These are usually two in number. One is located on each side of the barn midway between the ends of the building. The flues extend from the floor, or near to floor, to the highest point of the building. Bringing the flues close to the floor accomplishes two pur- poses. First, it re- moves the foul air from the barn. Second as the cold air is near the floor and the warm near the ceiling

In this way the impure air is dis- posed of without ma- terially reducing the temperature of t h e barn. These flues should be made with as few turns or bends as possible. Galvanized iron or wood may be used in making them; but, if wood is used, the flues should be lined with tar-felt Fig. 5 Cross section of a barn, showing how foul air flues are installed SUNLIGHT THE GREAT DESTROYER OF DISEASE GERMS Sunlight is furnished free by nature to preserve the health of all animal life. It is the germ destroyer. It is necessary to admit the sunlight freely to all parts of the stable. For this reason the ridgepole of the barn ought to run north and south to admit the sunlight on the east side of the barn in the forenoon and on the west side in the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Holden, P.
