The editor The Rural New Yorker
says;
Mr. Gilbert's barn Is a long, low build.
ing, with only an attic for NOW. He
reasoned that with cnsilage much less
NOW room would be needed, and he has
found what he has amply large. Tho
drop is covered with CRATE, through
which the droppings pass into u water
tight trench. into which some absorb
ents are put. At intervals the wagon
Is driven right around the stalls, and
the manure Is handled but once from
the drop 10 the wagon, and thence to
the fields. Sawdust Is used for bedding,
and plaster is sprinklcd through every
day, thus absorbing all the odors and
adding TO the value OF the fertilizer. A
swinging stanchion Is used in the
stables. The lean.to Ia used for box
stalls, for cows about TO drop calves aud
for young stock.
Water is carried 10 eAch cow In
trough, and she helps herself when it IA
wanted. The bottoms OF the silos are
on level with the stable Aoor, and the
ensilagc Is loaded into car which takes
IL TO the cows. Mr., Gilbert has several
improvements in the stables under way.
Ills success is capital illustration Of
what perseverance, coupled with intulll.
gent and studious methods, may accom-
plish. He has proved that the soil OF
that section is fertile, aud that dairying
may be made profitable industry-not
by controlling the price OF the finished
products hut by reducing the cost Of
production
