HELP keep milk
1t Is OF Utmost Importance to
Have Them Clean and Free
From DisagreeabIe 0dors,
AVOID FILTHY PLANK FLOORS
oaIryman Must Be Constantly At War
With Fiith-cows, Utensils and
Barn Must Be Kept unpoI-
luted at All Times,

(By W. g. KAISER, Agricultural En-.
gineer)
From the very fact that milk Is used
as a human food 1t Is essential to ex.
ercise the greatest care to keep 1t
clean and wholesome. Milk is a prod
uct that absorbs disagreeable odors
very quickly and If left stand In q
stable where bad odors are presnt It
will In a surprisingly short time be
contaminated.
THE old filthy plank floored, poor
ly lighted, ill-ventilated barn is the
harbinger Of disease, especially tuber-
culosis." says w. b. Barney, state
dairy and food commissioner of Iowa,
In 4 report to the governor Of that
state. II all ordinances on floor con.
struction were summed up In single
sentence they would read about rs
follows: "No building shall be used
for stabling cows which Is not pro.
vided with an easily cleaned, impervi-
Gus floor" The dairymnn must be con.
stantly Mt war with filth. The cows
must be kept clean. the utensils In
which milk is kept must he kept clean
and the barn must be clean. An easily
cleaned impervious floor In the dairy
barn is very necessary. Concrete is
used In many sections OF this country
for dairy barn floors. Plank floors
with cracks full Of filth are being
taken up and permanent concrete
floor put In their place. This work
can be done at any season of the year
when there is time to do the work. The
floor can be laid In winter II the inte-
rior Of the barn can be kept above
freezing for four or five days until
concrete has hardened.
Avoid Costly Mistakes.
A good plan Is necessary so as to
avoid costly mistakes. Once concrete
has hardened 1t IL difficult to remove.
Most agricultural colleges have sug-
gested dairy barn layouts which they
furnish free to farmers. Many barn
equipment manufacturers also furnish
this Information without charge.
The first step In the construction Of
y dairy barn floor is to clear out rubbish
and bring the area to proper level. All
holes should be filed and II there are
any soft spots these should be tamped
solid.
The manger curb is usually built
first and 1t Is very important to do this
job right so that steel stanchions will
6t. The curb should be or 9 inches
thick and project about inches above
top Of floor level when finished. For

THRASH GRAIN UNDER COVER
Small Tractor and Outfit Make Il
Possible to Store Bundles and
Thrash In Winter.

One Of the interesting ideas that Is
developing along with the growth Of
the small tractor and the small thresh'
Ing outfit. Is the storing Of bundled
grain In the barn and threshing 1t out
at leisure In the fall or winter. Sew.
eral farmers In Illinois have found
this a good plan.
The small threshing outfit can be
left set up, and any day when there Is
little time It can be started and
some Of the grain worked through.
The straw goes back Into the barn
or a nearby shed for use with the live
stock. There is no rush, and no ex-
ira help is needed. It helps to ease
up on the work during the rush sen
son. and keep everybody busy during
slack times. This Is one way the big
barn helps pay a profit.

Storage House.

clude the light, as the table Quality
OF potatoes quickly deteriorutes II
they are exposed to light.
The tubers should be dry and rea.
sonably free from dirt when put into
storage. An excess of moisture or of
soil increases the amount of heat gen.
Grated In a newly stored pile Of po.
tatOes. The soil tends to close up
the spaces between the tubers, thus
cutting of air circulation and helping
to retain heat that would otherwise
escape.
All diseased, badly cut, or bruised
tubers should be removed before put
ting potatoes into storage.
It is not advisable to store potatoes
in bulk at a greater depth than 8 or
G feet, and the floor dimensions Of the
bin should not be greater than IL by
IL feet unless provided with a series
Of ventilating shafts for the escape
Of moisture and heat. Ventilated divi-
sion walls and floors are also desir.
able.

should all pass through screen with

tamped or spaded to make sure that
all holes are completely filed.
Plan for Stall Platform.
The stall platform Is usually built
next and it Is very similar to building
a sidewalk. A ! :2:3 concrete mixture
Ia used. The full thickness of the
floor is placed at one time. This IS
known as one-course construction and
IN generally more satisfactory than
two-course work. A wood float should
he used for finishing. 1t will produce
a smooth surface yet leave 1t just
gritty enough so that 1t will not get
slippery. Do not use a steel trowel
as It is likely to give surface that
will become slippery which is very
