or out of their stalls. On the whole 1t
looks as if most of the arguments favor
standing the cows in two rows facing
each other.
The dairy barn floor must be made
Of something that can be thoroughly
and easily cleaned. Many substances
have been tried, but concrete seems to
be by far the most enduring in popu-
larity. The biggest kick lodged against
1t is that it is so cold, but the use of
plenty of bedding or of wooden plat
forms largely obviates the objection.
Sunlight and Air Essential.
Plenty of sunlight and air are abso-
lutely essential. No farmer will build
dairy barn until he is sure that he
has the lighting and ventilation prob
lens solved in the best way for his
particular location and style of barn.
The problem of equipment has been
absolutely solved for us by the manu-
facturer, who should be consulted for
ideas and plans as soon as one decides
to build. Valuable aid may be secured
from these manufacturing specialists
and it is given cheerfully.
The old wooden fixtures have been re-
placed by sanitary, enduring, attractive
steel tubing, and the simplicity and eff
fectiveness Of the numerous patents Oh
stanchions, feed and litter carriers, and
every manner of equipment beggar de-
scription. The stalls are not large, cum
bersome dust-catchers, but are of at
tractive design and light. The stanch-
ions, instead of reminding one of the
stocks Of old Salem town, are of light
steel so hung and Joined as to give the
COW almost as much freedom as when
she is outside. They are perfectly COM
Portable and yet hold the COW just
where the owner wants her in the STALL
BY the use Of feed and litter carriers
vast amount of labor is saved, enough
to pay for the equipment in a short
time.
Help is shy article on most farms.
Therefore anything designed to save
labor is twice welcome.
My advice to the man who contem-
plates dairy barn would be to take up
the matter with his lumber dealer. You
will find him a man ready to gladly

permanence. There is little sense In
building temporary, tumble-down
places which have to be done over in
a few seasons.
A dairy barn is usually rather ex-
pensive structure-too expensive to
permit of making mistakes in planning
or equipping. A dairy barn should
first of all be a clean and sanitary
place, because here is produced food Of
first Importance. And, strange as it
may seem to some people who are ia
miliar only with the usual type Of I'M
handy barn reeking with dirt, dairy
barns can be planned in such way
and furnished with such modern equip
ment as to make them absolutely SAM
tary and capable Of being thoroughly
cleaned at no great cost for labor.
Best Interior Arrangement.
AS soon as you begin to talk about
how q man should arrange the inside

barns there are two possible ways to
dispose Of the cows. 1t Is generally
recognized that having two rows Of
them Is more economical of both space
and labor. The cows may be placed
facing the walls, or they may be stood
with rows facing each other across the
central feed alley. Since there is more
work at feeding the cows than in clean
Ing out the manure, it seems that the
plan with the central feed alley and
the cows facing 1t should be preferred
as saving somewhat more labor. Then
the same arrangement lets the light
fall on the cows hind-parts and the
mixer can see whether or not the I'D
der is clean. Likewise, it is easier to
see when cleaning the stalls, and the
drainage is better when running from
the center to the outside. Also there is
less of a mixup in letting the cows in

The biggest criticism which may be
launched against the building of the
average farmstead is that it was done
In too makeshift manner. The tenn
porary nature Of many Of our farm
buildings is merely a sign of our agri-
culture. We are not yet settled to
farming permanently-grandson fol-
lowing son and son following father on
the same ancestral acres. We are most
ly exploiters as yet, soil-miners, or per-
haps developers would sound less
harsh. There has always been a place
''out west" to which we could move
when the old place wore out. Now the
day when we could move onto pastures
new Is over and and new area is no
longer available. 1t is time to begin
to build our farmsteads to stay. They

render every assistance, even going so
far as to plan the entire barn. The
value of the suggestions are often great
beyond ones greatest expectation, a
fact I have seen demonstrated time
and again.
Good Type Of Basement Barn.
The accompanying design is an ex-
ceptionally good example of a high
grade basement barn, planned and built
in the approved style and equipped
with all sanitary and lavor-saving
dairy stable conveniences. 1t was built
in Winona county, Mimi, where the
land is rolling and there are a good
many side hills, yet you will notice
that the farmer and his building ad-
visers had enough gumption to keep
away from the old side hill bank barn
style. They set this barn out in the
open where the basement could have
full-size windows on all four sides.
They built bridge to the haymOw
floor out of REINFORCED concrete. The
embankment is back ten feet from the
basement wall, and this distance is
spanned by REINFORCED concrete slab.
This is the way to build a bridge
and bank barn without bank. The
old way makes damp, dark basement
that is more like a cellar than a SAM
tary dairy stable.
This barn stables 80 cows in stalls.
There are also two stock pens, large
feed-mixing room, feed room ada
cent to the silo, and in the other end
of the stable partitioned-off wash
room. The foundation wall is con-
structed of vitrifed hollow tile, eight
feet high from the concrete footing
to the floor joists. Moisture will not
penetrate through this kind of wall.
The cells of the tile interpose several
dead-air spaces to break up the wall
and prevent the transmission Of mois-
ture or cold.
