with the need for remit

to be treated separately and the
American government hopes that
Europe is by this time rid Of the
Illusion Of cancellation. American
sentiment, it is pointed out by Of
ficals, would not permit it and the
most that can be foreseen is a will
ingness on the part of the people
to continue to forego the interest
as they have been doing since the
armistice. Some of the nations Of
Europe-one or two of the smaller
