The successful farm U one that has ' .the most modern types of buildings 1 land the latest labor-saving equipment. 1 In view of the alarming tendency of ] the youth to leave the farm as soon as : . he feels his "oats," progressive farm- 1 en are trying to make the farm as 1 attractive and aa efficient as possible. 1 In short they are endeavoring to give 1 the hired man if&e fcr recreation and 1 ajMsemeut. The days of drudgery are passing. Ami modern buildings with eqnlpment that makes the work a pleasure are the principal factor. i la the farm building scheme there Is no building more Important than the dairy barn. It Is the Bource of revenue day In and day out Crops may be poor, and unless the farmer i _ has his dairy herd to fall back on, ] he will be out of luck. But with a- I good healthy herd of milk producers, ] he la sure of an Income regardless of 1 weather or crop conditions For that < reason he should give the dairy barn ] In which be bouses hla cows a great I deal of attention and study. Many ] elements have to he considered. < An excellent type of dairy barn i embodying most of the Important i features of barn building craft Is i

shown In the accompanying Illustration. It has been designed to hold a large herd and house them under Ideal conditions. Rising from a substantial foundation of concrete. Its first story Is concrete block up to the wall plate supporting the hay mow. Above this It Is frame construction supported by •tout trusses and covered by a heavy waterproof garahrel -shaped shingle I roof. This barn has a large stall I floor and abundant storage space above. B One of the Important features of a ] dairy barn of thls>slze Is ventilation, i This Is amply provided for In this barn by means of foul air fries and windows wblcli let in germ-kitllng sunshine. the greatest disinfectant known to science. The foul air. which Is warmer than the fres^, rises .through these flues and la carried off while fresh air takes Its place. The ventilators ou the rpof provide a source of fresh air. The bars which Is 86 by 96 feet has been arranged so as to have two rows of cow stalls facing In toward a central feed alley. The floor Is concrete and so laid aa to provide gutters and manger troughs. These stalls are of the latest design and equipped with stanchions that are easy for the cow and yet restrict her to certain limits. Modern mangers of steel or concrete with partitions prevent greedier members of the herd from taking more than their share. It also permits the fanner to lay out definite rations In tndtvtflnal cases. At the end of the barn are the special pens for the bull, calves, and a feed room. Two allot have been built, outside. In keeping with the Idea of making this barn as efficient as poaslble and also a pleasant workshop far the men. a carrier track has bee* Installed over hi! the states. la the center aMe feed carriers can be raa directly frsai She deed nam er silos and stepped to front of each Mall. Similarly Biter cmrttore toetaDed an a tin* whleh ran la back of each tnw

Another Important feature of modern barn equipment is the drinking cup placed In front of each stalL Here tbe^jr :m drink at wJlL As we all TOwpfByS good dean water la needed to produce milk. The more a cow drinks the better the chances are for Increased production. Moreover It eliminates the driving of the herd twice a day to the water trough. In the cold winter days Oils trough Is often covered with a thick layer of ice and the water la too cdtt-for the cow to drink. Good buildings and modem equipment work two ways. They make tor contented cows, which means Increased milk production. And Just aa Impor- . tant In these days of acute shortage In farm help, they are largely response for satisfied help, because they eliminate many of the old tasks that were absolutely unnecessary, make all of the work easier, and enable the men to finish their is *ks In time to spend an hour or two fishing or swimming. In the warm sultry , days this hour of rest and recreation Is worth a whole lot Only when fanners throughout the country adopt this line of progress and build comfortable, clean, and efficient buildings will they find relief from the present conditions which threaten to tie np the country's food supply. building dairy bams of the type shown here and Installing modem equipment and using machinery the farmer Is not only benefiting his hired help but he is Insuring prosperity for himself In greater production. TELL OF PREHISTORIC RACE Interesting Aztec Relics Displayed In the American Museum of Natural History, New York. Temporarily displayed In the west corridor of the American Museum of History, on the first floor, can seen some Interesting relics of a race— the prehistoric people who and lived In the great community dwelling, now In ruins, near Aztec, New Mexico, which Earl H. Morris for the last three years been exploring and restoring for the American museum. Mr. Morris has gathered a great deal of material which will ! In time be placed on permanent exBut the six shelves in the i

corridor give an Idea of the nature of the objects which have been found | and of the customs to which they testify. Here, outlasting their wearers by centuries, are sandals woven of yucca ! leaf, yucca fiber and cotton, and here the very pattern boards over which the sandals were made. Here, prae- , j tically untouched by time, are ornaIments of shell cut Into discs, and beads of turquoise and of shell. There are arrow poluta of Jasper, bone . awls and needles and fragments of | painted wood — ceremonial boards, j- doubtless. The basketry Is of two types — colled and twilled — some of It In an "excellent state of preservation. Then there are cylindrical netted discs padded with corn husks. These are a puzzle | to the museum's Investigators. Some one advanced the theory that they , might have been used as snowshoes, but the small size and unsuitable shape of some of the specimens seem to re- ' fute that supposition. — Brooklyn ' Eagle. The First Photograph. , Eighty-one years have elapsed since the first photographic portrait of a llv- [ Ing person was taken. This historic daguerreotype picture — still in existence In AmerlA — was of a Miss Dorothy Draper, daughter of ' Professor Draper of New York. The process was then so slow that the altter's fate was covered with white pow- ' der, the exposure being about 80 minutes, and tii bright sunshine 1 ' One of the greatest photographic J booms was In 1857, when a French ; duke had hla portrait placed on hla vial ting cards In place of his name. | Dladerl, the Parisian court photographer who made the pictures, saw ' money In the Idea, and very soon It became the correct thing for every ' person to present his trieods with his 1 "cartnde-vtnte."
