Many other cases are cited In the

factories apparently is immune from
the disease, and sanitary precautions
which have. been taken in some Of the
larger factories have been ineffectual.
The atmosphere must Of necessity con-
tain the fumes Of phosphorus, and they
are deadly.
Not all the men and girls who are
poisoned die, of course. Some OF
them check the disease early by q rad

removed. Those who are not willing
to be manned in this way generally
die as a result Of absorbing the pol

opens upward when grain and water
are given. Hay is placed In the hay
rack from the front. The partitions
are so constructed that It Is almost i'm.
possible for a COW to step upon the
udder or teat Of one lying down next
to her. This feature alone Is worth
the cost Of several stalls to the own

A WOODEN mat is laid over the con.

permitting the cleansing Of the en-.

II It seems desirable the manager may
be constructed Of concrete the same

being erected the manger and floors
should be made at the same time. This
construction will be more durable than
separate construction. Cost Of q

Concrete Floors Best.

tary floor that can be used in a dairy
barn and efforts should be made TO

of the more important sections Of his
revised code are as follows:

There shall be no continuous clinch-
