[ OARY BARN T0 HOUSE 90 COWS Will Make an Attractive Addition to Farm. DESIGN HAS FINE FEATURES Good Building Keeps Animals Heaithy and Productive and Provides Space to Store Their Winter Food. By WM. A. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Radford will auuuom and give advice FRE’I:IMY;;‘ 'OST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper.

There are two features of this de- sign that will appeal to the farmers’ practical minds. One of these is the arrangement of the hay mow door. It is designed so that it drops down, leaving a generous opening, through which half a load of hay can be swung without scraping the sides. The carrier track extends well out from under the eaves, so that the hay ma: be trans- ported to any part of the barn. The other feature is the implement and wagon shed, or leanto at the rear of the barn, This latter furnishes a weather-proof house for the wagons and farm implements and at the same time they are handy. The interior arrangement of the barn, the placing of the stalls and the other conveniences that will lighten the work of caring for the herd are shown by the floor plan. It will be noted that there are two rows of stalls, |] each accommodating ten cows, and that they are placed so the animals face in. It may be interesting to know the reason for having the cows face each other, instead of the outside walls of the harn, and consequently the light. Some observant person noticed in studying the habits of cows, that in- variably they graze in the pastire with their bucks to the sun. He thus figured it out that by arranging the stalls so that they follow the cows’ natural in- clination to turn away from strong light the cows will be happier, and a happy cow is a milk producer. The added advantage of so arranging the stalls_is that a carrier track may be run through the cegter of the barm, making it easy to transport the hay designed for the dairy herd. There are | to the mangers and feed the animals no animals on the farm that are as grateful for a good home as cows. They produce more milk and better have a well-ventilated, weather-proof place in which to live during the cold weather. Consequently, the most suc- cessful dairy farmers are paying a whole lof of atténtion to the design of their cow barn, for they find that - good houses mean larger profits. However, the farmer who does not without lugging hayforkfuls of hay half way through the building. On either side of this barn, it also . milk, and are more healthy when they | will be noticed, are litter alleys. Gut- ters are sunk into the concrete stable floor, which can be flushed readily, helping to keep the barn sanitary, and the floor and bedding dry. The litter 18 loaded into_a. carrler, the track for which runs out to the manure pile in the rear, and dumped, without much labor involved. By so placing the litter specialize in dairy products does not | alleys they are directly in front of the want, neither would it be good busi- ness for him to have, an expensive barn. But he can build his small barn along the same lines as the large dairy barns are constructed, and equip it so that the work of caring for the cows— ordinarily called chores—will be done windows, so that the sun’s rays hit the litter and help purify it. Sunlight is nature’s greatest germ killer. Germs live only in dark, unventilated places. On the roof of the barn is shown a ventflator. This is connected with foul air flues that run up through the walls quickly and easily. And he can make of the barn, carrying out the foul air, that barn just as comfortable as|and drawing in the fresh air. though it cost several times as much as the small one does. “An exceptionally good design for a small dairy barn is shown in the ac- companying illustration. This is a Qothic-roofed barn, 34 feet wide and feet long. And though it is small, the stalls are arranged so that it will ‘While they are not shown in this plan, the most progressive dairy farm- ers now pipe fresh water to each stall, and install individual drinking cups, one for each cow, Among other things dairymen have discovered is that plenty of fresh water greatly increases’ the flow of milk. If running water is Floor Plan. house 20 cows, thelr calves and a bull, should tae owner keep one. As will be seen by the picture this 1s an attractive barn from the exterior. While it may be called a Gothic-roofed barn, still it has a break, or gambrel fn the roof, taking away the oval effect not available, a tank should be bufit in the barn, so that the cows can be watered often. This is not a large barn, but it is an efficlent one and a building that ‘will soon pay for itself in the in- creased profits that the cows will earn. ————— Plea for Increased Production. The fear of increased production ties the hands of the scientist. He would and he could do so much more it only the world would let him, but there is that continual opposition. It is very difficult to understand, but there it is, and if you want to get full value out of the work of science for peace, you must first remove that dread of increased production and make the people see that it is to their own advantage. For, remember, the benefits of increased production al- ways go to the mass of the people. The few who are rich have or can obtain all the things made, and at once they are avallable for an increased num- ber of people. The wider distribution o those possessions_which make for the comfort and pleasantness of life depends on increased production. — Lord Moulton. The Royal Coachman. The trouble when Queen Victoria first traveled by train (17 years after thelr institution in England), was not who should follow, but who should go before it. The chief royal coachman maintained that he must ride on the engine, as, though he could not drive the train, he ought to make a pretense of doing so. Finally it was decided that he should go on the pilot engine, which preceded the royal train. But the smut from the engine played such havoc with his scarlet livery that the proud functionary abjured the bonor afterward.—London Dally Newa THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER IF YOU WANT TO GET THE WANT YOU WANT TO GET YOU WANT TO GET IT IN THE GREAT WANT GETTER, THE BEMIDJI PIONEER T T T PHONE X, For your Livery Car Service-and Courtesy?
