The calf pens and milk room are not shown. facing either towards the center or towards the wall. If a manure carrier is used, it is most convenient to have the heads together, as this saves time in feeding with no loss in cleaning. If a wagon is to be driven through the barn for cleaning, the cows should face the wall. More than two rows require that the barn be too wide for efficient lighting and for convenience in handling the cattle. The barn should be located where there is good drainage and where it is con- venient from the standpoint of labor. 127. Lighting. One of the most serious defects in many barns, especially in old ones, is lack of sufficient hght. A light barn is more healthful for the animals, and it is the first step toward removing the objectionable features often.
