method Of arranging the equipment so
that the wopk 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 rs cork brick
or wood block. Back Of each stall is
gutter, which permits the refuse to be
washed to n 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 cOnnecteu
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
that turns on the water as the COWS
press down their nuZzles, 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

KEROSENE LAMPLIGHT BEST
Efficiency Of the Eye Declared to Be
Best When a Yellow Flame
IL 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 than other illuminants.
especially than incandescent solids.
This superstition has been submitted
to careful tests by c. f. 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 incandcscent 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 efii-
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 Welsbacl mantles also diminisllcs
this efficiency Of the eye. The ah-
thors, however are not yet prepared
to state positively that yellow light
is better than white, but merely that
yellow is better than green.

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
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.
A COW stable designed to house the
herd in the most profitable Why is
shown in the accompanying illuStra
ton. This is One-stOrv 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 1O2 feet long and
IS feet WIDE and is of frame construc-
ton set on q 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 &c windows,
- 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, 50 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 90 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-
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
uoted 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
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
lures germ killer, it will be under
stood that there is strong motive for
this arrangement.
Another feature of the modern dairy
barn is its equipment. The factory

there are two silos, which combined

fresh feed all through the GOLD months
when the cows are inside.

The dory is one Of the mackerel
family with a highly notable ancestry.
He has many peculiarities of form and
color, but none more marked than the
two vivid red spots On his sides. Ira

that st. Peter took the coin with which
to pay the tribute, and that the two
spots mark the place where he held
the fish between his thumb and finger.

MERCHANT MARINE MAKES
+: INCREASE IN SHIPPING
Bulk of Increase in Worlds
Shipping Is Due to U. S.
Merchant Fleet
BY Alfred J. West,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Aug. 13.---According to
Lloyd's Register of Shipping for
1921-1922, the bulk Of the increase
of the worlds shipping since 1914
is due to the United States, whose
sea-going mercantile marine has in
creased by 10,447,OOO tons, an ad-
vance Of $40 per cent.
The present worlds total is 1926
vessels of 61,974,653 tons, made up
of 4,773 sailing vessels of 3,12S,32S
tons, and 2S,433 steamers of $780,
1926 tons.
The worlds total of sea-going steel
and iron steam tonnage is 54,2l7,OO0
against AZ, 900 in June, 1914, Of
which the United Kingdom owns 49,
2SS,0OO, and the United States, 49,
314, 1000. Though the United King
dom still possessed the largest total,
the increase since 1914 has only been
411,OOO tons, against an increase of
1O,477,O0O tons Of $40 per cent ~
the United States. -
British Dominions have registered
an increase of $4,000 tons, with a
total of 100000 tons, against H.
100000 in 1914. The other countries
in which the largest increase are re-
corded are Japan (1,4&l, 200 tons) ,
France (1,12S,000 tOns), Italy
(950,000 tons), and Holland $780,
O00).
AS in the case Of the United King
dom, the figures for France and italy
include a considerable amount OF ex-
enemy tonnage alIocated to these
countries. Germany, which in 1914.
ranked next to the United Kingdom,
with over 100000 tons now possess
ses only $4,000 tons. In 1914 the
United Kingdom owned nearly 44R
per cent of the worlds sea going
steam tonnage, while the present per-
centage is just over 35 1a. Norway,
which occupied the third place, is
now sixth; while japan, formerly
sixth, is now third. closely. follow
ed by France. Greece is the only
which registered decrease. apart
from Germany and Austria.
In regard to the size and type of
vessels, the greatest increase has TAX
en- place in those of 'between 5000
and 10000 tons, thenr number hay
ing increased from 1,0O4 in 1917 to
1874 this year. In 1914 the num-
her of vessels fitted with internal
combustion engines was 900, against
the present total Of 1,447. A great
development has also taken place in
the use of liquid fuel on board steam
ers, for the number of vessels now
fitted for burning oil is $3.50 against
364 in 1914, only 70 per cent Of the
tonnage of the merchant marine now
requiring coal, against a previous
percentage of 80.
