Too much stress cannot be laid -
tho fact that we have no better disin
fectant than good, old.fashioned sun
light. For this reason IN planning
our barns much more attention should
be paid 90 the question OF securing
sufncient light. II Ia said by authort
ties on the subject that four square
feet OF window light should be allowed
for each COW IN tho barn. Long win.
dows reaching we'll TO the ceiling have
been found the most satisfactory for
the reason that the light COMING
through them can reach all parts OF
the barn better than n the short win
dows are used. II Ia Also OF importance

Through mistaken ideas Of some
writer's. many OF our farmers have de-
veloped the idea that 10 keep cows
healthy and comfortable and TO pro
duee sanitary milk II IL absolutely
necessary 10 have expensive barns. As
matter Of fact many Of tho dairy
barns where sanitation II the primary
object are quito inexpensive.
On the other hand n II is 20 be
conveniently arranged TO embody the
most accepted sanitary features, II IL
very essential that some attention be
given 90 the plans and specifications
Of the barn that is 10 house the dairy
herd 10 the best advantage. Every
detail Of a new barn should be care
fully worked out before actual con.
struction takes place.
The illustration here shown will, Il
10 hoped. give the builder some new
ideas a. TO how the barn can be made
more sanitary.
In building q dairy barn. or any
other kind Of a barn for that matter,
the plans must be worked out to suit
different conditions and locations
Hardly any two sites would permit
exactly the same plan being used.
II wholesome and sanitary milk is
20 be produced the farmer should
realize that tho cows must be kept
out OF the mud as much a. possible
Conditions IN and around the barn c&n,
In many cases. be greatly improved by
draining and grading Draining is not
Of itself sufficient. a. the tramping Of
the cattle soon puddles the surface.
thus practically preventing tho water
from reaching the tiles below.
The harnynrd should have good
slope. such A. will insure good surface
drainage. and should have a good top
layer Of gravel or cinders. In many
places this may involve q great deal
OF work. but even n the grading can.
not all bo done In one year arrange
ments should be made BY which at
least part OF II is done every year.
