82 PROFITABLE DAIRYING 



TEMPERATURE OF STABLE 



In winter the stable should be kept between 40 

 and 50 Fahrenheit. The latter is not too warm. 

 This should not be trusted to the guess of the at- 

 tendant. A thermometer should always be kept 

 hanging in the barn at such a point as to give aver- 

 age temperature. Temperature and ventilation go 

 together and should be carefully watched. The 

 colder the weather the more rapid will be the circu- 

 lation of air. The windows should be raised and 

 lowered accordingly. Heat from the cows will keep 

 the temperature all right when ventilation is well 

 under proper control.
