SANITARY DAIRY HOUSE IS A NECESSITY
Floor Plan of Dairy House
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
Because recent developments in dai-
rying have caused A large demand for
a dairy house which will fulfill sani-
tary requirements plans for a practi-
cal and inexpensive dairy house are
suggested in Farmers' Bulletin 6S9 of
the United States department of agri-
culture For those who are striving
to Improve the quality of their prod-
ucts such a building is an absolute ne-
cessity Milk which is poured or
strained In the barn or allowed to
stand there Is liable to be contami-
nated by bacteria and to absorb stable
odors As soon as the cow’s milk is
drawn it should be carried to the'dalry
bouse to be strained and cooled Imme-
diately to 50 degrees F or lower An
up-to-date sanitary dairy house is pro-
vided with all the facilities for cooling
milk In the most economical and expe-
ditious manner
For convenience the dairy house
should be near the barn yet so far
from It that no barn odors can be de-
tected in the house and should he on
well-drained land which slopes from
the house
The principal purpose In building a
dairy house is to provide a place where
dairy products may be handled apart
from anything else To carry out this
Idea IP Is necessary to divide the inte-
rior of the building so that the utensils
do not have to be washed In the same
room where the milk Is handled The
Idea of absolute cleanliness must al-
ways be kept In mind therefore there
should be no unnecessary ledges or
rough surfaces on which dirt may
lodge Ventilators are necessary to
keep the air in the milk room fresh
and free from all odors and to carry
steam away from the washroom Win-
dows are of great importance ns they
admit sunlight and fresh air and facili-
tate work In summer the doors and
windows should be screened to exclude
files and other insects
It Is Imperative that there be a plen-
tiful Bupply of cold running water at
the dairy house If It is not possible
to have a regular water system water
supply may be piped from an elevated
tank fed by an engine windmill hand
pump or hydraulic ram The dairy-
man can 111 afford to spend hi time
carrying water In a pall to cool milk
and wash utensils
For the proper sterilization of uten-
sils an abundance of steam or hot wa-
ter Is needed A pall or can may ap-
pear to be clean and still may contain
numerous bacteria which will hasten
the souring of milk cause bad flavor
In butter or cheese or spread conta-
gion After the utensils are thoroughly
cleaned they should be either scalded
with boiling water or steamed
The dairy house should be so built
as to economize labor to the greatest
extent To do this the building must

be arranged to avoid unnecessary
steps
It is not possible to submit a plan
that will suit all conditions but it is
believed that the accompanying design
will meet the needs of the average
dairy that ships either milk or cream
in cans This plan Is capable of con-
siderable variation to adapt It to a
wide sphere of usefulness For larger
dairies the same arrangement may be
used on a larger scale each room be-
ing made of greater size
Outline of Construction and Equip-
' ment
The building Illustrated herewith
is 20 feet long 10 feet wide 8 feet 6
Inches high In the front 6 feet 6 Inches
in the rear and has a shed roof The
exterior of the building may be cov-
ered with sheathing and building pa-
per or with weatherboarding and
shingles the deciding factors being
expense durability and appearance
The Interior however should be care-
fully finished ao that the walls and
celling may be smooth and free from
corners or projections on which dust
or dirt may accumulate

Showing Gsneral Arrangement
The building should have a good
concrete floor pitched to drain through
bell traps The side walls as high as
the window should be plastered with
cement on metal lathing The remain-
der of the walls and celling may be
covered with matched boards and then
painted with a white washable enamel
paint Ventilating flues should extend
through the roof from the ceilings of
the cooling room and washroom The
windows should be hinged as shown
in the drawings and set to be flush
with the Inside wall when they are
closed
The little closet In the wall between
the milk room and the washroom is
to hold bottles in which the composite
milk samples may be kept The closet
can be opened from either room so
that the samples from the milk room
may be placed In the bottles la the
closet and when it Is desired to test
the milk they can be reached easily
from the washroom this arrangement
makes it unnecessary to carry bottles
from one room to the other
Over the tester In the washroom a
shelf may be placed for the purpose
of keeping the glassware used In the
Babcock test and the scales for weigh-
ing the samples of cream
The equipment of the dairy house
consists of a 1 to two horse power
vertical boiler which supplies steam
to the sink and to the steam Jet In the
drain board a galvanized Iron wash
sink a can rack a Babcock tester a

and milk scales A separator may
also he located in the milk room
Routine Work in the Dairy House
After each cow’s milk is drawn It
should be carried to the milk room
weighed recorded sampled and
strained for the composite test It Is
then run over the cooler using cold
running water for tne first cooling
When a can filled with milk from the
cooler It Is put Into the cement tank
which should be filled with ice and
water well up on the neck of the can
The milk should be stirred frequently
until thoroughly cooled When the
milk Is not being stirred the cans
should always be kept covered to pre-
vent the entrance of dust dirt Insects
etc Never mix warm milk and cold
milk or cream
The doors of the milk room should
be kept shut except when necessary to
pass In or out
Avhon all the milk Is cooled the
cooler palls strainers etc can he
carried into tho washroom where they
should bo rinsed in cold water and
then washed with hot water and wash-
ing powder After this they are rinsed
steamed and Inverted on the drain
board For this purpose two pipes may
be used one carrying cold water the
other steam these may be controlled
by either hand or foot lever or a single
Jet fed by both cold water and steam
may be Installed
SANITATION IN A HENHOUSE
Onions and Some Other Vegetables
Fed to Fowl Will Impart 'Objec-
tionable Taete to Egg
Sanitation is important in a hen-
house An egg may be absolutely
fresh warm In fact from the heat of
the hen’s body and still not be good
or taste good If the bird that laid It
has been Improperly fed Onions and
some other vegetables when fed to a
hen will Impart a taste and odor to
an egg
Eggs coming from bens that have
had Impure or polluted water or
which get such water while roaming
about the farm are unsanitary
Birds housed In dark damp or
drafty houses become debilitated
and although they may continue to
lay fairly well their eggs are not good
for food any more than Is the meat
that comes from tubercular cows
Sufficient 8pace for Hen
From four to six square feet per
hen Is considered a sufficient amount
of space where flocks of 100 birds
are kept and where smaller flocks
are kept it is very desirable to give
them more space per hen

VERY MUCH IN WRONG “BATH”
Gueat's Mistake It Will Be Under-
stood Was Not a Thing to Be
Wildly Advertised
Smythe's mistake which is de-
scribed in an English contemporary
must have been disconcerting to say
the least
'‘You'll find your bath In the out-
’ouse" Thus he had been directed the night
before at the little Inn where he was
stopping nnd that Is why he was now
in his dressing gown pushing open the
outhouse door It was dark but
there was the tub and it would do
He hopped in In the middle of his
ablutions the red-faced landlord thrust
his head In at the door In the dim
light he failed to see the man In the
tub
“Water quite nicely warm thanks''
observed Smythe “but It’s a trifle
muddy"
“Muddy he hanged!” roared the
landlord bursting in suddenly “Your
tub's in the next rlace Git out of it
you blitherin' idiot! -Not a word of
this In the 'ouse mind! not a word of
this in the 'ouse! That's my ’ome-
brewed ale you're a-washin’ in!"
The Case

dental to Horry VIII's career"

Curative Value
In Food?
“Recalling that 90 of disease results from errors
in diet then foods properly prescribed by the physi-
cian can justly be said to have curative value”
— Dr Henry B Hollen in The Medical Standard
One of the errors in the diet of many people is the use of foods robbed of the
vital mineral salts (phosphate of potash etc) which are absolutely necessary for proper
balance of body brain and nerves The result is a long list of ills including nervous
prostration kidney trouble gonstipation rickets in children and so on
Twenty years ago a whole wheat and barley food containing all the nutriment
of the giain including the priceless mineral elements was devised especially to
correct errors in diet That food is
Another physician says:
“Nearly half the year my breakfast consists of a dish
' of Grape-Nuts one o two eggs or fruit I RECOM
MEND IT TO MY PATIENTS CONSTANTLY and
invariably with good results”
This wholesome food not only builds sturdy health and strength but fortifies the
system against disease Ready-to-eat nourishing economical delicious —
“There’s a Reason” for Grape-Nuts
Ancient Used Gas Warfare
The earliest use of deleterious gases
in siege warfare Is recorded In the
history of the Peloponnesian wars
from 431 to 404 B C During this
struggle between the Athenians and
Spartans and their respective allies
the cities of Platea and Delium were
besieged
Wood saturated with pitch and sul-
phur was set on fire and burned under
the walls of those cities In order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes
which would stupefy the defenders
and render the task of the attacking
forces less difficult
Outclassed
"Were you much Impressed by the
majestic roaf of Niagara?”
“I was at first but later on when
my husband put up a roar about our
hotel bill Niagara sounded like a
rippling brook”

perimental way In a French city street

signature of
Landlord’s Way
John Barrymore the actor was
talking about Germany’s submarine
policy In New York
"When Germany told us we Amer-
icans might cross the seas In safety
provided we used such ships as she
offered I nearly died laughing" he
said
“I was Irresistibly reminded of the
poet who complained to his landlord:
' “ ’Landlord I really must Insist on
your repairing my doors and win-
dows They close so badly that It in-
terrupts my work It blows ray hair
all about my face'
" ‘Humph’ said the landlord 'The
easiest way out of that difficulty Is for
you to get your hair cut off’ ” — New
York Times

big boy How tall are you Percy?”

HIS SILENCE A COMPLIMENT
Too Many Men Are Apt to Make the
Mistake That Is Recorded of
This Husband
The coffee was weak the bread un-
derdone and the fowl tough or at
least be said so His wife's long pa-
tience gave way
“John Henry" said she “I’ve tried
faithfully to cook to suit you for
twelve long years No one in the town
has better-cooked food yet you are
always finding fault Why can't you
praise me once In a while I'd like to
know?’’
He looked up in astonishment
“Well If you ain’t tho most unrea-
sonable woman I ever saw “he ejacu-
lated "Why many and many Is the
time I’ve sat down to a meal and nev-
er said a word about It Anybody
would know there wasn’t any fault
to be found or I'd ’a’ found it and
yet you want a better compliment than
that! That’s Just like a woman — they
can't tell a compliment when they get
one!"

“Father" said the minister’s son
“my teacher Eays That ’collect’ and
‘congregate’ mean the same thing Do
they?”

venerable clergyman “but you may

difference between a congregation and
a collection" — Christian Register

“Now as to the Balkan situation — "
“You'll have to excuse me I’m In

“Why I was going to sum up the
