az q. L. MARTIN. Professor Of Dairy
Ing, North Dakota Agricultural College)
The interior arrangement Of the
dairy barn is quite q matter Of per
ponA desires. The things to consider
are sanitation and convenience In ar
rangsment Of stalls. calf pens, bull
psn, feed bins. silo and milk room. A
study Of the floor plan In diagram (B)
may suggest an idea. sEs>tst9
One important thing to keep in
mind II the fact that feeding 10 the
only work done In front Of the COW
and the greater amount of the work is
done with the COW or behind her. In
view Of this 1t is well to have as much
space back Of the cows as the size Of
the barn will allow. There are sew
eral advantages in having the COWS
face toward the walls. This arrange
mont gives more space between the
rows Of COWS which aids In stslling
the COWS or turning thsm out. pre-
vents spattering Of manure against
the walls of the barn, 20 IL more easi-
ly kept clean, and is more convenient
In milking, especially whore the milk
ing machine Is in use. Another i'm
portant point In favor Of this plan is
the convenience In disposal Of sew
age. Only ohe sewage pipe to the
'cesspooll is needed so is less expensive
and more quickly installed t5.r
The most serious objection to facing
the COWS toward each other ID the
danger In spreading tuberculosis from
the breath. When facing out an abun-
dance Of fresh air from the intakes is
always at hand to insure health In the
animals. .#
Box Stalls.
A few box stalls are q necessity In
every dairy barn. They are needed
1T oalving time, when COW is sick
and as pens for the calves. The floor
plan shows the size and the location
OF box stalls with reference to light,
sanitation and c6nve6iefce n cream
ing the stall and caring for the ami
mails. A box stall with tho side next
to the alley provided with a calf
stanohion and low manger may
serve the double purpose for COWS and
and the animals few.
1t Is we'll to keep the bull In box
stall, and to provide an outdoor pen
In connection for exercise in the open

the animal. As matter of safety
and convenience such stalls often are
constructed of plank with gas pipe
bars next to the alley 30 the animal
may be seen and fed without enter
ing the stall.
Calf Pens.
The necessity and the location of
calf pens In the dairy barn are of
considerable Importance. The calf is
naturally very unsanitary in his habits
and requires especial care. Sunshine

his first term with seventy-rour delegates,
all who had been chosen, instructed 20 vote
for his denomination, and with men in all
parts OF the country Fastening to express
their conviction that he VIII be rencmi-

Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of War and
Republican candidate for Governor Of New
York In 1910. declared himself for President
Taft, and said that, while he remained the
sincere friend of Mr. Roosevelt, he could
not support him for the Presidential nom
inatiOn.
Speaking in Toledo. Ohio, to an audience
that filled to overfowing the Coliseum, de-
signed to hold $500 persons, President Taft
declared his opposition TO the recall of
judicial decisions. The President did not
mention Colonel Roosevelt and his Column
bus speech, but he assailed some Of the
doctrines advocated by his predecessor in
the White House. Practically every per-
son in the audience carried an American
flag, and the flags sprang into action and
the crowd applauded and cheered Mr..
Taft's declaration that the recall of de-
csions was without merit, reactionary in
stead Of progressive, revolutionary and un-
stable.
