Judging a Cow 
The. picture and description, reproduced 
from an Ohio State University bulletin, 
show the parts used in judging by the 
score card system. 
The various characters of the dairy 
cow considered in judging are: 
Size. —Production in proportion to size 
is necessary. 
FORM.—Typically feminine, no tcnd- 
old chain ties. Perfect cleanliness, how¬ 
ever, is a matter of frequent attention, 
no matter how the stable is built, m. r. d. 
Amount of Cream in Milk

of cream would there be in 100 pounds of

Temperament. —Gentle and 
able, alert, placid eye, ready

Head and Neck.— Muzzle broad, lips 
strong and muscular, nostrils large and 
open, features distinct and fine, though 
not delicate, distinctly feminine, neck

A dairy cow is most accurately ji

than would be desired when in full

Arrangement of Cow Stalls 
I am about to remodel a cow stable; 
expect to put in cement floor and swing 
stanchions. I desire to keep cows as 
clean as possible. Can you tell me how to 
arrange it, that is, the length of platform, 
width of gutter and mangers? Cows are 
medium-sized Jerseys. I have wood floor 
now and chain ties; cows get too dirtv. 
Eastport, N. Y. g, e.‘p. 
Hie platform upon which the cows 
stand is ordinarily built from 4*4 to five 
feet wide, according to the size of the 
cows. It is impossible, of course, to make 
one width suit all animals. By measur¬ 
ing the platform of your old stable, you 
will get a pretty good idea of what you 
need in the new one. A cow should stand 
with her hind feet very close to the gut¬ 
ter, and the gutter should be deep enough 
to hold all droppings that accumulate be¬ 
tween the periods of cleaning out; eight 
inches in front and six in the rear is a 
good proportion; a width of sixteen 
inches is a convenient one. If, instead of 
having the stanchions parallel with the 
gutter, they are a few inches closer at 
one end than at the other, a variety of 
widths of platform is afforded and differ¬ 
ent sized cows can be accommodated. Or¬ 
dinarily, however, the width that best 
suits the average of the herd is adopted 
for all. With swing stanchions that do 
not permit of much forward and back¬ 
ward movement upon the part of the cows 
you will probably have less trouble in 
keeping your cows clean than with the
