ny 1. r. wALDRoN. Superintendent Of
Z. Dickinson sub-station.)
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 condi1
tons. They should be grown In large
numbers, planted closely together and
kept cultivated. AS it so 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 firewood
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 live. Planting should bs
done in rows and to aid in the work.
deep burrows may be plowed four, six
or eight feet apart. One man places
the trees in the furrow two or thces
feet apart and man on each sid +,
with a spade hlls in and firms tina
earth, leaving it loose on top. They
may be set to q string by two ma1
without burrows; one setting in TIA
spade, working it back and forth form
ing q hole, the other pressing the t.ea
into the hole back Of the spade The
spade Ia withdrawn and with tho tot1
the dirt is pressed against the root1
of the tree. The roots of the tree
should not be allowed to dry before
planting. They may be puddled in
soft mud. 1t is best to mulch them in
the fall, leaving as much of the mulch
upon the ground in the spring as can
be cultivated in. The following vari,
cites are recommended for setting:

tation In the calf pen and to tho
health and visor Of the calf. For this
reason. 1t 10 always well to place the
pens In the barn where an abundance
OF sunshine may enter in the winter
time. The floor Of the calf pen re-
quires nearly ~ close attention as in
the COW stall. The same material used
In the COW stalls will serve for calf
pens when we'll covered with bedding.
Calves generally thrive better when
allowed to run loose for they are al
ways active, yet there are times when
feeding or when cleaning the pens
that It Is convenient to have them
fastened. A row Of small stanchions
and a manager next to the alley will
serve to make these operations com.
paratively easy.
MIX Room.
One Of the steps In producing clean
milk 10 to remove 1t from the stable
to the milk room Immediately after
drawing This will prevent contami-
nation by the stable air when strain
Ing In order to make this practical,
. milk room near the barn Is neces-
sary and so constructed that odors
from the stable will not reach it. 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 80 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.
The only practical material to use
in constructing q milk room 10 &C.
ment. A good plan is to build the
walls up for foot or two with con-
crete and round the corners into the
floor. Tnis will keep the woodwork
up from the floor where it will be dry.
A drain In the floor 10 desirable, as
more or less water Is necessary. A
ventilator in the alley will allow any
odors from the stable to escape before
reaching the milk room. A tank for
cooling the milk connected With the
pump and stock tank 10 not 70 be
overlooked In planning the milk room

The most important part Of . dairy

the door of tho stall. From the stand
point Of sanitation, the door 10 more
than half of tho barn. A good floor
combines tho several features Of i'm
perviousness to water. durability Of
material and reasonableness Of cost
The one material which combines
these requirements to the best ad-
vantage Is cement. It Is somewhat
more expensive on first cost but will
outlast wood so will be a great deal
cheaper in the end. Wood floors
readily absorb all manner of filth,
quickly decay and lack durability
They never can be made sanitary, so
are little better than dirt or gravel.

(By g. L. MARTIN, Professor Of Dairy
Ing, North Dakota Agricultural College)
The interior arrangement Of the
dairy barn 10 quite a matter OF per-
eonal desires. The things to consider
are sanitation and convenience In ar
rangement Of stalls, calf pens, bull
pen, feed bins, silo and milk room. A
study Of the floor plan In diagram OBJ
may suggest an idea.
One important thing to keep in
mind 10 the fact that feeding is 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 we'll 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
taos toward the walls. This arrange
nent gives more space between the
rows Of cows which aids In stalling
the COWS or turning them out, pre-
vents spattering Of manure against
the walls Of the barn, so 10 more east
ly kept clean, and is more convenient
in milking. especially where 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 one sewage pipe to the
cesspool Is needed so is less expensive
and more quickly installed
The most serious objection to facing
the cows toward each other is 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
