BOX MANGERS. Thy Cannot Be Proptrly ClMnsd and Should Bo Aboliihod. That box mangers are an abomina tion la being appreciated by the recent barn bulldeis. Since It la realized that they are not a necessity, but a danger, the best dnlry farms are abolishing all racks and raised boxes used as man gera. The objections to having a small feeding compartment boxed closely around the cow's head are three the box mnuger cnnnot bo kept clean, and byce is a disease disseminator; It hin ders ventilation, and It prevents the cow from feeding in a natural position. With small corners nnd tall sides the box cannot be satisfactorily Bwept nor cleaned of the odd Bcraps of feed which collect. This accumulating dirt and dust becomes moldy and rotten and attracts Hies nnd rats. It Is further harmful In Hint it becomes gradually eaten by the cow nnd is harmful to , her. Tlio box number affords a roosting place for chickens, whose droppings become mixed witli the cow's feed, with injurious effects. Sweeplug or shoveling the waste material from the manger does not thoroughly clean the box, but removes only the very largest pieces of dirt, the small particles and dust reuminiug being al!e to do as much harm us the larger oues. A cow's neck Is so formed that eat ing takes place with the greatest ease when the mouth Is lowered to the level of the grouud. If a cow eats without straining during swallowing she will eat and digest better, and her health ftiul milk supply will protit according 'ftigly. Therefore tile feed for a cow Bhould be placed at her feet and not a yard or two up in the air. The hay racks placed above the cow's shoulders are entirely wrong. A cow to be healthy requires all the fresh all Is possible to supply. Box mangers, partitions or other boarded barriers act as obstructions to the easy flow of air within the baru, and hence tenuously check ventilntion. The farmer should not neglect to adopt the proper feeding trough by wnltlng until he builds a new burn. The old partitions and boxes should be removed nnd new feed troughs and stanchions constructed. The feed trough should be Immediately In front of the stanchion and upon a level with the floor. If built of boards, It should be V shape. A trough built of cement Is the ideal. When such mnterial Is used, the trough should be concave, without corners. A square trough of boards or cement should not be built. The corners collect dirt, nnd Into them the cow acciden tally pushes her food, being unnble to lick It from the angles. The feed trough should be built with a slope, that water may flow Its whole length. It should have no partitions or divisions. Such a trough can be used for watering the cows, the water from a hose being allowed to cuter at the upper end, flowing down past each cow, which drinks nt will. Dr. H.
