HOW ABOUT TH 9 r The round barn hes• r commend+.t. •ed itself to the' Cann n farmer.

'their attractive and unusual appeaafce always dra; appreciative- comment from the Can- adian visitor, and I have made it a point to inquire as to the satisfaction these found barns were giving their owners. I find that in dairy regions the round barn has se efficiently dem- onstrated its worth as a h bar saver and money earner that this type of construction is steadily gaining in i popularity. Their owners claim that they are economical in 'cost, a saving of from 30 to 50 per cent. being pos- sible in constructing_, round barn as compared with a reeta'ngular barn to accommodate a similar number of cows. They tell me that there is hardly any waste space in a well planned circular barn, whereas it is almost impossible to design an oblong barn in which all the room will be used. Some of these men even rate the saving of labor so high as to state that one man can as easily care for 20 cows in a round barn as for 14 in a rectangular barn, the milking not be- ing considered. Perhaps the best known ekponent of the round barn in the United States is Prof. W. J. Fraser, of the Univer- sity of Illinois. Prof. Fraser is known as one of the .best dairymen in professional agriculture in the United States, and he has made a great success of the University farm at Urbana. So enthusiastic is he over this type of construction that all of the three barns on the • University farm are circular. Some years ago Prof. Fraser conducted a survey a- mong round barn owners to discover what other people thought of it. Out of 125 replies received, no users re- ported dissatisfaction arising from the arrangement of their barns. They were unanimous in decaring them \economical in construction and con- venient in feeding and caring for stock. The reports included dairy barns, horse barns, general purpose barns, and hay and grain Karns. In reporting his findings, Prof. Fraser gave his own argument for the round barn in the following paragraphs: "There are several features which favor round -barn construction.. Chief among these is the well known fact that a given area is enclosed with a shorter line in the form of a circle than in any other geometrical figure. Thus a circular wall requires the few- est lineal feet (hence the least ma- terial) to inclose a given area; and because of the mechanical advantage in using the principle of the arch and hoop, a much stronger wall can be built, even with lighter construction. This applies to masonry as well as to wood construction. The circular con- struction takes advantage of the lin- eal strength of the lumber, which is some twenty times that of the cross - grain shearing strength. thus making possible the use of smaller or fewer pieces than are originally used in a rectangular structure. Another note- worthy feature is that the studs in a round barn may be placed 2 feet to 2 feet 6 inches apart, while for rigidity in rectangular barns they are usually placed as close as 16 inches; yet the circular barn is the stronger. "A third item of economy in the circular barn is the requirement of less framing lumber. Bracing and crossties of hent construction are done away with by the use of bands of boards running around the barnto support the uprights, tying them to- gether as hoops do a barrel. Not a single framing timber larger than a 2x8 is required above the joist. If the siding is put on vertically and a hip roof is built, no scaffolding is re- quired inside or out during the con- struction. "The circular form has the strong - eat possible construction with the least bracing. If the lumber is right- ly placed, much of it will perform two or more functions. Every row of siding boards running around the building serves also as a brace, and the same is true of the roof boards and the arched rafters. Furthermore not so much strength is needed in the walls of a round barn because all ex- posed surfaces arc convex, both the sides and roof being arched, and thus the best form of construction for re- sisting wind pressure is secured. The wind, in striking these surfaces, glances off, since it can get no direct hold on the walls or roof as it does on the flat sides or gable ends of a rectangular structure. Because of its barrel -like construct.ien and its ability to resist wind, the round barn may, with safety, be built. higher than a rectangular structure of equal floor area. "A barn on a dairy farm is used twice every day in the year, and for six months each year the cows occupy it almost continuously; so that e large amount of work in the barn is necessary. To meet these condi- tions on a dairy farm, the round barn has special advantages. With the cows in a circle facing the center, the feeding of silage commences at the chute down which it is thrown, and is continued around the circle, ending with the silage cart at the chute again, ready for the next feed- ing. The same principle applies in feeding hay and grain, and in clean- ing out the manure. BARN?.

ADMISSIOl75.Cents and 50•Cents. The large, unobstructed hay mow in a round barn with a self-supporting roof obviates the dragging of hay around posts or over girders. The hay carriers may run on a circular track around the mow, midway be- tween the silo and the outside wall, and drop the hay at any desired point. In barns having a diameter up to 60 feet, considerable saving of labor re - ,sults from the fact that it is neces- sary to mow the hay only a few feet. The ventilating flues that remove the foul air are especially effective in the round barn because their great height and freedom from bends cre- ates a strong suction. Since the von- tilating flues are in the center next to the silo they are not in the way either in the stable or in the mow. In many cases the hay and silage chutes are used for ventilation. Prof. Fraser glosses over the dis- advantages of the rdund barn but they must be very real or there would be more of them built. One serious objection is that, where they are more than fifty or sixty feet in diameter, it is almost impossible to properly light the center of the stable. This is true, of course, of the stables un- der any barn that is of abnormal DANCE fN WA,4ER'S HALL Brucefield on FRIDAY EVENING, OCT. 20th Gentlemen - 75 cents width. It has also been found by some users that the central silo is not convenient. The silo is not filled until all other crops are in the barn, and it is difficult to so arrange the barn floor that the loads of corn stalks can be conveniently driven along side the cutting box. In one or two cases that I have heard of the silos have been taken out of the cen- ter of the barn and erected at one side. Evena more serious objection is the difficulty in arranging to un- load hay and grain with fork or sheaf carrier. The circular track is not yet fully successful although hundreds are using it with at least a fair de- gree of satisfaction. A further ob- jection is that additions cannot be readily made. 8'he objection most frequently heard is that carpenters are not acquainted with this form of construction and the labor bill would be unduly heavy. Prof. Fraser deals with this latter objection at length. At the University Farm they are able to build their circular barns more cheaply than they could build rec- tangular barns of similar capacity. Following are several opinions from Illinois dairy farmers who have erect- ed round barns:— "The carpenter work on a round barn 50 feet in diameter containing 1,964 square feet of floor space with 18 -foot posts coat $150, while the car- penter work on a rectangular barn 30x45 feet containing 1,944 square feet of floor space with 18 -foot posts cost $140. In both cases the work was figured at 30 cents per hour." "From bids that I received for the carpenter work on the rectangular barn and round barn covering the same floor space, it was about $75 cheaper for the round barn." "The cost of carpenter work on a round barn is practically the same as a rectangular one of the same size if you have one carpenter of experi- ence." I built a barn 40x60 feet contain- ing 2,400 square feet with 18 -foot posts, the carpenter work costing $250. The next year I built a round barn 60 feet in diameter and contain- ing 2,826 square feet with 20 -foot posts and the carpenter work cost me $240, The round bard contained 15 per cent. more floor area and the car- penter bill was 4 per cent. less." "When I wanted to build my barn.I had a bill of lumber made out for a 40x80 foot ,barn containing 3,200 square feet of floor space and the lumber dealer wanted $1,500 for the lumber. Then I had a bill made out for a round barn 72 feet in diameter containing 4,069 square feet of floor space and the lumber was an even $1,000, which was quite a difference, so I built the round barn. The car- penter wanted the same price for his labor on the round as the rectangular barn." Most people are conservative.

The man who likes to attempt new things and would rather do the unusual than the usual can well afford to examine further into the merits of the circular barn. Person- ally, I believe they are due to become increasingly popular because of the high cost of lumber and the economy in the use of the same that is pos- sible with the round barn.—Farm and Dairy. THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE SPORTS The annual Field Day of the Sea - forth Collegiate was held on Friday last, and judging by the attendance and the interest shown in the differ- ent events, nob only by the students, but by ex -students and townspeople, these field days would seem to be gain- ing in popularity each year. Weather conditions were perfect on Friday and there was a large attendance at the Recreation Grounds, where the boys' events and the baseball match be- tween Clinton and the home Collegiate were held. The ball game resulted in a score of 19-4 in favor of Seaforth, but the basketball game for the Scott Shield, between the girls of Clinton school and Seaforth, resulted in a win for glinton by a score of 27 points to 9. In the evening the students gave a dance in Case's Hall, which was very largely attended and at which everyone had a thoroughly good time, the music being supplied by the Strat- for Orchestra.
