A oflises all taqulrlee to William A. Radford No. US Prairie avenue. Chicago. PL. and only lnckwe two-cent stamp for While consumers have been complaining of the Increased cost of milk, the lot of the producers has not been a bed of roses. High prices of feed and the greatly Increased cost of labor are two factors that have made milk and the other dairy products cost more. There is one way In which dairymen can reduce the'r costs of producing milk. That "la l» cutting the labor . coat That can be done by conducting hie operations In a modern building— the barn. Experience has taught dairymen the value of a modern, sanitary, well-ven-tilated and conveniently arranged cow stable. One observer on a recent trip through the middle west remarked on the number of barns that were being built. That la not surprising when It la considered lhat the modern dairy barn will save SO per cent In labor cost*, and Increase milk production from 10 to 30 per cent One type of the modern dairy barn Is shown In the ■ccrtnrpenylng Illustration. Here hi." frame structure, set on a masonry foundation that la only 88 by 72 feet In dimensions, but will bouse 30 milking cows and enable the owner of the herd to do the work necessary In caring for the animals a great deal more quickly and with a smaller number of men. It Is so de

signed and constructed that the cows will be healthy and more productive. In exterior appearance this is a -good barn. It has a gambrel, or roof with broken lines, and la attractive In j appearance. Adjoining la a silo, 12 j feet In diameter, of hollow clay ' building rile, wherein Is stored the ■ winter's supply of fresh feed for the -cows. Above the stable Js a roomy mow for hay and other roughage. The floor plan that accompanies the exterior view of the barn shows the layout of the cow stable. Through the center of the stable runs a litter alley, -along either side of which are 15 cow stalls. On either side of the stable, with the stalls facing them, are feeding Alley* Over both the Utter and feeding alleys Is a carrier track, which enables the owner to remove the Utter and carry the feed to the mangers mechanically. The dotted lines show the course of the carrier. At one end the track runs oat to the manure pUe or pit. At the other the track connects the feeding alleys with the feed room and silo chute. The floor of the stable la of concrete with steel stall partitions. At the rear of the stalls, along either side of the litter alley la a gutter, pitched to a drain, making it an easy matter to flush out the refuse. It is s profitable plan to have the drain connected with a concrete tank for Uguld manure. Sunshine and flash air ara two aamo time there should ho no drafts on tho animals, especially to winter This bam is equipped wRh ^ amoSer* and taUvwtng ttwMiMgajsf the ltd M «y'm "eSTmrn

shafts, and keep the air In the stable sweet and dean. Seven windows on each side of the stable permit the entrances of sunshine, which helps to keep the suble sanitary. When It Is considered that fresh water Is one of the necessities for healthy, hlgh-prodnclng cows, it will pay every dairyman who has a herd of any slxe to equip his barn wlt$ running water connected with automatic drinking cups at the stall heads. How I much water a cow will drink when It Is available, is shown by a 24-bour watch that was kept on a stable containing 24 animals. There was not a minute Id the 24 hours when one of the animals was not drinking. Tests also have shown that a continuous supply of fresh water In the stable will Increase the flow of milk 10 per cent. Such a barn as this Is not expensive to build. Cost* however, vary In different localities and It la not possible to give figures on the cost of construction of this building. A consultation with the local contractor ami lumber dealer will bring an estimate. This should be done at once, If the barn Is to /be finished by the time the herd Is brought into winter quarter* 8uch a barn as this Is a good Investment /on any farm where special attention Is paid to dairying. It will save Its, cost In a few years In the saving made In labor and In the Increase oT milk production. To save labor requires that the labor saving barn equipment be Installed. Costs of material that go Into buildings have been greatly reduced during the last few months and a better supply of lumber and other materials i now Is available. A visit to the local material dealer and the contractor will show that this Is a good time to build, whether a new barn, borne or any other farm building la needed. FINDS LONG-SOUGHT SECRET? Woman Said to Have Discovered the Treo That Produces the Cadque- - Carey Wood. Since Columbus crossed the ocean blue the world had soughr tn vain, until last year, for the tree that produces the caclque-carey wood, which wood, though few of us have learned the fact, la one of the strongest, most , durable, most beautiful woods that botany can boast, says the New York Evening PosL f When Christopher visited Central America local " caciques" or kinglets
