MODERN DAIRY BARN.
Question: am contemplating the
erection of modern dairy barn,
please be kind enough to answer the
following questions:
First What air space is required
for each cow in barn that is we'll
ventilated?
Second-What metal stanchiOn do
you recommend for dairy cattle and
where can we get it?
Third-What length of stall do you
recommend from the stanchion to the
drain?
Fourth-What width of stall do you
recommend?
Answer First-We figure that there
should be 500 cubic feet of air space
per COW in we'll ventilated stable.
II you have less than this the air will
become uncomfortably warm and if
you have more the COW will not be
able to warm the air sufficiently.
Second-Two very good metal stan
chions for dairy cows are the James
Sanitary Adjustable Steel Stanchion,
manufactured by the Kent Mfg. Co.,
of FIT. Atkinson, Wisconsin. 1t is

NOT A GOOD RATION.

Question Il am milking ten Jersey
COWS that give about Is pounds of
milk per day each. | am feeding four
pounds of bran and shorts linked
equal parts) and eight pounds of
potatoes and all the salt marsh hay
they will eat. Am l feeding them
about right? | ordered oil cake and
received proteina; is this good feed,
and how much of it should | feed.
G. D. Pysht, Wash.
Answer 1 do not consider the above
ration a very good one. Marsh hay
does not contain great deal of nutri-
ment so most of the food must come
from the bran and shorts. | suggest
that you add one to two pounds OF
pIoteina to the grain ration and feed
barley instead of shorts. Proteina is
high in protein and is very good
milk producer when fed with feeds
that are high in carbohydrates. Some
dairymen feed as much as four TO six
pounds per day. Oilcake makes a
more laxative feed, but otherwise
there is very little difference.
COST OF SILO.
Question-What height and diameter

handled in the west by De Laval Co.,
of Seattle, and the London Sanitary
Steel Stall and Stanchion manufacture
ed by London Machinery Co., of Fair
field Iowa. do not know who handles
the latter in the west.
Third-The length of the stall will
depend on the size of the COW. The
average is four feet six inches and
varies from four feet for small COWS to
five feet for large COWS.
Fourth The width also depends on
the size of the cow, but generally
three feet six inches is used.
COW ABOUT TO FRESHEN.
Question Remembering your kind
ness of some time ago in giving me
ration for mich COW, come back
again with another. L have a Jersey
COW that had her first calf about Sep
TENDER list, last. She will calve again
about October 1st. Should L allow
her to 60 dry or continue milking her
until she calves? A. A. f., Zillah,
Wash.
Answer-It always is considered the
best policy to let the COW go dry
about six weeks before she is due to
freshen For a young heifer, how
ever, this may be increased to eight
weeks. The COW does much better

QUE STIONS AND ANSWERS

should a siIo be for 30 COWS? What
would be an approximate cost OF
cheap silo? Would it be well to mix
kale with cut fodder? Will it pay to
have silo where you can raise plenty
of kale? Which is the best for milk
production-silage or kale and turnip?
w. S. d., battle-ground, Wash.
Answer-The size of a silo for 30
COWS will depend on how long time
you expect to feed silage and the
amount of feed. Where the climate
is warm and pastures are green most
of the year it will not take as large
silo as where the weather is more
severe, and very little pasture avail
able. Silage may be fed to advantage
in the summer in places where pasture
is short. The best rule to follow in
ascertaining the size of silo required
is as follows: Calculate the number
of days that silage will be fed, the
pounds each COW is to receive and the
number of cows. From this you can
calculate the total pounds OF silage
required. When silage is we'll packed
it will take about 40 pounds to make
cubic foot From this calculate the
cubical contents necessary and add
about five per cent to allow for set
thing. For example, for 30 COWS re-
ceiving 40 pounds silage daily for 200
days it would require $40, 600 pounds
of silage, or about 5000 cubic feet;
adding five per cent would make it
6, 300 cubic feet. The dimensions
would need to be 16 by 80 feet, or II
by 30 feet, either one would answer
the purpose. In deciding on the
relative dimensions it must be kept
in mind that the taller the silo the
better the silage will keep, because
the pressure will be greater and there
fore the air will be completely ex-
cluded. Another point to consider is
that it must be OF such diameter
that it will allow you to feed at least
two inches off the top to keep it from
spelling The fact that air is exclud-
ed is what preserves the ensilage and
where it is exposed it soon decays.
Probably the best and most durable
silos are made of cement, but there
is large number of very good silos
in the field. Some are home made,
while others are shipped "knocked
down" from the factory. a cheap
silo made of wood will cost about
$3.50.
kale has not been very successful
silage crop. However, it is compare
lively new for that purpose, conse-
quently some method for successfully
SLIDING it may yet be worked out.
There seems to be an excess of moist
ure in kale, and the ensilage becomes
highly acid after standing few
months. kale is best fed directly
from the field, and makes very good
succulent feed for dairy cows when so
handled. II good corn ensilage can
be secured / should much prefer it to
kale. 1t is as fully succnlent and is
much more nutritious. Corn is uni

arc lights throughout the city takes
the power away from that particular
police circuit. Malina was ordered to
headquarters to report and it was an
hour after Kunihaniha fell that men
were searching for him.
Special officer Apana waded about
the stream up to his neck in water and
mud with a fourteen-foot pole which
he sounded for the body, Other officers
were called constantly to drive the

NOTHING DEFINITE YET
AS TO ARM0RY SITE

Now that the plans for having the
United States army barracks : on the
waterfront are being considered at
Washington, the question of the Terri
tory again obtaining possession of the
armory. site has been brought up once
more. Governor Frear was asked about
the subject on Saturday and said:
f'The matter has been up for the past
seven years. At times it looked as
though we might get the site back and
then again it appeared as if the war
department wanted to keep it. The
plans have been changed from time to
time, but the outlook seems to be a little
more favorable now for the Territory.
eff the war department selects a site
elsewhere for the proposed extensive
barracks system, there is a chance that
the barracks lot may be returned to the
Territory for its armory. 1t would seem
to be suitable occasion for that to be
brought about, but there is nothing def
mite yet"

AUTO LEAPS OVER
Stone WALL into
GULCH; LUCKY men

Wednesday afternoon, while they
were returning from Makawao, d. l.,
Meyer and Otto Berndt had quite a
serious accident, says the Maui News
of last Saturday. Just as they reach
eaathe bottom of the hill from the Ma
kawao Church, a rear tire blew out, and
before anything could be done to stop
the machine the steering wheel was
wrenched from Mr.. Meyers hand and
the machine jumped the stone wall at
the side of the road and landed in the
gulch.
The machine landed right side up,
and this fact alone probably saved
their lives. Mr.. Berndt escaped with
bruise or two, but Mr.. Meyer was
severely cut about the face by broken
glass, and his chest was badly hurt by
the steering wheel hitting him.
The car is pretty badly damaged hut
they are counting themselves lucky
that the accident did not prove moro
serious. Mr.. Meyer is one of thu most
careful drivers, and he was just begin
ming to feel at home driving his new
Hudson. which he has had only about
two weeks.

GETTING AFTER
THE LAST CLEAN

!. UP Day DUMP

,,An echo Of Cleanup Day sounded
at the last meeting of the Oahu LIN.
proyement Committee, when Delegate
Paul Super, from thriving Manoa,
stated that one of the piles of old cane
and other refuse which had bsen piled
on "a lot rear his home still remained.
As he had notified the garbage depart
ment, of the CITY three tiries and as
each notification had been followed by
vast silence on the part of the de-
partment accompanied by loud
absence of activity, the pile remained
Chairman Berndt informed him forth
with that he had gone to the wrong
party, as now that Cleanup Day was
over, the garbage department was no
longer handling the disposition of the
piles of garbage which remained and
that Doctor Pratt, general health Of
fieer of the board of health, was seeing
that these were carted away, an auto
truck of the board being called into
service for the purpose
As Mr.. Super's complaint had been
the first for some time, it was taken
for granted at the meeting that the pile
near his place was the last, and as the
board of health has been made ac-
quainted with, it is probably gone by
this time. Chairman Berndt remarked
that is was how impossible to get the
garbage department out of its daily
routine, having sunk into it once again
and refusing to be disturbed

STILL HOPE COTTON
CROPS WILL GROW

That it may be possible to eradicate
the boll-weevil from Hawaii is the opin-
ion! of h. L. Kerr, OF the cotton grow
ers' association, if a parasite can be
secured to work in connection with the
present method of cutting the plants
back each wear. i!.'4-
Last year the worm was found in the
bolls in great numbers, but cutting back
and the burning of the cuttings has
reduced the pest to a minimum, and with
a parasite to work in conjunction with
the growers it is expected there will
be no trouble in getting rid of the
pest.
1t is even hoped by the more san
guine, that the method Of cutting back
the plants and burning the trimmings
at once viii eradicate the pest without
the necessity of a parasite.
