.IINTS FOR FARMERS
The Dairy Barn.

The floor of any COW barn should
be of cement IL order 10 be absolute
~ sanitary. Many authorities advc-
cate covering the cement directly IN
der the COW with wood so as to do
away with the coldness of the cemea:-
which is undoubtedly a liberal CON
ductor of both heat and cold.
An excellent plan is to have shed
about thirty-seven feet wide, facing
the cows outward. This width permits
a five foot alleyway in front of each
cow, with a cement manger or cement
feeding floor two feet six inches and
standing space of about four feet ten
inches to five feet, with cutters four
teen to eighteen inches wide, the re
naming space being left for a drive
way or alley behind the cows. This
gives plenty of room to drive a wagon
through, if desired, or to run a litter
carrier.
The width of your COW stall should
be from three feet three inches to
three feet nine inches, according to
the size of your cows. One should
bear in mind that in building a dairy
barn the secret of sanitation is to elm
mate everything possible in the barn
which will take up dust. filth. odors
and germs.-Kimhall's Dairy Farmer

Quality In Cattle.

High class animals always have the
most quality. 1t is shown in a fine.
silky coat Of hair. in mellow. elastic
skin and in fine bones and neat joints.
There is lots Of difference in the coat
of hair. One COW may have hair that
is fine and soft ana thick. There is Il
very fine and close Undercoat and then
longer, COarSer hair Such hair is d
great protection in winter. Other ami
mails, and they are the most common,
have coarse. long hair. Their bones
are also likely to be big and coarse.
When an animal has plenty Of quality
you can easily take the skin in the
hand between thumb and fingers and
pull it out from the side of the body.
1t will be mellow and roll up some
what in the hand If the COW lacks
quality her skin will be thick. tight
and not easily taken in the hand. Fine
quality as seen in the hair, skin and
bone means with the beef animal that
when killed there will be much less
waste Of the carcass than if the con
ditions show lack of quality So also
the dairy COW with plenty of quality
IS a better producer of milk than if
the quality is lacking.-C. S. Plumb,

GOOD SAND FOR ROADS.
Value of Waste Product From Cali
fornja Oil Wells

Two hundred tons Of rich black oil
sand from the Sunset wells at Visalia
Cal, will be used on some Of the roads
Of Tulare county, in California. this
summer. Superintendent Twaddle
chairman of the county governing
board, has been experimenting and
found it satisfactory. The sand comes
from the wells mixed with the oil
When this flows into the stump hole
the sand sinks to the bottom and sep
arates itself, the oil running off. Grad
ually the sand piles up around the
derricks and at the mouth of the pipe
and fills a large part Of the stump
There are piles forty feet deep on the
Adeline, MaricOpa road, Oil and Gate
City properties. which have accumu-
lated in the course of four or five
years. The sand coming with this
heavy oil is different from that found
Kern river product.
Those who have tried it say it is su-
perior for roads TO any common sand
that may be mixed with oil 1t has a
binding quality that is lacking in arti-
fetal products. Before its adoption in
Tulare county it was used quite lit
tie on highways in the immediate vi
cinity of the oil fields, it being given
TO whoever would load and haul
it away. A wide use of this byprod-
uct by roadmakers will be a boom to
the heavy oil producers Of Sunset by
Kidding them of nuisance and trans
forming it into a source Of revenue.

Bishop Fallows of Chicago says it is

The customers at Bogles were her

Repairinu Farm Machinery,

a machine is to be used it will be
ready and in good repair. In putting
a machine away after a seasons work
it is suggested that note be made of
the repairs needed. These notes may
be written on tags and attached to the
machine During the winter the tool
may be taken into the shop. with
which every farm should be provided,
and the machine put in first class

FiIIino Washy Places In Fields.

If there is no other trash on the
farm for filling washy places in the
fields. straw manure from stables is
excellent. The straw will fill the places
and catch and hold all OF the soil that
washes into them. The manure in the
straw will help to make the ground
more productive when it is again culti-
waited. Never pillow IN 4 gully with

Feeding Dairy Cows.

OF the mistakes made in feeding
dairy cattle perhaps the one Of under
feeding is the more common. 1t is a
very serious mistake to feed a COW
only that required to keep her body
and then not feed her enough in add
ton to produce what milk she can. If
n COW declines in weight while giving
milk it shows that she is not receiving
sufficient food. as a COW if not fed
enough will produce milk for time
at the expense of her bOdy-that is.
she will take the surplus flesh from
her body and convert it into milk and
thereby will lose in live weight On
the other hand when a COW is being
Overfed il may be detected in a short
time by the fact that she will put ON
flesh. This condition may be corrected
by giving her only the amount she
needs and will use for milk produc-
ton. This means feeding enough to
maintain practically uniform weight
