KEEPING BARN YARDS CLEAN
Dairyman Cannot Expect TO Produce
Good MIX When Cows Wade
Through Mud and Filth.
(Rv Il. j. LYONN

(By Il. j. LYONO
IL 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 If the barn itself is scrupu-
lously clean-which II cannot be IL the
yards are muddy--the odor arising
from the filthy barn yard will Offset all
the efforts made to keep the milk
clean when 1t 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 It. 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 great deal of
broken rock, gravel and coal cinders
are necessary to keep the ground in
good condition. If the ground is a
black heavy soil II may be kept rea-
sonably dry by covering II with these
materials. The first thing to be done
is to 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 in 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 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 hard
surface and If It is properly leveled
off can after time easily be scraped
with an iron or wooden hoe.

NOTES


Have the same person milk the
same cows as far as possible.
The calf pail should be just as care
fully cared for as any other utensil In
the dairy.
1t is a mistake to breed the heifer
so that she freshens too young. Give
her a chance to develop first.
The creamery is becoming so pop
ular all through the couatry that So
called dairy butter Is on the wane.
Through the use of silos and soil
ing crops from two to five times as
many cows can be kept on the same
land.
The abused COW is always the ugly
COW. Likewise the ugly COW has near
ly always been made that way by
abuse.
The COW must have pasture or its
equivalent. This accounts for the
many soils and the great popularity
of soiling crops.
The separator needs ventilating.
The best plan Is to leave II uncov-
cred or better still, leave the parts
unassembed after washing.
Much Is said about scales on the
farm, but the most important scale is
the one that hangs up behind the cows
and Is used after every milking.
The tight, unventilated barn may
be a little warmer than one that IL
properly taken care of, but II Is also
whole lot more damp and dangerous
to the health OF the cows.
Some cows are sach persistent
mixers that 1t is almost impossible tc
dry them on before freshening. ThiI
should be done, however. for every
good COW needs q little rest.

Former Iowa Pastor Accepts Nomina
ton in Kansas.

Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City. Aug. 3.-Rev. A. W.
Kicker. who left the pastorate Of the
Congregational church in Ellsworth
less than two years ago, has just been
nominated for the United States SEN
ate on the socialist ticket in Kansas.
Rev. Mr.. Kicker will be we'll renem-
bered over central and northern Iowa
for the many eccentricities connected
with the pastnrate at Ellsworth. He
was an excellent cornetfst and led the
Ellsworth band. He also formed an
orchestra and played at the roller skat-
ing rink, he furnishing the music free
on condition that the rink be not used
as dance hall. He also took a prom
inent part in politics in Hamilton
county and finally split his church
wide open on political matters. He was
unusually broad In his religious views
and came into considerable prominence
when he chanlpioned the cause of the
roller rink in order to rid Ellsworth OF
a dance hall. He carried on quite q
new spaper fight with other pastors on
the question of amusements and
gained much notoriety because Of his
broad views.
When the Rev Mr. Aicker left Ellis
worth something more than a year
ago, he went to Girard, Kan, where a
department in the Appeal to Rea
was given him. While here he exper-
fenced much trouble in his pastoral tie
because of his socia!ist!c views
