basement dairy barn little attention
was paid to proper ventilation and dis-
tribution of the light. This type of
barn is not recommended and if used
for housing dairy cows the lighting
and ventilation should- receive special
attention.
A one-story dairy stable is a very
good type. It should preferably be
located with its length extending
north and south andhave an abund-
ance of window space. If the stable
is located this way it receives the
purifying benefit of both the morning
and afternoon sun. The construction
should be such as to keep floor, walls,

and sanitary condition. The floor,
