MILK SHED IS OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE
Compartment of Some Kind to
Protect Cows Should Be
Erected by Dairymen.
CBy M. A. COVERDELL.)

Every farmer should build a small
shed or compartment of some kind in
which to stand the COWS at milking
time. The nearer the barn the better.
1t should be we'll ventilated in the
summer and made warm in the winter
months by setting up fodder around it
or lining 1t with building paper or roof
ing material.
The shed may be any size desired.
but ample room for one COW Is all that
Is necessary. Have nails arranged on
the wall for hanging milk pals in
places of safety while the cows are
being led to and from the shed.
II there are any sore teats, caked
udders, or other ailments to be treated,
the milk shed offers a safe place in
which to do it quickly, and any trouble
with the animals in hand will cause
no disturbance among the other men,
bers of the herd. Spraying solution
is also more easily applied in the shed
than anywhere else.
Where one feeds the COWS at milk
Ing time, the milk shed removes the
difficulty Of feeding the cow that is
being MIXED in sight Of the other ami
mails.
Some cows will fret and worry away
large portion of their milk if an
other COW is being fed in sight or hear
ing Of them. Then. feeding the COW
in the milk shed makes it unnecessary
to use so many feed troughs.
BY keeping it we'll cleaned out, and
properly drained, the milk shed is
always ready to lead the cow into and
milk under agreeable and sanitary
conditions. If it be in the summer
time, the shed may be darkened and
the pesky flies thus gotten rid of,
which means a lot of solid comfort
to the cow and the mixer, as we'll
as a greater amount of milk.
With proper ventilation, such shed
is also much cooler than the swelter-
ing dairy barn, where the animals
breath, combined with the heat OF
their bodies, contributes literally to-
ward the maintenance of a high tenn
perature.

TO KEEP ENSILAGE
IN COLD WEATHER
Blanket or Old Carpet Spread
Over Top Retains Heat and
Keeps Out Cold.

During the extreme cold weather
last winter many complaints were
made by farmers on account of the
ensilage freezing in their silos. Some
Of the silos had a ring of frozen en-.
silage a foot or more thick and sew.
eral feet high all around the inside.
Then, when they wanted to remove a
door, they had to pick the ensilage
away, which was quite a job.
To overcome this freezing, measures
must be taken as soon as the frost
appears in the silo. By digging the
ensilage away from the walls and
piling it in the center helps to some
extent, as there is more heat in the
center. When extreme winter sets in
1t is a good plan to keep the ensilage
lower at the walls and throw all froz-
en- ensilage in the center. Then spread
a thick blanket or old carpet over the
top.
This covering retains tho heat and
keeps out the cold air, thus making it
much nicer to feed

Ventilators Needed,

Poultry houses in which the win
dows are all placed considerably be-
low the ceiling should have a venti-
lator at the extreme height OF the
building to carry away as much of
the heat gathering above the windows
as possible. 1t Is well to protect such
ventilators In such way as to pre-
vent the rains from blowing into them.
