THURSDAY. APRIL 30. 1925 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE. CLINTON. S. C. PACE ELEVEN Big Production at Low Cost Is • ; - . Aim of This Modern Dairy Barn By WILLIAM A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and five advlcs FREE OF COST on all problems pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of thlw' paper. On ac count of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he Is, with out doubt, the highest authority on the subject. Address all Inquiries to Wil liam A. Radford, "No. 182T Prairie ave* nue, Chicago, 111., and only Inclose two- cent stamp for reply. The Same principles which are ap plied to the modern manufacturing plant to increase profits through re duced costs, Increased production and improved quality, can be applied to the dairy barn to accomplish the same results. A dairy harn is in fact a manufacturing plant and milk Is the product which is manufactured. Each cow is a milk-making machine and it Is by securing the greatest pro duction from each cow, with the least expense for labor and overhead, that the greatest profits in the dairy busi ness are secured, tt is with this idea In mind that modern dairy barns are being planned and constant improve ments are being made In arrangement and equipment. But the milk-making machine demands one further consid eration which is not demanded of the usual manufacturing machines. This is comfort. Light, warmth, ventilation and cleanliness are essential for the men working in factories, in order that they may Work m ist efficiently and so i flt_ Atjpua^JIg rows on either side of this central passageway or feed alley. A carrie*’ track, down the center of the feed alley, the entire length of the build ing, provides for the delivery of feed to the mangers of the pens as well as those at the stanchions, with the least possible handling or waste ef fort. The mangers are well drained. Back of each row of stanchions, along the side walls, is a gutter drain and litter alley. A carrier track along each litter alley ryns direct to the manure pit and provides for the quick and economical removal of manure. Windows and fresh-air Inlets along the side walls provide for light and ventilation. At this end of the barn another door gives access to the feed room and silo. This plan provides space for 44 cows and their halves. The mow floor above and the silo furnish storage space, for all the feed and bedding which they will, require during the time they are kept indoors. Uncle John , Misfortune’s individual in the pref erence he shows,—mostly singles out his victim when distributin’ his woes. Of course he’s extra capable in pullin’ off his stunts—and we never ketch him foolin’ with too many folks at once. He’jJ likely grab a widder or an orphan when ther’re sick—or any other feller that he reckons he can lick. Sometimes he gets a holt of me and nearly throws me down,—but you know we have to bear a cross afore we?wear a crown. Sometimes I leat*h- er into him as soon as he’s in sight, and I’ll mebbe put him up a tree afore there’s any fight; of course there’s been occasions when my hope was nearly gone, but I found the deep est darkness jest afore the brightest dawn. So, we reckon night is darkest at the near approach of day.—which is probably the hardest of the truths we learn to say. We should ne v er be too sudden in the jedgements we perform —for there’s plenty of tranquility to foWer every storm. Should Have Plenty of Electric Light Outlets The modem home that is equipped with convenience outlets affords Its owner means for taking, advantage of the portable luminaires ithat" are denied those who are compelled to use the old-fashioned method of attaching the cord to ceiling or w-ali units. True, the man who resorts to the latter method of using portables Is able to employ them to some extent, but he Is limited by the height of the ceiling or wall unit In his arrangement of the porfable unless be has an unusually long cord, and that Is even more un sightly than the shorter one. The potential home-builder, the architect and the building contractor are all Interested in the comfort of the ultimate occupant of the home, or they should be. and one of the most es sential means to bring about that en- Joynient Is the handling of these con- A-enlence outlets. It is taken for grant ed that the home will he wired for electricity If It Is available, so why not make full use of the countless benefits"to be gained fmra ^lt?—Tbr way to do that Is to install conven ience outlets, plenty of them. Their availability makes possible the use of the portable luminaire, which means so much in the proper illumina tion and, therefore, complete enjoy ment of the home. And the portable finds its use In practically every room in the house, living room, bedrooms, dining room, den, music room, on the porch, etc. In the living room, much comfort and decorative value are to be ob tained from the use of the bridge type for reading, card playing, sewing, etc. The floor portable and the table port able. too, are Indispensable. The bed rooms find use for portables at the bed sides, for attaching to the head of the bed, for use on a table when a sub dued light is desired. In the dining room they find their place on the buf fet, the serving table, on the. floor. Care should be taken In the selection of these luminaires, and their color and size should he considered care fully before a final decision Is made. The size, shape and character of the room In which the lamp is to be used are determining factors in their selec tion.

The Illustration shows a thoroughly modern dairy barn in which each of these protit-makinc factors has been carefully considered. This Is a frame building with a concrete tile silo. The building is 12o feet lon^ and 30 feet wide, exclusive of the kilo and feed room which add another IS 1 ^ feet to the oyer-ail length. The main structure Is divided into two parts by the driveway. ' At one end are the bull, calf and cow pens with their mangers as well be one of the two foul-nir shafts which carry off all stale air and odors. There is a small entrance at this end of the harn and ample windows are provid ed here, as they are throaghdftt the building. The driveway extends the entire'•width of the building with a wide door at each end. The hay chute is located at the point where It Inter sect# the lengthwise passage, which extends the entire length of the b-'Ud- log in the other portion of the b.:^. the ce» stanchions are arranged In two Sun Room Is Needed in the Small Home The sun room is becoming as essen tlal a part of present-day American architecture as the bath room or the laundry equipment. Even the most modest six-room dwell ing today boasts of its sun room, which serves as a porch in summer, but does not have to he given over to the swirling leaves and snowflakes ns soon as cold weather arrives and the hammocks are put in the attic, as was the old-fashioned porch. The sun room gives service 12 months out of 12. A great many builders finish the in terior walls of the sun room with sand finished plaster., which is tinted a pleasant neutral tone and left at that. But living in such a sun room for a few months will usually convince the housekeeper, ct least, that such a finish is neither &S neat nor .as cheerful as some other wall covering might be. Many architects and interior deco rators are now specifying smooth-fin ish white plaster for sun rooms, exact ly like the other rooms of the dwelling. Then for the sun room, where gayety and permanent bright colors are liked —to harmonize with the flowers, ferns, smart wicker furniture and stimulat ing cretonnes In vogqe for sun room decoration—-a boldly patterned, gayly colored wall paper is applied. Thus permanent cbe^r, even on the dullest rainy days, is assured. Then the jmn room is enabled to live up to its name and provide a cheerful retreat for the fumily, no mat ter how gray the skies are and how drear) the outlook from the windows.
