BYRES FREELY VENTILATED. 



Then tables follow giving the average monthly temperature of 

 the air of each byre, and the average humidity ; as well as reports 

 upon the conditions of the health of the animals. 



The following are the conclusions which it would seem reason- 

 able to draw from the experiments made: 



1. That fresh air is a much more important factor in the pro- 

 duction of iriilk in mid-winter than it is generally considered to be 

 by milk-producers in this country. While most people agree upon 

 the need of fresh air in regard to the health of the animals, it 

 seems almost as desirable in mid-winter if a full supply of good 

 wholesome milk is to be produced. 



2. In order that the greatest advantage may be derived from 

 the fresh air, the animals should at no time have the ventilation 

 restricted in autumn, but should be kept as cool as possible, so 

 that they may not only retain all their hair, but if necessary in- 

 crease it.
