Provide Sanitary House Conditions

Losses of livestock due to disease
are less on farms operated under rea-
sonably sanitary conditions, end are
slight in proportion to those on farms
where no special attention is given to
making the housing conditions sani-
tary. A man about to embark in the
livestock industry should hesitate,
say officials Of the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture, unless he is able to
supply buildings suitably equipped to
maintain at least a fair standard Of
hygiene. The prevalence Of diseases,
particularly tuberculosis. and their
rapid spread in communities where
large numbers of animals are confin-
ed in dark, damp, poorly ventilated
buildings-especially of bank-b barn
type-and the non-prevalence of sim
liar diseases among animals which
are allowed to roam at large, illus
trates the Importance Of constructing
barns so that livestock may have
abundant natural light and pure air.
Sanitary barn construction means
the liberal use of concrete and glass.
This does not necessarily mean ex-
pensive construction. The sanitary
barn should be built on site that has
the advantages Of good natural drain
age and good water supply. The
surroundings should be in keeping
with the interior construction. Barn
yards and exercising lots should be
dry. Concrete feeding forms which
are properly sloped and drained are
advisable. In all cases convenience
in locating barn sites should be sec
ondary in consideration to sanitation.
