hay is received into the rack. This should 

 shut down so close as not to a^low the breath 

 of the horses, and heat of the stables to pass, 

 as It will destroy the flavour of the hay. The 

 trap-door through v/hich the stable-helpers and 

 grooms ascend should also shut down close, for 

 the same reason. The best plan is, to make 

 the hay-loft door at the side of the stables. 



To what has been advance on the subject of 

 stables we may add, that the doors should be 

 kept open as much as possible in fine weather.
