KEEPING BARN YARDS CLEAN
Dairyman Cannot Expect to Produce
Good Milk When Cows Wade
Through Mud and Filth.
tRN r. ]. l.lDNl

Try II. j. IioND
II has always been a source of great
wonder to me how any dairyman can
expect TO produce good milk when his
COWS are compelled TO wade through
mud and filth in the barn yard.
Even II the barn itself is scrupu-
lously clean-which II cannot be If the
yards are muddy-the odor arising
from the filthy barn yard will Offset all
the efforts made to keep the milk
clean when il comes from the cows.
There is no one solution to fit all
barn yards. Each must be treated by
itself and TO meet the conditions eX-
listing in il. If the yard is situated on
a gentle slope. all that will be needed
is tile drainage. placed about six feet
apart. Tile will keep any barn yard
perfectly dry. but if there is only an
occasional low place in the yard the
tiling need not be placed SO close to-
gether.
In some yards a great deal OF
broken rock. gravel and coal cinders
are necessary to keep the ground in
good condition. II the ground is a
black heavy soil 1t may be kept rea-
sonably dry by covering it with these
materials. The first thing to be done
is 10 remove the top soil to a depth of
at least six inches. then cover the
ground with the largest broken rock.
This may be in pieces of from two to
five inches I'm diameter. Large pebbles
are excellent for this purpose as they
allow the water to drain perfectly
from the surface.
The layer of large rocks or stone
should be thoroughly tamped down
with a heavy tamping iron or rolled
with field roller
The second layer should be a little
smaller and the third very fine
crushed stone. The last layer may be
mixed with cinders which make a hard
surface and If 1t is properly leveled
off can after a time easily be scraped
with an iron or wooden hoe.

hundred and twenty-nine miles are
improved. or eight and two-tenths per
cent OF the total. according to statis-
tics gathered by the government office
of public roads. The improved roads
are those surfaced with gravel. stone,
or with some special material.
The most striking feature of these
statistics is the enormous extent OF
unimproved roads i'm the United
States. An expenditure of something
like $4,000. 100000 would be required

roads. That this is desirable few will
gainsay, and that il is becoming nee
essary under modern conditions and
the relations now existing between
producer and consumer is also quite
generally admitted. The increased cost
of hauling over unimproved roads is
an immense tax upon the farmer and
those who purchase his products. and
is restriction on the crops which
can be raised and moved in certain
localities.

two millions, four hundred thousand
dollars. II the hauling could be re-
duced to one-half the present average
or 11sc a ton, the resultant saving
would exceed 2lpO0O.0O0 a year.
That such a saving is reasonable is
indicated by the experiences in other
countries and in localities where i'm
proved roads are found. The cost of
hauling on such improved roads is
placed at from 8 to 10 cents per ton.

RuIIno on private Schools.

Ruling on Private Schools.
The state superintendent Of public
instruction was called upon to decide
whether or not . private or denomtn'
ational school 10 high school in the
meaning of the statute. Chapter 146
of the statutes provides that pupils
who have completed their studies In
their home district are entitled to a
four year course in a high school. II
there is not such a high school in
their district they are entitled to
free tuition at the hands Of the state
in high school somewhere else.
Private and UNCONVENTIONAL schools
have applied to the state superintend.
ent for authority to take in pupils for
high school training and charge their
tuition to the state. After consulta-
ton on the matter, however. the state
authorities decided that only high
schools regularly established and op-
Grated through taxation were con.
templated in the act. There is spe-
'cifc provision that none OF the
states money shall be expended In
private schools, and it is believed
that paying the tuition of pupils in
such schools would be doing indirect
ly what the law forbids. Superin.
tendent Deyoe ruled that private
schools were not included under the
act.
