PLAN TREATMENT OF LAMBS
Attention Attracted in Many LOCAL.
ties to Value of Docking and
Castrating Lambs.

The value of castration and dock
ing of buck lambs destined for mar
ket is attracting attention in many To-
calities where the practice has not
been generally followed. In Braxton
county, w. Va, for example, the farm
bureau plans q demonstration of the
value of caStratiOn and docking by
sending to market one carload of buck
lambs that have not been thus treated,
and at the same time carload of
buck lambs that have been locked
and castrated. The prices will be
compared, and a forceful object les
son is expected. Farmers in GiImer
county, Of the same state, expect to
dock and castrate all their buck lambs
in the coming year.
Failure to follow this practice gen.
orally is regarded by officials of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, United
States department of agriculture, as
a weak point in agriculture, and they
recommend the practice to all farm
ers.

KEROSENE LAMPLIGHT BEST
Efficiency of the Eye Declared to Be
Best When Yellow Flame
Is Used.

There has long been an impression
that yellow light is more agreeable to
the eye than that containing chiefly
the green and blue rays, and it is
generally believed, for example, by
many medical and technical men that
the kerosene flame produces a more
"rcStful' light than other illuminants
especially than incandescent solids.
This supposition has been submitted
to careful tests by G. +. Ferree and
G. Rand, and the results have appear
ed in the Transactions of the Illuni
mating Engineering society, remarks
the Scientific American Monthly. The
experiments have compared the kero-
sense flame with the light from the
carbon incandescent lamp, the Mazda
lamp and with Welsbach mantlGs con-
tanning various amounts of ceria and
therefore varying in yellOwness. The
standard of comparison is the eff
cheney of the eye as determined by
the ratio of time during which stead
lily observed type is clear or blurred.
The results obtained from numerous
careful, prolonged experiments indi-
cate that there is some justification
for this impression, as they indicate
that the efficiency of the eye diminish
es more rapidly with light from the
metal filament than with that from
kerosene, and decreasing yelIowness
in WelSbach nantes also diminishes
this efficiency Of the eye. The au-

Ely WILLIAM A, RADFORD,

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building work on the farm, for
the readers of this paper. On account of
his wide experience as Editor, Author and
Manufacturer, he is, without doubt the
highest authority on all these subjects.
Address all inquiries to William A. Rad

reply.
Now that spring is fast turning into
summer. it is time for the owner of
lie modern dairy farm to begin to
Elan the new buildings he may need
70 house his herd next winter. For
it is an undisputed fact that modern,
sanitary. weathertght and well-ven-
Hated COW stable and barn is one of
The greatest profit producers for the
owner of q dairy herd.
Summer is the time farmers are
required to build new buildings or
remodel the old ones, for in the warm
weather the stock takes care of them
selves and building operations can go
on without Inconvenience. However,

the quicker The farmer gets his plans
and arrances for the construction Of
The buildings he wants Che better.
The advantages and good features
of modern dairy barns and cows sta
blcs have been pointed out in these
articles numerous times, but they are
50 Important to the man who wants to
get the maximum of profit from his
herd that they will bear repetition
many times.
Sunlight. fresh air and warmth are
the three things that make cows pro-
1uctive and healthy. And nature fur
nishCs all three without charge. Tile
dairy herd owner, however, has to sup
ply the building in which natures
gifts may be conserved and put to
work for the profit of the daryman.
A COW stable designed to house the
herd in the most profitable way is
shown in the accompanying ilIustra-
ton. This is Onc-stOry COW stable
designed so that the milk producers
will be kept warm and comfortable in
winter. will be supplied with plenty
vi lItSIl llCiI SuIIOuUulIlSS
will be sanitary.
The building is 102 feet long and
80 feet wide and is of frame cOnStruc-
ton set on concrete foundation.
This building is what is known as the
"monitOr" type, taking its name from
the shape of the roof. Along the side
walls of the building are 26 windows,
on, nonh ci1n NN-hi1n IN
part of the roof there are as many
more windows, equally distributed or
either side.
These windows are one of the most
important features Of the building. In
the first place they face the east and
west, so that whenever the sun is
shining in tho winter the building in
terror gets the full effect of it. Cows
provide their own warmth in winter,
and the better they are protected the
less heat they throw off. Heat is
produced by the food the animals con-
sumo 50 it can be realized that the
less food required to produce heat, the
more food will go toward milk pro-
duction. That is what a weather

Increasing milk production. The feed
the animals consume goes to milk rath
er than to produce heat to keep the
COWS warm.
The sunlight admitted by the many
windows also has a purifying effect
on Tie air in the barn. 1t will be
noted by consulting the floor plan that
the 81 stalls are grouped in four
blocks and that the animals face the
center of the building. This arrange
mcnt throws the litter alleys to either
side of the building, where they get
full benefit of the sunlight. When it
IL remembered that sunlight is na-
lures germ killer, It will be under
stood that there is a strong motive for
tli;s arrangement.
Another feature Of the modern dairy
harm is it's equipment The factory

method of arranging the equipment so
that the work car be done easily ana
quickly is used in the modern dairy
barn. Also numerous pieces of labor
saving equipment are installed.
The stall partitions usually are Of
steel, set into the concrete floor. These
partitions are easily kept clean ard

either of concrete or some of the lc&s
hard floor materials, such as cork brick
or wood block. Back of each stall is
gutter which permits the refuse to he
washed to drain whence it is piped
to liquid manure tank.
Overhead is q carrier track running
over both the litter alleys at the sides
of the stable and over the feeding al
ley through the center Of the building.
The carrier that is hung to the track
provides a means by which the litter
can be removed to the manure piles
at the rear of the stable and by which
the food can be distributed to the stall
head.
Drinking cups, which are connected
to the pipes from the water pressure
system are located at the stall head,

drinking cups or bowls are ingenious

that turns on the water as the cows
press down their muzZles, and shuts
off the water as the COWS raise their

On COWS III stables where there are
drinking cups, and it has been record
ed that there is little time in either
the day or night when one or more of
the animals are not drinking. Records
Of milk production in the same sta
bles show that where there is a con-
tinuous supply of fresh water, the ami
mails give from 10 to 20 per cent more
milk.

other important thing for profitable
dairy farm operation. At the end Of

First-class draft horses are very

While it should not be overfed, it
must be supplied with all it will eat

Docking gives the lambs a heater

tailed lambs collect dung, which oft
en- causes maggOt trouble during hot
weather.

The farmer buys more beef than
he takes from the farm. Only about
10 per cent of meat furnished by the
average farm is beef. Ia the north
and west the average consumption of
beef per family is nearly 800 pounds
and in the south it is less than 100
pounds, according to the United States

there are two silos, which combined
have sufficient capacity to provide the
animals this building will house with
fresh feed all through the cold months
when the COWS are inside.
1t is in such stables as this one
that present-day dairy farmers are
housing their herds and are making
them a great deal more profitable in
vestmcnt than under the old condi-
tons. A modern dairy barn or COW
stable will pay for itself in increased
revenue in few years.
