PLAN FOR DAIRY BARN.


side to the other, which mixes up the
cattle and annoys the herdsman. In
cleaning the barn where a litter car
rier is used there is no advantage in
having the cutters near each other, as
only one can be cleaned at time, any
way. In case one wishes to use
spreader or wagon and haul the ma
nure to the field at once, which on the
most of farms is very incOnvenient and
impracticable for various reasons,
can see no necessity of having drive
way through the barn, as III this case
the silo would have to be placed at one
corner, which makes feeding still more
complicated.
Again, with the system of ventila-
ton shown here, the pure air comes
in at the ends of the feeding alley,
where the COWS breathe it before it is
contaminated by flowing over the gut
tiers, and then, passing between the
COWS, finds an exit at the wall between
the studding and rafters and finally at
the ventilatOr. This is the King Sys-
tenn OF ventilation, in which the air is
sucked in near the floor and carried
through shaft to within one foot of
the ceiling, where the cold air spreads
out over the room and gradually warns
and becomes laden with impurities as
it falls and is gradually drawn to the
exit shafts. The shafts can be made
by boxing up the space between the
2 by studding and rafters. To make
an air tight job along the sheathing on
the roof use building paper.
The frame is made balloon style,
2 by 6's being used for studding eight
cen feet long, two foot centers. Joists
and upper ties should be 2 by 8; joists
two foot centers, ties and purlin posts
six feet apart. These should be double
and dashed on either side of the ties.
The outside dimensions of the barn are
shown on plan. The lower floor should
be made of cement, the upper floor of
matched common or a good grade Of
shiplap, SO the dust cannot get through.
Modern swing stanchions should be
used.
The milk room should have a cement
tank through which cold water from
the we'll should flow and then pass
out into the stock tank. 1t should be
fitted up with gasoline engine and line
shaft, so that all machinery necessary
in handling the milk and churning can
be driven and so that a milking ma
chine can be operated if desired. a
good plan is to inclose the engine in
one corner to prevent the odor Of gas
oline and lubricating oil from entering
thp milk

BUILDING THE
DAIRY BARN.

My plan is intended to represent a
barn for cows only. writes a well
known dairyman in the Homestead.
1t is intended for dairy farm where
speciality is made of dairying The
horses, dry COWS and calves are sup
posed to be kept in other buildings
separate from the COW barn. One does
not have to be in the business long till
he sees the wisdom of such a course.
By so doing he is able to keep the COW
barn more sanitary. The calves baWl-
ing in their pens do not irritate the
COWS, nor are the dry COWS constantly
mixing up with the mixers in and out
of the barn, which often renders it diff
cult to feed according TO their needs.
The old adage has it that mo house is
large enough for two families" and,
while we have sympathy and can find
excuse for the man who cannot af-
ford two barns, he can at least sepa-
rate the COW from the horse and other
animals with a tight, dust proof par
titiOn.
The plan suggested here shows the
mately $50 tons Of corn silage, which
would feed twenty-eight head Of COWS
321 days at forty pounds per cow each
day. 1t will be seen that the feed is
all in close proximity to the cows, the
bins containing chop feed and concen-
trates and the silage all being con-
nected with the feeding alley and
where the COWS cannot get into the
bins when turning in or out. Person
ally 1 think it much better to have
the feeding alley in the center and let
the COWS face it than to have the al
leys along the wall with a drive through
the center.
Where one person is stabling the
COWS it Is much handler to stanchiOn
them where they face, as they file in
one at time and take their places,
when the herdsman can Immediately
close the stanchion, and when they are
all in they are fastened. The other
way the COWS are darling from one
