No 1827 Prairie avenue. Chicago. 11l , and only Inclose two-cent stamp for reply So inucli stress tins been laid by farm building exports on the (lesion of dairy barns anti the necessity of making provision for the lion 11 It of the cows that many farmers overlook the fact that their work stock —horses or mules need utid deserve a healthful home. Oil too many farms the stable wherein the work animals spent the winter and a portion of the 24 hours of the summer days, Is a basement that Is poorly lighted, admits practi cally no sunlight, and Is damp and foul. Needless to say that such a stable Is not lb ■ best sort of a place for the animals. Herewith Is Hie exterior view of a practical and economical horse barn. Tb<‘ building Itself is only it! feet long and 3tl feet wide, but It will house a dozen Imrses or mules, the number needed on a good-sized farm. The stable Is light and airy; It Is ccn struded so (lull a maximum of sun light can be admitted; It contains both single stalls and box stalls, and after the sialls are In there Is room for a feed storage and mixing room, and n compartment for the harness. The building Is of the type known ns "gambrel" roof barn, and Is of plank frame construction. This means Dial lumber needed to frame the I j 4 1 L j t 'j N'-Garsier Track [<S|MORbE cJTALIIc) pOUbLEi bOXcMII I Stall . i HHtr-hrfr-tT rl hzt=( -iCARRtCRTRACK 11hr l h irTgi—y Mal | I I f)OUE>Le piIXFN&I ip 11 11 ’ pACE | v Alley- barn Is of stock sizes, procurable at anj retail lumber yard. The rtrvc* turo is sci on a concrete foundation and has a concrete floor in the stable. The construction permits a great amount of mow space on tlie second floor, which Is unobstructed by posts, the roof being supported by the trusses of the frame. Tbe reproduction of the stable floor plan shows the arrangement of the stalls and the location of the feed und harness rooms. It will he noted (hat the single stalls, of which there are ten, fa.-e a center alley, the plan that Is followed iu the best dairy barns. This permits the horses to face In, so that the sunlight will not be it> their eyes, and at the same time allows the hncteria-killing sunshine to full on the litter alley and gutter at the rear of the stalls. The feed alley through i(ie center of the building Is Wide enough for a .wagon to go through. This arrangement Is good for the reason that H may be neces sary to iinul*nway some of the hay stored in the loft of the ham. Over both the feed alley and the litter Wiley there is u carrier track. .>a which the carrier may he run, either from the food room to distribute the feed to the ntaugers or to carry away the litter to the manure shed, which, shown In the picture, is near the barn. The building is *i)Ulpped with a suction ventilating system, which keeps the air In the stable In clreu- I Inrion and Is protected with lightning f rods. From this short description and i : from the exterltr view of the stuble floor plan. It may readily be seen that this type of barn Is adapted to the 1 i verage farm, where a considerable number of horses ure maintained. The burn will provide tbe animals with a good home; the work of caring for' the animals may he accomplished with I the least amount of effort, and good, weather-tight storage Is supplied for i the buy and bedding that are needed. | ' In planning such a barn as this or any of the other modern farm build- j Ings—home, corncrlb, lo ghouse, poul try house, etc. —It is best to have architect’s plans In advance of the be- 1 ginning of construction. Working, from carefully drawn plans, the con- | tractor will have no opportunity to i make a mistake that will prove ex- | pensive to rectify, the material dealer can figure the hill of lumber and other materials so that there will be no waste, and when the building Is j completed the owner will have u mod ern building, designed and construct- ! ed at a minimum of expense, II soon will he spring, when the sea- | j son fur building on the farm will open. I taring the time that Intervenes, farmers who need and expect to erect new buildings this year should have their plans made, so that operations may be started when the weather per mits, By having the plans ready, the contract let and the materials or dered. there will he no delay. And, It should he remembered, that while the modern, well-designed farm buildings cost more than the old-fashioned, loosely constructed kind did, they ure worth more than the difference In life, the Conservation of the health of the animals and the protection given both j animals and crops against weather and other natural destructive cause. INSECTS IN HIGH ALTITUDES Explorers of Mountainous Places Have Found Swarms Seemingly Very Much Out of Place. When a scientist was engaged It. making experiments In photographing the sun from the top of Pikes peak some fame ago he noticed swarms of Insects Hying high above the moun tain, and so numerous that the re llcetlon of light from their bodies added considerably to the brightness of the sky. Another investigator on the summit qf Mount Etna noticed clouds of 1 1 moots whose presence af fected the transparency of the" sky. Still another man of science, who ascended Inst summer the I’lohaoo de Veleta, the huge snow-pointed ! mountain In the Sierra Nevada, 11,500 feet hlgji, which looks down upon Granada on one hide and upon the ! Mediterranean on the other, was sur prised to sis 1 , scattered over the rocks and snow about the summit, great numbers of eocclnella beetles, or "lady hugs.” He caught a tine specimen on tho topmost crag and put It In a pock et posTngo stamp case. He was not less surprised when, j upon opening his lunch basket, he was assailed by a swarm of files, which, ; if they were not on a mountaln-ex- ! plortng expedition, had certainly chosen a strangely lofty ami barren dwelling place. % Accommodating. “Did you tell the landlord that this house Is about to fall down on our heads?” "Yes, 1 told him right hr his teetV” ‘And what did he do?” “He said Insurance was only a side line with him, hut he would be glad to write an. accident policy for you and me* and tlie dog.” THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT.

I Copyright, Weetern Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR MARCH 12 AMOS WARNS ISRAEL (TEMPER ANCE LESSON) LESSON TEXT—Amos 6:1-8. GOLDEN TEXT—Wine Is a mocker. ! at rung drink is raging; and whosoever la I deceived thereby Is not wise.—Prov. 20:L REFERENCE MATERIAL —Isa. 5:11, U, It. 23; 88:1-18. Husea 4:11; Gal. 6:19-21. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Bends Amos on ; «n Errand. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Prophet Who Was j a Friend to the Poor. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —The Consequences of Self-Indulgence. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC j -Social Evils Yet to Be Conquered. The kingdom of Israel reached a I high state of prosperity In the time of | Jeroboam 11, and with It came a con- I ditbin of luxury, corruption and wickedness. The Judgment woe of this lesson is directed against the sins of the upper j classes In Samaria. The same sins are practiced in America, In the nation and in the church. With the Increase of wealth in America has come luxury, corruption and gross wickedness which staggiA*s the Imagination. It bfehooves all to give a listening ear, for God will eventually enter into Judgment. Our lesson is a temperance lesson. Temper ance applies to other tilings than in dulgence in intoxicating liquor. Our I uge is intoxicated with pleasure, pur suit of gain and selfish ambition. I. Reckless Security (vv. 1-3). They were bliild to the perils that sur rounded them. They were living in a fool's pliradise, closing their eyes to the approaching storm of judgment as predicted by Amos. They trusted in the mountains of Samaria for their protection. They regarded their city as impregnable. They no doubt re garded i lie utterance of Amos as im practicable—the dreams of a fanatic. The tragic thing about tills blindness on the part of the chief ones of the nation was they were so puffed up with pride that they failed to read tlie signs of (lie times in the light of history (v. 2.) The cities of Culneh and Hamath, though great and mighty, had fallen. To disregard tlie lessons \ of history, to dismiss the thought of Impending Judgment, is to bring near the “seat of violence” (v. 3). Let chaotic Europe and Russia he the red lights of warning to America,..and let j nil injustice and class selfishness be laid aside. » 11. Luxury (vv. 4-0). The luxury of these upper classes in Samaria expressed itself in: 1. Extrav agant furniture (v. 4). They had beds of Ivory—perhaps wood inlaid with Ivory. Costly as their furniture was in that day, It was commonplace as com pared to some of tlie expensive furni ture ami fittings in our great cities. 2. Laziness (v. 4). They stretched themselves, upon their couches —lived lives of Indolence. Such is the ’way of many still. 3. Feasted on delicacies (v. 4). The Implication here is that they had their dainties out of season. This is what many of tlie ricli pride themselves in. 4. Adorn their feasts with music (v. 5). They sang idle songs—even in venjed musical Instruments for this purpose. They prostituted the .noble art of music to their sensual feasts. 5. They drank wine (v. (!). They were not content with ordinary drink ing vessels, 'iliey drank from bowls, indicating excessive drinking. They were so mastered by the intoxicating Cup that (heir feasts which were adorned tlie refinements of music endpd in drunkenness. 111. Failure to Grieve for Joseph (v. fi). - r Joseph here stands’ for Ephraim and Miinasseh, his two sons. Eph ! raim became the principal tribe ! of the northern kingdom, so Joseph is used as a synonym for the nation. The upper classes were indulging In these effeminate luxuries, entirely indifferent to the grounings of the masses. And whenever such a condition exist In u nation there is need of Amos to thunder God's Judgment upon those wife are guilty of it. IV. The Inevitable Issue (vv. 7,8). 1. They shall go into captivity (v. 7). The uorthern nation was first in sin, therefore first to go into captivity. Wtuit a striking contrast this picture! Instead of lying OQ Ivory couches feasting upon dainties, they are with ; the suffering exiles. 2. Tlie certainty of the issue (v. 8). ! It Is Inevitable because of God's >na ! tore. He is a God of justice. lie has sworn that Judgment shall fall, lie is tlie God of hosts —the controller of the whole universe, therefore none can escape. God bates the wickedness of the world, and He will bring “Into Judgment the men and women who revel In luxury with no concern for (lie poor and needy. Though God 1 waits long, lie does not forget. The , only escape for America is repentance. Abide In Him. And now, little children, abide in Him; that when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed at His coming.—I John 2:28.
