The cattle barns on the modern farm should be located on a well drained spot. There should be enough windows to allow an abun- dance of air and sunlight, for these are necessary to keep the animal in the best health. Then, too, the stable must be properly ventilated so as to remove foul air and supply fresh, pure air for the animals to breathe. The temperature of the stables, in winter, should be about 55 de- grees (Fahrenheit), and in summer as cool as possible. Provide screens Shorthorn for the windows so they may be left . open, and spray daily with some reliable fly oil, and you will not be troubled with flies. Use a good disinfectant, keep the stables clean, and in this way keep your cattle in a healthy condition. Now you have your stables in order and will want to build up a good herd of cattle. Before deciding on any breed you must take into consideration your location, markets and way in which you wish to dispose of your products. If you wish beef, select one of the beef breeds, such as the Shorthorn, Hereford, Aberdeen-Angus or Galloway.
