On the larger dairy farms lint dairy harn Is Unlit for the exclusive use of lint dairy herd and no provision Is made for oilier animals. On the general-pur* post- farm, however, where the farmer lias a small herd and also a few horses he generally wants a harn Unit will take care of both. The general type of dairy barn Is needed with pens for horses. Such Is the harn shown here with floor plans. A handsome looking structure, built of frame, with a substantial hollow tlh* foundation, it has been designed to accommodate nine cows, six horses and several calves.

Fresh air Intakes located at the proper Interval* about the lower barn floor furnish a continual supply of fresh air, while foul air Hues carry off the Impure air which Is so dangerous In buildings where animals are housed. While barns are built more for utility than appearance It Is wise to make them appear somewhat attractive. This building Is an excellent addition to any farm. Modern barn construction lays par ticular emphasis upon Interior arrange ment and labor-saving equipment. These two points should be kept fore most In mind when designing the buildings. Upon them depends the ef flclavy of production and the *itl»fnc tlon of hell*. That Is why carrier tracks for litter and feed carriers have been Installed In feed and litter al leys. The track running through the feed alley runs to the grain spouts at one end of the building. The car riers are filled from these spouts which tap the grain bins on the floor above. The litter track connects each litter alley with the manure pit on the Outside of the lmrn. These earrlsrs have helped to lift a very heavy bur den from the shoulders of the farm help and the farmer’s boys who take nn active Interest. It Is less liable that they will seek the alluring positions of the city If modem labor-saving conveniences on the farm make their • work more pleasant and give them mom time for amusement and pleas ure. All cow stalls, horse, stalls, pens, etc., are divided off by modern steel stall equipment. The floor Is concrete with sanitary manger troughs and gutters. Stanchions and water cups are an essential part of this barn equipment. At one end Os the barn are the eow i*ens and box stalls. The effect of this sanitary and efficient equipment has been demonstrated in the Increased production of the ani mals. Contented cows will not only produce a high-grade milk, but plenty of it. Drinking cups provide a con tinual source of fresh clean water. which Is nn Important factor in milk production. Because of the many factors enter ing Into farm production at the pres ent time. It pays the fanner to Install i the best equipment he enn procure at the very beginning. While the initial expense is larger than if he had used old material, the results will soon pay for the difference In cost. Not only will he get better products, but more of them and at the same time he will he protecting himself against future desertion of the property which he has worked so hard to build up. The younger generation has become edu cated to the advantages of modern conveniences and If they cannot get them on the fnnn they will go to the ctiles and towns. Undesirable condi tions heretofore have been largely re sponsible for this exodus which threat ens the very foundations of our so cial order. Progressive fanners have learned the lesson of well-built build ings and modern equipment. In time nil of the fanners will demand tin best buildings and the best equipment. OF INTEREST TO TRAVELERS Brander Matthews’ Suggestion of a “Guide Book to the British Isles’’ Is Worth While. Among (lie "general hints” prefixed to the English version of Baedeker’s “Guide to the United States" there Is to be found a cautiously selected glossary, lo enable tile wandering Briton to translate the unaccustomed Americanisms he Is likely to hear into the corresponding Briticisms with which he has always been familiar. And there ought to be n similar glos sary in the “Guide Book to the Brit ish Isles” for the benefit of the voyag ing American, writes Brander Mat thews In Scribner’s. We may assume that tills Baedeker glossary was prepared by Mr. Muir head, an Englishman long resident In the United States. It catalogues about n hundred Instances of the diverg ence of vocabulary, and to the untrav eled American this list Is Instructive; It Is an nld to his understanding of Im ported Action. It Informs us that what we call a “bedspread” is known in England hs a “counterpane.” Our "bureau" Is their “chest of drawers"; our “muslin" Is their “cotton cloth"; our “calico” Is their * "printed cotton cloth"; our “notions” are their “small wares" and our "spool of cotton’ Is their “reel of thread." it falls to mention our “commuta tion ticket," which Is their “season ticket,” and which has given us "com muter’’ to describe a resident of the remoter suburbs —a word quite In comprehensible to the Londoner. It defines Americanisms for which there are no equivalent Briticisms because the things themselves are more or less unknown In Great Britain—for exam ple, “cowboy” aud “cuspidor.” It seems to Imply that we always sub stitute “fall" for “autumn," “rooster" for “cock," “deck" for “pack” (of cards), and “wilt" for “\ylther" and this Implication ,1s unwarranted since we use both “fall" und “autumn,"’ “rooster" and “cock," “deck" and “pack," “wilt” and "wither.” “Ain’t” Still Is Snubbed. The use of the word "ain’t" has never yet been admitted to correct English, although numerous attempts have been made to have this done. The principal objection, probably, is that It Is used with such a variety of meanings and Impartially In all per , sons. Originally, It probably was an abbreviation for Am Not, the need of one for which Is often felt. But we say, “1 ain’t, you ain’t, he ain’t." 0 j which means, "I am not, you are not. lie Is not." And good grammarians will not allow Its use In correct Eng lish no matter how prevalent Its use may be. An Exception. Mrs. Flatbush—You know every thing changes in this world. Mr. Flatbush —Oh, I don’t know about that. There doesn’t seem to be much change in ear-muffs. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. | CUPID ALIAS BILLY I By WILLIS GRAY. <©. 1921. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) If Marjorie’s thoughts as she deftly cut out and pasted crimson hearts to lacy backgrounds wandered far from the work In hand, Billy and his little sister were none the wiser. Tomorrow was Valentine’s day, and she had agreed to help them make the proper offerings to lay at various shrines among their schoolmates. As a matter of fact, Marjorie was grateful for any occupation that kept her from seeking the seclusion of her own room and having a regular good cry. One doesn’t have a perfectly splendid fiance go out of one’s life every day, metaphorically slamming the door behind him—and all over nothing. Over and over In her mind revolved I the events of the previous evening. Bruce hail arrived half an hour later | than usual. She had demanded the 1 reason for his tardiness —in fun. He I had refused to give any—in fun. And j before they knew it they had a regular ! sized quarrel on their hands. Bruce had maintained that for her to insist showed she didn’t trust him. She had held just as stoutly that the fact that he didn’t tell her argued that the reason was one he knew would dis please her, and the only one that would displease her would be connected with some other girl, and so —oh, it had all been so silly, until the last, which had been tragic. Bruce had risen and remarked coldly that he was going home and would come again when she sent for him. Marjorie could hear herself now saying In unutterably haughty tones that never under any circumstances could she conceive it possible that she would even think of such a thing' Bruce had departed byway of the front door. Marjorie had gone up stairs, remorse already battling with dignity. With a sigh she brought herself back to the present. “What shall I put in for a verse?” she asked. “Oh. anything," said Billy, offhand. “Make up something with lots of the silly stuff that Is usually on valen tines. In the space left for them beside an over-plump cupld shooting a very large arrow at a very small heart, Marjorie carefully penned the lines. “I love you dear. For you are mine, Oh come and be My valentine!” “Thanks,” said Billy, gratefully, *lt’s rather mushy, but you might as well write the same one on them all.” So over and over Marjorie printed the little verse until the short Febru ary day was swallowed in the twi light. “We’ll stop now, kiddies,” said Mar jorie. “Put them In their envelopes and I'll mail them In the box at the corner.” Now, the corner where the mail box stood was also the corner Bruce passed on his way home from the train. So accurately did Marjorie time her trip to the corner that the last of the bunch of childishly scrawled envelopes had slipped Irrevocably in and the lid closed with a click, when she heard be hind her the familiar step, and turn ing, raised her eyes to meet the un smiling ones of Bruce. Afterward she remembered that he had looked for a moment as If he wanted to stop. But he had merely raised his hat politely— and walked on. And Marjorie, the words of contrition halted on her Ups, had started after him In sorry dis may. That evening Marjorie left the liv ing room for the reception room where she usually entertained Bruce. Suddenly, the front door opened, and the draperies parted to admit a smil ing eyed young man who advanced with outstretched anus into which Marjorie straightway went. “Bruce,” she whispered, “It Was lovely for you to give in!” “Give In!” he cried, “who wouldn’t > give in after that adorable little lnvl | tatlon. Why, you darling, I was ready to come anyway, but after getting that —” Marjorie detached herself from his embrace. “Getting what?” she asked : coldly. “Oh, I know It by heart.” he began; “I love you, dear, For you are mine. Oh. come and be My valentine!” Marjorie was slleut for the space of a whole half minute. “That —awful Billy 1” she said. “lie ! must have sent one to you." “Sweetheart,” said Bruce, softly, ' “are you really sorry?” Marjorie looked up at him. ( I "No—o—o," she said hesitatingly, , I then emphatically: "No, I’m not!" . ] -"Weren’t we silly geese?" whispered I Bruce over her dark hair. “The rea -5 son I was late was —” • “Don't ever tell me!" cried Mar . jorle, putting a soft hand over his i mouth. 1 And he never did. But considering t that It was only a matter of a missed ' \ train. It was of no importance, any way. ; Discovery of a Law. "I understand you have discovered the law of gravitation," remarked the neighbor who happened to be passing the orchard.

As to the question of the seven seas, perhaps it is contributing a little io simUiar geographical information to refer to the seven hills of Rome ami to say that many descriptions of San Francisco incorrectly speak of “San Francisco on her seven hills.” As a matter of accuracy, says the writer of a letter to the editor of the New York Herald, San Francisco is the hilllest of the world's large cities. Occupying the end of a fifty-mile-long peninsula, which is flanked on the ocean side by the Pacific and on the inland side by the southern arm of San Francisco bay, the city itself cov ers a rumpled, hilly area of approxi mately 30,000 acres, as, compared with the 14,000 acres of Manhattan island. The city contains not just seven hills but a total of forty-four. The highest of them, Mount Davidson, is 957 feet. Two at the apparent end of the .main business street, under which the thoroughfare passes by long tunnel, are 728 and 732 feet and are called Twin Peuks, to the summit of which there is a scenic automobile drive. Strawberry hill, in the middle of Gold en Gate park, which is a third larger i in area than New York’s Central park, ; is a conical hill 420 feet high, and it ! is girdled half way up by a pleasure ■ lake, while Lone mountain, famed these ; last eighty years as the site of a mass- ; ive sixty-foot cross upon its summit, also is 420 feet high. Practically all of the forty-four hills ] of San Francisco are almost twice as high as any hill in Rome and nearly all of them are aWfut twice as high as the Acroplis hill in Athens or Wash ington Heights in New York or the ! river bluffs of Hoboken or West New : York on the New Jersey side of the Hudson. Except for that fourth of San Fran- j cisco’s hills which have been complete- | ly built upon or changed by man, this interesting fact I have observed on the summits of some thirty of them—wild j California yellow violets growing and j a-bloom in spring, lingering suggestions j perhaps of the floral abundance, that may have characterized the least fav ored parts of the peninsula in the old j days before the gringo came or be- j fore the world learned that a mag- ! nificent landlocked and hill-sheltered harbor nearly 100 miles long and from three to six miles wide lay snugly be hind that narrow slit in the hills, but a mile and an eightli in width, forming the picturesque western ocean portal known as the Golden Gate. Twins and Quadruplets. Once in a while one reads about a birth of quadruplets. Very rarely quintuplets are born, and there have even been instances of sextuplets. When four or more babies come into the world at a birth, almost never do more than three of them survive. A tendency to the production of twins is undoubtedly hereditary; it runs in families. A woman whose mother and grandmother have borne twins may fairly be expected, if married, to bring one or more pairs into the world. That curious armored mammal, the arma dillo, common in Texas and Mexico, nearly always produces four young at a birth; and the most remarkable thing about them is that they are “Identical” quadruplets—i. e„ pro duced by the splitting of a single fer tilized cell. The phenomenon of split ting is known to occur only in the ar madillo and in man. Identical human twins (produced by a single cell) are very exceptional, but not extremely rare. They are in effect duplicates of one individual, and might almost be said to share a common identity. Or dinary “fraternal” twins may be more or less alike, but identical twins resem ble each other so closely that it is hard to tell them apart. Improved Paint-Spray Guns. Painting or varnishing by the spray method has so clearly proved its ad vantages that improved tools for its use are of general interest. A spray ing nozzle, of automatic-pistol form, now being made in Missouri, handles all kinds of liquid coatings, including heavy asphalt paint, with pressures of 80 pounds atul less. One model is made to tit the top of an ordinary screw-top jar or metal container. Jars containing different colors may be in terchanged in about 30 seconds, the nozzle being cleaned by blowing kero sene and air through it. This method covers up to 30 or 40 square feet of surface a minute, while a larger type arranged for connection to a special pressure tank, covers as much as 85. An important feature is its easy adjustment from fine shading to heavy-flow coating.—Popular Mechan ics Magazine. The "Dry*’' of Bombay. Mohammedans in Bombay have started an anti-drinking campaign to “reform” their co-religionists.
