BILE, so as to close to the rear edge OF
the platform. The manger may be
made of wood or cement, but in all
cases should be partitioned OF so as
to keep each cows food separate
Some stockmen object to cement floors
on the ground that they give the
COWS rheumatism and produce sore
feet. If proper bedding is given,
there should be no trouble. Many
think such floor construction extrav.
agant and impractical for the average
dairyman, but it is not. While the
original cost may be a little more, II
will be cheaper in the end and far
more serviceable. Such a floor will
outwear many made of wood and will
he far more sanitary in every way.
They are easier to clean and do not
give off odors like a board floor,
which soaks up filth and causes an
ever-present odor in the stable.
The stalls should be separate so
that each animal will be by herself,
and she will soon learn to take her
own place when entering the stable.
This is not saying that good stables
cannot be built of wood, but it is to
remind the man who contemplates
building or wishes to remodel his barn
that it pays to build well.

can stand on the road, ruts will re
suit and when these are ground down
dust forms and finally loose roadbed
results.
Keeping the roadbed well crowned
and smooth will hold the moisture in
1t so that it will pack hard.
Weeds must also be kept several
feet from the wheeltrack else they
will draw the moisture from the road
bed and thus loosen it up; this is
especially true in regions of moderate
rainfall.
Trees should not be allowed to
shade the road as this keeps it too
moist on the surface after rains so
that travel spoils the surface.
The making of a smooth roadbed
requires that when the soil is put on,
1t be laid in layers and not in piles.
When dumped in piles some places
will be more packed than others and
there will likely be difference in the
density, while IL laid on in layers this
will be avoided. Each layer should
be narrowed, or better yet, disked and
packed before the next one is laid
down. In this way a good roadbed is
secured from the first. while if the
soil is just dumped on the road to be
leveled and packed by the traffic over
the road a good roadbed will never be
secured.
The best tool for keeping the road
we'll crowned and the surface smooth
Is the splitlog drag. This tool should
be used soon after a rain. The soil
is then loose and easily moved. The
drag moves but small amounts of soil
and smears it on the roadbed in thin
layers which is Just what is wanted.
It cuts off any projections and fills
up any low places.
Where there is standing water the
roadbed should be kept at least
foot above the water surface and
eighteen inches is better. The nature
of the soil and the length of time that
the water stands along the road will
to a degree determine how high the
roadbed must be above the water.
In dry-farming territory it is i'm
portant to keep the weeds away from
the roadbed and to keep the roadbed
well crowned and smooth.
