Tho second method, that of grow
ing soiling crops, Is one that may
meet the present emergency. and is
entirely practical where a few acres
are available, as we'll as II little eX-
ira labor. Feeding soiling crops in
addition to the pasture secured by
the COW, helps to maintain the milk
flow at n moderate cost. The main
objection to this method is the labor

and cutting such crops at the proper
time.

III such procedure, suggesting possi-
BILE crops as well as the approximate
time of planting and harvesting the
different crops.
The third method, suggested, viz,
the use of silage. is the best, cheap
est and most practical method of
meeting the feed emergency. More
than one-third of the total food ma
terials in the corn plant are found in
the sover. Cutting and shocking of
the corn in the field renders 1t sub
ject to considerable loss.
There is greater economy in silage
than in field cured corn. The crop
can be harvested more cheaply.
There is less loss in handling and
feeding as we'll as less work in feed
ing. 1t furnishes a succulent feed
which is essential for the most eco
nomical production of milk.
There is still time to increase the
corn acreage, and begin planning for
the erection of silo this summer.

smaller than the COW stable, so that
IL the grain feed Is stored, say, near
the partition between the two parts
of the barn, it would probably be I'M
necessary to install feed carrier equip
ment in the horse stable.
1t is of primary Importance that the
cow stable be given special attention,
with the object of assuring the best
possible sanitary conditions, which in
fers that lighting and ventilation must
be carefully treated. 1t is assumed
housed in the barn will be dairy cows.
and IL is for this reason that the re-
quirements just named r so neces-
sary. Indeed, 1t is a far-sighted pre-
caution to provide the best there is In
lighting and ventilation in any barn
in which animals of any kind are
housed, for the money spent in this
way is returned many times In the
improved health of the animals, which
means higher sale value, and in the
greater ease with which the work in
the barn may be done. The secret OF
maintaining good, clean air In the
stables is, of course, in removing the
animal waste as quickly as possible.
Even extra effort In this direction,
however, cannot accomplish success
full results if advantage is not taken
of the germ-destroying action of sun
light and If an effort is not made to
quickly remove what polluted air must
of necessity be circulated through
the stable due to contact with pollut-
ing agents necessarily present tempo
rarily, and to remove the spent air
coming from the lungs of the animals.
These things have to be mentioned as
having special bearing on the dairy
COW stable. There are two good rea-
son why the horse stable should be
taken care Of just as effectively. The
most important reason is that 1t pro-
tects the investment in these horses.
The lesser reason is that it prevents
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1917-08-23

if the COW barn happened to be
situated a considerable distance from
the horse barn. At least one team of
horses is usually needed handy to the
COW barn, for one purpose or another,
and when it Is necessary to stable
them in the COY barn, they must either
be placed In open stalls, which is very
poor practice, Or a special Enclosure
must be provided for them, which
brings in difficulties in ventilation and
lighting.
Ordinarily, the combination barn has
the stalls arranged along a central al
ley and a tight partition is built be-
tween the COW stable and the horse
stable, sliding doors being provided
at the alleys. The method of placing
the COW stalls will determine how the
alleys are to be used. In case the
cows face in, the central alley will be
a feeding alley, and 1t will undoubt-
eddy be continued through the horse
stable, where the horses will also
face I'm. The alleys along the outer
walls will then be litter alleys, and
these also will continue through the
other part Of the barn. The most i'm
portant reason why the two parts Of
the barn should be arranged in the
same way is that If modern barn equip
ment is used, It's installation is very
much simpliied If the barn is ar
ranged symmetrically as far as the
alleys are concerned. In a combina-

BILE.
The larger combination barn shown
In the accompanying illustrations is
an example of good practice in the
design of a building Of this sort. The
main barn is divided in the ratio de-
sired, the COW stalls are arranged to
face in and the alleys are extended
through, in the manner already men
toned. The silos are built q short
distance from the end of the barn
proper, and a connecting structure is
built in, which is used for the feed
rooms and the mixing room. Al
though not shown on the plan, most
owners would probably desire q feed
carrier track through the center of
the barn from the feed mixing room to
the far end of the building. In addi-
ton to the twenty single COW stalls,
which should be equipped with modern
sanitary walls and ~stanchions, there
are four pens which may be used for
any special purpose desired or neces-
sary. The double horse stalls are
used and harness rooms are as nearly
dust-proof as it is possible to make
them.
Plenty of large windows r shown
on the perspective view. 1t will be
noticed that there is a small opening
in the wall of Sthe building at the bot
tom of each pair Of windows. These
