Whether this is because of the fact that he knows It has an effect on the sale value of the farm, because of his personal pride or because of the influence of Improved farming methods and sanitation, makes little difference. It Is sufficient that this tendency is In force. Naturally the appearance of the buildings will determine very largely the appearance of the farm. Some of the best farms are built according to a definite plan-wblcpredetermines Just where each building Is to be placed, the type of building which It h Milwaukee Father Had to Set Twice Em Up -- The proud papa Is expected to set em up and buy the arrival of a son nnd heir, but to do It 14 years after the event as well as at the time df birth is too much. ' At least that Is what Louis ' Nncssc, secretary and treasurer of Rockwell Manufacturing company, thinks. When Elmer Carl Gustave arrived In this vale of tears," as this world of oars Is sometimes called, one May day In 1003, Papa Nuesse wore the usual expansive smile accompanying the completion of that successful Journey. He also did the right thing with the boys and sundry other friends. The M. D. who personally conducted young Elmer Into the world failed, however, to record that Important event 'as prescribed by the statutes of the state of Wisconsin. So when Elmer Carl Gustave, now aged fourteen, asked for a permit to labor In the flelds during his vacation, and Incidentally serve his country, no birth certificate could be secured. The doctor was hastily communicated with and he supplied the health department with the necessary .and requisite information, , albeit It was about fourteen years late. And that Is the reason the papers the other day bore the glad tidings that a son and heir had been borne to Mr. and Mrs. Louis Nuesse, 820 Sixteenth avenue. Cigars again had to be passed and the boys had to have another round, although many of them shared in the original treat Mrs. Nuesse also came In for her share of congratulations. Just how she squared It with her friends It Is not known. It Is understood, however, that the South side physician whose neglect was tile cause of the double treat and many explanations, will have to stand all expenses. MILWAUKEE. Is to be and the style of all of the buildings Is made to conform to --a selected standard. The scheme may even be carried to a conformity between building materials used. The most noticeable manner In which farm buildings may be designed to follow a selected style Is In the shape of the roof. The roof of a barn constitutes a large proportion of the total external surface and Its shape will, therefore, have a decided effect upon the appearance. There are three principal types of roof which are used on farm buildings. These are the pitched or gable roof, the gambrel roof 'and the gothic root In UTAH. lumber having n thickness greater than two inches, it may be framed by a small force of men because there are no exceedingly heavy members to be raised into place and the hay mow space Is unobstructed except f&r the purlin posts and the main truss chorda, which project only a few feet Into the mow. The gothic roof may likewise be classed as a plank frame structure. There Is absolutely no obstruction of any sort In the mow of s gothic roof barn. When properly braced with diagonal strips, spiked and bolted across the studs and rafters It Is a very, strong type of construction. The gothic roof would be selected by the farmer who wishes to make his farm appear distinctive. Buildings having this type of roof are characterized by their neat appearance and in moat localities they are out of the ordinary. This matter of appearance, together with the structural advantage! already mentioned, are sufficient to recommend such a barn to any farmer who wishes to follow a plan somewhat different from the usual layout found on farms throughout the country. It la noticeable that the farms which are carefully planned usually are the large ones built practically In their entirety at one time. This fact Is to be regretted, since the smaller farmer, If he cares to do so, may consult with the builder and building material dealer and plan his farm in Just as systematic a manner aa that used for the largest farms. Progressive building material dealers In farming communities in all parts of the country are rapidly equipping their offices, with all kinds of literature and various other helps which are at the disposal of the farmers. Builders who are Interested In farm building construction are studying catalogues, textbooks and building Journals so that they will be fitted to offer useful suggestions to the farmers wbo come to them for advice on building subjects This building service need not be limited to the farmer who Is planning a new farm. It Is just as useful in the development of a farm which has been established and is growing beyond the limits of Its present facilities. The advice to farmers all farmers Is, then, to make friends with tbe builder and the building material dealer in the nearby town. He can serve you and his service may save you money on your Improvements! Coming back 'to the gothic roof barn shown in the accompanying Illustrations, let this structure serve as of what the appearance of such a structure may be.
