OPEN DAIRY BARN
FOUND A WINNER
Pennsylvania Dairyman Enthusiastic
Over Maryland Fresh Air Stable.

L. w. Lightly, of Adams county,
converted by visit to the Maryland
Experiment Station writes as follows:
1.-THE cold, open barn for the dairy
COW is bitter dose to an old dairy
man, but maybe he might as we'll take
it and be done with. At the Mary
land Station their stable Is not only
open in front, but open on three sides.
A protecting wall nearly five feet high
goes all the way around, with an open
space Of over three feet above 1t, the
whole being covered with q good roof
The cows are loose in this covered
pen with nothing in the way of fix
lures and with plenty of dry bedding
Here they spent all the winter except
that, when being MIXED, they are put
in a clean, comfortable milking room.
"Close by is an old style closed barn
with windows, ventilators, ETC., up to
date. The cows in the open stable
produced more milk at less cost than
the COWS in the warm stable and the
milk from the open stable graded
higher because it was cleaner. Even
in the winter OF 1911-12, with its extra
severity the open stable cows were
anead in profitable production. That
Is what the COW says about the open
air COW stable, compared with the
closed one, and the COW, after all, Is
the final authority in spite Of ideas OF
theories" The saving in manure and
Ine lessaned cost of caring for the
yycn barn cow are worth knowing
about also. Write for Maryland Elk
