q milk room near the barn Is neces.
sary and so constructed that odors
from the stable will not reach 1t. A
good plan is to have the milk room a
few feet from the barn connected by
a narrow alley with a door at each
end. BY hanging the doors so they
will swing either way will make it
convenient to pass to and from with
the milk and prevent stable air from
entering the milk ROOM :; I;
The only practical material to use
In constructing a milk room is ce-
ment A good plan is to build the
walls up for foot or two with con-
crete and round the corners into the
floor. This will keep the woodwork
up from the floor where it will be dry.
A drain in the floor is desirable, as,
more or less water Is necessary Al
ventilator in the alley will allow any:
doors from the stable to escape before
reaching the milk room. A tank for
cooling the milk connected with the
pump and stock tank is not to be-
overlooked In planning the milk room.

The one material which combines
these requirements to the best ad-

more expensive on first cost but will
outlast wood so will be a great deal
cheaper In the end. Wood floors

Of the treatment Is not prohibitivs.
The department Of agriculture has

To secure the best results the crso-

TREES ARE OF GREAT VALUE
Every Settler, New and Old, Should
Plant Some-With Proper Care
Will Surely Grow.

(By L. r. WALDRON. Superintendent Of
Dickinson satisfactory
Every new settler, and old settler,
should plant trees. Trees are profit,
able from any standpoint, and with
proper care will certainly grow Three
important principles govern the plant,
ing of trees, under semi-arid condi-
tions. They should be grown in large
numbers, planted closely together and
kept cultivated. AS it 50 happens,
plantations set out on these principles
are of the greatest value to the farm.
or. They form shelter belts and wind.
breaks which serve to protect build.
ings, stock and all kinds of fruit, and
eventually furnish summer frewood
and trees for individual planting.
In starting shelter belt, one or
two year old Seeding trees should be
planted, as these are the cheapest and
most apt to i've Planting should be
done In rows and to aid in the work,

or eight feet apart One man places
the trees in the furrow two or three
