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 1t is
generally believed, for example, by
many medical and technical men that
the Kerosene flame produces a more
"restfuI" light than other illuminants
especially than incandescent solids.
This supposition has been submitted
to careful tests by c. E. Ferree and
G. Rand, and the results have appear
ed In the Transactions of the Illumi-
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 Esantles 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 yellowness
in Welsbach nantes also diminishes
this efficiency Of the eye. The au-
! thcrs, however. are not yet prepared
to state positively that yellow light
is better than white, but merely that
yellow is better than green.

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 times, 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-
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.
A COW stable designed to house the
herd in the most profitable way is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton. 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
8S 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,
10 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
west so that whenever the sun is
shining In the 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. 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 weather
tight warm COW stable does toward
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 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 gel
full benefit of the sunlight When |,
Is remembered that sunlight IS ma
lures germ killer, 1t will be under
stood that there is a strong motive fol
this arrangement.

HIGHWAYS IN SOUTH DAKOTA

South Dakota has 5000 miles of
main highways, out of total of 203,-
523 in the United States. Definite

there are two Alos, 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 nore profitable in
vestment than under the old condi-
tons. A modern dairy barn or COW
stable will pay for itself in increased
revenue in few years.
