Divorces Are Costly In Canada.

granted in Canada annually.

ever getting divorce in the Dominion

much easier to keep the walls clean in
this arrangement, as all the litter is
in the one alley and does not spatter

The stalls are set with the floor on
a slant 50 that they can be washed out
and will drain into the cutters behind.
The Hoor Of the horse stable is made
level and the concrete in the stalls is
often covered with planks or made
with wood blocks so that the horses
will not slip. This is not necessary

do not slip on concrete as readily as
horses.
The feeding is taken care OF by

The arrangement of the COW stalls
is in two rows, which are built on the
facing-out principle. The choice of
either this or the facing-in plan is
entirely question of personal choice.
There are several advantages of each
arrangement. One of the main advan-

most of the work is done behind the

proposition to make the interior of the
barn as clean as possible. The best
way to accomplish this is to have a
well-lighted building. as men will make
more of an effort to keep bright and
CHEEKY barn clean than an old, dark
one.
The barn shown here is fitted with
windows. so that bright, CHEEKY in
terror can be easily obtained.
The foundation walls of concrete
are carried above grade for about
eight feet up to the joists that sup

crete wall. The floor is also OF con-
crete and the stall floors can be fin
ished in cork brick or wood block if
desired.
