Fig. 12 is a perspective view of two stalls in the stables of R. L. Pell, Esq., of Pelham, N. Y.

a, Hay-loft. Behind the hoppers b, b, are holes in the floor through which the hay is put down into the racks e, e, e.

b, b, Hoppers. - c, Floor-beam.

d, d, Conductors which lead from the hoppers to the manger. Close behind b, b, are the grain-bins, so that in feeding the horses, it is only necessary to take the requisite quantity of oats from them, and pour into the hoppers. The groom will thus feed a large number of horses in a short time without the necessity of leaving the hay-loft.

e, e, e, Hay-racks, with oak rollers 4 feet long and 2 inches in diameter, standing perpendicularly 3 feet from the wall. They have round gudgeons at each end fitted into round holes in the bottom and top pieces of the rack. As the horse pulls on the hay to eat it these rollers revolve easily, and he thus gets just what he wants. The bottom of the racks are latticed, so that the hay-seeds can fall below into the seed* box f. - -f, Seed-box.

Fig. 12.

g, Door of seed-box to empty it of the hay-seed.

h, h, Trough running the whole length of the stalls.

i, i, Oak rollers over the edges of the troughs, 3 inches in diameter. The horse will not gnaw this; for the moment he attempts to take hold of it with his teeth, it revolves, and he can not hold it.

j,j, Stall divisions 5 feet wide. The posts at the end of these are of turned oak.]
