A MODEL DAIRY.

Lee s. Dickinson has the fOunda- tion for his large new barn on the Chauncey Beers place completed and expects some time next week to raise the barn. $. B. Hubbell and-son of Oxford put in the foundation and F. E. Bostwick and c. B. Wooster are do- ing the carpenter work. The barn is 92 X 34 feet, with 14-foOt posts. The roof will be octogan in shape and the purline posts will be 26 feet high. There is to be 6-foot basement under the barn, making the barn from the basement to the peek of the roof about 55 feet. The basement is to be ce- mented and fitted up with 60 stan- chions and the COWS will have water at their heads so they can drink at any time. It will be we'll lighted and ven- tilated and will be model stable for keeping stock. There will be two large barn floors so that each bay will be convenient for putting in the hay and grain. When the barn is com pleted it will be one of the best equip ped and up-to date barns in this local ity. MT Dickinson is now keeping on his farms about 125 head of stock. He cans of milk per day. His stock is mostly of the Holstein breed. He has two full blooded registered Holstein bulls and seven full bloOded registered Holstein COWS and has other valuable COWS in his herd. MT Dickinson told your correspondent the other day that if any one should come and offer him S75 per head for his herd of milking COWS he would refuse it. It would be hard to find a better herd of COWS any where.
