Many people like to talk about the
good old days" at sure was great
when"-and SO it goes.
You know what we have in mind
the backsliding business man who re-
fuses to recognize progress and goes
along in his old way, berating modern
ideas and longing for the "good old
times" Well, he is out of luck, and
some day may awaken to the fact
And so it is with the farmer who puts
his back to improvements and clings
to the old "red barn. and all that goes
with it. He wonders why his neigh.
Dor, who has built a new barn with
all the latest labor-saving equipment
gets so much time to spend in the
fields or out IN the car, and keeps his
help.
The farm of today is big business
that requires big mind to run it sue
cessfully, just as the building business
requires alert men to make a success
of it. The two are inevitably linked

problems, Successful farmers and sue
cessful farm builders have one ides
in common. They recognize the value
of modern equipment and practice
The exponents of the "good old days
cannot understand it "no how"
In this building program the dairy
barn is of paramount Importance
| Therein lies the source of real income

erence to wind and sun. Because the
barn runs from the warm south to the
cold northwest, construction should be
arranged to meet conditions and the
successful builder knows that dead air
spaces will keep out cold air. But,
as was suggested, the big problem is
the floor. In the first place, to be sani-
tary, it should be as near waterproof
as possible. Furthermore, it must be
easy to clean, durable and easy for
the COW.
For all-around service concrete has
been found very efficient for all except
the stall. The COW cannot stand on
concrete very long without getting
tired, nor can she very well lie on it
without risk to health. For that rea-
son cork brick and creosoted block
are used as flooring in the stall. They
are both warm, easy on the feet OF
the cattle, easy to keep clean and i'm
perviOus to water.
With the construction details fairly
under way, the big consideration is
equipment. The progressive builder
and farmer consider only the most eff
| ficient labor-saving equipment. Why!
Because they want to get the maxi
mum production with the help avail
able. And the fact that it is mighty
scarce is no secret. The farmer who
owns that "old red barn" is continual
ly fretting about getting hired help.
They're all going to the city," is his
plant. But the same complaint is not
heard on the modern farm-because
the help find something has been done
to make work pleasure. They do
not break their backs shoveling litter
into wheelbarrow and carting it from
the dairy barn. All they have to do
is load it into the litter carrier and
It is whisked away to the waiting ma
nure spreader outside the barn. And
likewise with the feed. 1t is carried
by feed carriers which can be stopped
in front of each stall.
Any equipment which causes a re-
duction in labor expense Is an asset
to the farm. Overhead carrier equip
ment takes care of that. Liberal track.
age increases the general comfort and
convenience and insures the satisfac.

most important problems, of the farm
ers.
The purpose of any COW stall is tC
provide a secure yet convenient means
Of tying the animal, which will al
the same time afford the comfort an6
freedom necessary in the production
of large quantities of milk. Modern
stalls are constructed of tubing, which
gives strength and rigidity and is sani
tary. The stanchion is firmly attached
to both top rail and concrete anchor
but has sufficient play in all directions
to be at once flexible, comfortable ant
humane. The COW enjoys great free

nent, one must provide ventilation that
will furnish fresh air and carry away
the foul, poisonous air that hangs like
a heavy mist about the animal; cheer

dows so placed as to give the maxi
mum benefits at all hours and not just
during certain periods; comfortable,
clean stalls and stanchions and drink
ing bowls next to the stalls, where the
COW can drink at will. The new dairy
barn should be built as a workshop,
not merely a stable.
1t is here that the building contrac-
tor and farmer can get their heads
together and plan barn that will be
mutually satisfactory and certainly the
proper place for the herd. Certain es-
sential features should be Incorporate
ed in these plans to achieve what the
farmer wants-production; and what
the builder hopes to give-service. In
the construction of the barn, cleanli-
ness, COW comfort and health, convent
ence and economy are factors to be
considered.
Naturally, the site is important. 1t
should be located on a sunny, we'll
drained slope, where surface water
will run away from the barn. Natural
drainage is a pound of prevention.
1t should be placed with regard to the
farm building.
Next, the size is to be considered.
Owing to the development of standard
measurements in stalls, cutters and al
leys. this can be easily figured out

room to place the cows in two rows

dom, whether lying or standing, and
there is nothing to annoy her.
The drinking cup has been one of
the most popular labor-saving and
production-increasing pieces of equip
ment introduced in the dairy barn. A
continuous flow of water is available
any time the COW feels like drinking,
and plenty of good, fresh water helps
increase the flow of milk.
By providing water cups, clean stalls
and real hangers, humane, comforta-
BILE steel stanchions, the farmer and
builder have helped to produce con-
tented cows, and contented cows pro-
duce real milk and plenty of it. And
by adding mechanical carrying equip
ment in the form of feed, litter and
hay carrier they are making contented
help. Contented help will not go to
the city.
Equipment-that is the big secret
in a nutshell. It includes the barn
door hangers that make them slide so
easily, the truck that carries the milk
to the creamery. Every item on the
list is helping in that battle to keep
the boy on the farm, for after all, the
future Of the farm depends on the
success of that idea. Without men
farms cannot exist.
The responsibility for this great task
rests upon the builder as well as the
farmer, for the builder makes many
! of the recommendations that the latter
accepts. BY promoting the best things,
and the latest labor-saving equipment,
he is creating q wholesome atmosphere
and making surroundings SO attractive
that he accomplishes a double-barreled
purpose, he constructs and inspires.
