I first gxaded the yard into a hoUow square, sloping on all sides to the centre, where I placed the cistern or cesspool for liquid manure, as before described. On the south side of this j'ai'd, running east and west, I built my cow stable, 10.5 feet in leng-th, twentj-thi-ee feet wide and sixteen-foot jjosts. This is divided into thii-ty stanchions or stalls, three and one- half feet wide, with a manger running in front. Water is sujiplied to the manger from a tank in the bam, and is can-ied al...ong the range of stiiUs by an inch and a quarter iron pipe, having thi-ee faucets to let the water into the manger. Hose attachments are provided to cany the water to any point in the bam in case of fii'e. In front of the manger is a sjjace of nine feet for a feeding passage, in which there is a large trough, six by thi'ee feet, for mixing bran or slops in the summer. Just behind the stalls is a trench, fifteen inches wide and eight inches deep, where all the manure falls. Behind this is a walk of five feet for the convenience of the milkers and for bedding and cleaning out the stables.
