They point out that pasture grass Is
a strong stimulant to milk production.
If no grain Is fed tto cows are likely
to run down in flesh. , This will lead to
reduced milk production later on,
when the pastures begin to dry up,
and heavy feeding then will ordinarily
rot. prevent this reduction. Cows of
average production when they go on

!nsf equipment is Installed. There la
the litter carrier which nerves the

are the drinking bowl* at each cOw

There Is the ventliatlug system that

found In the modern dairy, barn, and
with It dairymen ake performing the
regular tasks of\ Caring for a dairy
herd at the expenditure of the least
amount of labor, whfch means greater
profits.
The barn shown In the accompanying
Illustration Is the modern type of
mllk-manofacturlng plant. This barn
Is efficiently planned. It Is of the
required size to house the cows com
fortably and at the same time there
Is no ( wa*te space. The building Is
wide enough to permit two rows of
stalls, a driveway and feeding alley
through the center, and litter alleys
along each wall. Forty-four cows are
held In stanchion*, 22 on each side
and facing the central feed alley. Be
sides there nre pens, for the ball, the
calves arid for three cows.
The barn Is 3d feet wide, which Is
ari economical width, and 125 feet
long. The concrete foundation also
provides o concrete floor. The super
structure is of plank frame construc
tion, with a gambrel root. This method
of construction eliminates supporting

stable floor, the roof being self-sup
porting. Tho bulldlfig Is provided with
lightning rods and suction roof venti

the stable through the ventilating

The overhead track extends to the

of the barn Is arranged, and the lo

Cows to be productive must be
well fed, have plenty of water and
fresh air, and above all things be

barn as the one Illustrated provides
all of these features.

Many methods have been devised for
constructing buildings from precast
slabs, bnt the houses, according to their
inventor, are unique In that each house
built by this method will be different
from ♦very other house, even though
slabs of the same standardised sixes
are used In the construction of all.
Distinctive decorative effects, the In
ventor explains, are produced by plac
ing' a "veneer" of the desired mate
rial on the surface when casting,, while
different good-sized rooms and walls
of varying heights may be obtained by
combining slabs of varlouk sizes. All
construction work Is performed by ma
chinery, the slabs being cast at a cen
tral plant, transported to the building
site and there lifted into place by
derricks.

"Hatch Early" and Get
More Eggs From Poultry
(Trapar*4 br U>« UniUd StatM D«parUn.nl
of Afrloaltar*)
Profits In poultry raising depend to
a large extent on the earliness In the
season that chickens are hatched. Be
cause of this fact a slogan of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
has been "Batch Sarly."
The earlier In life a pallet com
mences laying the greater the number
of egga produced daring the first lay
ing year, department poultry experts
■ay. Pullets should be in laying con
dition the first part of October, if good
winter egg production Is to bo expect
ed. The more eggs laid daring Novem
ber, December and January, the
greater are the aanual profits.
The department points oat that hi
order to commence laying la October,
pullets of the Plymouth Rock, Rhode
Inland Red, Wyandotte and similar
breeda should be hatched the latter
part of March or OM first part of
April. Pullets of thi Leghorn, An
cona and similar breeds be
batched the latter part of April or the
first part of May.
Late-hatched chick* are raieljr ae
profitable as serir-hatebed eaes. Whoa
hatched late, they are net able to
make as good growth gulag the hot
summer months and do set mature la
time to start laying In the early fatt.
There Is little danger of Carmen
hatching chicks too early. v
Wet brooder floors have caused the
death of thousands of little ducklings.
• • •
One cannot expect strong, lively
chicks from poorly selected hatching
eggs.
e • • •
Any bird lacking vigor and consti
tution should be removed  from the
breeding pen. Unhealthy birds have
no place there. Aiming for quality
rather than quantity gets healthier
chicks.

A good dry mash, fed by means of

Pasture Feeding for Pigs
In the feeding of pigs an acre of

pounds of eon and 468 pounds of
