Suggested modifications of plan to suit convenience 

 of builder: Position and number of bins and feed 

 chutes may be changed. Dimensions may be cut down 

 by making alleys narrower. Horses may face wall. 

 Partition may be left out. Doors may be hung on 

 hinges instead of rollers, etc., etc. 



Importance of Ventilation. In our efforts to pro- 

 vide warm and comfortable quarters for our stock, 

 we have overlooked, in many cases, the most impor- 

 tant matter of all, proper ventilation.
