subject of building work on the farm,
for the readers of this paper. On ac-
count of his wide experience as Editor.
Author and Manufacturer, he Is. with-

Owners of a fairly lurge sized herd
of cows use a born such ns the one
shown above for It provides a com-
fortable stable for the cows, the
calves and the herd bull, u convenient
place for caring for the animals and
storage space for the grain, feed, si-
!ngo and roughage that the cows
need.
Indicated on the floor plan are all
the modern labor-saving and comfort*
giving features that are available for
dairymen. The stable floor Is provid-
ed with sanitary steel stull partitions,
movuhle cteel stanchions, water cups
at each stnll head, pitched glitters for
drainage of the liquid waste, pitched
mangers, so that they may bo hosed
out and Kept clean and a ventilating
system that, no matter what the out-
side temperature, provides the cows
with fresh, pure air, without drafts;
and a feed and Utter carrier.
The barn is 125 feet long and 30
feet wide. There Is a center nlley
wide enough to permit a wagon to be
driven through. The stalls are ranged
along this central feeding alley, the
cows facing In. At the end are four
pens, one for the bull and others for
the cows or calves. Between the
pens and the stall rows Is u driveway
across the stable, with the hay chute
above. This permits the buy wagons
to he driven into the barn and the
hay to be hoisted to the mow floor
through the door in the mow floor.
At the far. end of the bt ilding is a
silo of sufficient size to hold the
silage needed by a herd of about fifty
animals the burn will house. Con-
necting the silo with the hum Is a
feed room.
The building Is set on a concrete
foundation with a comVete stable
floor. The building Is of plank frame
construction of the gambrel roof type.
This eliminates supporting columns
in the mow and makes it convenient
'o handle the hay.
Feed from the silo Is transported
to the mangers by the overhead car-
rier, which also Is used to take cut
the litter, the plan showing carrier
l racks over both the feed alley and
the litter, alleys on either side.
Practical Items That Are
Useful to Home Owners
Small buildings, such as residences,
etc., can he leveled up with a hand-
level as easily as with n leveling In-
strument. Take a lime barrel, or any
kind of a stand will do; pivot the
level on a small block, and when the
level Is lined up with the point that
yon want, take a feather-edged wedge
and slip under the level townrd the
low end. When your hand-level Is
level, sight over the top, and Indicate
lu the target holder by tbe usual sig-
nals, which way to move tbe target.
After you have the first point, repeat
the operation ns often as necessary to
level up the whole building.
A simple way to figure the number
of studding required for the walls and
partitions of a building, from the blue-
prints, is as follows:
Take a plan with a one-four'h-lr.ch
scale; with a rule measure all of the
walls and partitions. In Inches, shown
on Jhe blueprints. Then multiply the
number of inches by three and add
one • for every intersection, and you
will- have the number of studding re-
quired.
The explanation is simple: Every
Inch of drawing represents a distance
of four feet—four feet, spacing the
studding at sixteen Inches o. c„ will
require three studding, plus an extra
one for every Intersection.
The same principle cun he applied
where the scale Is one-elghth-lnch;
tlmply multiply by six Insteud of three.
If the scale Is smaller or larger than
lie two mentioned, the process is me
•ante; of course, the multiplier must
le kept In the right proportion.
Window Sills Keynote
to Color Harmony
Tou have given the outside cf your
home the proper paint protection,
guarding It against the ravages of
ruin, wind and storm. But there are
parts of the house that might be con
sldered us both Interior and exterior—
tbe window sills. They must be
painted to harmonize with the In-
terior color schemes, and they must
he properly puinted to resist the ele-
ments.
All dirt and loose paint must be
carefully removed from the sill before
it Is painted. Three coats of paint
are essential, allowing plenty of dry-
ing time between coats. Thus pro-
tected, the heat of summer sun und
the dsvastutlng moisture of sudden
showers will nut “weather’’ and wear
“way tlie wood of the sills. The ur-
tistlc value of the sills Is greatly In-
creased by painting in harmonious
und pleasing colors.
Stairways as Flues
Cause Draft in Hall
Drufts ure often notjceable on stair-
ways because heuted air rises and
drops as It cools and the stairway
forms a natural flue for this rising
and descending air, the architect’s
small house service bureau explains.
Many times a stalrwny Is located
against the outside wall of a house
and If the wall Is not properly ln-
suluted, the rapidity with which the
air rises and descends will he In-
creased. in this euse the wall should
be Insulated.
DRESSING TURKEYS
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
I he need for tuking speeiul cure In
dressing ami packing turkeys for mar-
ket this year, In view of the abundant
supplies, Is pointed out by the United
Stutes Department of Agriculture,
ihe quality of live turkeys coming to
the Washington market lost season
was generally satisfactory, but muny
shipments of dressed birds showed
carelessness in killing, dressing and
packing, the department suys. Many
of the turkeys, although well-fleshed
and of good quullty otherwise, were
poorly hied, resulting In discoloration,
poor appearance and low prices.
The department commends produc-
ers nnri shippers who kept off the
murket thin or poorly developed live
turkeys, pointing out that such birds
could not hnve been satisfactorily
marketed. The few weeks between
the Thanksgiving and Christmas sea-
sons will give opportunity for birds of
this kind to fleshen and fill out, thus
making them more In deiunnd und to
bring a butter prlee.
Some of the dressed turkeys were
carelessly dressed, resulting In bro-
ken bones, torn skin and bruised flesh;
others Indicated n combination of de-
fects und made It difficult to dispose
of the birds at a price which they
would easily have brought had they
been properly dressed. The depart-
ment urges that the turkeys be care-
fully dressed so that they reach the
market In a neat, attractive appear-
ance that will appeal to buyers.
Many of the birds which have been
well hnndledl were poorly packed.
Shippers should be careful to see that
the turkeys are thorouglNy cooled out
before packing, as otherwise condi-
tions frequently develop that result
In loss of the birds and nearly always
In lower prices, the department says.
If turkeys are not dry picked and
shipped under proper refrigeration, it
Is desirable that they he Ice-packed,
particularly If weather conditions In-
dicate unfavorable changes. It Is
poor economy to take chances with
valuable shipments, and curelessness
In any of the detnils necessary to put
the birds on the market In good con-
dition frequently results In loss and
waste all the way from producer to
consumer.
The Christmas trade Is problemat-
ical, but producers and shippers
should realize that high quality birds
properly cared for are always In much
greater demand than ordinary turkeys
and turkeys which show carelessness
In dressing or shipping to market, the
department says. Particularly when
the commodity Is In abundant supply,
neglect of these detnils results In loss,
inasmuch us only attractive and high
quality produce can he sold to ad-
vantage.
Ventilation Is Needed
for Health of Poultry
Ten hens breathe off more than a
pint of water a day. Are you pro-
viding ventilation to get this out of
the house, or do your hens take a con-
tinuous cold bath day and night with-
out n towel for a rub down? Even
you would get the roup under such
conditions. Watch out for moisture on
the windows and frost on the walls.
Put In 1 square foot of thin cloth cur-
tain to every 15 square feet of floor.
Keej) this curtain open whenever
weather permits. Drafts and damp
air and floors cause more colds than
zero weather. Exercise helps to pre-
vent colds. Light feeding In a clean,
dry litter 8 Inches deep induces ex-
ercise.—O. C. Krunt, Colorado experi-
ment station.
Cure’for Scaly Leg
The oil drained out of the crank
case of an auto is excellent for con-
trolling scaly leg or for painting
roosts, etc., to control mites, says
G. L. Stevenson, professor of poultry
husbandry at South Dakota State col-
lege. A rough, scaly condition of the
hens' feet and legs Is often thought to
be an evidence of ugn, whereas In
reality It may be a diseased condition
brought about by tbe activity of a
kind of mite which burrows under the
8cales of the legs nnd sets up an irri-
tation finally resulting in the condi-
tion Indicated.
Continued Care Pays
Nebraska farm poultry flocks which
had had two years of care and man-
agement by Improved methods which
are a part of the accredited farm-flock
work conducted by the co-operative
agricultural extension workers, gave
their owners an average Increased re-
turn of $81 ppr (lock over the returns
of flocks which had laid this cure
only one year, according to reports to
the United Stntes Department of Ag-
riculture of the work In 1923.
