A concrete barnyard makes a fine exercise lot in all kinds of weather
and always affords a dry spot for the animal’s bed. Every shower washes
the surface clean and flushes the droppings into the manure pits.
Concrete yards lighten the work of the housewife, as there is no mud to
be tracked on the walks and kitchen floor. The use of rubber boots is
unnecessary. On concrete floors not a particle of grain need be wasted.
The way to the water trough is always dry, smooth and passable.
Concrete floors promote and protect the health of farm animals and
increase the profits of farming, stock raising and dairying.
