THE COW STABLE. 



Consumers of milk are now beginning to 

 realize that there is oft^n something wrong in 

 the way dairy cows are stabled. The milk too 

 frequently reminds them of this fact, being in 

 such condition that a person with a, delicate 

 stomach cannot accept it as a food, for the sim- 

 ple reason that the stomach rebels against it. 



A Place Where Food is Prepared. — ^From 

 thinking of the stable as a place where cows are 

 kept, we must come to think of it as a place 

 where human food is prepared. When we have 

 brought ourselves to this way of thinking, we 

 are prepared to build an up-to-date sanitary 

 cow stable. Let us think a little more about this 

 subject before we commence to construct this 

 modem cow stable. 



I once made the statement before a farmer's 

 convention that we consume more filth in our 

 milk than in any other article of food. At the 

 close of the session the dean of an agricultural 

 college said to me that I might safely have 

 said more than in all other articles of food.
