Mr. D. C. Kenyon, of Carbondale, Pa., describes a convenient home-made
Stable Tie as follows: Our tie, of which we send you a miniature sample,
is made of three-eighths inch rope, which is braided into an iron ring
sliding freely up and down a post set close to the manger or feed-box.
There is a knot or frog on one end, and a loop on the other. The ends
pass on each side of the cow’s neck, and the knot is slipped through the
loop which may be made tighter by twisting. Similar fastenings made of
chains with snap hooks may be bought at the hardware stores, but such an
one as is here described will last a long time and answer every purpose.
