Two large ventilatOrs are placed in
the roof to provide for the carrying of
Of all foul air and there are many win
dOws along the sides to provide the
fresh air and sunlight which are 80
essential to healthy stock as well 40
the comfort Of the men who most care
for the stock and barn.
The usual doors are placed at each
end OF the barn with the central lit
ter alley providing straight drive
through. There are also two small
doors at one end. one ors:Ilrig into
the bull pen and the other into q
feed alley and another email door
in one side near the opposite end. At
one end Of the barn there are two
horse stalls at each side Of the en-
trance, and the litter alleys behind
these may be closed by means Of
tending across the barn from the
small side door, Beyond this passage
are the rows Of COW stalls on each
side Of the litter alley. Stalls for
nine cows are provided in each row,
and these stalls are Of the modern
steel type. Cutters behind the stalls
assist In keeping them clean at all
times and litter carrier may be run
down the center Of the litter alley to
facilitate the disposal Of litter
AT the end Of one row Of COW stalls
Is a calf pen. 8 feet by 10 feet. and at
the end Of the other row bull pen,
1Oh feet by 10 feet. Both Of these
pens have doors opening from the
center alley.
The silo Is placed at the corner
Of the barn nearest to the calf
pen and directly opposite the door
into the feed alley. From It q feed
carrier rack may be run into the barn
and along the two feed alleys at
the sides to serve all Of the stalls with
the least possible manual labor. Above
the stock floor of this barn is a large
loft which provides plenty Of storage
space for feed for all the stock whaeh
this barn will house.

Good Roof on Home
Is Real Economy

Much has been written and much
but one can never emphasize too
much the Importance of choosing a
roof which will withstand the hard
usage of the climate in which the
building Is constructed
The old-fashioned wooden shingle In
most communities Is almost thing of
the past. Indeed, most progressive
cities and suburbs have passed fire or
dinances which forbid their use. These
ordinances name any number Of prod
ucts which can be used, however, such
as the newer manufactured shingles
which have made their appearance
in the last few years.
Most Of these shingles have, in ad-
dition to their practical fireproof quail
tiles, the added attraction Of beauty.
Where, in the past, the builder had
only the choice Of the wooden shin
gle which turned black in a season
or two, he may now put on his home
roof Of beauty as well as quality.
Many roofing concerns maintain
service departments to which a pros
pective builder may 60 and get ad-
vice as to what color would go we'll
with the style Of house he is to build.
At any rate, few minutes with your
architect will keep you from making
the mistake of putting roof that Is
an eyesore on q house that Is other
wise perfect.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD

Mr.. william A. RadfOrd Will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all problems pertaining to the
subject Of building work on the farm.
Cor the readers Of this paper. On &C
count OF his wide experience as editor,
author and manufacturer. he Is. with
out doubt, the highest authority on
the subject. Address all inquiries to
william A. Radford No. 1927 Prairie
avenue. Chicago. ILL.,. and only inclose
two cent stamp for reply.
II la nct at all uncommon to see
silos built Of monolithic concrete con-
struction, concrete blocks or tile. but
complete barns Of this type are rare
in most localities. There Is no reason
however, why such construction can
not often be used to advantage. It
possesses many qualities which recon-
mend it, the most conspicuous of
which is, Of course it's fire resistance.
This is a point which can we'll be
given serious consideration. A fire on
the farm usually means a total loss.
and often spreads to other farm build
ings besides the one In which it orig
mated.
This construction also does away
with the necessity Of periodical paint
ing which is required for the preserva-
ton Of most buildings. An exam
pie of this construction and It's neat
and permanent appearance Is shown
IN the illustration. Here Is barn
which Is suited to the needs Of the
moderate sized farm. 1t provides for
the care Of 1S dairy cows, calves, bull
and horses.
The foundation Is Of concrete and
there is also a belt Of concrete ut
the level Of the ceiling. This breaks
the expanse Of wall in manner which
adds greatly to the neat appearance
of the building. All Of the outer
walls, except where the concrete is
used, are of tile construction and the
sile Is of the same material. The
roof is also Of highly fire-resistant
roofing material, though any of the
usual types of roof may De applied.

House Framing

Wooden houses built in the Colonial
period were framed with heavy men,
bers Of carefully selected timbers.
Frames were braced so as to give
would throw the walls and floors out
Of alignment. In present-day framing
we use smaller pieces with a larger
number of them than in the old type
of framing. 1t is possible to get with
these as permanent construction as
we find in the old buildings. This
means adequate bracing and good nail
ing. Do not omit sheathing or sub
flooring. Bridging and bracing are an
insurance against failure.

Location of Switch

A good thing to remember when
planning the electrical equipment OF
the new home is to have the switches
for the various rooms located near
the entrance used the most. This is
just little thing, but will do away
with much "cussing" later, and quite
q few barked shins. Another good
plan is to have an arrangement
whereby the hall and basement lights
can be turned Off from my floor.

Insulation

Too many home builders regard in
sulation as an unnecessary part of any
but the frame house. Whether your
home is of frame or Of brick, stone,
concrete or stucco, you will find
proper insulation a most valuable part
Of it's construction

SIMPLE MIXTURE FOR

Simple buckthorn bark magnesium

Interior Hardware

The locks on the inner doors Of the
home are just as deserving Of atten-
ton and careful selection as those for
entrance doors. Too many builders
think that any hardware will do for
the inside doors, mistake that often
and extensively comes home to
roost." Watch the selection of your
interior hardware.
