I will give you my experience on
ventilation of stublm, writes Mr. D
K. I!m to the Furmem' Advocate:
My barn is i'ix'JS feet; height vt
butciut-nt 9 feet. My cattle ttalU are
placed acniKg the short way, or th
18 feet, and under feed al'eyg I have
fi-Inch tile running the entire lenpth
and through the smith walls. About
I foot from the surface, one ile
only, I huve gus iie inserted in the
till opposite every Mull (double),
which projects over the parting
block in the feed manger. There ic
oncrete floor laid over tile and pips
in olleyx. For ventilating shaft t
find that the small shaft, say 4x
inches, running up posts of burn, ure
much better than larger ones, an
there are no down drafts and no
iampness or frost, attaching to them
to full down in mild weather, nn I
they draw better. I find this system
the most perfect. There is always .1
small current of fresh air tempered
coming through the tile and coming
nut of small pipe just where it is
wanted at the animals'noses which
current of air is sufficient to lift thn
foul breath of rattle and send it up
ventilating shaft, yet without any
cold air on the cattle. You are un
able to smell the odor from feeding
turnips in my stables at any time. I
ktuble from 40 to .'( head of cattle,
besides other stock. ) have about 1"
shafts with covers on top, so I cii'i
close any or all of them if necessary.
The shafts are nbnut K feet long
from the ceiling of stable. I would
advise two through roof. I have tile
in my stable which continue through
under my root bins, with ventilation,
which works very successfully. One
can bore hole in tile for gas pipe
with an ordinary bit. 'Temperature
never varies five degrees with this
system.
