Mr.. Ro1erts believed In warm stables but
above all to have them we'll ventilated.
t1ought that pure air was as essential To
be sl'h AS food and warmth. Would consider
stable to warm, when going mo It one
could smell the animal breath slrongy.
Would feed all the grain raised on the farm
and keep the stock at for market 1T any
time. Would give plenty of exercise and
uss chains instead Of stAuchIons II possible,
AS the latter was very uncomfortable for
cattle. Would use dirt floors instead Of
boards, especially for cows.
None knew when to sell stock-was 20
make the most money every time, The
question OF feeding whole and ground grain
