ABSOLUTELY NO WASTE SPACE Trussed Roof Provides for Utilization of Entire Upper Part of the Struc ture Doors of Modern Build Ventilation and Feeding Arrangements Perfect. By WILLIAMfA. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Hartford Wit answer questions and Klvo advice KHKK OF COST an all subjects pertaining to tho subject of building work oft the farm, for the renders of this papr On account of his wldo experience aa Editor, Author and Manufacturer, ho is, without doubt, the hlKhest authority on all these subject.

Thoro aro thousands of farms all over tho country tlint nra not large enough to support n complete sot of barns of all the vnrloiia klndn that are In uso, so the solution of tholr problem lias In tho combination barn. The combination barn 1b duslgnud to han dle a dairy herd, and the horses that aro needed, under tho samo roof. A heavy door separates tho two parts of tho barn. Combination barns are made In many different sizes, but as a general rule only the smaller sizes are built. If a large combination barn Is to be built It is better to -earrange the plans all of tho most modorn construction. Doublo sliding doors aro usod In tho gablo for placing hay In tho mow. Those doors aro placed on slanting tracks closo up under tho oaves, where they will bo protoctod. Being on tho outside of th barn they aro notr In tho way and do not tako up valuable space in tho mow. All the other doors into tho stablo Rro Dutch doors, Tho upper and tho lowor halt opon soparatoly. The ad vantage of this type of door is mora pronounced In tho summer than in tho wlntor. In tho summer tho upper door can be left opon so as to Insuro a Rood circulation of air through tho barn, and tho cattle or horses can be kopt Insltlo without tying thorn up or placing thorn In tho stanchions. Tho ventilation is takon caro of In tho usual way for a barn that Is ar ranged with tho dairy cattlo facing In. Intake flues for tho fresh air nro i brought In with openings abovo and in front of the cows. In back of each row of cattlo Is an outtako lluo that passes up tho wall and along undor tho roof to tho ventilator. ' A Utter carrier track is placed bick of each row of cows, and tho track for this passes out through tho back of tho barn to a manuro pit. Tho cntlro floor of tho cow stablo is of concrete, but often the horso part is made with a wood block or cork floor In tho stalls whoro tho horsos liavo to stand. Ei ther typo of floor Is easy to clean, as It can bo washed out with a hoso after the cattle havo gono out. Tho feeding arrangement In this barn Is compact and easily handled. The silo is placed up closo to tho back part of tho barn and has a chuto which empties the silage directly into tho feeding alloy. From hore It can readily be placed In the mangers, which are built of concreto tho samo as tho floor itsolf. The horso stablo is separated from the dairy barn part by a wall with three doors placed In it. Two of tho n0$fflm. ! !

Such an event blends a wholo stokehold in one fren zied orgy ot death death by explod ing shell and scattering fragments of steel; death by awful wounds from flying, burning coals, or death by scalding, hissing, blinding steam as tho water tubes burst all around them.

Tho mall order houses havo had a big year, tho rush of fall orders exceeding all previ ous years and taxing the capacity ofi theso establishments, whoso most san--gulno expectations have been exceeded by the actual business dono. Tho tide has turned In western Can ada. The peoplo of the West aro rorglng ahead, forging ahead In actual production and In creation of woalth, giving generously to charltnhlo and other funds, paying up their back debts, whllo going along carefully as regards any creation of now debts. They aro economizing but not scrimp ing, acting cautiously but not miserly. Tho financial heads of eastern Canada, of tho United States and of Europe aro no longer criticizing western Canada: rather they aro unstintedly offering tholr praise and their mpllments. Tho financial press recognizes that tho tide has turned In western Canada, and it has been published to the world. The condition of western Canada at tho closo of 1915 Is one of optimistic prosperity, backed by tho samo deter mination of wostern people to go on increasing their productiveness and maintaining the records which thoy havo already established. , Tho trado revival of westorn Ctuia'da is tho happiest featuro in the buslnoT survey of tho wholo Dominion for lltr and in tho outlook for 1916.
