class dairy product is demand ing more and more attention from tlie dairy farmer tlie question of buildings also merit consideration a modern dairy barn 1 airy well ventilated and in free from dampness it ha steel stanchion or adjustable cattle ties and the length of up stall and the width of the gutter are constructed so that cows of different slse can be placed accord ingly with tlie older barns each luui a particular problem in order to change or modify it to satisfy modern requirements for clean milk production another problem o k mackensie animal husbandry division central x- perlmentolyurm ottawa point out is uut or keeping the stable clean should be remembered that clean milk production require dust free air at milk ing time therefore the throwing down of hay the cleaning out or the stable or tlie cleaning of cows stirs up dust and odors some of which- may contaminate tlie milk if stable cannot be cleaned out at least onehalf hour before milking it is better to delay this operation till after milking has taken place however manure should be scraped carefully into tlie gutter and tlie bedding rearranged without causing any more dust titan possible tlie problem of keeping dust dirt and odbrs out of milk is not only a question of cleanliness but also one of reeding turnips silage or other strongsmelling feeds should not be fed just prior to milking nor should tlie odor of sllogo be hi the milking bam at milking ume if this point is neglected it 1 highly probable that tlie milk will become taint ed and the clipping of the hair on their udders flanks and talis 1 definitely re commended further it is a good plan to wash ui udder and flank before milking and to wash the switch of the eowfc tall at frequent interval the observance of these point relat ing to tlui sanitation of cows together with the use of tlioroughly clean and sterilised utensils will result in higher quality milk and greater returns from the milking herd quality
