ment of the shed system.
/. If possible. face the shed to the
south and locate it close to the feed
racks and water supply.
2. Allow SIS to SO square feet per cow
for the smaller breeds and IS to 70
feet for the larger breeds.
3. Plan the shed so as TO avoid q
draft through the building.
4. Make walls tight, as large cracks
in the walls make drafty she'd
5. Build shed % to SO feet deep from
front to rear wall.
6. Build shed as low as possible
but high enough to permit bedding and
cleaning out with power machinery.
z. To aid in keeping yard dry. slope
all, or nearly all, the roof to the rear
of the she'd
g. The front OF the shed may be left
open, or partly closed, leaving about
12-foot opening for every Sc lineal feet
of shed. Some dairynen prefer a shed
that is divided into separate compart-
ments rather than having one large,
open shed. Windows are not necessary
where the front of the shed is open.
To give light, corrugated, translucent,
plastic roof panel lights may be built
into the roof. II winter, some dairy
men keep a small, electric light burn
ing at night.
9. Build high foundation to permit
a 3 to 81 foot litter pack. When
pole type shed is built it is well to
keep in mind that extra heavy lum-
Der with additional support is essen
tiaI to withstand the pressure of a
3-foot litter pack A strong, concrete
foundation wall is better.
TO- The shed must be deeply bedded
at all times This is the part that many
dairyinen overlook
Let the litter build up by continually
adding more bedding This system calls
for lot of bedding. However. it makes
a lot of good manure which means
bigger and better crops of hay and
grain.
In the fall. after the shed is cleaned
out and before the shed is used to
house the cows at night, put in at
least a foot Of straw as starter 1t
will get the COWS started in using the
shed.
H. All cows must be dehorned when
housed in the she'd
The Cow Yard
Unless the yard is on welI-drained,
gravelly soil it will become muddy
and it will be difficult to keep the
cows clean. To avoid an unsanitary
condition, it is especially desirable to
have a 10 to 12-foot strip of concrete
laid in front Of the feed racks. Some
dairymen find it necessary to put con
crete over the entire COW yard. In
that event, the yard is limited to about
80 to 100 square feet per cow
The Holding Pen
The pen, used for holding the cows
waiting their turn to be MIXED, should
have a concrete floor to facilitate clean
ing. Sixteen to 10 square feet per COW
is required. In severe weather an en-
closed and covered pen affords pro-
lection to the cows.

the production of a higher quality milk.
Milking parlors are easier to keep
clean and are free from dust and barn
odors. The elevated cow stall also
makes it easier to wash the cows
udder and teats prior to attaching the
machines.
5. The manure win be better pre-
served because of the large amount of
bedding used in the shed.
6. The number of cows may be in
creased without any great expense in
altering buildings
The principal disadvantage of the
open shed-milking parlor system is that
at least twice as much bedding is re-
CURED than is generally used in the
stanchion barns In areas where bed
ding is scarce and expensive the ad-
vantages Of the shed system become
questionable. without adequate bedding
the shed becomes filthy and, in cold
weather the manure freezes making it
impossible for the cows to lie down in
comfort
Location OF Shed ana Feed
Good drainage is an important fac
tor. If the shed is located on low
ground the situation may be improved
by building high foundation thus per-
hitting the filling Of the yard and shed
with gravel. A well-drained, dirt floor
is preferable to a concrete floor in the
shed
If possible, the shed should face the
south thus permitting the sun to shine
directly into it. The direction of pre-
vailing winds and the sheds location
in relation to other buildings must be
considered a sunny. well protected
cow yard is desirable.
The feed racks and water supply
must be located close to the shed SO
that the cows will not have to travel
too far in going to the shed.
Locating the shed and feed-lot 8 to
IL rods away from the milking parlor
results in less manure in the holding
pen, gives the milking parlor more
desirable sanitary setting and reduces
the danger of fire destroying the entire
dairy plant and feed supply. There
are, however, some advantages in hay-
ing the shed, holding pen, milking par
lor and milk room all in one unit.
The Shed
One common criticism of the shed
system is that the cows will not stay in
the shed, but prefer lying down out
side. 1t is just such criticism that
prompted the writer to prepare this
article True, there are many cases
where the cows prefer lying down out
side because the shed is not inviting
TO them.
Cows will not stay in a dark, drafty.
poorly bedded shed except in severe
weather or in summer when the flies
are bad.
The shed system for housing is not
recommended unless it can be made
to give the cows clean, comfortable
place to lie down. When high produc-
ing cows lie down in the mud or on the
cold ground or snow they may de-
veIop rnastitis. Dairy cows will not
lie down on the cold, hard ground or
on the snow if they can find more
inviting and comfortable place near

The
RoundtobIe
BY ELGVA BALL

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-
Dear Miss Ball:
Before Charlie and I were mar
ried ten years ago, we had gone
together about two years. We met
in high school. AS youngsters, we
tried everything for thrill and
to keep up with the gang. Natur-
ally, things happened. My parents
sent me away and had the natural
processes of nature stopped. I suf-
fered greatly. When finished high
school. my parents let us marry.
Now we want children, but 1 can't
have any and Charlie has started
running around. Pm afraid I may
lose him. and l would like to know
what to do. Also, I stay sick a
great deal and he is beginning to
complain about the bills.
Lorraine-Houston, Texas.
Dear Lorraine:
Your parents thought they were
helping you y years ago when
they acted as you described.
Frankly, they were hurting you
much more than any Of you will
ever realize. To prevent such
things from happening, parents
should begin training their chill
dren at an early age. When young
people know the facts of life, they
do not get into unwarranted posi-
tions. However, when such things
occur, parents should not aid nor
abet children in breaking the laws
of the state and of nature. Destroy
ing a human life, even at an early
stage, is an unforgiveable sin. Such
things may be done in secret, but
one always pays for the deed. You
are paying with poor health and
much suffering.
AS to your husband and his ex-
tra-marital activities, this is sit
uation which you have the power
to influence. When a husband steps
out, he may be bored at home.
Check up on yourself and do things
to stimulate his interest again.
Check on your appearance, man.
ner, ETC., and stop taking things
for granted. Show your husband
that he is important and he will
come back.
Since you cannot have children,
why not adopt one? A child in a
home can often improve it greatly.
Another possibility is the caring
for child from an institution on
monthly paying basis for while.
1t would give you something to do
and would help you take your
mind off of yourself. 1t would help
