This awakening among the dairymen la tn part an outcome of the pure food laws which have been enacted to meet the demand for pure milk and Its products. Sanitary cow barna should contain sanitary fastenings for securing the :owa. but this does not necessarily Imply that such fastenings need be patented. There aeeme to be a prevailing Impression among dairymen that a comfortable sanitary stall or stanchion ia an expensive factory product, while the fact la that any farmer who la handy with carpenters tools can build a stall which will secure as good results aa any patented stall upon the market The stalls described In this bulletin embody In their construction all of the principles found in any of the patented stalls and the dairyman may easily choose a stall among these typee which will meet the needs of the average dairy. The average dairyman of 20 years ago gave the sanitary stall little consideration and used any method of building which best suited his Individual Ideas. He cared little about the condition of the cow at milking time so long aa she gave the milk. The most of the old dairy barns are so arranged that It Is Impossible to keep cows clean jn them, - RECORD-MAKIN- G 1 The Model stall Is a home made product and waa originated by TV. D, Hoard... He haa used thta stall in hla own atablea for several yearn and finds It very satisfactory. It la probably the nearest approach to perfect stall of any In use at the present time. It Is constructed, M shown in Illustration, so as to force the cow to have her hind feet between the crossbar and gutter when standing, thus preventing the fouling of the stall by her own droppings. When lying down she Is brought forward and compelled to He in front Of the crossbar. The cow la forced to stand back from the hay rack when eating because of the position In which It Is hung. The crossbar is adjustable and The-atawill accommodate a large or ll small cow. The chain or fastening la so arranged that as the cow starts to lie down she Is drawn forward and will atep In front of this crossbar ta prevent an uncomfortable position.' The door In front la hinged at the top and opens upward when grain and water are given. Hay la placed tn the hay rack from the front The parti tlona are ao constructed that It ia ah most Impossible for a cow to step upon the 'udder or teat of one lying down next to her. This feature alone la worth the cost of several stalls to the owner of valuable Individuals. A wooden mat la laid over the concrete floor. This mat la removable, permitting the cleansing of the satire floor whenever occasion demands. If It seems desirable the manger may be constructed of concrete the same as the floor and where new stalls are being erected the manger and floors should be made at the same time. This construction will be more durable than, separate construction JERSEY COW - -- -- -- -- - r 1 1 d - insi-tenr- -- ge -- ec-- -- wwo-to-on- -- til ' th' Manda King 2d, No. 184023, says American Agriculturist.
