HAlIDY FEEDING DOOR OPENER
Manger Device Is Described That Will
Prove of Much Advantage on
Any Dairy Farm.
When the cows or horses are fed
through a hole which is cJosed by a
door opening downward it often hap
pens that this door will not open of
Its own accord. This necessitates
some delay, and often the use of both
hands. I once had a mare that would
open the feeding door with her nose
whenever she heard the button turn
which held the door shut, says a
writer in the Farm and Home This
helped me so much that I arranged a
spring wire device to open the doors
In fron" of the other horses. The ac
companying cut shows the arrange

ment. A steel spring wire is bent
as shown and nailed to the post at
a and b. A hook is bent on the free
end and a staple driven straddle of
the wire at s, loose enough to allow
the wire to slip through it. When the
door is released the free end of the
wire springs out and forces the door
open. The staple engages the hook
and prevents the wire from following
the door farther than is necessary.
MAKE TIE FOR COW HUMANE
Much Approved of Contrivance for
Fastening Stock Is Described Don't
Have Rigid Stanchion.
There are many contrivances foi
fastening the cow in the stall. Do not
be cruel enough to have the rigid
stanchion. The swinging stanchion is
being installed in many stables, and
is greatly liked. The upright iron bar
with the sliding ring and chain, in
theopinion of many breeders of high
priced cattle, is the easiest and best
kind of tie A later form of chain tie,
which is an improvement on the old
style, calls for a bar on each side oi
the stall, and a ring on each bar with
a chain on each ring. These two
chains are joined In the center by a
ring to which is attached the chain
which goes around the cow's neck.
The bars are short and should b
placed with their lower end about
eighteen inches from the floor. The
side chains should be slack enough so
that when not attached to the cow,
the center will hang eight or ten
inches from the floor. This tie gives
more liberty than the stanchion, and
does not interfere with the cow when
rising. These ties may be easily made
out of the old chains by the village
blacksmith. The Iron bars should be
bolted to the sides of the stalls.
EXCELLENT BOX FOR FEEDING
Device Shown in Illustration Saves
Much Feed That Cows Waste Dur
Ing Process of Eating.
Most cows when fed bran or shorts
will waste about a third during the
process of eating. They will get a
mouthful and scatter It over the out
side of the box. The box shown in
the accompanying Illustration is in
tended to obviate this difficulty, says
the Homestead. It is made 14 inches
wide and 28 Inches deep with the back
side 12 inches deep, the top section

then nailed in the bottom of the bos
as indicated, which are two Inches
high and compel the cows to lick the
feed instead of getting a mouthful to
scatter over the ground.
Cheesecloth for Milk.
No use to use cheesecloth for strain

ed after each operation. We have seen
farmers shake out the cloths, souse
them into a pail of cold water, hang
them on the fence and let them go at
that.
Cooling Milk.
In spite of all that has been publish
ed in the farm papers and urged by
dairy schools, there are yet compara
