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 more
''restful" light thar other illuminants
especially than incandescent solids.
This supposition has been submitted
to careful tests by G. E. Ferree and
G.. Rand, and the results have appear
ell I'm the Transactions of the Tllumi-
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 nantes con-
tanning various amounts of ceria, and
therefore varying in yellowness. The
standard of comparison is the eff

herd in the most profitable way is
shown in the accompanying fllustra-
tion. This is a one-story COW stable,
designed so that the milk producers
will be kept warm and comfortable in
winter, will be supplied with plenty
of fresh air, and their surroundings
will be sanitary.
The building is 102 feet long and
So feet wide, and is of frame construc-
ton set on a 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,
13 on each side, while in the monitor
part of the roof there are as many
more windows. equally distributed on
either side.
These windows are one of the most
Important features of the building. In
the first place they face the east and

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 SO 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
tight warm COW stable does toward
Increasing milk production. The feed

err than to produce heat to keep the
cows warm.
The sunlight admitted by the many
windows also has a purifying effect
on the air in the barn. 1t will be
noted by consulting the floor plan that
the "a stalls are grouped in four
blocks and that the animals face the
center of the building. This arrange
ment throws the litter alleys to either
side of the building. where they get
full benefit of the sunlight. When it
| is remembered that sunlight is ma
ture's germ killer 1t will be under
stood that there is a strong motive for
this arrangement.
Another feature of the modern dairy
barn is its equipment The factory
method of arranging the equipment so
that the work can be done easily and
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 and
sanitary. The floors of the stalls are
either of concrete or some of the less
hard floor materials, such as cork brick
or wood block. Back of each stall is a
gutter, which permits the refuse to be
washed to a drain whence it is piped
to a liquid manure tank.
Overhead is a 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,
one cup for each two cows. These
drinking cups or bowls are ingenious
devices. They have valve in them

the quicker the farmer gets his plans
and arranges for the construction of
the buildings he wants the better.
The advantages and good features
of modern dairy barns and cows sta
bles have been pointed out in these
articles numerous tines but they are
so 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-
ductive and healthy. And nature fur
nishes all three without charge. The
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 dairyman.

bow before superior force, coupled
with intellectual incompetence.
Schools throughout the country con.

and teachers are telling their pupils
that the provinces Topped off by the

There are signs of new cabinet

that turns ON the water as the cows
press down their muzzles, and shuts
off the water as the cows raise their
heads. Careful watch has been kept
on cows in 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.

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 yellowness
in Welsbach mantIes also diminishes
this efficiency of the eye. The au-
thors, however, are not yet prepared
to state positively that yellow light
is better than white, but merely that
yellow is better than green.
