At the same time they are arranged so that tbe herd can be cared for eco- uomically and, consequently, profit: ably. While the time will soon be here when all of the live stock on the farm will be turned out to pasture, this is the time to prepare’ their “win- ter homes. Many farmers will want their ' old bulldings - rebuilt and equipped in the modern way. Other farmers will build new farm buildings for the simple reason that they are the most profitable investments they .can make. The barn is the dairyman’s winter workshop where his animals are producing the, milk he sells. And when:good," weathér-tight buildings ‘in-’ crease-production and cut labor. costs they -become essential to the: success- ful operation of the dairying business. No matter, what sort of a barn or other farm building is contemplated, | , the best method is to consult the archi- tect, “contractor and material dealer. Barns no longer are put up in a hap- hazard manner. "Oh I guess I’ll build a 40-foot farmer: who is ‘successful at one is bomtd to:be at the other. The primé " essential for success in ' “the dairy business is a weather-tight --barn, agranged 80 that the work of |\~ caring for the herd can be done ‘eco- ‘nomifecally and efficiently, and equipped 80 that the animals will be as com- .. fortable in winter as ‘when they, are in ‘pasture.

An unusual barn design is shown'ja ‘the accompanying fllustration. . Here 4 .modern dairy:barn has;beenco pled, with . two shelter and feeding ‘8 nds for beef ‘cattle. The buildings are ar- ‘rangéd so‘that the work of caring for #all the animals can be done easiiy, and the cows and beet cattle will be hous- ., ed. properly.: 7 The datry barn is of standard frame construction set on a concrete founda- tion and fs 36 feet wide anc "2 feet ** “long.® It 18 what is known as a gam- brel roof barn, with the cow suabm in | S S o el B .| = =) = =R = = Lo & = = g8 p z g f 4 [ barn,” was a remark that often was heard some years ago..

New York.—Nicol Schatenstein, & Polish portrait painter, who has just arrived from Vienna, said that the reason why he left the Austrian cap- ital to. come /to America was ' bé- ‘cause of the misery he had witnessed for four years, and his desire to join his family, who are American citizens. He expects: to- become, an American citizén, too. “The worst sufferers in Vienna, 7 the painter said in- an interview, “are those of the middle class; because they cannot afford to pay the high prices demanded for food. The working man is well paid, but he has to spend: it ‘on food to keep himself and his fam- fly. Thousands of the children of the masses have been sent to Italy and Switzerland to be fed, but the unfor- tunate children of the middle class re- main_in. Vienna to share the hunger of thelr parents, When I passed through Holland two weeks ago the working people ‘therg were. giving one guilder, or 40, cents American’' mohey, for the starving children of Vienna. Pay Barber Moré Than Professor. “A barber's assistant. in Vienna,” Mr. Schatenstein continued, “receives 46,000 kroner a year (about $9,000 in prewar days), and has to spend it all to live in an ordinary way. Compare this with the 12,000 kroner paid to professors of the universities in Aus- tria_and the 5000 to 8,000 kroner a year paid to schoolmasters and office clerks. How can they exist ir a city 'where food is scarce and dearer than it is in New York?.I had plenty of money, but did not have an egg once a month, Milk I never saw. Butter was rare and dear. Meat could be had in the restaurants in small por- tions and potatoes on rare occasions.) Bread was scarce and fo poor that only persons with the digestion of os- triches could ‘eat it. - I_could never find out exactly what it was_composed of except that there was scarcely any flour. Wood, straw, rye and dried bushes were all chopped up fine and baked ‘Into a Hard cake to be sold as bread. . “The poor could eat dog sausage, and the rich could buy horse sausage, hut T could never accustom myself to such food. Tnstead, I went hungry o len with money in-my pocket. “During one of the hunger riots in the city last winter, I saw the mob knock a police officer off his horse and shoot the animal. . Half an hour later | thie, carcass had been cut up and -car- Hed off by the faminestricken' citl- zens. Lack of Coal cauul Miury “One chief source of the misery in Vienna was the lack of coal, because the poor could have mneither heat nor light. - The glassware, porcelain and leather factories were unable to keep going because there was no fuel to drive their machinery. Only the wealthy have a warm bath once a week and burnyone electric light for five hours a, day when there is enough coal to'drive the dynamos in the power houses. Multi-millionaires told me that I was a Jortunate man when I was leaving for America, “I was not.in sympathy with. Aus- tria in the war, but I think that fn the name of our common humanity something should be “done for the starving men, women and children of Vienna, especially the middle classes, who are the greatest sufferers. g “Just before T left the capital city the doctors in the hospitals went on strike because scrubwomen received higher pay than physicians or sur- geons. “The peasants in' the country have ‘food, ‘'but 'they will -not: send it to Vienna because they: do not like a so- (clalist form of government. Somé of the best stores in Vienna keep open in the daytime and have fine artistic ar- | ticles: displayed ‘in - the windows, but’ i one enters to buy them the proprie- tor, or.one of: his clerks, siys that they are not for sale. .
