There Is no doubt that in q great

which experience has shown to be
economical in the older dairy regions
are unknown. How to dispose Of the
droppings is a very important matter.
We give the method which best suits
the majority Of cases. Make a long,
stone boat and place upon it "A box re-

long. Have the boat with its box large

Clean out every NOR ming. throwing the
droppings into the stone boat and haul

the stone boat can be used. For great
est convenience arrange the stable door
so n horse or two can haul it inside
and move il along behind the cows A.
fast as the droppings are scooped ia.

inside, it IAN be pulled in backwards
with a single horse, then hitch him TO

course the droppings are n a gutter so
they are easily scoopcd into the boat,
or the cows stand on n platform and
the droppings lie in a line on the ioor
behind. This saves work and manure.
