The flange board nev to cow is seven inches wide, belli,',; just ten laches from top to floor. The opening of the manger at top ought to be 18 inches wide. At this point nIJ feed, grain, silage, hay or fodder is fed. The last slat at bottom should lie only six or seven Inches wide from the slanting back of manger, so that nothing but grain or cut feed will pass into the 18-inch trough. The cows are tied with the common swivel lie chain. The partitions for thestallsar three feet six inches long and four fee) high; width of stall, three feet two inches from center to center. The partitions do not follow through pnot the five-foot post to the slanting back of the manger higher than one foot above the -fed trough. This is done so that green corn or corn stover can be fed more easily, which to many farmers is an item. The feed’ bin is an adjunct which many have attached and run the full length of the feed ’ alley with door to door, ns shown.
