The farmer his own builder : a guide and reference book for the construction of dwellings, barns and other farm buildings, together with their utilities, describing reliable methods, offering practical suggestions, presenting numerous details and formulas, and explaining simple rules for estimating the labor and materials required With special reference to concrete and carpentry . he building of avat, as follows: (1) A blind chute—an inclined runway, so that theanimal cannot see where he is going. (2) An entering slide, steep enough to shoot the ani-mal in, without a full drop. A direct drop is likely toinjure the animal. (3) Vat must be narrow enough to prevent the ani-mal from turning round, long enough to keep him infrom one to two minutes, and deep enough not to forcehim to swim, but to make him disappear entirely whenhe takes the first plunge. (4) Slope at the leaving end must be gradual and itssurface roughened or cleated, so that the animal mayeasily climb out to the draining pens. (5) As the liquid dip is the most expensive part of theoperation, the draining pens should be fitted with adripping tank or trough, into which the solution drains,to be used over again.
