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. B.
