The Bailey Barn.

The new Bailey barn is now nearly
completed a crew of twelve men have
been at work for the past six months.
Joseph Snow of Webster, Mass, has had
charge of the work and the rapid pro
gress that has been made is largely due
to him. Mr.. Snow has been ably assist
ed by Joseph Carpenter and James
Manger also of Webster. Local car
penters and other help about town have
made up the crew The plan was drawn
by G Il. Clemance of Worcester and is
modern in all respects. The dime nsions
are 100 feet long by so fit. wide with 20
TT. post and II fit. cellar under the
whole of it. There is also an ell "a by
80 #. for young stock, with basement,
and is 80 arranged that it will accom-
modate 40 head
The back half of the main building is
for the keeping of dairy cows and is SO
arranged that it will accommodate %,
having stalls across the end and on both
sides, facing the main floor with several
box stalls. The stalls are all of hard
pine with slate cribs and running water
in front of them. The front half will
contain milk room for dairy purposes
and mixing room for the mixing of
grain that comes down from above in
separate spouts and several additional
box stalls. set of scales near the door
for weighing any load of produce that
you wish to weigh and a silo that is II

inside and out and a cemented concave
bottom with suitable drainage and
bricked to the main floor. The whole
of the main harm is shaathed fhYouuh M Z
with hard pine finish and all modern
Improvements added for the convenience
and comfort of the stock.
The location is such that it can be
seen on all roads that lead to our village
and adds much to the looks of the town.
The color is drab with dark trimming
and reflects much credit on the painters,
George Williams and Eben Carsley of
New Portland, who have had charge of
the work. The hip roof of the main
barn, other additional out building and
the four cupola and likeness of the
typical Jersey cow covered with gold
leaf for weather vane, all help to make
the surrounding most beautiful.
We feel that we have reason to be
proud of such building in our village
and are safe in claiming it to be equal in
all respects to any barn in New England
Mr. Bailey will increase his herd of
dairy cows and also enlarge his flock of
thoroughbred sheep, an industry that
has been receiving his attention of late !;
also large number of hogs will be kept;
and last, but not least, he J., has recently
bought several Angora goats and will
soon increase the number to twenty-five.
