131 1 - Method of Housing Stock in Pens without Divisions in Use in Ohio, U. S. A. — 



Hyslop G. 1,., in Hoard's Dairyman, Vol. 1,11, N'o. 6, p. 165, fig. Fort Atkinson, Wise,

As shown in the accompanying figure, the stock building is divided 

 into three parts : the cattle pens occupy the ends, while the silos, boxes, 

 horse stables and a shed for fattening poultry are in the centre. The pens 

 at each end form four compartments separated by the feeding passage, 

 4 feet wide, which also serves as a manger and is fitted with an overhead 

 travelling skip for carrying the food. This skip, 3.7 x 4.2 feet in size, 

 can carry from 1000 to 1200 lbs. of ensilage. 



Barriers, moved by a lever, control the animals during feeding. The 

 use of the feeding passages as mangers saves a .space of 4 feet throughout 

 the building that would normally be occupied by mangers. Feeding is thus 

 more convenient and there is less waste. 



The cattle pens measure 42 X 13 ft. without the feeding passage ; the 

 latter occupies 40 sq. ft. per animal. Each pen holds 13 cows (there is 

 room for 16) or 16 bullocks. The floor of the pens and passages is of con- 

 crete. The platform on which the beasts stand when controlled by the bar-
