way between. 1t is easily modified to
the opposite arrangement. Likewise
the method is adaptable to both old
and new barns.
Planning and Grading the Floor.
For average conditions, lay out the
stalls on 3-foot 6-inch centers and 4
feet inches in length from 6-inch
manger wall to drop gutter. The
manger is feet inches in width at
the top and feet at the bottom, with
one face sloping up to the feed-alley
floor. The depth is inches, measur-
ed from the stanchion setting, and 8
inches from the alley floor. The feed
alley is feet inches wide. The
drop gutter has width of Is inches.
1t is 8 inches deep gagged from the
stall floor, which is 2 inches higher
than the 8 foot driveway. For estab-
fishing grade lines carpenters spir-
it level Cor water leveD and chalk
line are very helpful.
To prevent possibility of floor set
thing, remove all manure before grad
ing the surface of the earthen floor.
Carefully lamp back the dirt around
water pipes and drains which carry

waste water and liquid manure to the
water-tight concrete manure pit. Do
all filling as long as possible before
building the concrete floor. AS a foun-
dalton for the stall floors proper,
place a 6-inch thickness of coarse
broken stone or screened gravel to
keep the floor from direct contact
with the ground. Since the stall floors
are of prime Importance, it is well to
make them first. During this opera
ton the unpaved driveway and alleys
can be used as working space. Then
finish, in order named, the feed alleys,
the driveways, the managers and lastly
the cutters.
Mixing and Laying the Concrete.
For the plan given, feet 6 inches

stake on edge (and to line and grade)
by IL inch plank, to serve as a
form for the stall floor lat the gutter.

Caring for Cattle and Floor.
Regardless of the kind of floor,
bedding of straw or litter is an abso-
lutte necessity: it keeps the cows clean
and absorbs the valuable liquid ma
nure If the help cannot be depended
upon to bed the cows properly, it is
advisable to use a removable wooden
grating or platform. Cork bricks also
give satisfactory results, but are
somewhat expensive. They are set in
a Pinch depression in the floor and
are held in position on all sides by the
concrete acting as a curb.
With the proportions and thickness
given above, 4 bags Il barely Of ce-
ment, 10 cubic feet of sand (say 3-S
cubic yard) and 20 cubic feet of
crushed rock (about "a cubic yard)
will lay Is to SO square feet of floor.
The usual cost of this much material
alone is $3.50. The floor soon pays
for itself many times over,

SANITARY FLOORS FOR
THE DAIRY BARN
Method of Laying Concrete Floors
With Farm Labor.

In the voluntary movement of farm
ers for better milk at better prices, the
first step toward improvement is the
making of the barn more sanitary by
laying concrete floors. The method
is SO simple that any man can do his
own work. The cost is so small and
the cash returns so great that the
floors soon pay for themselves in pre-
venting the breeding of flies, in the
saving of liquid manure, in the re-
duction of labor, and in the increased
flow and improved quality of milk.
The plan described below is for a barn
in which the two rows of cows stand

Her escort edged away, cautiously, a
look of fear written plainly on his face.
Visions of padded cell for his fair part

only smiled.
The girl in front did not look behind,
but her hands went up to her hair with
that gentle, adjusting touch that com bines
utility and poetry. And the escort of
the girl behind wondered more, and then
gave it up.

FERMENTED FRUIT

HANFORD, COLO, Jan. 22.-When
Dr.. George Gordon. county live stock
inspector, received a hurry call to go
out to the ranch of Henry Jenkinson, he
took along various remedies to be in
jected to halt the ravages of cholera,
for that, said Jenkinson over the phone,
was what the hogs had.
Gordon was worried over the mes
sage He thought he had kept Kings
county free of the dread disease. When
he reached the ranch he found Jenkin-
son in similar state of mind. Cor
don was puzzled when ne looked at the
swine. No hogs he had ever seen act
ed that way He had seen humans do
something of the kind before Hanford
went dry; hogs never. A number of
the hogs were trying to stand on their
heads, while others were giving a re-
markedly accurate example of attempts
to dance.
Then DIR. Gordon examined the feed.
When he had finished this great light
dawned on him. The hogs had been
eating fermented grapes.
