R et e T Pt L X A A S MODERN BARNES M NECESSITY Type Shown Here Has Advan- tages That Will Appeal. LATEST DEVICES INSTALLED _ 1t Is of Gambrel Roof Frame Con- struction With Hollow Tile Foun- dation and Will Accommodate Horses, Cows and Calves. ' By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Mr. Willlam A. Radford will answer questions and give advice I'REE OF \COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wido exporience as Kditor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to Willlam A. Rad- ford, No. 1827 Pralric avenue, Chicago, 10, ‘and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. ‘When planning a new barn the aver- nge farmer has to consider his limita- tions in the way of cost and utility. On the larger dairy farms the dairy barn is built for the excl e use of the dairy herd and no provision is made for other animals. On the general-pur- pose farm, however, where the farmer has a small herd and also a few, horses he generally wants a barn that will take care of both. The general type of dairy barn is needed with/pens for horses. Such is the barn shown here with floor plans. A handsome looking structure, built of frame, with a substantial hollow tile foundation, it has been designed to accommodate nine cows, six horses and veral ves. The roof is the familiar gambrel shape with modern which is nn important factor in:milk productlon.: = “r o v i " “Beeause of the many factors enter- ing Into farm production at the pres- ent time, it pays the farmer to install .the best equipment he can procure at the v beginning. While the initial expen old material,’ the results will soon pay for the difference in cost. Not only will he get better products, but more | of them and at the same time he will be protecting himself against futyre ,desertion of the property which he has ‘worked so hard to build ap. The younger generation has become edu- cated to the advantages of modern conveniences and if they cannot get fhem on the farm they will go to the clties and towns. Undesirable condi- tions herctofore have been largely re- sponsible for this exodus which threat- ens the very foundations of our so- clal érder. Progressive farmers have learned the lesson of well-built build- ings and wmodern equipment. In time | all of the fhrmers will demand the best buildings and the.best equipment. OF INTEREST TO. TRAVELERS Brander Matthews’ Suggestion of a #Guide Book to the British Isles” Is Worth While. Among the “general hints” prefixed to the English version of Baedeker’s “Guide to the United. States” there is to be found a cautiously selected glossary, to enable the wandering Briton to translate the unaccustomed Americanisms he is likely to hear into the corresponding Briticisms with which he has always been familiar. And there ought to be a similar glos- sary in the “Guide Book to the Brit- ish Isles” fop the benefit of the voyag- ing NAmerican, writes Brander Mat- thews in Scribner’s. We may assume that this Baedeker glossary was prepared by Mr. Muir- head, an ]‘hn‘gll.fl]mmu long resident in the United States. It catalogues about roof ventilators and roof dormers pros viding excellent ventilation for both lower floor and hay mow. Fresh air intakes located at the proper intervals about the lower barn floor furnish a continual supply of fresh air, while foul air flues carry off the impure air which is so dangerous in buildings ‘where animals are housed. While barns are built more for utility than appearance it is wise to make them appear somewhat attractive. This building is an excellent addition\to ,any farm. Modern barn construction lays par- ticular emphasis upon interior arrange- ment and labor-saving equipment. These two points should be kept fore- most in mind when designing the buildings. Upon them depends the ef- ficiency of production and the satisfac- tion of help. That is why carrier tracks for litter and feed carriers have been installed in feed and litter al- Jeys. The track rumning through the feed alley runs to the grain. spouts . at one end of the building. The car- rlers are filled from these spouts which tap the grain bins on the floor above. The litter track connects each litter alley with the manure pit on the outside of the barn. These carrigrs have helped to lift a very heavy bur- den from the shoulders of the farm help and the farmer hoys who take an active interest: It is iess liable that they will seek the allurig po tions of the city if modern labor-saving conveniences on the farm make their work more pleasant and give them more time for amusement and pleas- ure. All cow stalls, horse stalls, pens, etc.,, are divided oft by modern steel. stall equipment. The floor is concrete with sanitary manger troughs and. gutters. Stanchions and water cups are an essentinl part of this barn equipment. At one end of the barn® are the cow pens and hox stulls. The offect of this sanitary and eflicient equipment has been demonstrated in the increased production of the ani- mals, Contented cows will not only produce a high-grade miik, but plenty of it. Drinking cups provide a con- tinual source of fresh clean water, a hundred instances of the diverg- ence of vocabulary, and to the untrav- eled American this list is Instruetive; it is an aid to his understanding of im- ported fiction. It informs us that what, we call a “bedspread” is known in England as a “counterpane.”” Our “bureau” is their “chest of drawers”; our “muslin” is their “cotton cloth”; our “calico” i3 their “printed cotton cloth”; our “notions” are their “small wares and our “spool of cotton’ fs their “reel of thread.” It fafls to mentiod our “commuta- ‘tton ticket,” which Is their “season ticket,” and which has given us ‘“com- muter’ to describe a resident-of the remoter suburbs—a word \quite in- comprehensible to the Londoner. It defines Americanisms for which there are no equivalent Briticisms because the things themselves are more or less Wnknown in Great Britain—for exam- ple, “cowboy” and “cuspidor.” + Tt scems to'imply that we always sub- stitute “fall” for “autummn,” “rooster” for “cock,” “deck” for “pack” (of cards), and “wilt” for “wither” and this implication is unwarranted since we use both “fall” and “autumn,” “pooster” _and “cock,” ‘“déck” and “pack,” “wilt” and “wither.” “Ain’t” Stilt- Is Snubbed. The use of the ‘word “ain’t” has never yet have been made ;to have this done. The principal objection, probably,, is that it is used with such a variety of meanings and impartially in all per- son Originally, it probably was an abbreviation for Am Not, the need of one for which is often felt. But we say, “I ain’t, you ain’t, he ain’t,” which means, “I am not, you are not, he is not.” And good grammarians will not allow its-use In correct Eng- lish no matter how prevalent its use may be. —— e An Exception.
