A Palatial Cow Barn.

The new brick slated roof COW barn at
the State insane hospital farm in Angus
"a is good enough for mansion. There
is probably M better structure of the
kind in New England, 1t is nearly 200
feet long and 80 feet wide, and has all
the modern improvements. Its capacity
is for 100 cows, the tie-up running length
wise of the building, 80 animals on each
side.
The barn is lighted by electricity, has
hot and cold water, and its sanitary ar.
engagements are perfect. No hay or
grain is kept in it, but the feed is brought
to the cows on a tramway from barns at
each end of the building. In one of
these barns are three silos.
The basement of the building is for
the storage of carts and farming imple-
ments, and it also contains the steam
heating plant, which is also used for
cooking food for the cows.
The barn is occupied by 70 Holstein
cows, which form the hospital herd.
