Say, that guyd sort o chopped away the fringes roung my ears an the back o my neck, but hed left about half the hair there, lookin sort o grayish, an then he hadnt touched It none till he got up top, so there was a gray ring an then a black ring.

This Is a 'special appeal to barbers and It comes straight from the barracks and billets of the boys over here. Every hair of their heads cries out for the clippers and neck shave that they left back home and will not be comforted. The American soldier simply cannot understand the French barber and It doesn't look as If he ever would learn how. When he gets hls hair cut he wants it, cut short, he wants hls neck shaved, he doesn't want little lovelocks left hanging over hls eyes and he doesn't want a lot o' muck rubbed on. Add to that the difficulty of telling the Frenchman all those things and the Inherent helplessness of a man In a barbers chair, and you have a truly tragic , Situation. He Looked Like a "Teddy Bear."

The buildings should ba large enough to accommodate a bump-ecrop and as much stock as the farm Remember will profitably maintain. that it is far more expensive to add to a building than it Is to make It large enough la the first place. There la a great difference In the convenience of barns. Such things as the arrangement for feeding, layout of feed and litter passages, facing of animals, location of' feed rooms, silo doors, and hay chutes, all mean ease or extra work as the case may be. By sanitation Is meant the effect obtained by location of windows for distribution of light, doing away with obstruction to light, providing proper height of windows from floor, giving proper slope to stalls, passages and gutters for good drainage, arrangement for a constant circulation of fresh, pure air, making the stable floor impervious to moisture and easily flushed out and finishing off ceilings and side walls to be dust free. Too much sunlight cannot be given Jo the stock. If a healthy herd Is desired, sunlight must get Into every nook and corner of the building at leaBt once a day. Sun Is nature's disinfectant and cleans a stable of disease germs. A farm barn for the stabling of dairy cows, horses and beef cattle, is shown la the accompanying Illustrations. It is 60 feet by 74 feet In size, and Is of th monitor roof type of born so often seen In Indiana and Illinois. Tbe dairy stable end of the barn Is partitioned across opposite the silo. The steel cow stalls are set In tbe concrete floor In the usual way, and there Is an alley behind the cows wide enough for a good passage through. The horses are In one wing and the loose stock runs In a covered barnyard or partially enclosed Bhed in the other wing. Hay storage reaches from the ground to the peak In the center of the hern. The wings also are floored over the stables and the cattle shed, so well-lighte- d, -- Silo sponsible for the appearance and It should be proportioned with this Idea In mind, but the storage capacity Is very often of greater Importance than the appearance.

Usually straw Is blown Into the wings at .threshing time and the center of the barn Is filled with hay. There are feed racks running the whole length of the stock shed. Over these feed recks are chutes to let the hay or other roughage down from the Mg mow so that the racks are easily filled at feeding time. At the same time hay Is let down In the fwHng alley on the side of the barn for the dairy cows. It Is better not to have any direct connection between the cow stable and the overhead storage. Hay for the horses and straw for horse bedding is put down another chute In the horse wing. Placing the silo at one corner of the barn makes It easy to feed silage to all of 'the live stock, because of the manner In which the different alleys branch off and extend In different directions to reach the mangers. Considering the size of the barn, 60 by 74 feet, it Is a cheap barn to build. The construction Is very simple. The center part Is built with uprights which reach to the plate and the wings are added like sheds, with the exception that a solid concrete foundation reaches all the way around, which makes the barn permanent Such a foundation adds a great deal to the value of the building, both In service and looks. |
