Try under the further end of the barn floor,
so arranged that the grain and feed can
be easily binned or discharged for use in
the stable. The end of the barn at the
upper entrance door is all floored over,
making a conuenient storage place for
farming tools and other articles. Here
are several trap doors through which
roots are dumped and spouted to the
cellar, and sawdust and muck is dropped
to go into the proper place below. Con-
venient pitching holes are arranged next
the outside Of the barn through which
the hay in the bays is thrown to fall into
the stable below. At the upper hay door
way the ground has been so leveled as to
make it easy to either drive or back in
with a load, and a road has been built
along the side hill, to make an easy in
cline to draw hay or muck from the lower
parts Of the farm. We have not men
toned the hen stables, and the many
about the building that help make it a
