the larger dairy farms the dairy barn

intakes located at the proper intervals
about the lower barn floor furnish Il
continual supply of fresh air. while
foul air flues carry off the impure air
which, Is so dangerous in buildings
where animals are housed. While
barns are built more for utility than
appearance it is wise to make them
appear somewhat attractive. This
building is an excellent addition to
any farm.
Modern barn construction lays par
ucuiar emphasis upon interior arrange
ment and labor-saving equipment.
These two points should be kept fore
most In mind when designing the
buildings. Upon them depends the eff
helency of production and the satisfac-
non of help. That is why carrier
tracks for litter and feed carriers have
Deen Installed in feed and litter al
ieys. The track running through the
iced alley runs to the grain spouts
at one end of the building. The car
rlers are filed from these spouts
which tap the grain bins on the floor
aboFe. The litter track connects each
utter alley with the manure pit on the
outside of the barn. These carriers
