ton OF the barn should be set off by

be kept In their particular portion and
all odor kept away.
Poor Butter.
II Is a fact that the butter produced
In the west is poorer In quality than
the butter that was produced Is or 20
| years ago, and) this is due largely to
| the fact that the milk is not cared for
In the same manner that the butter
maker in the creamery in the past
cared for the milk before separating
II. BY keeping the separator clean
and by cooling down the cream or the
milk rs the case may be. and keeping
II cool. 1t is possible to make oven
better butter today than ever before
because blttermakers as rule are
more efficient and skillful in their OBJ
crations than in the past.

economical material for the frame
work and construction, will provide a
barn which with time considered will
be not only the least expensive but
also the most healthful for the cows
and conducive to the production OF the
most sanitary, the purest and the most
profitable milk. This is because Il
will be as easy TO produce sanitary
milk as that which is unsanitary. and
IL Will be produced cheaper because
the cows will be In n more healthy
condition, and warm. well ventilated
barn will be conducive 20 the greatest
possible flow of milk for the least
amount of feed given.
Clean Barn Lots.
Not only should the barn be we'll ar
ranged but the lots are OF equal i'm
portance. The barn. by all means
should be built on one OF the highest
points OF the farm SO that all moisture
will drain in all directions and keey
the barn lots as well as the interior o
the barn free from standing mud ant
