Big Jobs
are gained largely by doing common tasks
uncommonly well.
But to do unusually good work of any kind,
fitness of body and mind are required.
...,., ,
Food plays a big part in this matter food that
contains true nourishment And true nourishment
be it remembered must include certain important
elements which unfortunately are often lacking in the
ordinary dietary especially in white bread. These
elements are phosphorus, iron, lime, sulphur, etc.,
stored by Nature in her field grains, and absolutely
necessary for building strong, vigorous bodies and
active brains.
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
made of choice wheat and malted barley, affords all
the nutriment of these grains, including these important
mineral elements, in form for easy, quick digestion.
Grape-Nuts food is always fresh, crisp, sweet and
ready to eat with cream or milk.
Thousands have found that a ration of Grape
Nuts each day makes for real progress towards the
bigger things of life.

"It's easier to do a thing ycrsclf

Regan, imdprfltandingly.
"And that's tho truth," agreed Mrs
Moran. "But Maggie-ain't to blame,

Fashionable Goods Not Wanted.
That latin-Americans insist on hav

their tasto is Illustrated by an incident
In Guatemala. An old gentleman In
tho Interior, a largo ranch owner, had
always been usod to a certain kind of
necktlo, and asked a local houso to
buy a number of them for him. Tho
houso ordered sovoral from an Ameri
can concern, but tho latter wrote back
that that kind of necktlo had been out
or dato for 20 years, and sent sovoral
of the latest design. These wcro re
fused, however, tho old kind was ob
tained from Europo, and tho American
houso lost what might have been an

By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and glvo ndvlco KllGC OP
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building work on tho farm, for
tho readers of this paper. On account of
his wide experience as Editor, Author nnd
Manufacturer, he Is, without doubt, tho
highest authority on nil these subjects.
Address all Inquiries to Wllllnm A. Itntl

Thoso illustrations show a combina
tion of general purposo farm and stor
age barn with a dairy stablo that Is
entirely soparato except that It has a
doorway connection with tho storage
bam from which feed is carried to tho
cows.
Tho main barn has a largo deep
mow for tho storage of alfalfa and
clover hay and bright, clean straw.
It Is an easy choro to supply this
roughage to the cows by means of
a feed carrier which runs tho whole
length of the feed alley.
Thero aro plenty of dairymen who
object to having hay stored over tho
dairy cows, becauso of tho dust that
floats overywhero through tho stablo
when tho hay is transferred from the
mow to tho cows at feeding time.
Because the storage barn is placed
at one end of the cow stable, the silo
Is built at tho sldo because at least
ono end of the Btable should havo a
frco connection with the open barn
yard. While this arrnngement Is some
what unusual, there is really no ob
jection to putting a silo at tho sldo
of tho stable, because the distance to
travel at feeding time Is about the
Bamo.
Always In placing buildings It Is a
good plan to figure the distance to
travel In doing the work. A few feet
mpre than necessary makes consider
able extra walking during the winter
when multiplied by the travel bad
and forth every chore time.
The stablo has a thoroughly well
mado concrete floor built In tho usual
way with mangers and irou stall parti
tions. The center feed alley, manuro

aro all arranged for the use of labor
caving machinery.
Sanitary stables contain very light
and simple fixtures. Tho object Is
to reduce tho ledges and obstructions
that catch and hold dust and dirt
Iron stall partitions, concreto floor
and mangers, smooth sides and ceil
ings are necessary to hold down tho
bacteria content of tho milk to meet
tho requirements of dairy inspection.
For tho samo reason especial atten
tion Is being paid to dairy stablo ven
tilation. Tho interior of dairy stables is
mado air tight as nearly as possible
Tho supply of fresh air is regulated
by, lntako flues and tho foul air Is
carried off by flues which connect with
flio roof.
Thero Is a sanitary dairy room with
a concreto floor Just outsldo of tho
stable. It is built of two by four stud
ding, above tho concrete floor, and Is
covored with building paper both In
sldo and outsldo. Clapboards cover tho
outsldo and tho Insldo Is celled with
plain matched celling without beading.
There Is no direct connection between
tho stablo and tho dairy room. This

Is arrangod especially to prevent sta
blo odors from flavoring tho milk.
Tho feeding arrangements in this
barn and dairy stablo aro exception
ally convenient. Silago is loaded Into
carriers in tho silo feed room, and
tho other roughage and grain feeds
como from tho storago barn, both of
which nro convenient to tho stable.
To Increase tho storago capacity suf
ficiently to provide abundanco of
roughago for both horses and cows,
the hay mow on ono Bide of the barn
starts from the floor. In old-fashioned
barns this kind of a mow is called n
bay.
Thrro Is stabling for six or ccc.
horsos, nnd tho apace In front of tho
horsos Is intonded for storago of a
fow vehicles. In fact, tho largo barn
has a genornl-purposo floor that may
bo utilised In n good many different
ways. It is a threshing lloor once a
year.
Tho cow stable, howrvor, Is Intend
ed for tho production of largo quanti
ties of pure milk so that no other
business can bo tolerated Inside of
this modern dairy stable.
Outsldo of the main stable Is a
corn crib 3C by 10 foot. Tho InBldo
and ends of tho crib aro made as
open to tho atmosphoro ns possible
by using open work metal sides. It
Is n little cheaper to build n cilb In
this way, becauso thero Is a saving in
material. Thero must bo an air space
between the corn and the solid board
ing of tho barn. This space may bo
secured by placing tho open metal
siding on furring strips to hold tho
corn away from tho solid boarding of
tho barn
Tho foundation of tho corn crib is
concrete, which is tho only satisfac
tory material for tho foundation of
any farm building. Thero Is no ob
jection to working In stono whero
stono Is plentiful, but thero should bo
enough concrete to fill all the voids.
Tho only way to control rats and mlco
on a farm Is to build concrete founda
tions and concreto floors. Rats .will
dig around a stono wall and they nro
very much at home among loose
stones, but they hate concrete.
WORK OF THE SUBMARINE
Undersea Supply Bases Perfectly
Feasible, According to an Amer
ican Builder.
"I do not know whether Germany,
has submerged supply stations for
her submarlno fleet, but such a
scheme Is feasible," said Simon Lake,
tho builder of submarines, In an In
terview. "On account of tho success of Ger
many's undersea craft In t)ielr raids
on English commerce," ho went on,
"I long ago formed tho opinion that
thoy had sucli" stations, and from their
latest threat against British com
merce, I am moro convinced than
over that they have.
"Tho German submarine Is practi
cally a lake boat, In that It Is sup
plied with a diving compartment. It
is easy for a man in a (Jiving suit to
leave tho submarine when It Is sub
merged. . "Tho German submarine has the.
Diesel engine, which uses crude oil.
It is no great problem to have sub
merged tanks for crude oil. I long
ago perfected such a tank myself. As
regards supplies of food, that is a still
simpler problem. It Is only a matter
of packing food In water-tight pack
ages. "Supply stations along tho English
coast would enable a German sub
marine to continue Its activities
for months. These underwater sta
tions would be temporary affairs, and
the supplies would be brought by their

"The largo submarine boat can op

in my opinion, explains the sudden
appearance of submarines in the Irish
sea, attacking tho British merchant
ships." Bridgeport (Conn.) Cor. New

Errors In Shorthand.
A young frlond of mine is engaged
In tho study of Pitman's shorthand
(writes a correspondent), and has Just
told mo of a tragic occurrence which
befell him at an examination. He felt
that he had taken down the dictation
all right, but when he camo to tran
scribe tho shorthand Into "long hand"
ho came to ono curved outllno which
entirely baffled him. It seemed to bo
tho form for either "fish" or perhaps
"efficiency," but either word was en
tirely superfluous to the sontenco in
which it was found. Ho loft a blank
in his transcript and went on to write
the rest of the oxercise, and tlmo was
nearly up whon ho returned to the
troublesomo outline. As ho gavo a
hopeless sigh, gazing sadly at tho out
llno, it suddenly slid away along the
paper. Terror took possession of hlra.
Ho thought his mind must bo going,
nut it was only the outline. His sigh
really had solved tho problem. The
outllno .was an oyolash which had
fallen on tho sheet. Manchester
