THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1926. Dairy Barn Must Be P ' j By WILLIAM A. KAurunu I Mr. William A. Hadford will answer I juestlons and give advice FHKE OF | COST on all problems pertaining to the I subject of building work on the farm. I for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on the subject. Address all Inquiries to William A. Radford. No. 1827 Prairie avenue. Chicago, 111... and only Inclose two-cent stamp for reply. A dairy barn need not be elaborate In order to serve Its purpose most effectively, but It must be properly planned, well built and thoroughly equipped, i Attention to these three points will i usually determine the difference be- i tween a profitable and unprofitable < dairy herd and all are of equal lm- < portance. A well planned barn is one in which 1 the arrangement is such us to afford ' the required space with the least expense for building and to make possible the care of the herd with the least expenditure of time and effort. A properly built barn must afford protection against cold and dampness. 1 give tirst-class ventilation ami admit i an abundance of sunlight. A well 1 equipped barn must be provided with ' those pieces of equipinenVwhlch effect I a real saving of labor and thereby expense, nnd enable the best of care 1 to be given to the stock. They must f be of first-class quality, but should ' never Include elaborate devices of < doubtful practical value. Such a barn Is shown. First, as to 1 construction, tlds barn has the lower ' floor vailed with concrete block, and 1 the floor Is also of concrete. This af- 1 fords the necessary protection against 1 cold and dampness and adds to the 8 fireproof qualities of the budding. 1 The upper portion is of well-built 1 frame construction and the roof Is covered with fire resistant compos! ! tion shingles. Ample ventilation is secured by means of ventilators In the side walls and four foul-air shafts irhlcii carry off all the foul air \ '| |" " ^|j ly - 1 \= I f | 3p p I MhSlh (] |i "6" r? _j 1 O I ? F- : * r~ j Fi 3 [ 1!! through two large roof ventilators. , Windows spaced closely along the walls afford an ample supply of the sunlight which Is necessary for healthy cattle. The plan of the barn can hardly be described without, at the same time, core ring the description of the equipment. This building Is rectangular In shape with two rows of cow stalls extending through the greater portion of Its length. In this particular barn there are 20 stalls In each row, to provide for 40 cows, but the Maine ur rangement can be used as well for whatever number of stalls are required. The two rows of stalls are separated by a feed alley and a feed carrier extends down this, serving both rows. One end of this carrier terminates In the silage ehute which connects two large silos with the baru proper. Back of each row of stalls i Vis a cement gutter which mukss It .visible to keep the stalls clean and per'ectly drained at all times Th- stalls themselves are floored with wood aa i The situation Is saved a little by the fact that It will not, be possible to get an even number of the 13-cent tamps for a $2 bill. The autolst whose driver's Hepnsi is taken away from him by the Judge ts the maximum of punishment. He become* a pedestrian. "Direct heat from the sun" has lon^ been a favorite subject for scientlllspeculation. It still remains withou Influence In a fuel crisis. -cA !XI.? V"' ' " ' r.yj " T"" * H ' rc :. i*ly Planned, loroughly Equipped a cement floor is, of course, unsuitable for cattle to stand on. In tjie litter alley back of each row of stalls there is a litter carrier which provides for the disposal of manure wiih the least expenditure of time and labor. At the end of the barn toward the silos, one side Is divided Into twc pens, a bull pen and a calf pen. At * -i . ,?j. the opposite side is a uuuuie i room with doors from the central alley. Iiroud double doors admit to the barn at the *ar end and similar doors open from the barn Into the shape chute. There Is a smaller out side door Into the silage chute, and ?tlier smaller door-f Into the main part if the barn at convenient intervals The four foul-air shafts are placed lit regular Intervals along the two ong sides of the building. Wood Register Replaces the Old Cast-Iron Type The old-style cast-Iron register for tornace heating is rapidly being p*t nto the background and Its place I* elnp taken by a neat, wooden grille vhieh forms almost a part of the flo* tself Wood registers serve Inlet neeA very satisfactorily. They are suited 'or liner Installation, or In the bnseloard. and are fully as strong as the ast-lron variety. Being made of oak or any other vood, these registers can be made to larmonize with the wood finish of the ooni and color scheme. In base board itair riser, floor, wall, window seat loset door, pulpit or stage front, ihe iquare. rectangular, triangular, round >r curved wooden register fits In oglcally and attractively. The wood used must, of course, be horoughly kiln dried and the meshes in!form to Insure sirength. Installa Ion Is simple. By boxing, wood regis era ran h? used in ntneos where netal radlntors would bo difficult to ilace, and the cost la reasonable. Hints on the Proper Care of Waxed Floors In order to keep waxed floors In tood condition, frequent dnsting with >nly occasional washing is necessary. If the dust is allowed to collect on he floors. It will soon be ground into he waxed surface, giving It a rough tnd dingy appearance. After the dtrl s once firmly attached, scrubbing wUl >e necessary to remove it. and of 'ourse the wax will be removed at the lome time. With a daily dusting, scrubbing Is lot needed. Instead, the floor can te cleaned by simply wiping up with i cloth wrung out of a lukewarm suds. V mild soap will not affect the waxed mrface. If the floor Is allowed to be nine very wet, of course repolishing ivill be necessary, but with a cloth vhich is only moist, the dust' and dirt can be gathered up Just as effee lively without harming the surface. Fresh wax need not be applied? i soft, dry cloth rubbed briskly over he surface after washing will renew he original appearance of the wax. Kitchen Rack Improves Utility of This Roon Little additions of Improvements Ip the kitchen are a good thing to keej In mind. Take a rack, for Instance It can be made In a short hour, yet t will i>e used every day. Those long ungainly forks and spoons, the egj beater and potato masher never seen lo mix well with the cutlery in the' kitchen cabinet drawer. Their proper place is on this rack. Three pieces are required, each a scant Inch thick. Two five Inches lonf two inches wide; the other two inchet wide, sixteen inenes tor a foot) long The pieces are dressed down and th? short blocks fastened with screws through the back to the long piece. These are then fastened to the wall with screws and a number of gnlvan Ized nulls driven In a row along the front of the horizontal piece. This should be plnced over the sink drain board high enough to be out of the way, or wherever It wilt ba the handiest. Fireplace Damper The housewife wantr a Breplaa dntnper which will prevent soot fall lug Into the room. From her poln of view this Is as Important as or mori than the smoke problem. When It l' realized that the fireplace Is used onlj a few months the need for protection against fulling soot the rest of tht year Is apparent. Speeds Up Work Partitions and ceilings that are ea? Ily Installed and d?/orated, ei.able th? builder to speed rp on the wurt ot completing ex forte finish The report that tipping has been outlawed In Russia has a tenditficy to refute the common theory that no oar ever eats or gets a shave. So the Greeks will pay us the $1B,000,000 they owe us If we will lend them $33,000,000? All countries sxs full of that*kind of people. The punishment of a bigamist for having two wives Is Just two years In prison. He feels. Just possibly, that His troubles are coining In oalra. \ H^use and Garage < Cc^^e(^ ?^ l^,. ^* ^...

Chicago, ill., and only Inclose two-cent stamp for reply. Almost universal ownership of aft^ tomobiles makes the parage an Important consideration In the planning of the present-day home. By far the most common arrangement Is a small ! separate building, to combine the j furnge with the house and thereby secure such additional convenience as the accessibility of the garage front the house without going out of doors ! When such a design Is properly handled It is highly desirable, but cttre should be taken to avoid making the garage appear to be an addition mere| ly "stuck on to" the house pvoper j and'also to subordinate It so that It does not appear as too conspicuous a part of the whole design, i This problem has been well handled ! In the house which Is shown with the j aid of a most attractive gateway which admits to the service entrance of the house and also to the garage. The stucco walls, on frame construction, lend themselves very satisfactorily to this treatment, and the shingled portion at the living-room end Is effectively blended with them. Exterior ornament Is strictly limited and simple In character. The gateway, already mentioned, a well designed entrance, the sruall-paned windows, brickwork at the top of the chimney and a panel effect In the gable, are the sum total of the ornamentation. The floor plan shows a most unusual and practical arrangement of the essential rooms. From the terrace porch, entrance Is made Into a reception and stair hall, and from this directly Into the l?*-*e living room. Back of the living room Is the dining room and, In the corner of the building, a sun porch. These living rooms are all well separated from the kitchen and first-floor bedroom as well as from the garage. The living room Is provided with a large fireplace In the center of the front wall, bullt-ln bookcases at one end and French doors opening Into dining room and sun porch. From the reception hall one passes nto a hallway which gives access to the basement stairs, a hall closet, and a convenient lavatory. Beyond Is the door Which Is used as a service en trance and which opens from the entry which also serves the garage. Rack of this hallway Is the kitchen from which another door opens Into rf small rear hall. From this there ire doors opening to a second stairway to the second floor, the dining j room and a pantry with service window Into the dining room. Still another door reveals a bedroom with private lavatory which may serve aa m v : ^ ; >" - - w ' v ? > 4 '. / "* Conveniently Attractive Uuilding L/Ul/ IVI L I | Kitchen [I | m^'jr garage Br^S^iauj n'^ 16-0* ^-f?A or Plan. *n is chlomv *afopbifl \a_ ?l\\ a lor Plan. a most convenient arrangement ot servants' quarters. On ascending to the upper floor we find two large l>edrooms and one smaller one. The large rooms, placed over the living portion of the first floor, are practically identical, and each Is provided with an unusually large closet, with shelves at both ends. The smaller bedroom has a smaller but ample closet, and there are^arge closets In the hall and off the hath room. The bathroom is conveniently j placed at the head of the stairs with- ! In a few feet of all the bedroom doors. There Is a large storage space under the roof adjacent to the garage structure, and a large balcony opening from the smaller bedroom. This bal- i cony Is decked with canvas and could j easily be adapted to use as a sleeping porch. It is entirely hidden from the street side of the house. Concrete Block for Partitions Advised Basement partitions of concrete block or tile are recommended for car rying the weight of the floors and interior partitions as preferable to beams and columns, although for wide spans and heavy structures the latter are obviously necessary. Thp rldd simnnrt nffnrrtoH hv into rlor masonry walls Insures that there will be practically no settling of floors or Interior partitions and consequently little If any cracking of plas ter or loosening' of interior trim. 8uA walls afford fireproof inclosures for heating equipment and fuel, confine steam, moisture and odors and provide isolation for fruit, vegetables or other perishables. Concrete block and tile are much used for both load-bearing and nonload-bearing partition walls, also for fire wall Inclosures. Standard unit? are used for load hearing walls, while special units from four to six Inches thick are often used for oartltlon walls that do not carry loads otbei than their own weight Wider Flooring Present styles of architecture de mand wide plank flooring for use with the early English, early French and Colonial house. Due to lumber havlng a tendency alternately to take on extensive moisture and dry out, one manufacturer of flooring Is producing these wide planks, after lumber hai been thoroughly kiln dried, of a ve neered or laminated construction, to prevent shrinking, cupping, warping, etc. Stucco for Beauty Stucco Is one of the most attractive types of construction and costs less I for the effect given than almost an) other type of construction. Stvcce Is Ideally suited also for the needs of the man who wants to remcdel his house. liiiiiifi n ii in m THE POLK BOUNTY NEWb North Can Plan To I Movement on ] and Magazi Raleigh, If. C.. May 22. ? North Caroltna'8 two" senators have been quick to give approval to the plan . to advertise the whole state and its I advantages?from New Bern to Murphy?through the magazine s and newspapers of national circulation.
