Without this the ammonia will to a
large extent escape and float Off into
the surrounding atmosphere. Inde-
pendent of the health OF the animals,
permitting the ammonia to escape Is
a waste which no farmer can afford.
Bear in mind that this ammonia is the
most expensive fertilizer that you
have to buy. In the form Of nitrate of
soda, 1t often costs us $35 per ton,
while muriate Of potash can be bought
for about $40, sometimes for about
S35: phosphoric acid about $45 per ton.
Again, the plaster Is generally worth
its cost II applied directly to the land.
l generally buy the plaster In carload
lots, costing from $3.50 to SO per ton.
If you haven't used 1t In the past, try
1t and just see how nice 1t will seem
for you to sit down to the milking in
a clean, sweet smelling stable.
Regularity In milking and feeding Is
necessary for best results. Many farm
ers pay little heed to either point. Gen.
orally farmers are compelled to depend
to a greater or less extent upon hired
help to do their milking. In all such
cases the farmer should be careful to
see that his hired men are good milk
ers. There are plenty Of shiftiess fell
lows, who. when left to themselves,
will ruin the best COW by bad milking.
A poor mixer II an abomination. No
cow can keep a sound udder for any
considerable time unless she Is MIXED
clean at least twice daily. and even
this does not quite cover the ground.
She must be MIXED quickly or else she
becomes a stripper-that is, she will
hold back her milk for awhile, and then
IL is but a short time before she has
lost one or more of her quarters.

One of the largest and most success
L. Bronson Of Cortland county, n. Y,
whose dairy business Is conducted on
the same plans as a modern depart
ment store. In a recent issue Of the
American Agricultural Mr.. Bronson
tells of the Importance Of light and
ventilation in the COW barn as follows:
Cows are infinitely better off in a
cold, dry stable with plenty of light
and good air than In an overheated
dark room. | never knew a cow to
get pneumonia or tuberculosis from be-
Ing In cold, dry, well lighted quarters,
but l have known whole herds to be
affected and destroyed from overhead
ed, III lighted stalls. The component
parts of air are oxygen and nitrogen.
Oxygen supplies life to the animal
kingdom and nitrogen to the vegetable.
Without oxygen animal life cannot be
maintained, for the reason hat when
pure air Is taken into the lungs the
oxygen Is appropriated to vitalize the
blood.
There are people, / believe, who
wrongly suppose that all cold stables
are supplied with fresh air. This is a
mistake, and you should see to 1t that
your COW barn is supplied with intakes
through which fresh air from the out
side shall be introduced in front of the
cattle. and then provide a central shaft
leading from near the stable floor, up
through the stable and through the
roof. This Is an outtake and will main
tain a moderate current, drawing the
Impure gases from the bottom up
through the shaft and into the open
space.
by that | mean thoroughly lighted

Client to give your stock a room as well
lighted as your own living room. Do
not minimize the Importance Of sun
shine, for ii Is one of the most eff
fective germ destroyers in nature.
Thirty minutes Of sunshine will gen.
orally put out Of business many dis
ease germs. An abominable, poorly
lighted and ventilated stable can be
changed over into a model one at
triHing expense. This can be done
generally by the farmer and his help
without employing skilled Dr. high
priced labor.
Land plaster should be used liber-
ally. Sprinkle It ove the drop when
fiiled and again after It II cleaned.
The mixing Of the plaster with the
compost induces Q change wherein the
