THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1916. PRIME PURPOSE OF STABLING ANIMALS Just how far one should go in pro- tecting animals from the weather is a problem which has not been satisfac- torily solved, writes W. K. Brainard in Hoard’s Dairyman. It has been repeat- edly demonstrated that animals which are closely housed do not have the vigor which is developed under more rigorous conditions. On the other hand, the maintaining of animals exposed to extremes of weather invariably reduces the size and, in cows, the capacity for miik production. The old time basement stables were soldom higher than seven or eight feet and were usually absolutely without light or ventilation except for the doors and cracks on one or two sides of the building which were not banked with earth. These barns were most popular about’ twenty-five years ago and may now be seen very generally throughout the corn belt and other sections of the country which were the most prosper- ous at that time. These types of barns probably con- served the bodily heat of the animal to better advantage than any devised, but it was soon learned that, while the primary object of housing ani- mals was protection from the weather, in doing this there were other consider- ations which must receive attention Unless milk vessels are properly cleansed it is impossible to produce high grade but nd cream. The vessels should first be washed in cool or tepid water and thoroughly scrubbed with brushes. Then they boillng wa- n. er cleansing the vessels should be alred in the sun. The rack shown is used at the government experi- ment station, Beltsville, Md. should be and that the conserving of bodily heat in this manner introduced some objec- tional features which largely overcame any advantages gained. There is much conflicting testimony as to the exact amount of oxygen re- quired by a 1,000 pound cow per day. There are many conditions which cause variation, such as the labor done and the nature of food consumed. King is authority for the statement that about one-fifth of the weight of the ma- terfal taken in the body daily is oxy- gen from the air. For the purposes of this discussion the exact amonut of air and oxygen is not essential. [t has been thoroughly established by investigati d by that ample fresh air and sunlight are essential to profitable production. While protection from the weather is still the primary object of housing, a system which accomplishes this at the espense of ventilation and sunlight defeats its own ends. Summin; up, the purpose of housing to protect them from the ther as far as is consistent with proper ventilation and the entrance of sunlight and to afford the maximum ease, comfort and economy In caring for them.

They do the work of the farm and at the same time produce colts that will swell the bank account every time one goes to market, says the Farm Progress. The mares should be of the draft type. The draft mare is easler to handle and does not require an expert horseman or special ability in breaking them, as is the case with other types of horses. The draft brood mare iIs a source of pleasure to the small farmer and his family. The brood mare should be large. The size of farm machinery is greater than ever. Labor is high in price. Those two things make it essential for & man | to plan to accomplish the greatest pos- sible amount of work. With big horses this may be done with a smaller num- ber. /The greatest reason, however, for keeping large mares is that their off- spring likewise will have size. Since the market demand is for heavy horses, it is up to the small farmer who is seeking to obtain the greatest remu- neration possible for his efforts to cater to that market by raising the big kind. The objection that big horses are clumsy is not necessarily correct. Some big horses are clumsy, it is true. On the other hand, there are big horses that are active and easily handled. It depends upon the choice of animals made for foundation stock. The most rapid walking teams I ever hag on my farm were the heaviest on the place. There is a point here that should be mphasized in the mind of any ome planning to use big mares. is the -videst difference imagi- in the ability of big mares to [ nd work. Soundness, quality and ion must be possessed by the mare ze or she is apt to be un- |. Quality is the watch- 1 n the horse market. Nev- [ buyers look so carefully for hard. flinty bone, clean and correctly set hocks and feet of the size, shape and texture that will stand wear.
