Til BY, 7/ Well Ventilated Barns for Dairy Experts Have Found That Dirty Old Structure Was Germ Breeding Place. Modern living conditions have caused people to pay much greater attention to the milk supply in recent years, Laws have been made to Insure tleanliness and sanitary conditions in handling milk, that the health of the gonsumer may not be endangered. Rigid Inspection to prevent sale of milk from diseased cows has been es tablished throughout the country. Clean, well ventilated Larns are ab solutely necessary to healthy cows, The old, dirty barn wus a breeding place for disease, especially tubercu- losis, experts have found. The rough floors could not be properly cleaned, and filth and germs accumulatéd con- stantly, Value of Concrete Seen. With the increase in demand for san- itary barns the value of concrete Is coming to be recognized mere and more. Many farmers are tearing pp old plank floors and building sanitary concrete floors In thelr barns. These floors can be lalid even in the winter if the temperature Inside of the the concrete is hardened. ’ Agricultural colleges and many barn equipment manufacturers are now fur nishing free to farmers the plans for construction of sanitary dalry barns. The site of the barn should all holes in the ground should be filled and tamped solid, Good practice is to bulld a manger curb first work is absolutely that the steel stanchions will fit, Correct The y x . lated Dairy Barn, Mix Cement With Sand. This means that each sack of port must be mixed with two or crushed rock. The and vary inch mesh, be clean, rough one-half inches Concrete must be placed in the form oughly tamped or spaded complete filling of all holes. to The next the stall mixture is used. The full thickness of the floor is placed at once. The work should be finished with a wood float to make the surface sufficiently gritty to prevent it from becoming slippery. The concrete mangers may be placed at the same time as the stail plat form, using the same mixture of con. crete. The surface of the manger should be finished with a steel trowel to insure its smooth surface for the animals to eat from. Litter and feed alleys may be constructed after the mangers and stalls are finished. Con- crete floors should be hardened from ten days to two weeks before belng used. Warring on Insects in Winter Is Proper Plan The surest and cheapest way to de crease the flies and all insect pests is to destroy by burning or plowing un- der deeply everything that will afford them safe “housing”, during winter, Spreat]l and plow under manure and Jit ter. Cover deeply all weeds, trash or other things that afford shelter for insects. Plowing will get most of them by breaking up their homes. Polsoning Is expensive and better results will be obtained by kill- ing them before they come out in the spring. Never-ceasing warfare will be necessary if good ylelds, from beans to nuts, are to be had.- After insects are out and ready for attack birds will prove their value. Water Warmed for Cows Increases Flow of Milk Water warmed for the cows during very cold weather Increases the milk flow. Good cows naturally must drink lots of water, but are averse to cold water. When that is all they have they will not take nearly so much as if it were temperate. The drop in the milk flow In extreme weather is many times directly traceable to lack of wa. ter, That Is why tank heaters, or, bet. or still, drinkine cups, pav big prof Value of Timber Not Realized by Farmers Owner Should Watch Close- ly to Sell at Best Price. Too many farmers, according to the forestry authorities at the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell, do not have any idea of the value of the timber In the farm wood lot, and when they come to sell this timber they are likely to be fleeced by unseru- pulous buyers. It is almost as if they had deposits In the savings bank and then sold the sum of these deposits to any one who eame along and made an lated savings, A bulletin Issued by the college says things.

Sulphur may be used for this pur for most farm crops, it only where scab has been trouble When sulphur is used, it should be applied after plowing but before plant. ing. No general rule for the amount required can be given. From 300 to be necessary, depending on how bad the scab was the previous year. The New York College. of Agricul. ture at Ithaca reports that the so- called Inoculated sulphur, which has been found effective In New Jersey, may be equally efficient under New York conditions, although so far the tests made are not conclusive Biggest Profit in Fall Calf, Says an Expert A very common question asked the Missouri College of Agriculture hy dairymen, according to C. W. Turner of the dairy department, is whether cows should be bred to «walve In the fall or spring. Unless there are spe- cinl conditions which must be consid. ered, the department beligves that the fall calf generally has the advantage, In the fall the farm work is not so urgent as it is during the spring and summer, and the enlf usually will re. celve more attention from the feeder. The disadvantages of winter feeding are more than offset by hot weather and annoyance from filles. The fall calf Is weaned in the spring and can be put on grass without further atten- tion. Not only is fall the best time for the calf, but ordinarily the cow which calves in the fall will produce a larger yield of milk during the lactation period. , Lack of Cleanliness Is Cause of Calf Troubles Lack of cleanliness is directly or in. directly responsible for nearly all dis orders and diseases of calves. Filth, whether In the feed pens, bedding or pails, is dangerous to the health of the calf. In filth the bacterin that cause disturbances (n the call's stom ach multiply at a high rate, To be safe, nse nothing but clean milk afid feed, seald the palls, or bet. ter, sterilize them with steam. Feed boxes, in order to be sanitary, must be cleaned daily and all left-over material removed. Freedom from filth usually means freedom from disease. Ask for This New Book ‘Concrete Around the Home”?
