Six Ways In Whica It May Be Vastly

improved.
There are six ways In which the ay
erage dairy bara can L. vastly i'm
proved
In the first place. most Of the stables
need better ventilation and light. They
need more ard better kept WINDOW sur
faces and facilities for changing the air
without exposing the COWS TO drafts.
In the second place. there should be
u ceiling between the floor of the NOV
and the cows. In barns where hay is
stored over the cows it is dangerous TO
leave the defective floor without some
sort OF ceiling. The chance of fire Is
much greater, and a sanitary condition
OF the stable is almost impossible If the
dust and hay are allowed to fall
through upon the cows.
Third. The stables should have good
floors. Cracks in the floor are breeding
places for bacteria, and they catch and
bold an accumulation OF filth hat fills
the stables with bad odors.
Tying the Cows.
Fourth Tying the cows can be
greatly improved upon. The old fash
Toned rigid stanchion is neither com
Portable no: convenient. The cows
should have a small degree of freedom
at least. This can be provided by the
newer makes of stanchions or by a
chain or halter. The great objection to
the last two is the difficulty of keeping
the COW clean, and right here is the
fifth way In which the stable AN be
improved. Fix the cutters so that they
will keep the cow clean and at the
same time save all the manure. | have
been in barns where the platform was
so short that when the COW would lie
down she could not keep out Of the
gutter. ! have been i'm other stables
where The gutter was simply a coupe
Either practice is bad The best plan
is to fix the floor in such a way that It
Will accommodate the cows and give
them ample room for lying down ON
fortably. Have the gutter about four
inches deep and built water tight. This
all the liquid manure, keeps the
clean and makes it much easier
to care for the stables and the stock.
Handling the Manure.
The sixth point which comes to my
mind at this time is an improved meth
oil in handling the manure. THROWN
It out OF the window is insanltary ANA
often inconvenient. The manure piles
up against the barn, injuring the paint
and at the same time losing much OF
It's value as a fertilizer. The other
plan of shoveling it into wheelbarrows
wheeling it out and dumping il in
he yard is little better. Use some kind
a carrier, an overhead one preferred
and unload the manure right into the
'preader. The carrier is always out OF
he way, there are no unsightly planks

Use a wheelbarrow, the manure pile is
avoided, and all the manure is saved

teats of a COW with the hand of the
mixer placed in proper position. On
either side of the card are columns
shaded to indicate the percentage OF
fat present In the first milk drawn
from the COW and in the last milk
drawn. The rules on the cow are as
follows:
The COW is a living machine. Kindly
treatment entails less labor and gives
more milk. Good work improves the
living machine.
Milk clean. Clean milking develops
the udder and increases the quantity of
milk, and you receive richer milk. Re
member that the milk last drawn is by
far the most valuable. You should
wear tidy and clean clothes. Have the
pail clean as well as the creamery can.
Thoroughly clean the udder by rubbing
with a piece of linen. Wash the hands
thoroughly before milking. Let the
udder he quite dry before you begin to
milk.
Milk with dry hands. Seize the teats
with the whole hand. Keep n gentle
pressure OIL the udder. Milk as fast rs
you can, and never cease working until
the milk iS whoIlv 1pa wn Don't Strain

member the value of the last drops.
If there be soreness or Jumps in I'D

unnatural colored milk, don't mix that
milk with any other, and don't send TO

| There have been such n demand for

SO many has been placed in the

in spite of the fact that he has fifteen

This article does not infer. how
ever, that those desiring telephone
connection most do without, but it
does mean that more drops and
Jacks will be added to the board
and which will give greater capa-
city. The Lumber of new phones
that can be accommodated depends
entirely upon how much the capacity

there are three hundred and fifty tele-

there will easily be 400.
