The stall arrangement in the dairy
barn is similar to that in the horse
barn. There are 20 stalls aud two
large pens. Here, also, the animals
face a central alley, which has an
overhead carrier leading to the silo
at the end of the barn. This provides
an easy method of transporting the ST
lage to the hangers.
The moWs are large enough to pro
vide space for the storage. of the hay
and other roughage the animals the
barn houses will consume during the
months they are kept indoors.
While they are not indicated on the
floor plan, d majority of the barns built
nowadays are provided with individual
drinking cups at each stall head
These give the animals an opportunity
to secure fresh water whenever they
want it. Fresh water is especially
valuable for the cows. as it has been
proven time and again that constant
supply greatly increases the flow Of
milk, without reducing its quality.

two stables are of concrete. The SUI
perstructure is of wood frame con-
struction.
The hollow clay building tile is the
choice of many farmers for stable
walls. The hollow spaces in the tile
act as an insulation against both heat
and cold. Tile is easily laid up in the
walls, and is so constructed that the
mortar courses are broken, shutting
out the moisture that often goes
through masonry walls. In the corn
belt, especially In Iowa, hollow clay
building tile is quite generally used.
The floor plan that accompanies the
exterior view Of the barn shows how
the stalls are arranged and the loca-
ton Of the storage rooms. There are
stalls for eight horses on one side of
the horse stable and for seven animals
on the other. The stall heads are
along center, or feeding alley. THE
animals face away from the windows.
bring the litter alleys along the out
side walls, where they are exposed to-
the sunlight that penetratesl through
the windows. This is sanitary ar
rangement because sunlight is germ
killer.
III the walls of the stable are foul
air fues leading to the suction venti-
lators on the roof. These fiues are
placed scientifically so that the foul
air is drawn out OF the barn and is
replaced by fresh air from inlets.
ever both the litter alleys and the
feeding alley there is an overhead car
rier track. "A litter carrier provides
a 1abor-saving method of taking out
the litter to the manure pile beside the
shed at one side of the barn. The
| track Of the feed carrier extends to
the center Of the barn, where the hay
chute is located. The hay is thrown
down from the NOW and carried d.
rectly to the hay racks at the stall
heads.
