haymow. One Of the most impor-
tant problems of the barn builder is
the framing of the roof rafters. BY
certain standard methods he can build
a roof that will not only be proof
against the strongest winds and
heaviest storms but at the same time
1t can be so built as to allow for
high NOW with no posts out in the
center of the floor.
On the lower floor are located the
stalls, 40 in all. A driveway cuts
through the barn in the center, short
dimension, and provides means of
entrance for trucks and other vehicles
loaded with hay and other supplies to
be stored in the NOW above. Each
stall has window providing light and
air to the animal occupant. The rows
of stalls face in toward a central feed
ing alley running the length OF the
building at right angles TO the main
driveway. These stalls are steel with
steel stanchions and hangers. The
stall floors have been paved with cork
brick TO provide soft restful surface
for the animals. The main floor is
solid concrete, contoured so as to pro-
vide cutters in the rear OF the stalls
for drainage and litter and pits for the
hangers in front of the stalls.
Along the side walls at various inter
walls are foul-air shafts for drawing
off the poisonous air which accumu-
lateS very fast These shafts are con-
nected with roof ventilators which
supplement the natural ventilation
provided by windows, etc. Fresh air
inlets along the stall floor provide
constant supply Of fresh air currents,
which keep the animals stimulated
and consequently in better condition
for more production. Another i'm

portant parts of. the milk. In cold
days, there is no need for driving the
animals out TO a trough which Is
covered with ice.
The equipment In this barn for re-
lieving the farmer OF some OF his
heaviest work is also interesting. You
will note over each litter alley and the
feed alley between the stalls that
there is an overhead carrier track.
This track is used to carry away the
litter from the stalls to the manure pit
and, In the case of the feed carrier,
10 carry the feed from the feed room
to the various stalls, eliminating all

In addition to the stalls there are

Golden Pennies.

Sir Robert Horne's forecast of a
return of the gold sovereign to COM
mon circulation may recall that the
first regular gold piece struck in
England was-a penny! This became
part of the currency in 1857, and
weighed about 40 grains, being the
equivalent of 20 of the contemporary
silver pennies. Its prototype was the
benant, gold piece belonging to
Byzantium, which had been current
for centuries, but the English penny
was far better executed coin than
its original. II appeared but once
in our coinage and only two or three
examples have survived. No one in
England will be sorry for the dlsap-
pearance of the paper currency of war
times.-Montrea Family Herald.

AMERICANS LOSE
ON GERMAN MARKS
At Least 1904. OOO, 900 Gone-New York

Losers

BOSTON. Oct. 3.-America has lin
vested" the colossal sum of $500. 100000
since the war i'll German paper money
now almost worthless. America paid 10
America bought 10000, 100000 paper
marks ut an average of l ID cents 4
mark. S12 a thousand. Today paper
marks are below 40 cents a thousand.
America has left what may be worth
$J6.000,000. Not more.
The victims in America of this stupen-
dous folly, the most gigantic financial
900. About one-third of the loss is rep
resented by stocks and bonds bought in
Germany with marks.
New York city alone has lost, sunk
without trace of recovery. S22, 600 900 Of
the $24O0O0OO she paid for German
paper marks. The Bronx bought prob
ably a half billion marks, one-fourth of
the 2,000000,000 credited to absorption
by that city and its environs.
Ten million buyers of paper marks in
America il the estimate. Four out of
five of them speak the German language
as an inheritance of birth, parentage or
the ancestral or local influences of child
hood.
This total of investors means that 10
out of every 10 men, women and chill
dren in the United States own or have
held in trust for them an average of Ger
man paper marks which cost SlUO at 81
per 1000 in 1919-1921. That 500 is
worth only $3.50 today.
One interesting aspect of the canvass
of the big cities is the refusal of bank
ing men in Boston to tell anything about
what this city did to itself in buying the
paper money of the late enemy An
other city, full of bankers who certainly
handled bales of paper marks and still
has them, is Milwaukee. Many of her
big brewers bought at the rate of
100000 paper marks each.

marks and is one of the biggest losers
