shown in the accompanying perspec-
tive and floor plan, provides both win
ter and summer comfort for high
priced dairy cows. 1t is designed to
hold the machinery necessary to han
die both feed and manure, to save ex-
pensive hand labor.
The standard width of SO feet has
been adopted for modern dairy sta
bles. There may be any length, but
the uniform width of 36 feet has been
generally recognized as providing
room for cows, in addition to alley
ways that are wide enough to operate
manure carriers and feed carriers.
In this plan the lower story is built
entirely of concrete started at a depth
sufficient to reach down to good solid
earth for the footings of the walls,
also to get depth sufficient to go be-
low frost.
Ground to support the floor is very
carefully graded and the earth made
firm and solid by being thoroughly
wetted down with water and pounded
into place.

support the weight of the roughage

Address all inquiries to William A. Rad

Most dairy farmers feel that con-
crete wall is the best construction for
dairy stable. When 1t is built en-
tirely above ground, with light and air
on all four sides, there is no objection
If the stable is provided with sufh-
cient light and ventilation.
There has been considerable change
in the manner of building dairy sta
bles. The first concrete or stone
basement stables were built into hill
sides. At that time three reasons
were given. A hillside afforded good
drainage. A bank cellar basement is
warm in winter and cool In summer.
The third reason for using bank was
to have an easy driveway from the
high ground into the barn.
Adopting the curb-roof plan Of build
ing rafters in pairs In the form of
self-supporting trusses has resulted In
greater NOW space at less expense
These self-supporting roofs leave the
NOW space entirely free from obstruc-
ton for the easy operation of hosting
machinery. The result is that farm
ers have found it necessary to put in
extra good horse forks with improved

dairymen prefer to rough the floor at
the back of the cows and the back
part of the standing floor next to the
cutters. This is done by using a
rough surface trowel after the rich
cement has been laid with the smooth
ing trowel. The rough surface is
carefully applied SO as not to interfere
with the true even surface. The OBJ
ject is to make 1t rough enough to
prevent the COWS from slipping.

days and encouraged when the air is
still. There are number of ven
tilator hoods that attend to the regu-
lation of these out-take fues, so that
the air in the stable may be kept in
good condition.
There are several ways of supplying
fresh stable air from the outside. The
commonest plan Is to take the air In
at an opening made two or three feet
above the ground, and carry 1t up
through the outside wall and dis
charge 1t into the stable near the CELL
Ing. Another plan is to build special
window frames with v-shaped side
boxes. The window sash are hinged
at the bottom to drop in at the top,
SO the air will follow up the sash and
discharge against the stable ceiling
without splitting at the sides. Both
OF these plans have the same object
that is, to distribute the fresh. cold
air above the cows to prevent a draft
from striking them.
Sometimes the window boxes are

such windows are difficult to make

Another plan of taking air into a
