which is intended to hold ordinary
milk crooks for feeding the calves. In
these crooks can be placed the skim
milk for the calves and with it any
grain ration that may be desirable to
give them. The particular stanchion
from which this picture was taken
was owned by man. who had great
faith in Kaffir corn as grain ration
for his calves. His custom was to
place the feed of Kaffir corn in the
crock with the milk, and let the
calves do the rest These crooks are
easily emptied and easily cleaned,
while the calves are not using them
they can be left in place for the sun
shine to purify and cleanse.
The estimated cost OF this calf
stanchion where all materials must be
purchased, is about $3.50. This pro-
provides fer a stanchion large enough
the cut shows provision for only four.
or course, the stanchion can be made
as long or as short as may be desired
and on most farms the material nee
essary is already at hand. In such
cases the cost would be nothing more
than the labor Of construction. The
drawing is so clearly made that per-
haps no further details are necessary
about the method of building. and any
man who is handy with tools can con
struct this stanchion In very short
time and have 1t in operation.
