BARNS AND OTHER BUILDINGS.
The barns and buildings are
models in architecture and comfort,
as clean as kitchen and as sweet
to the nostrils as new moWn hay.
The floors are washed and scrubbed
daily, the animals groomed up to
the very highest point and every
attention has been paid to ventlla-
ton and the sanitary conditions OF
the buildings and cattle. The same
attention is paid to preparing the
food of the stock. Flowing water is
conducted through the managers. A
modern grist mill is an indispensi-
bic part of the horses commissariat
and all food given to the live stock
on the farm receives as much at
tention in preparing as, in proper
ton, does that served at first class
restaurant. The power contributing
to the operation of the grist mill is
by gas engines and the stables are
lighted and heated by gas. The
dairy is a dream of cleanliness; the
butter making is carried on by the
use Of the most improved machin-
cry in charge of an expert and ex-
perienced butter maker-one Of the
best dairymep in the country. The
output of this branch is from 80 to
IS pounds day at this season of
the year, when the supply OF milk
is at its lowest ebb.
Colonel Carter has about I25 head
of cattle, large drove OF hogs, but
the sheep have been pretty we'll
distributed among the farmers in
that neighborhood.
PROTECTION FROM FIRE.
The same thoroughness that ap.
plies to an details of the farm is
noticed in the machinery for the
protection of the buildings against
fire. He has conducted water from
living springs to an iron tank OF
$500 barrels capacity, and which is
situated at an elevation of about
100 feet above the level of the build
ings. From this he has conducted
series of water mains throughout
that part of the farm where the
buildings are located and has placed
water plugs in convenient places
with hose house and regularly
equipped fire department, hose reel
carts, ETC., in case of emergencies.
The employees of the farm are
drilled and instructed in the use of
the apparatus. In case of fire, every
man about the premises would re-
pair to his appointed place and
take up the work which has been
