The partitions between the COW
stalls are Of iron, finished with hard

The advantage Of iron COW stalls is
that the amount Of surface to be kept

tie encouragement for dirt, insects or
bacteria.
The proper housing Of dairy cows,
to produce clean, sanitary milk, has
been worked out to a complete sci.
ence. Cleanliness is the main require.
ment. Unless the stable is so built
that it may be kept clean it is useless
to try to furnish milk with low
bacteria count, such as is required for
certified milk or other high.priced
brands.
In addition to the smooth interior
finish and sanitary furnishings, thor.
ough system Of ventilation is provided
by intake flues in the outside walls
and outlet flues for the foul air, which
extend up the sides of the building
and along the roof to the cupola on
the peak. This system takes fresh air
from the outside and delivers it at the
ceiling over the cows. Foul air is

Maple Parfait.-This may be packed
and frozen in a mold or stirred and
frozen as one does ice cream. The diff

the method of freezing. Beat two eggs

the egg. Chill and add pint Of rich
milk or thin cream and freeze. If to

whites from the yolks and do not COOK

With modern building construction
it is easy and practical to have sani-

and managers may be made Of wood.
In some sections farmers prefer wood.
en- horse stall partitions. In some sec
lions farmer prefer wooden horse
stall partitions. In other sections
they are made Of wood to save
expense. While. iron stalls look neat
and trim and add more to the appear
ance and real value of the barn, they
are not considered absolutely neces-
sary.
One of the most interesting features
about the construction of this barn is
the way in which the large hay doors
are COlSlluClSu. 1AcSC uOOlS d = ~
feet in width and ~ feet in height.
They slide up and down in iron
grooves, so there is no swelling OF the
tracks to bother in wet weather. The
doors are hung by counterbalance
weights on %inch ropes that play
over grooved pulleys near the top.
These weights run up and down in
boxes built the same as window
frames, so there is nothing to inter-
fere with their action. The advan-
tage is that the doors may be left part
ly open or pulled all the way down,
and they will stay in any position, re-
CARELESS Of the way the wind blows.
When the big NOW is being filled
with hay it is great satisfaction to
leave these doors wide open so that
the air can circulate through freely
from one end of the NOW to the other.
The doorway is big enough to admit
large Lorse forkloads OF hay without
dislodging part Of the load trying to
pull it through. This feature will be
appreciated by the farmers who have
struggled with hay doors built on the
d-fashioned order.

Dinner for Laundry Day.

. For economy Of time and money the
thrifty housewife will do we'll to ar
range for a corned beef dinner on
laundry day. On that day the f1re
must be kept hot, and there will be
no extra work in keeping the corned
beef boiling. BY serving hot for, say,
Monday nights dinner, the remnants
can be sliced cold and served with
baked beans for Tuesday, and the less
desirable ends will make good hash
for breakfast.

surplus so that it does not make the
coating too thick. The fat should be
smoking hot and then tested with
small cube of bread; If it browns in
40 seconds it is hot enough for all
uncooked mixtures, a 60-second test
of the same will be right for all
cooked mixtures. When fat bubbles
and boils, too much moisture is in the
mixture and few less should be add
ed to the fat. Five or six croquettes
or cakes are sufficient to cook at one
time. After removing from the hot
fat the food should be drained on pa
.er. When fat needs clarifying, add a
few slices of raw potato and cook un-
til brown, then strain the fat through
double cheese cloth to remove all set
things.

rafters, placed six feet apart on Gen.
tiers. The rafters between these sup
porting arches are equally spaced, so
as to bring the bearings for. the roof
boards two feet apart.
This barn is SO feet in width and
70 feet in length, as shown by the
floor plan. and is intended for the
stabling of 16 cows and IA horses.
The two stables are made entirely
separate by building solid partition
crosswise of the barn, as shown in
the floor plan. For convenience there
are doors at the alleys that. may be
opened at chore time.
One farm of from 40 to 80 acres,
where one barn is required to stable
both horses and cows, this arrange
ment works out in very satisfactory
manner. Yards are provided to keep
the horses and cows separate when
turned out, and they are as separate
inside as they could be in two differ
ent buildings. The yards are fenced
in such a way as to give the cows
free access to the building from the
COW, stable end, and the horses are
always taken out or in at the horse end
of the barn. Similar doors are pro.
vided at both ends of the barn, and
windbreaks are built according to the
location, 80 as to protect both kinds
Of live stock to the best possible ad'
vantage.
The construction Of this barn calls
for good solid concrete walls with
footings. The foundation walls are
~ feet from the bottom Of the foot
ings to the top Of the wall where the
stills are laid. The footings, are "a
inches wide, to prevent the POSSIBLE
ity OF settling.
Two rows Of concrete piers are
built under the supporting columns
on both sides of the center alley.
These piers and columns are placed
to divide the stable into three Sec
tons. ~ feet each, which works well
