THE IMPLEMENTS OF THE FARM. 25 



pulley, second, by a system of screw gear actuated in a 

 similar way. 



Cheese rooms in our climate require to be artificially 

 heated during a large portion of the year, a temperature of 

 70 to 75 being desirable with proper ventilation at the 

 same time. This latter is better effected by stoves, than 

 by water or hot air apparatus. 



In Messrs. Carson & Toone's cheese turner, two tons of 

 cheese on shelves 12 feet in length, rest in a moveable frame 

 and can be turned at a single operation. 



Live-stock Furniture. The different live-stock depart- 

 ments of the farm have each special mechanical requirements. 



Stable Fittings. Farm stables should be large, well 

 drained, ventilated, and lighted, and paved with non- 

 absorbent materials. Stalls are generally used with ties. 

 Enamelled iron mangers are cheapest in the end, and low 

 racks are preferable to high ones. Drinking troughs are 

 objectionable. Each horseman should have a pail for 

 watering his horses, fork, curry-comb, brush, foot-pick, 

 feed-measure and every stable brooms and a wheel- 

 harrow for wheeling out the manure. 



Harness should be light but strong. Heavy harness 

 ornamented with brass is objectionable. Collars should 

 fit well and be properly padded. Cart- saddles should have 

 friction rollers so as to allow the back chains to accommo- 

 date the movements of the horse in walking. Farm horses 

 should be trained to wear plain bridles blinkers are 

 objectionable. Each horse will require bridle, collar, 

 cart- saddle, for single cart work, traces for double cart 

 work and plough. Gig harness is also needed, riding- 

 saddle, and bridle.
