The Traditional Pork Barrel While the farmer was reckoning the amount of stone he must get out, and ; the beams and crosspieces and ‘the matter of stalls and floors and. gran- aries and so on that he would need. his wife had one word before her eyesâ€"“men!”â€"And it was a word 01' great significance. For whatever her husband undertook 1n the line of building, meant that she would have to provide bed and board tor a num- ber of men. Now-a-days we demand plenty of air space, plenty of window space. These two, with plenty of water, con- stitute the cheapest and most constant aids the farmer can command. But to return to the oldtime barn. It was a source of interest to the whole com» munity when a. new barn was in con-\ sideration. There was a long siege or preparation, in which first this and ‘ then that neighbor lent a hand. 1 first idea of farm buildings implied simply thisâ€"and a cover for fodder or implements as required. What a pride it must have been to the sturdy farm folks of earlier days when they outgrew the first log or sod stabling expedients of their pioneer efl’orts and were able to construct a fine big barn on a foundation of masonry, plenty of 1room for animals in the stable below, plenty of room for hay, straw, grain up above. / They had ideas we have come to regard as antiquated. They asked for few windows and tolerated very low ceilings in the stable. Thus they con- served the heat generated by the animals themselves, maintaining a temperature in which potatoes, man- gels, turnips and so forth were pro- tected from frost in their root cellar. adjacent to the main stable. Young pigs and calves could come through the winters, and besides, it was more comfortable for those who worked. among the animalsâ€"or it was suppos- ed. to be. In a climate such as this, stock must have shelter for several months of the year, so it stands to reason that the and constructed of factory-made parts, have all the advantage of emciency and equipmentâ€"but these weathered old buildings that were set in place by the joint efl’orts of a community have a treasure of romance in their old (by Nina Moore Jemima) The older a barn is, the more inter- esting it should be.

The fiddler knows any tune that may be asked for, and with. closed eyes and expressionless face deals them. forth from his shrieking fiddle. He is game to play for five hours at a stretcn, and feel well paid with whatever the “boys” take up in the hat for him. Most of the dancers can stay on the floor the full time, too, and know never an ache or a flagging nerve. The old ladies sit on planks along the walls, holding sleeptng babies and exchanging reminiscences of other days. The dances were much different when they were youngâ€"far nicer and more enjoyable. They forget that their grandmothers said the very same thing of themâ€"and their grandchildren will Ladies cross your lily White hands and gents your black and tan.

Not that this ends the campaign of bak- ing by any means, for there will still be much to finish about the barn be- fore the carpenters depart.
