FARM AND GARDEN.
STALLS FOR DAIRY COWS.
An Excellent and Tested Arrangement
for Comfort and Cleanliness

An Excellent and Tested Arrangement
for Comfort and Cleanliness.
The dairy world has for ages been
experimenting upon hundreds of de-
vices which might in some manner add
comfort to the COW and at the same
time keep her absolutely clean in her
stall just how successful dairymen
have been in accomplishing this diff
cult feat is only proven by personal in
spectiou of their cattle. In few in
stances have they been able to get the
construction of their stables perfect so
that their cattle show it from their ap-
pearance 1t is exceedingly difficult,
indeed, 10 strengthen one weak point
without destroying the perfection of
another, and the only way to get any
thing that will prove satisfactory is by
experience.
No dairyman CT experience will deny
that COW allowed to besmirch herself
with her own droppings can do justice
to her owner. through the pail. have
seen stables where the owners were
using every plan and device that they
could practically get on to. to prevent
the cows from becoming unclean, yet
in spite of plenty of bedding, stan
chions, deep and shallow bitches, and all
manner of complicated managers, etc,
the cows were sights" looking more
like compost heaps, from their rear,
than herd of sleek, profitable kline
BY no means have 1 always been so
successful as to boast at getting de-
sired results until more recent years
At every opportunity afforded 1 have
examined cow stables and as often got
some good ideas from such observa-
tons, until [ finally have, think. full
ly accomplished the feat of construct
ing a stable in which the COW is under
perfect control and is compelled to
stand so that her droppings must fall
directly into the.ditch. She is made to
occupy that particular position and
cannot move any further forward, but
can of course move backward into the
ditch or even across it, if so desired, by
making the tie-chain sufficiently slack.
The device can be best explained by the
accompanying illustration, which fully
demonstrates the plan of construction:
The ideas are not all my own. but
com bination of practical ideas procured
from others and so com bined as to make
a very satisfactory and complete ar
rangement- My cows are, after months
Of constant confinement, perfectly
clean, and at no time have they been
otherwise, nor can they become any
thing else.
The floor is made from good inch oak
boards, doubled. with broken joints,
making it absolutely wind and water
proof, with dip of two inches to the
ditch. The distance from point A to
ditch is 81 feet.
The ditch is liquid proof, being made
of two boards at the bottom, top one
10 inches wide and bottom one 20. with
two 2xS plank resting on two inches of
the 2O-inch board, or two boards. max
ing that width. and nailed firmly to
the plank. The two inches of boards
on platform make the ditch inches
