BCriLDiNGS. culture pratique, Vol. 29, No. 13, pp. 226-227, 4 fig. Paris, June 29, 1916. 



A simple and inexpensive system of watering cattle consists in provid-

 is fitted in the manger which can carry a shutter a, hinged on 2 pivots b, 

 and which the cow pushes to a' in order to drink at B. The shutter measures 

 24 to 30 cm in width, and 20 to 25 cm in height. 



Instead of using this patent system it is sufficient to place at every 

 second stall a small trough A (fig. 2) made of cast iron, stone or cement ; 

 in which a pipe a, connected to the main b, would ensure a standard level 

 of water x. To avoid injt^r3^ the main b may be accommodated in a groove 

 cut on the outer wall y of the crib c. The stone or cement trough may be
