TO lie in a cramped position Is not
conducive TO a gentle disposition. Such
a disposition is found in those indi-

one in which the COW is permitted TO

These stanchions hold the neck Of the

chion is too narrow. Such a stanchion
not only irritates the neck OF the COW
but also prevents the free movement
