1t is said no homes will be searched
for the storage of liquors for private
use but Il widespread campaign will
be made To locate and wipe out all
moonshine liquor stills which county
and city officials recently found in
operation in the mountains surround

Not only have these stills been
found in secluded spots throughout
the nearby mountains. but Il number

The interior arrangement Of the

shown by the floor plan. 1t will be
noted that there are two rows Of stalls,

reason for having the cows face each

designed for the dairy herd. There are
no animals on the farm that are as
grateful for good home as cows.
They produce more milk and better
milk, and are more healthy when they
have well-ventilated, weather-proof
place in which to live during the cold
weather. Consequently, the most sue
cessful dairy farmers are paying Il
whole lot Of attention to the design
Of their cow barn, for they find that
good houses mean larger profits.
However. the farmer who does not
specialize in dairy products does not
want. neither would it be good bust
ness for him to have, an expensive
barn. But he can build his small barn
along the same lines as the large dairy
barns are constructed. and equip it so
that the work of caring for the COWS
ordinarily called chores-wiIl be done
quickly and easily. And he can make
that barn just as comfortable as
though it cost several times as much
as the small one does.
An exceptionally good design for a
small dairy barn is shown in the &C.
