IT PAYS TO KEEP
COWS COMFORTABLE
To give his cows the proper shelter
the dairyman must have a clean,
warm, well lighted and well ventilated
barn, writes 10. E. Hashing In tho lowa
Homestead. The size will depend al
together upon the capacity of #lO farm
and the number of cows to be shel
tered. My ideal is the basement barn,
or, in other words, to build tho burn
on a hillside or some way that leads
to a second story. In this way ven
tilation and doorways may be had In
the sides and cud of the barn.
The walls of tho basement may be
made of stone or brick, or If this can
not be afforded a wall under the side
that stunds next the hill may bo con
structed and the other three sides be
made of framing. Many prefer the
cement walls, which are cheaper than
the rock or brick, ns a man can build
a cement wall himself, which will savo
all expense, except for the material
The stalls of the dairy barn should
have tight walls and celling, but should

lighted, airy stall, one that I. "in
dows to admit the sunlight and cue
that the foul air of the'lablo Is re
placed by (lie good, pure air, without
subjecting the cow to injurious drafts.
The stalls with tight walls and ceilings
prevent loss of heat In cold weather
and thus contribute greatly to the com
fort of both the cow and the milker.
When the dairy cow Is on full feed
she Is hard worked and Is less able
to withstand extremes of weather than
otlp-r stock, for her energies are then
being exerted in the direction of pro
duction rather than self preservation
It Is more profitable as well ns mnr*
human to keel her warm by making
the stable comfortable Instead of com
pelting tier to use large amounts of
expensive foods In maintaining her
body temperature.
Nothing is more Important In the
dairy barn Ilian a sound. Impervious
floor There Is more than one benefit
derived from such a floor. The animals
are more comfortable and hence prof
ftSible, the manure is saved and ap
plied to the land without loss, the
stables are cleaned with less effort, and
cleaner milk Is produced, which will
always command a higher price.
TWO DAIRY PROBLEMS.
Proper Composition of Feed a Mattel
of Great Importance.
The dairy farmer has two great prob
lems confronting him at all times—
namely, the labor and the feeding
problems. Ills success depends large
ly on Ills ability to cope with them
and especially with the feeding prob
lem. Ills cows are. In n measure, ma
chines through which raw materials
pass and are turned out as finished
products, tile quality of which an- do
ternilned by the Individual cow If
the raw materials, arc in t Imlam i-d"
the result may be fat on tin* cow's
| back Instead of milk In the pal’: It may
! mean flesh from the o - , body to
iimkt* milk or a waste *•! mntcrinl al
together. If not supplied in sufficient
quantities the machine discontinues Its
work and the cow goes dry.
Fur too many dairymen work on the
assumption that If their cows art* fed
all they will eat or dean up nicely
of feeds affording variety they are do
ing their host. The question of food
composition should receive more
thought A man may easily feed un
balanced rations that will waste
enough material, for tvhleh he has to
pay high prices, to make his business
unprofitable, even under otherwise
favorable conditions. New York Trib

Udder Inflammation.
Mastitis (inflammation of the udder)
may often be Induced in a cow by
rough milking when the teats are sore
or chapped Chapped teats may be re
lieved by gently robbing with vaseline
before and after milking. Several ap
plications of line ointment to sore
teats, after cleaning them, will relieve
most eases.
