Ventilating apertures may be made above each door, for use in cold weather. The sheds are arranged in a square, as shown, with a gate at one side for entrance into the interior yard. The yard will give room for ex- ercise, and racks may be provided in it for feeding green fodder, hay or straw. The plan is admirably adapted for the soiling system of feeding, and the making of a large quantity of manure, while forty or fifty cows may be provided with comfortable room, at a cost of $600 to $750 only. In many cases, the value of the manure saved by soiling cattle m such a shed will repay its whole cost in one year. A section of the interior is shown.
