Those fanner* who have gr*_.d Jook-
ag farm buildings take as much pride
them ti tbe autolst doe* In a hand-
some automobile. But aside from the
fatisfatflon that modern buildings

jrsctlcal *ide to having up-to-date

in the stable to the ventilators on the
roof.
From thi* description of the Interior
of the barn It will be readily seen that
the work of caring for the cows and
term can be done with the least
I emooat of effort. The feed and litter
carriers eliminate many steps In car-
rying both feed and manure, while the
addition of a fresh-water system will

each stall, or to a tank set at on*
end of the building.
The advantage of building of hollow
tile is twofold. The air spai-es in the
tile provide Insulation, which makes
tbe barn warm in the winter and cool
In the summer although the herd Is
housed little during the hot weather.
I: also Is practically indestructible, and
Is fireptoiif. When fireproof or a
Crt-wistant roofing is used. th< re is
little danger that ihe building will be
damaged by flames.
The silo in connection with a bollow-
tl!e Utrn usually Is constructed of the
same material. In this construction it
is practicable to put u water tower on
top of the silo, which will furnish all
the pressure needed to carry fresh wa-
ter to fill of the farm buildings.
It will be noted that there Is an
abundance of windows in the stable
wall. These permit the entrance of
