Prodactk®, or rather the labor at tendant upon production, la perf->rmet efficiently, at the l"ast expenditure of labor. To accomplish this labor-sav !nsf equipment is Installed. There la the litter carrier which nerves the doable purpose of transporting feed dire"t to the twi' manners and tak ing the refuse ont of the stable. There are the drinking bowl* at each cOw tu.'l which automatically provide th* cows vlth fre«h ''rlnklng water when ever the milk-making ;>lart HMKIS It. There Is the ventliatlug system that carrier '/tit the foal air which the cow ha* breathed and sticks In the fresh air that she n-eds. There are the stanchions which hold the Animals se curely In their stalls, but permit the greatest freedom of morement And then there is the sanitary steel stall partition. AH of this equipment is found In the modern dairy, barn, and with It dairymen ake performing the regular tasks of\ Caring for a dairy herd at the expenditure of the least amount of labor, whfch means greater profits. The barn shown In the accompanying Illustration Is the modern type of mllk-manofacturlng plant. This barn Is efficiently planned. It Is of the required size to house the cows com fortably and at the same time there Is no ( wa*te space. The building Is wide enough to permit two rows of stalls, a driveway and feeding alley through the center, and litter alleys along each wall. Forty-four cows are held In stanchion*, 22 on each side and facing the central feed alley. Be sides there nre pens, for the ball, the calves arid for three cows. The barn Is 3d feet wide, which Is ari economical width, and 125 feet long. The concrete foundation also provides o concrete floor. The super structure is of plank frame construc tion, with a gambrel root. This method of construction eliminates supporting column* in the hnjr mow above, the stable floor, the roof being self-sup porting. Tho bulldlfig Is provided with lightning rods and suction roof venti tutors, which suck the foul air out of the stable through the ventilating flues. At the far end of the building Is the Weather Strips Will Keep Your House Warm A warm house In winter time 1* practically Impoaalhla without weath er stripping.

The** ttrlps cost very little In comparison with the saving In fuel, the comfort nttiilned through warm home and the economy In cleaners' bills caused through the lessening of Infiltration of dust and soot. Metal weather strips are so firmly adjusted to the window casing and frame that all shrinkage la taken up without Interfering with the eaae of opening or closing, a point highly ap preciated by those who have had trou ble with windows sticking.

The overhead track extends to the feed room, so that the silage may be shoveled Into the carrier and- taken directly to the mangers, where It Is fed to the cows. How the Interior of the barn Is arranged, and the lo cation of the labor-saving equipment Is shown on the floor plan. Cows to be productive must be well fed, have plenty of water and fresh air, and above all things be comfortably. Such a modern dairy barn as the one Illustrated provides all of these features. VJ Many methods have been devised for constructing buildings from precast slabs, bnt the houses, according to their inventor, are unique In that each house built by this method will be different from ♦very other house, even though slabs of the same standardised sixes are used In the construction of all. Distinctive decorative effects, the In ventor explains, are produced by plac ing' a "veneer" of the desired mate rial on the surface when casting,, while different good-sized rooms and walls of varying heights may be obtained by combining slabs of varlouk sizes. All construction work Is performed by ma chinery, the slabs being cast at a cen tral plant, transported to the building site and there lifted into place by derricks. Winter Time to Make Renewal and Repairs Stuc9o cun be applied as an ex terior covering, no matter how cold the tempemture; In. fact, winter Is the best tliao in which to do this wbrk, as labor Is more available 'and, not being rushed, will do a much better Job.

"Hatch Early" and Get More Eggs From Poultry (Trapar*4 br U>« UniUd StatM D«parUn.nl of Afrloaltar*) Profits In poultry raising depend to a large extent on the earliness In the season that chickens are hatched. Be cause of this fact a slogan of the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture has been "Batch Sarly."
