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 fiues, 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 it 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 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 flue in the
bottom Of the concrete feed alley. A
wooden walk protects the f1ue and
let's the air in directly In front of the
cows, so that their nostrils get the
first chance at it. theoretically, this
is the proper way to admit fresh air
into well-built cow stable.
The main idea is to build stable
as near air tight as possible, and to
admit plenty of fresh air as the cows
need it, and to discharge the foul air
as fast as 1t accumulates.

hold the machinery necessary to ham
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 Sc 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 60 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 footiEgs. 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 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 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 it rough enough to
prevent the cows from slipping.

Most dairy farmers feel that a con-

drainage A bank cellar basement is

The third reason for using bank was
to have an easy driveway from the

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. 1t

her system has received q shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain

There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need bepo hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
