Plan  for  Cow  Barn 
Would  you  give  plans  for  a  barn  40x70 
feel  to  tie  up  SO  cows,  and  one  or  two  box 
stalls?  I  think  I  should  have  a  cellar  un¬ 
der  the  cows  anyway;  there  is  none  i  ndor 
the  main  barn  now.  That  I  shall  move 
a  little  way  and  fix  up  for  a  horse  barn. 
(Iran by.  Mass.  n.  u. 
A  space  40  by  70  feet  does  not  lend  it¬ 
self  well  to  economical  proportioning  for 
SO  cows  and  two  box  stalls.  Such  a  space 
is  wider  than  needed  for  the  cows,  and 
not  wide  enough  to  make  convenient  stor¬ 
age  room  The  accompanying  floor  plan, 
35x70  feet,  shows  the  space  utilized  with¬ 
out.  waste.  If  an  additional  live  feet  m 
width  is  desired,  however,  it  might  he

proved  appetite  is  shown  the  animal  is 
suffering  from  a.  lack  of  bone-forming  ma¬ 
terial  in  the  food.  It  does  no-t  contain 
enough  ash  or  lime  and  phosphate  to  pro¬ 
vide  for  the  proper  growth  of  bone  and 
muscle,  The  result  is  the  system  is 
thrown  out  of  order,  and  the  depraved 
appetite  results.  There  are  other  dis¬ 
eases  which  cause  something  of  this  con¬ 
dition,  but  iu  most  cases  it  is  safe  to  con¬ 
clude  that,  such  cattle  need  a  greater  al¬ 
lowance  of  lime  and  phosphate  in  the 
food.  Wheat  brnu  or  oats  make  a  good 
feed  in  such  condition.  Oil  meal  in  small 
quantities  is  also  useful.  Many  cattle 
would  follow  the  plan  cd  feeding  a  hand¬ 
ful  of  fine  ground  bone  In  each  day’s  ra¬ 
tion  of  grain.  As  a  rule,  after  a  week  or 
two  of  feeding  this  bone-forming  food,  the 
animal  recovers  and  becomes  thrifty. 
This  trouble  frequently  occurs  when 
young  stock  is  wintered  on  silage,  corn 
fodder,  and  hay  alone.  There  is  not 
enough  of  the  bone-forming  material  in 
HOLSTEINS 
Ground  Plan  of  Cow  Barn 
Live  Stock  Notes 
space  might  lie  equally  divided,  leaving 
room  iu  front  of  each  tie-up  for  a  long, 
narrow  feed  bin  against  the  wall  and  be¬ 
neath  the  windows.  Where  a  feed  carrier 
is  not  used,  such  food  bins  save  many 
steps.  The  popular  method  of  placing 
two  rows  of  cattle  is  to  have  them  face 
outwardly,  with  an  eight,  or  nine  foot 
driveway  between  the  gutters.  This  per¬ 
mits  of  driving  directly  through  the  barn 
to  load  1  lie  manure.  Whether  this  simple 
plan  will  suit  your  conditions  or  not  I, 
of  course,  do  not  know.  It  is  offered  as  a 
suggestion  and  the  following  standard 
data  for  dairy  barns  are  given  to  help 
you  i'n  planning  for  yourself: 
Stables  should  be  from  eight  to  nine 
feet  in  height;  gutters  about  15  inches  iu 
width,  eight  inches  deep  in  front,  six 
inches  on  the  side  toward  the  drive; 
driveway  should  be  slightly  crowned  and 
built  of  concrete,  standing  platforms 
should  be  from  four  to  five  feet  in  width, 
according  to  size  of  cows,  each  cow 
should  have  from  three  and  one-half  to 
four  feet  of  lateral  space  on  platform ; 
this  plan  allows  8  V&  feet;  bunks  will 
take  about  two  feet  of  space  and  con¬ 
venient  feed  alleys  about  five  feet  for 
width.  Windows  should  be  about,  five 
feet  from  the  floor,  of  single  sash  hinged 
at  the  bottom  to  drop  inward  from  the 
top,  the  space  at  the  sides  to  be  closed 
when  the  windows  arc  open  by  V-shaped 
boards,  or  "hopper  sides.”  Four  square 
feet,  of  glass  for  each  1.000  pounds  weight 
of  livestock  is  a  standard  rule.  Enough 
should  be  provided  to  flood  the  stable  with 
light  Walls  should  be  airtight;  matched 
boards  placed  vertically  from  sill  to  plate 
make  a  tight,  warm  wall.  A  newly  built 
barn  uearby  has  walls  of  eight-inch 
spruce  matched  boards,  costing  $27  per 
1,000  delivered  here.  As  the  boards  are 
sized  and  surfaced  one  side,  this  lumber 
is  not  expensive.  For  floors,  gutters,  etc., 
nothing  equals  concrete,  though  the  stand¬ 
ing  platform  may  be  covered  to  the  ad¬ 
vantage  of  the  cows  in  the  way  of  com¬ 
fort.  If  this  platform  is  several  inches 
higher  than  the  driveway  upon  which  the 
observer  stands,  the  cows  will  appear  to 
better  advantage  when  a  sale  is  being 
negotiated.  D- 
Why  Cattle  Chew  Boards 
I  have  two  calves  about  six  months  old. 
They  still  get  skim-milk  twice  a  day  and 
have  silage  and  hay,  the  bay  just  now 
being  roweii,  They  try  to  eat  the  boards 
of  the  stable.  J-  B- 
From  now  on  we  shall  have  many  ques¬ 
tions  like  the  above.  Young  cattle  in  par¬ 
ticular  become  afflicted  iu  this  peculiar 
way.  They  do  not  look  well,  the  coat  is 
rough  and  staring,  and  they  go  about 
chewing  boards,  old  bones,  and  drinking 
filthy  water.  In  most  cases  when  this  de- 
1  his  combination  to  supply  the  needs  of 
the  growing  animal.  That  is  why  oats  or 
bran  are  generally  considered  so  useful.
