suction needs to be modified on windy
days and encouraged when the air is
still. There are a number Of ven
tilator hoods that attend to the regu-
lation OF these out-take flues, 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 it 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 spilling 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
made to drop the sash either in or
out, to regulate the ventilation of the
stable both winter and summer, but
such windows are difficult to make
tight. There are times when they
should be closed almost air tight. For
this reason stable windows should be
very carefully made, to shut against
solid stops.
Another plan Of taking air into a
stable IS by means Of a fiue In the
bottom Of the concrete feed alley. A
wooden walk protects the fue and
lets the air in directly in front of the
COWS, so that their nostrils get the
nrst chance at It. theoretically. this
Is the proper way to admit fresh air
into a well-built COW stable.
The main idea Is to build a stable
as near air tight as possible, and to
admit plenty Of fresh air as the COWS
need 1t, and to discharge the foul air
as fast as 1t accumulates.

priced dairy cows. II is designed ID
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 SO 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.
The center supporting piers are
large, wide footings. The columns that
support the weight of the roughage
stored overhead rest on these piers,
so they require good footings. The
floor Of the stable is carefully laid out
to give the proper incline to the stand
ing stalls, the cutters and the walking
floor along the sides of the stable.
The concrete for the floor is care
fully mixed with a rough cheap mix
ture for the lower strata This is sur
faced with fairly rich water-proofed
cement mortar. The surface is made
smooth for easy cleaning except
where the cows stand and walk. Most
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
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 it rough enough to
prevent the cows from slipping.

ating flues to carry off the foul air,

the stuff into the barn and unload it
by hand.
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
tracks and roller-carrying trucks that

tirely above ground, with light and air

II the stable is provided with sufi-
Client 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 a bank was
to have an easy driveway from the
high ground into the barn.
At that time it was considered nee
essary to have a threshing floor. The
threshing machine occupied the floor
two or three days in the year. u
finally dawned upon farmers that a
threshing floor that is idle three hun
dred and sixty days in the year is a
very expensive provision for two or
three days threshing. Modern pow.

the ships and the nature of the cargo
of each were presented.
Secondly, there was detailed infor-
