THE CLEAN BARNARD.
II Is Absolutely Essential to the Pro
duction Of Pure Milk.

The barnyard Is considerable fac
tor I'm the maintaining OF good dairy
conditions. IL is impossible with a
dirty barnyard TO maintain good dairy
conditions. This is because the barn.
yard is used every day, and II II is
contaminated the COWS also will be
contaminated and the air also in the
vicinity OF the barn will be contain
mated
The necessity for keeping the barn
yard clean is aow so we'll recognized
that no one thinks of trying to pro
duce the best OF milk without having
n barnyard that is also clean. Even
undertaking has been resorted to.
20 give the necessary conditions OF
cleanliness.
The clean barnyard does not have
dirty water standing in Il. Il is so
well drained that the water Is drawn
OF as fast as IL comes down IN the
form OF rain. The shorter the period
during which water is in the barn
yard the less plant food will il carry
on because the less time will Il have
in which TO dissolve the fertilizing
materials.
II has been found that In barn
yards on quite heavy clay the drains
should be laid under the fences along
the side Of the barnyard Otherwise
the animals tramp the clay hard over
the tile and make IL impossible for the

Handy Bottle Holder.

A convenient way to keep bottles
OF flavoring extract where they will
not be knocked over and broken. as is
so often the case when they are kept
in the kitchen cupboard, is to nail a
narrow strip of wood ON the inside
of the cupboard door. not quite the
width of the door. supported at each
END by a small block, making the
width OF the space between the strip
and the door the width of the bottles
Another strip of wood about one
inch square is nailed one and one-half
inches below for the bottles to rest
upon.
Slip the bottles between the door
and the upper strip Of wood. with the
label side out, and you have a perfect
ly safe place to keep them.

BAN ON BOX HANGERS.
Dairy Barns Now Being Built With
out Them.

There are many farmers who do not
approve OF the use OF box hangers.
The best dairy barns are now built
without them. Ii has been realized
that they are not only an unnecessary
encumbrance but often they are ex-
tremely dangerous The box manger
can not be kept clean-it hinders
ventilation and IL prevents the COW
from feeding in her natural position.
With small corners and tall sides
the box can not be satisfactorily
swept nor cleaned of the odd scraps
of feed which collect. This accumu-
lating dirt and dust becomes moldy
and rotten, and attracts flies and rats.
1t is further harmful. in that II be
comes gradually eaten by the COW and
is harmful to her. The box manger
affords a roosting place for chickens,
whose drOppings become mixed with
the cows feed, with injurious effects.
Sweeping or shoveling the waste ma
terid from the Manager does not thor
oughly clean the box, but removes
only the very largest pieces of dirt.
the small particles and dust remain
ing being able TO do as much harm as
the larger ones.

BIRTHDAY CAKES.
Homemade Boards of Novel Design
for Serving Them.

In some families where there are
several children and birthday ami
versaries come around every month
or so birthday cake board is made
10 serve for each celebration, which
is observed by the making OF a large
cake adorned with candles. II is al
most impossible to find in the shops
such a board as is needed to hold the
cake and display il TO the best ad-
vantage, so some sisters of the little
ones have designed their own birth
day cake boards with great success.
ANnovel one of home made design
and construction was cut from wide
board and measured over two feet in
diameter II was covered with crepe
paper and holes were bored an inch
or so apart for holding the small
birthday candles. A flickering border
of pink or yellow candlelight gave an
effective appearance to the cake sur
roundings. The real birthday can
dies. of the right number. were placed
on top of the cake. each one being set
in delicate pink or yellow rosebud
holder.
A more elaborate cake board was
somewhat smaller in circumference,
not over two feet. and it was raised
on small but substantial legs. so that
the board itself stood three inches
above the table. There was a fiat
covering of pink crepe paper over the
top and sides OF the board and a Dor
der or edge that was made Of a double
width of the paper frilled around the
edge of the board. then pulled out so
that il looked as though the board
had been partly buried in huge flow
err petals. The frilled paper stood up
little above the level Of the board
and inside of the petal border quite
close TO the edge was fastened a row
OF crepe paper roses that lay rather
fat and appeared to nestle under the
wide petal border. The roses were ar
ranged so closely together that the
petals touched and sometimes over
Tapped.

GRASS AND The DAIRY.
The Lesson Of This Year OF Abundant
Pasturage.

This season has been a great one
for grass. and the dairy. The pastures
have been been good and the returns
from the pastures have been large.
The prices OF farm produce have kent
up In spite Of the large supply OF raw
material. and the farmer producing
milk and butter has not experienced
the low prices of some former years.
This time Of pasturage abundance
was not one that could have been fore
seen and therefore no farmers
have been able 10 greatly in
crease the number OF their COWS to
enable them 10 make the most OF the
grass crop in the pastures. Just
when they wanted to buy. other farm
ers also wanted 10 buy. with no one
willing to sell This Is an Illustration
OF the truth that has been previously
noted in this paper. that a dairy COW
can be produced only after a lapse of
years.
Therefore. declares the Kansas
Farmer, the production OF first-class
dairy COWS should so on. in all years.
when there are good pastures and
when there are poor pastures. The
farmer can anticipate the coming OF
the flush years. but in no other way
can he be ready for them when they
do come. That they do come along
about so often is a weH-demonstrated
fact. Fortunate are the men that this
year have all the cows they need to
help them harvest their pasture
grasses.
