S UINCOLN ROTHBIIM 4r. lit, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) SbShe had a.plain name. Surely anoth tig could be plainer than Mary. And she was very plain to look at; the sort one passes in a crowded street or busy department store without even a subconscious second thought. But with her name and appearance ended )Mary's plainness. Resplendent as a flaming torch, her character of sacrl .eing unselfishness shone forth. Mary's mother, having set for her daughter the example, had quietly gone to her last rest; quite as calmly and meekly as she had served her husband and four soils during the five and twenty years past. Here had, Indeed. been a service unher alded and unacclairned. Maiy as sunied the role thus vacated without murmur or thought of protest 4l itl eually silent fashion the head of the household and its four niale he:rs took for granted that it was proper and fitting fort Mary 'to serve and meet their wants; took it for granted with customary masculine complac ency. And so, when rising costs and re stricted earnings necessitated the ad dlUonal income that could be derived from a boarder, Mary uttered no syl lable of complaint that her work would be thus increased. IU was one of those hot nights in July when ever) the setting of the sun seemed to bring no surcease from the torrid humidity of the day. From the stove, steaming with the evening's sup per, Mary turned a pat'-boiled counte nance as the door was shoved wider open and her father entered with the "boarder;" who, as he timidly follow ed Into the room, gingerly deposited his very new valise close to the door, as if to have it immediately ready should the course of events deem hasty departure expedient. Mary's father hung his hat and chat on a near-by hook, reached for his sleke-blackened meerschaum from the shet above the sink, cleared his throat apt said by way of Introduction: "Mary, this is the boarder." Then he trudged froim tri room, leathl mW1 et tracee of mortal arcros~ te poer to tigite t ble pteeastim l.aty eaeourag+a te lre wl" ta etber block of wood and the pot of stew by vlgorou I which filled the kitchen with lows ofte" , ;.m...", 04rM1 wa is your room," she Nltaeuly ..droned, and reached pick up the valise.

Whether the follow4ng even!ng thO father and boys were too occupled with the extra delicacy or two added to the table, or If it was their custom ary neglect of the only woman In the household, it cannot "lIth certainty be said; but to the boarder alone was It apparent that within that twenty-four hour period a change had taken place in Mary. A jaunty, Spanish-fashioned comb, with the rhinestones conspicu ously absent, adorned hqr hair. all stray locks now neatly held in place with sufficient hairpins; an apron. Its gingham expanse unsoiled, covered a house dress equally stiff and clean, and napkins, folded triangular-'inse, reposed during their papier-nmace life time beside each plate. But this evening the boarder had hardly anticiplted Mary's query. "Would you like to Iwllp with thei dish es?" Indeed lie would ;nIl the work fairly flew beneath their fingers.

Outside a ciuoling breeze had come up, a veritable tonic to tl.e swelter ing city. "Ilas anyone ever told you." the hoarder asked after a few moments' silence. "that you have been very won derful to your father and brothers?"' Mary smiled sweetly; the words were honeyed; here. indeed, was reward for her good offices. At the end of the neighborhood's shopping thoroughfare they Joined the thirsty throng gatiered about a soda dispensing fountain. Mary iliowed the boarder to order the preparation of a mystic concoction of many colors and( fruits. and then permitted the cooling cloud of snowy cream to triCkle slowly down her throat.

I As a suggestion to those who will build a barn this summer, a building 1 of good size designed to house 27 a cows and their calves is shown in the I accompanying illustration. This is a I modern gambrel roof barn of good ex terior appearance and is intended to a be constructed so that it is weather- 1 tight and well ventilated. It is a frame i structure set on a concrete foundation, a the concrete wall running up to the 1 sill of the dairy stable windows. Connected with the barn are two silos i of sufficient size to house the wiater I supply of faesh feed for the animals !the barn will aeeemmodate. I The floor plan shows how the stalls I are arranged.

A silo or two will be found on a great majority of the dairy farms In t)le corn belt, and In many other parts of the country. Filled during tLe s m mer and - seaLsd. the silos provide fresh cut feed all during the winter, and it has been proven that fresh .eed produces more milk and richer milk. Also thqre Is a great saving In the cost of feeding the animals with en slaure over grain. The dinmensions of the rn shown in the illustrations are 36 by Q2 fact. Above the stable floor is the mow, which is of a size that will hold enough roughage :to feed the animals during the winter. Such a barn as this is a good in vestment ,'oer every farmer who naikes a business of producing dairy prod-' ncts. The barn is arranged so that the work of rnrng for the animals can be done easily atnd at a inimlnmum of labor cost. Every essential need of the animals is provided for in the con struction of the barn. They are kept warm in winter, and are supplied with fresh air. The stable is kept clean and the animals will be healthy. And it is the healthy and comfortable cow that produces the most milk. When planning to build a barn or rebuihling the old one so. that it will be modern, it is well to consult the contractor who wi:l build the barn and the material dealer who will fur nlsh the materials. Both of these moe know about barn construction, and many of them have a variety of barn bulading plans for the farmer to se lect from. In this way the farmer will get a barn of the right Site to house his herd and their winter supply of teeb and will be able to have it ar uuor lbor cost. ,.1 Trhe Bl. ars ses why a mfl 6 n barn *ltAlhTat'-snantg equip ment will pay the owner that It is a wonder that farmers are not building tbtw faster, The. c se ~.F i tor.the barn In a few yeas ..
