To provide for different sizes of cows the best wayis to make different sections of stalls with differentlengths of floors—say, one section with the floor longenough for the longest cows, another for shorter cows,another for those still shorter, and then another for theshortest cows, or for young stock. Different widthsof stalls will probably be required, so take it all in all, this will be the very best arrangement that can bemade when the barn is large enough for different sections of stalls. When the barn is small, the stallfloors can be made longer at one end and shorter at the other, thus tapering the floor, so different lengthswill be provided for the different sizes of cows.

Upper AdjustableStanchion Holder, Fig. 1298 Louden Stanchion Alignment (Patented May 26, 1914) Another method is the so-called Stanchion Alignment by which thestanchion is adjusted backward and forward closer to and farther from thegutter. This method has been largely advertised and is favored by somedairymen. In compliance with the demand for a Stanchion Alignmentwe have designed and patented what we believe to be the best device of thekind on the market, as shown by Fig. 938. The Adjustable Holder securedto the top-rail is arranged so the stanchion may be adjusted as much as 6^2inches to one side of the center of the top-iail. By reversing the holderthe stanchion may be placed as far in the opposite direction, thus making a total adjustment of 13 Adjustable Holdei is clamped upon the top-rail by four heavy bolts. The Alignment Anchor (Fig. 1299) is inserted in the curb when the cement is put in,thus making it as
