So Important is it that milk be produced in clean barns and by clean animals that several of the states have rather stringent laws on the subject. For Instance, in Michigan no dairyman is allowed to house his cows and horses in the game building, unless there Is a tight wall between the two stables. The health departments of practically all municipalities inspect and exercise supervision over the sources of the milk thfat is supplied to the consumers. Milk, undoubtedly, is the most easily contaminated of human foods. Milk, too, is the principal article of diet of children, whose delicate bodies and digestive apparatus are especially susceptible to disease germs. For these reasons, as well as for the protection of the "community against germs diseases, city health departments pay particular attention to the quality of milk distributed within their limits. Aside from care in-handling milk after it Is drawn from the cow-^-sterilization of containers, immediate cooling to take out the animal heat, ;arid keeping the. milk at a low temperature to prevent the ever present bacteria from* multiplying--the Stable in which the eow is maintained is an important consideration. The t stable must be well ventilated; it must have as much sunshine within It as possible, and it must be kept oleain, so that particles of dirt that may permeate the air will not get into the milk pall. This cannot be accomplished In a pooriy constructed, ramshackle barn. r T It is to secure cleanliness and health Jor the cows that the modern dairy barn has beeifdfcsigned. This ($p*e of barn was rio£. made standard' •overnicht--it is the result of study and experience. But now it Is considered as near ideal as can be. A dairy barn of this design is shown In the accompanying illustration. If the reader will closely study the illustration he will see ^hat there are almost continuous rows of windows in the walls of the stable floor. These windows are of the proper height to admit sunshine during-a greater, part of the day to the Utter alleys In the rear of the stalls. Sunshine is a germ killer; also it is a dispeller of moisture. The greater amount of . sunshine that can be admitted the more sanitary wilt be the stable. ? barn are suction ventilators. These connect with foul-air shafts that lead from the stable. The action of the air In passing the ventilators creates a vacuum which^draws the foul air put of the the sqrne time drawing ill fresh air. This continuous circulation keeps the air of the stable sweet and clean, which means healthy cows, and better milk.' . The floor plans which accompany the exterior view of the building show how the interior of the barn is arranged. There are stalls for 43 cows, each cow having at the manger a bowl which is constantly filled with fresh water. Cows consume enormous quantities of water by taking small drinks frequently. A cow which is watered three or four times a day is not following her natural Inclination ; she wants a little at a time and that often. The stable is so' equipped that the work of caring for the cows may be done with the smallest possible amount of labor. Overhead both in the feeding alleys and the litter- alleys there is a carrier track, on which either the feed truck or litter truck is run. This method of making it easy to remove the litter also promotes cleanliness as the work is less hard, which means Tt will be done more often. ' V ; The building itself Is of frame construction, set on a concrete foundation. The building has excellent lines, which make it an attractive addition to the farm building group. Adjoining is a silo, wherein is stored the winter supply of chopped fresh corn and corn stalks, while above the stable Is mov space for the roughage the animals will consume during the months they are confined indoors. This is a barn that is weathertight, designed to house, comfortably and keep healthy a good-sized herd of dairy cows. At the same time it will hjs noted that Its dimensions are such that there is no waste space. TWENTY-FIVE ^TEARS AGO The marriage of Miss Gertrude Schaefer to MT. John H.
