In providing a home for the cow
1t should be remembered that 1t is a
place where human food is produced.
With this fact in mind, we should plan
the dairy barn with a view to supply
ing an abundance of light and pure
air, and should make the conditions as
sanitary as circumstances will permit.
On the average farm we are apt to
overlook the family COW. Too often
there is little or no shelter provided
for her, or if there is any shelter at
all, it is often only an open shed on
the side of the general barn. The COW
is really one of the most important
animals on the farm, as in many cases
she furnishes a great bulk Of the food
for the family. She is a mother and
to give the best returns for the feed
consumed, she must be treated as such
and provided with comfortable sur
roundings.
One of the surest ways to reduce
the milk flow is to leave the COW out
exposed to cold wind or rain. With

OF the food consumed to keep up the
body, when the COWS are housed in a
comfortable barn. When no shelter
IN provided in cold weather, a much
EFOater portion of the feed is used for
kNeping the body warm.
Not only is comfortable home for
NE farm COWS an economical invest
ment, but If the conditions are such
that the place can be kept reasonably
clean, the work of caring for the COWS
is made more attractive and a great
part of the drudgery is removed.
On the dairy farm there should be
barn built after modern plans for the
housing of the COWS; but for the man
with only few cows, a good plan is
to build the COW barn in connection
with the horse barn, or general farm
barn. The COWS should be in a sep
arate part of the barn from where the
horses are kept, for two reasons: first,
for sanitary reasons, and second, COWS
give more milk when kept quiet and

feet in size, with not more than four
rows of glass. Keep sash on frame
after filling with manure a few days
before soil is put in, to aid in starting
heat, If the manure is in good heat
when placed in the frame the soil
may be added at once. Spread five
inches of soil evenly over the manure,
cover it with the sash and keep closed
until the highest heat passes, usually
a week or ten days, when bed may be
sown.
One sash will cover all the seed
necessary for a large garden, and the
space under the remaining sash may
be used for transplanting, and for
growing such vegetables as radish. let
tuce, carrot, beet and caulifower to
edible size.
The important things in hot bed
management are protection from freez-
ing Casually provided by board covers

er, and manure packed against the
frames), airing and watering.
Unless air is freely given, the plants
will be slender and sickly. Even in
cold weather the sash may be lifted
half an inch or less during the warm
est part of the day, and whenever the
temperature is above As degrees, air
should be given freely. Care must be
taken to close the beds before the
plants chill in the evening. In zero
weather, of courge, the beds must re-
main tightly closed.
The rule for watering is to give a
thorough wetting when needed, rather
than a slight sprinkljnE at frequent
Intervals.

(By C. A. Keffer, Division Of Elk
January Is the month for starting
early tomato, caulifower and lettuce
plants, and the best way Of growing
them is in hot bed.
Save the horse manure, turning 1t
occasionally to prevent overheating
and to insure even heating through
out the mass. Let considerable litter
be mixed with the manure. The usual
bedding and manure as 1t comes from
the stalls is in excellent condition for
hot beds. Never use manure from cat
tie in hot bed making; it does not heat
enough to be of use.
Use leaf mould, or surface soil from
the woods, with thoroughly decayed
manure as a hot bed soil. If this can
not be had, use the richest available
garden loan.
For a January hot bed, excavate a
pit about eighteen inches deep in a
we'll drained place with southern ex-
posure, protected from north and west
winds. Make the pit six feet wide and
twelve feet long, fit frame of boards
to it, making the frame eighteen inch
es high on the north side and twelve
inches on the south side, the ends
slanted, and nail scantlings from back
to front every three feet, for the sash
to rest on.
Have the manure steaming when it
is ready for the pit. Put 1t in layers,
tramping each layer firmly, so that
when filed the pit contains eighteen
inches of well tramped manure. The
manure should be damp. If dry when
placed in the frame It will be neces-
sary to moisten 1t well to start the

Unless the proper attention and en-
couragement be given to crop produc-
ton and live stock, we can not hope
for the rural communities in the South
to maintain good roads, efficient
schools and live churches, which are
so essential to a happy and contented
community life.
The above picture shows how one
farmer is increasing the productive

cover crops to be turned under next
spring, and he is grazing the cover
crop during the winter season; thus
he is able to grow live stock very
cheaply. This man has the very best

strator for four years and the most
modern methods have been adopted on
his entire farm.
