SUITABLE PLACE FOR cows
Stalls Should Be Provided for Each
AnimaI--PIenty of Ventilation
Is Recommended.

To give best results mich cows
should be provided with suitable quar-
tiers for feeding and milking. Stalls
should be provided for each COW and
feed boxes and manger racks should
be so arranged that they will be OF
easy access for cleaning at least once
every day. Twenty-Five dollars. plus
the labor, should fit any ordinary barn
with stalls for five cows and the neces-
sary feed boxes, managers, and cutters.
Plenty of ventilation is necessary, be-
cause the cow is somewhat like the
human being, she thrives best where
there Is plenty Of fresh air available.
Provision should be made to take care
of the manure. This can be done by
providing plenty of bedding in box
stalls, or, if stanchions are used, by
having water-tight cutters about IA
inches wide and 10 inches deep run
riag full length of the stable.

be called upon to inspect and test each

lighted shed and provided with a clean
yard in which to exercise. The milk
should be drawn into a clean, smah-
topped milk pail and kept cool until
consumed.
Milk sours and spoils because of the
bacteria which enter it with dirt from
the cow and from pals not thoroughly
washed. Keeping these bacteria out
of the milk and preventing their
growth by keeping the milk cool, are
easy and efficient means of procuring
the best of milk from the family cow,
provided she is free from disease.

cows FOR MACHINE MILKING
Farmers Should Study Herd From
Standpoint Of Fitness--AVoie
Defective Udders.
By PROF. c. LARSEN, South Dakota
State College)

By PROF. C. LARSEN. South Dakota
State College.)
Dairy farmers who wish to use milk
ing machines should study their herd
from the standpoint of fitness for a
milking machine. The reason why
some men are successful with milking
machines and others are not can be
traced in part to the difference in cows.
When the milking machine is in
stalled the owner will have better sue
cess If he will Gull out the cows that
do not readily and completely give
down their milk, cows with uneven I'D
der AID placement of teats and cows
with very fleshy teats. Some herds
may not contain any defective cows,
some may contain one or two and some
herds may contain several.
Cows with such defective udders and
teats should never be used us founda-
ton cows. The heifer calves from the
cows that milk easily by machine
should be selected. 1t is especially inn
portant to select herd bull that comes
from ancestors that have well-forIned
mammary organs, and better still to
select proved herd bull that is known
to produce daughters of large, symmet-
rical and welI-placed teats of good
quality.

They were to start at 5 o'clock in
the morning, but mother, getting up

The air was filled with these faint
cries before Bumper began to realize
just what he was up against.
Bumper had run into big bunch
Of bats sleeping in the abandoned
sewer, and his nibbling at them had
alarmed and angered them. 1t was
apparent from their remarks that they
mistook him for Mr.. Sewer Rat, who
perhaps had annoyed them many
times before, and had even threatened
to devour some of them.
"I'm not the Sewer Rat" cried
Bumper. please don't snap my eyes
outl / didn't mean to disturb you!
Waitl Wait, until can explain!"
,"Who are you? And what are you,
them" cried the biggest and iercest
of the bats, coming so close that his
eyes looked like pin-points of light.
'I'm Bumper, the white rabbit"
Bumper, the white rabbit! Who
ever head of white rabbit! All rab-
bits are brown or gray"
1t was the big bat speaking for the
others, but they all joined him in
crashing their teeth and in whipping
the air with their soft, almost noise
less, wings.
"But I can assure you I am white
rabbit" replied Bumper. Come and
look at me-"
This challenge seemed fair, and
some of the smaller bats approached
nearer, but the leader warned them
back. Keep away! It's the Sewer
Rat in disguise. It's trick of his to
catch you" 49,
"Is the Sewer Rat white:" inter-
rupted Bumper.
mo, not unless he's been white
washed or been sleeping in barrel
of -four"
Bumper had to smile at this, for he
recalled once how a big rat had been
caught in a bag of -four by the old
woman who kept rabbits, and his hair
was as white as that of the whitest
rabbit.
Il can assure you, Mr.. Bat, l
haven't been whitewashei, and
haven't been sleeping in -four. Look
at my ears. Does Mr.. Sewer Rat have
long ears like miner"
mo, but he could disguise them by
using pieces of white paper. l
wouldn't rust him a minute"
In desperation, Bumper then added:
"But look at my tail! Did Sewer
Rat or any other kind of Rat have
a tail like miner"
! where is it," asked the big Bat.
Il don't see any tail at all. All rab-
bits have white tails, and you haven't
| any at all.
Bumper wagged the stump of tail
that he thought would convince the
bats, but for moment he wasn't ex-
actly sure that he saw it himself. In
stead of a white, fluffy stub Of tail
as soft as cotton, he saw the dirtiest,
blacklist wad of hair waving in the
air that had ever disgraced a rabbit.
Its the Sewer Rat in disguised
shouted the big leader of the Bats.
Now wen punish him! Drive him
out of the sewer! Peck out his eyesp
Bumper stopped just long enough
to realize that he had no chance in
fight against all those whirring wings
and little crashing teeth. If he was
to escape at all he had to get start
on the bats. Even though fight
seemed to confirm the suspicious of
the Bats, he turned and fed as fast
as his four legs would carry him.
When Bumper finally came to the
mouth of the sewer he was all out of
breath, but the view ahead compen-
stated for a lot of his troubles. He
could see the blue sky, green fields
and waving trees, and nearby the rip
ping surface of lake. or river.
