How to Improve Them

Stnto and city requirements ns regards sanitary milk production nro becoming so strict that It 111 behooves farmers to continue the slipshod and disease-distributing methods so generally followed in housing the dairy herd. The time has arrived wheu milk produced for human consumption must be freo from dlsooso-produclng bacteria, It must not be tainted with filth and therofore must be produced utidor sanitary conditions. Those restrictions require the general Improvement of the dairy barn and stable, not only as ragards its proper vontilation and thorough sheltering of the dairy stock, but also as to the character of the stable floor, tho eßlcioncy of tho stalls, tho methods uied in cleaning the barn. How Is tho farmer who cannot afford to build an up-to-date, sanitary bnrn to meet these dllllcultles? Tho initial difficulty which must be corrected in the majority of old and even modern barns Is the lack of proper ventilation. The King system of ventilation, devised by Prof. F. H. King, formerly professor of agricultural physics in the Wisconsin College of Agriculture, consists of two sets of flues, one of which admlt3 fresh air while the other furnishes an escape for the bad air. Tho inlet or fresh air flues should be placed not more than ton feet apart and located in the exterior walls of the barn; tho greater tho number the more effective the ventilation, since they enable the fresh air to displace the foul air more rapidly. The outlet may include one or more flues, but should be located ns to provide the quickest means of removing the foul air. Fresh Air Ventilators. In the location and construction of tho intakes for fresh air It should always be borne in mind that tho air ehouid enter at the ceiling of the 6tab!o. Thn the fresh air entering How to put fresh air Intakes into an old barn. The opening, A, must be at the surface of the outside ground and, B, at the celling. Six-Inch tile may be used. will mix with the warm air at the coiling and become warmed boforo It settles to the floor. The fluea for this purpose should bo air tight and may bo constructed of galvanized Iron 25 or 26 gauge is preferable, or of matched lumber lined on Interior by a heavy grade of tar felt paper such as is used for roofing purposes. Seventeenths Inch lumber should bo used nn tho joints nailed as closely as practical. Then cover with paper followed by a second thickness of lumber. This will insure an air-tight fluo if caro Is taken to break all tho joints. Should drop siding or Btock board's be ubpiI, nail the papa' on the tPtlig p.hd then cover it with a thickness of seven-sixteenths-lnch lumber. Foul Air Flues. Wrong construction of foul air fluej has led in some cases to the failure of the system. They should not be made Hko an ordinary Ioxm1 opening, as poiiu farmers hnv thm. who later have condemned tho method. Tho Intakes A B, and bad-air chimneys, C D, In an ordinary stable. flues may bp of either galvanized Iron or of a combination of pajwr and lutn her like the Intalo s.

A good wnMlntlng flue should have the same qualities an a f,ood chimney. It should rls' abovi the highest part of the roof, so ns to receive tho full force of the wlrul. Stahlo walls and ceilings should bo practically air tight and non-conductors of heat and cold. Doors and windows should fit well. Fresh air intakes should havo the outsldo opening at least three feet below tho lrddo opening, with the Inside opening at the ceiling, provided with a valve or shutter. Foul air flues should bo nlr tight nnd non-conductors of host and cold. Tbey should havo their lower opening about ono foot nbove tho floor level, and with aa four bends as possible pass Upward to a height of at least 25

Cheap, Yet Sanitary Stalls. Thoro seems to be a prevallinc Im pression amoug dairymen that a com The model sanitary ccw stall on a concrete floor. fortablo snnltary stall or stanchion Is an expensive factory product, while tho fact is that any farmer who Is handy with carponters tools can build a stall which will secure as good results as any patented stall upon tho market. The stall hero described ombodios in its construction all of tho principles found in any. of tho patentod stalls. The modol stall Is a home-made product and It Is probably the nearest approach to a perfect stall of any In use at the present time. It Is constructed, as shown In the figure, so as to force the cow to have her hind feet between tho cross-bar and gutter where standing, thus preventing tho fouling of the stall by her own droppings. When lying down sho Is brought forward and compelled to lie in front of the crossbar. The cow Is forced to stand back from the hay rack when eating because of the position in which it is hung. The cross bar Is adjustable and the stall will accommodate a large or small cow. The chain or fastening Is so ar! ranged that as the cow starts to He down sho la drawn forward and will STALL Plan of gutter In concreto floor. .

The partitlous ' are so constructed that it is almost impossible for a cow to step upon tho udder or teat of one lying down next to her. This featurn alone 1 worth the ccat of veral stalls to the owner of valuable Individuals. A wooden mat is laid over the concrete floor. This mit is removable, permitting th. clranein of the entire floor whonpvrr occa.'hm demands, if It seems deiflrabl th' manger may be constructed of concrete the same ! as the floor, nnd when- new stalls nro ! being erected the manger and floors should bo made at the same time. This construction will b more durable than separato construction. Cost of a slnglo stall la about six dollars. Concrete Floors Best. Concrete Is the best and most sanitary floor that can bo used in a dairy barn and efforts should bo made to have such floors installed whenever a barn Is being constructed. Stnblo floors should ho Inid with a slope or pitch either to a common center Of to one end of the barn. A slope of ono or two Inches In eight foot is ample, and three-fourths to one Inch la usualy considered deetrablo for tho avoragp cow stall. In the figure are shown a good gutter design. The rail of a gutter should be about one Inch In 50 feet, but this may ary to moot conditions. If a cistern Is used for retaining the liquid manure it may be dcirable to have moro rail. Mangers for Cow Stalls. Many questions nrlio as to the type of manger to use when one la building or remodeling a bnrn. In tho flgure is shown a design which Is both sanitary and modern. This typo Is considered host slnccs less work la required In keopink tho walk in front of the cows clean. A cow. while eating, Eometlmes throws somo of tho grain and hay forward and out of reach, but with thin construction it Is a very easy mnttor to return the feed to the manger. If It seems doslrablo partitions may bo built between each manger. In many ways this Is to bo desired, especially whore cows aro In tho habft of stealing grain from their neighbor.

A device for converting a rcclproI eating motion of the windmill into a ! rotary motion is shown In the lllusWindmill Rod and Attachment. trations. Drawing No. 1 shows the windmill rod at center of stroke, writes Geo. Gilbert In the Farm and Home. Two arms, b b. are attached to tho rod. It is readily seen that If tho rod moves up or down the ratchet wheel will be turned in the same di rectlon. and with this arrangement there Is no dead center. Sketch No 2 shows tho arrangement of hangers, driving shaft ami pulley. Holt a. drlvarms b, and ratchet arm c should work freely in he joints and bo heavy enough to do the 'work without spring ing. This device can be easily and cheaply made and sbould be very useful fdr operating small machines. The arms and tho wheel may be made of either hardwood or iron.

As the weight per volume of grain sometimes varies considerably, the measure here lllustratod has been provided, sys the Scientific American. It consists of two sections, one of which Is threaded In the other, nnd may be adjusted to Adjustable Grain Measure. make a bushel of larger or smaller size, according to the weight of the grain. Planning the Farm Home. Something of beauty, ns well as of order, convenience and good sanitary conditions Is needed to make a farm homo attractive. A wide sweep of lawn between tho house and the road, a background of trees and shrubbery, low flowering bushes planted close to the foundation and serving, as It wore, to bind the house to tho soil; vine's over the porch or bordering tho window frames all these do much to beautify tho houso. From the erection of the first house, however modest, the homemaker should lau for the future as well its for today. Hp should avoid building too near the road, romcmborlng that prosperity may ere long en able him to bulhl a lancer home, which f may of en 1 most natlafactorlly placed ' in front of the old one. Harns and other buildings should be located in such relation o one another as to allow for Improvements which will result in a harmoatoun whole. Corn Producer Wins $500. Peter G.

How sur1 prising It is then upon examining ono ! under tho microscope to obsorve tho various parts of which it is composeu. ino part marneu u is tno glossa or, as we may call It. tho tonguo. It Is covered with hair. Is very flexible and whon In ubc. taking up liquids. Is alternately extended and retracted. Lb Is tho labollum. It is spoon-shaped, nnd covered with llttlo processes which differ In nppearanco from hairs and thorofore no doubt It has somo function (as yet undetermined) to perform. Tho glossa Is hollow, ns is clearly shown In tho end vlow of the cut. and communicates with tho outsldo world by moans of a groove marked G. If now tho amount of nectnr in a flower is small it may bo taken up though this hollow In the glossa. If the amount Is so largo that all of It cannot bo taken up through this tube tho labial palpi, marked L P. aro used in addition, nectar being drawn up between the labial palpi and the glossa. If still more is to bo taken up tho maxillae (marked Max) aro brought Into piny being folded Into place ovor the Inblal palpi as tho labia palpi are over tho glossn.

Oats should bo sooded Just as early as tho ground can be workod. As soon as tho ground can bo worked In the spring peas may bo planted. Agriculture intelligently followed calls for the hlghost typo of talent nnd Intellect. One of the greatest pources of weeds on tho farm is the sowing of impure soed. Hees will make Just as much honey In a sosp box or a nail keg ns In tho finest hive ovrr made. Too many farmers try to grow sweet corn without any or with too little commercial fertilizer. The horeo's feet should be watched for signs of cracked heel or scratches during cold, muddy weather. During slippery woathor seo that your wagon Is In good condition nnd pulling as lightly as possible. Profitable oat culture constats In good hoavy northern-grown Feed, a wcll-proparcd seed bed and early seeding. Tho hive In which tho bees rear their young is not whero wo look for honey, but in tho super, or second story. Tho winter affords time to spend n good part of rough dnys at repairing tho farm Implements and in mending Bomo of tho smnller tnols that will soon be needed.
