Lighting Essential
Speeds Up Work, Aids
Sanitation Problems
Good lighting in the dairy bam
is not only convenient, but neces
sary. For it speeds up work and
helps the dairyman with his sanita
tion problems.
Farmers, therefore, are cautioned
by agricultural engineers to wire
their barns so that they have plenty

alley.
If more illumination is desired
than can be obtained from the above
plan, a second line of lights can be
placed in the litter alley over the
hind quarters of each row of cows.
Flood lights on the outside cor

placed yard lights, will help pre-*
vent accidents by illuminating the
farmer's path from the bam to the
house. If a milk house loading plat
form is used, it also should be well ,
