room for 10 to 50 cows, the plan being worked out accordingly. The

rangement of stalls, feed room and milk room. The plan may be for 
a simple stable or for a cow barn of greater completeness.

runs and sleeping quarters.

house, showing interior arrangements, such as nest boxes, roosts, 
feed hoppers, scratching pens or accommodations, etc. In this plan 
indicate windows and their kind, height of building, doors and size 
of rooms if more than one room is planned. 
5. In many localities farm butchering is practiced. Teacher would 
find it desirable to arrange with neighboring farmer to have class 
present. Study not only the process of butchering, but the various 
internal organs so as to become acquainted with normal conditions. 
If arrangements cannot be made to assist in farm butchering visit 
where possible the local slaughterhouse. See the butcher in ad- 
vance and explain the purpose of your visit. Ask the butcher to 
demonstrate to your pupils the methods of cutting up animals.
