This object was accomplished. Latterly it hasbeen the custom to feed and water the cattle in one contin-uous trough running the whole length of a line of cows. Thisprocess of feeding and watering is convenient, the long troughis easy to clean, and its use is general. Still it must be ad-mitted that cows so watered are more liable to infection, onefrom the other, than when they eat and drink out of separatereceptacles. The study of bacteria has demonstrated thatthe secretions from the mouth are alive with germs, and cowsin particular have mouths that exude quantities of salivawhich in the natural process of feeding is deposited in manydirections. In high-grade cattle it is undoubtedly well totake precaution against possible infection at the feeding-trough, and to feed and water in a trough divided into sep-arate compartments. This arrangement is shown facing thispage. No doubt this type of trough increases, though not ma-. CONTINUOUS FEEDING-TROUGH, DIVIDED BY RODS ONLY
