Three Floor Plans os Round Barn.


between the circular and oblong forms
would amount to a goodly sum.
The efficiency and economy Of labor
in the circular barn Is easily seen.
Everything Is under one roof, one
feed room serves for all. there is no
wading through drifts from barn to
barn In winter. and by use Of feed
carriers and wagon to gather
manure, labor and time are reduced
to a minimum.
The cut is reproduced from a de-
sign by the author and requires little
explanation. The first floor is the
basement floor, and contains stanch-
ions for 39 cows. pens for sheep and
swine, four calving pens. milk room
provided with separator, testing ap-
pliance, churn, etc. feed room. root
bin and an 1S-foot silo. There is a
driveway behind each row of stalls
to allow of a cart being driven in to
remove manure, and the feed Is
handled In a hand cart, similar to
those used by all up-to-date dairymen.
slightly elevated driveways. 1t con-
tains stall room for 10 horses, the
main granary, carriage and machinery
rooms. The floor under the horses
is rendered water tight by two layers
OF matched flooring sealed and coat
ed with tar compound. The liquid
manure from both floors is conveyed
by drains to a cement cistern.
The third floor is reached by short
viaduct, and here the silo is filled and
all thrashing done, Hay and bundles
are unloaded by means OF two circular
hay carriers. Water from the we'll is
pumped by windmill into storage
tank Just above the silo on the third
floor, thence being piped all through
the barn and house.
The floor of the second story is
supported by the partition studs OF
the first floor, while the third floor
and roof are upheld by the silo and
four-inch posts. Six ventilating shafts
run from the first floor up the side
walls to the apex of the roof.
While the round barn may have Its
faults. in the opinion Of Prairie Farm
er, 1t ls becoming to be considered
much superior to other forms In many
ways, and It's adherents are increasing
rapidly. especially in the dairy sec
| tions. ...

STRiPPINGS.

Any fool can spend money, but It
takes brains to earn 1t.
Do not let the cows get hungry and
uneasy. Give them their esilage and
grain and plenty of hay.
Upon every farm where animals are
kept for profit there should be place
provided for sick animals.
A man may be wise and not know
1t, and again he may think he Is wise
and still be awfully mistaken.
1t is a very poor cow that will not
respond to good care. generous feed.
ing and comfortable surroundings.
Butter partakes quickly of the i'm
purities in the air that surrounds It..
For this reason butter should not be
kept In any place where undesirable
odors exist.
Place salt where the cows can help
themselves daily. They are the best
judges of the amount they should
have, A lump Of rock salt placed In
box In the yard Is the best way to
do this.

PARASITES IN DAIRY HERD.
They Look Like Real Cows, But They
Are Not.

The average dairy herd has several
of these enemies of profit in 1t. They
fasten themselves to the farmers
pocketbooks and suck necessarily.
The patience that the average farm
er has with free feeders is indeed very
pathetic; such self-sacrifice is seldom
equaled The farmer who has pur-
chased gold bricks is a thing of the
past; however, you probably have
several gold bricks around your place
now, II you would just take the
trouble to find them. You are the
dupe of some old dumb brute, who
boards on your place. You would also
find what cows deserve credit for that
neat little cream check that comes in
so handy every week
l once heard one Of these old free
feeders remark: Actually. am
ashamed to look Farmer Jones In the
face when he comes down to feed alley
and give me my supper. He is so
easy"
No, you don't have to speculate on
the board of trade nor with cheap
mining stock to get swindled Are you
going to stand for this forever and
ever? The scales and Babcock test
are your only salvation. But It takes
so much time and is SO much trouble"
you say.
Well. there are no gains without
palms," and is It more difficult than to
keep cows that are eating up your
profits every day? Do you expect the
COW to come and tell you that she Is
not earning her board? A sensible.
sober COW that is In her right mind
won't do It. Do not leave your purse
wide open for those parasites, for they
will certainly make your will lean and
sad looking.
No matter how hard you work with
your cows: how careful you are with
their feed and management, declares
the Homestead, II some of them are
eating up the profits of the others
what has your care and labor netted
you? You simply cannot tell the
| good cows from the poor ones unless
you weigh and test. What you think
is your best COW may have her ac
count In red Ink and still steadily be
over-drawing. Get your neighbor In
terested In this sort of work. Tall
to the creamery man about 1t. He
will be glad to help you in any way
that he can. Some arrangement may
be made by which he would do yoL
testing for you. He would at least al
low you the use of his tester.
There Is nothing complex or dih
cult about this work; Just simple
everyday business. II you were in 9
boat and 1t should spring leak, yo,
would certainly End 1t and plug I
up. Now. find the hole through which
your profits are leaking little by little
and plug 1t up with a good COW tina

great ship" Don't be humbugged any
longer; get busy; weigh and test.

function, II is transmitted largely
through the sire. Be sure and get a
sire that is from better milk produc.
ing strain than your own cows, and
notice that he has the power of trans.
mitting his own characteristics to the
offspring. The best calf to raise, then,
Is the one that shows most largely
the qualities of the, sire. Observe
closely In connection with this and
1t will be found that 1t is generally
the calves of cows that show the
greatest Improvement from feed and
better care that are best to keep.
With these conditions 1t is always
advisable to raise as many calves as
possible, with the expectation of dis.
carding many Of them when two or
three years old, or even before that
time, II we expect any tendency to
In milk production. In-andin breed
as much as possible In order to re-
duce to a minimum the tendency to
revert, by breeding the sires to the
heifers or to other which closely re-
semble them. and you will have a
basis for good strain Of cows. How
ever. during this time we must not
lose sight of the fact that better feed
and care has great deal to do with
the Improvement of the herd. This is
particularly the case In the develop
ment of a heifer. Feed them good
rich, nitrogenous feed during their
growing period. Give them plenty Of
exercise and fresh air and a good,
clean, sanitary place to sleep. After
the heifers have produced their sec.
ond calf. II they have not come up to
the standard of good COW, discard
them and continue to breed from
those that produce milk and butter
fat at q profit. To carry out these
principles requires considerable time
and money, but IL will bring results.

PRODUCING Food Quality.

Much poor milk. cream and butter
is produced because of dirty utensils
Careful methods In drawing the milk
and In properly cooling It are set at
naught II the milk Is strained into an
unclean can and allowed to remain
there. It Is not necessary that the
dirt be present In sufficient quantities
to be seen by the naked eye In order
to render the can UNFIT for use. After
It has been cleaned and dried the tin
should have q clean. dry appearance
and should not be greasy to the
touch. A greasy coating ON the In,
terior Of milk can will spoil milk or
cream In . very few hours, II doesn't
cost any more to keep tho utensils
clean and the results obtained arr
more satisfactory.
