Every cow stable should have a system of ventilation to keep the air fresh and pure and the cows comfort- able without exposing them to injur- ious drafts.

This type of barn is not recommended and if used for housing dairy cows the lighting and ventilation should- receive special attention. A one-story dairy stable is a very good type. It should preferably be located with its length extending north and south andhave an abund- ance of window space. If the stable is located this way it receives the purifying benefit of both the morning and afternoon sun. The construction should be such as to keep floor, walls, ceiling, and stable fittings' in a clean and sanitary condition.
