stands first, followed by shavings.
These materials are free from the large
number of bacteria and molds that
often accompany straw. The bedding
to be used in any particular locality
will depend upon what is available
and the comparative cost. Some
objections have been raised to the
use of sawdust and shavings as bed
ding material. Sawdust makes man
ure so light that loss of ammonia and
sometimes the loss from fire fanging
occurs. Applied in large quantities
to the soil 1T may be injurious from
the effect of the acids set free par
ticularly fannie acid in the case of
oak sawdust. The reasonable use of
sawdust on most soils, however, is
not injurious and may be very benef
cial.

There are a great many different
kinds of barns put up for use in
stabling COWS. These variations in
structure come largely from the
difference in locality, but mostly
from the fact that different builders
or dairymen have their own ideas as
regards comfort and cleanliness.
The types of barns may be divided
as follows: Basement barn, one-story
barn, round barn and covered barn
yard. The basement barn IS general
ly built in such place as to allow
one side to be below the surface of
the ground; these are often built on
a south slope, with windows only on
one side and the ends. On account
of the deficiency of light this type is
not to be recommended, and further
it is not desirable on account of the
tendency to be moist; again the ar
rangement is nearly always so that the
upper part is used for driving in hay
and in some cases stabling horses.
This barn could be ventilated by
means of the propr system but this is
rarely done.
The one-story barn has many ad
vantages and for most climates it is

Material for Bedding.

1t is often a serious problem to sup
ply the dairy farm with sufficient
bedding. So far no satisfactory ar
rangement has been provided to do
away with bedding of some kind.
Bedding is used primarily to keep
animals clean, and the material that
will do this most satisfactorily must
be counted the best. Another pur-
pose and almost as important as the
first, is an absorbent for the urine.
Good material for bedding should
also be itself clean, which mean
primarily free from dust.
From sanitary standpoint sawdust

partition is made all around.
Probably the most sanitary method
of stabling COWS is by means of the
covered barnyard. 1t is not only the
most sanitary but is the most COM
Portable for the COWS if the winter is
not too severe. In this, however,
there will of necessity, be large
cost in construction since it requires
two roofs. The shed type of a barn
is used for one; this being SO con-
structed that absolutely no odors can
come in from the barnyard or from
the feed rooms. 1t is the general
plan to feed only the grain in the
shed; the roughage being fed in racks
out in the covered yard. This cover
ed yard should be we'll drained and
covered with straw, making it as
comfortable as possible for the COWS.
If possible wind break should be
built on at least two sides. The COWS
are kept in the covered yard except
during milking when they are taken
into the stable. This is commonly
spoken of as the milking stable. In
extremely cold weather this type is
not commendable since it does not
afford enough protection for the cows,
but in mild climates it is probably
the best. If the means is at hand, it
would ha advisable tO have the cover.
ed yard and the loft plan of a barn;
then the COWS would get maximum
of air except in very cold weather
when they could be kept inside.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-11-15
COW BARNS

the one to be preferred. In this, how
ever, there is of course no loft above
and the feed just be kept in an adj
jacent building. Where only limit
ed amount of capital is at hand this
is serious disadvantage, since it
takes but very little more capital to
make two-story barn, thereby pro-
vidiDg ample space for the storage of
feed. The one-story barn should be
built above ground, allowing plenty
of light on each side. Another point
in favor of the one STORY barn is that
there is very little chance for dust to
come from above or from odors that
come from the feed stored above.
We find, however, that in places
where this barn has been erected,
many times the provision has not
been made for ceiling; when this is
the case the barn is cold, there being
more space than the COWS can warm
comfortably. II the ceiling is added
the expense is nearly as great as
would be found in building a two
story barn.
Where two-story barn is built it
should be built the same as the one
just mentioned as regards light and
drainage. Since the object in this
case is to get as much storage room
as possible under one roof, the builder
must plan upon the length of time he
is to feed his COWS in order to build
it of sufficient size. Ii a tight cell
ing is not made this barn lis very un-
satisfactory, since the dust and dirt
above will fall down into the cows
stable. The best plan for building is
to have no connection between the
loft and the main part of the barn ex-
cept through the feed room; this will
eliminate the disagreeable feature of
feed odors. In cold climates this is
a very good type of barn, since the
feed above helps to keep the barn
warm. Ventilation may be supplied
by means of proper flues, and it as
mentioned above, there is no connec-
ton between the loft and the barn
the ventilation system should work
perfectly. If it is desired, both the
calves and the bull could be kept
under the same roof, thereby lower
ing the cost of the construction OF
the barns for them.
The above plan is for a two-story
barn and the arrangement is probably
as coed as can be worked out; local
conditions may necessitate change
and it may not be desirable to have
anything but cows under this roof.
The round barn has the advantage
of allowing more space for the same
amount of material used in construc-
ton. These are generally made
with one row of cows along the outer
edge; the cows facing in. The silo is
generally built in the center making
it very convenient for feeding, but
this has the disadvan tage of allowing
the odors from the silage to dissent
nate in the barn proper unless a tight
