That every cow-house be properly lighted and ventilated.
That every yard adjoining a cow-house be well paved, and so
sloped towards the channels and trapped gulley as to permit fluidrefuse
quickly to escape into the sewer. That it be provided with
a fit and proper dung-pit, so constructed as to prevent the escape of
fluid from the dung into the adjoining part of the yard, neighbouring
premises, or public ways.
That the grain-bins and receptacles for wash be kept in repair,
clean, and well covered.
That every cow-house be thoroughly cleansed twice a-day, and
the yards once a day.
That all solid manure be carefully swept up and collected in
the dung-pit twice a-day, and removed from the premises every
morning before eight o'clock. (In the winter months, where fewer
than five cows are kept, the manure may be retained till the second
day.)
That every cow-house be lime-whited at least four times
a-year.
Inhabited rooms over cow-houses are strongly objected to.
It is considered that each cow requires, in order to supply it with
sufficient air for its health, a cubic space of not less than 1000 feet.
The use of deodorising materials is much recommended as
subsidiary to other means of preventing nuisance.
