Sliding doors divide the main barn
from the ell. The cows stand facing a
ten-foot feed alley with a low two
foot manger, in front Of them, and a
one and one-half foot gutter having a
six-inch drop behind them; four and
one-half feet are allowed for the
length of the platform Between the
gutter and the wall is three and one
half foot space which gives ample
room for cleaning. The walls are
plentifully supplied with large win
dows SO the barn may have quaint
ties of sunlight. The manure pit is
at the south end Of the barn, just to
the west of the large doors at the
east side Of the driveway and connect
ed with the barn by a door and a.
short alley in a stave silo, with an in
side diameter of 16 feet, and a height
of rs feet, giving capacity of 80 tons
which is sufficient to give us succu-

track connects all parts of the barn
SO that either the feed or manure car
can easily do the work.
In the main barn We find five horse
stalls, four calf pens. a bull pen and a
large storage bin for roots. We also
find a hay-bay connecting with the
upper floor SO that all hay for stock
Is easily pushed or unloaded into it.
The overhead track comes through
the doors from the ell so that feed
can be easily loaded onto the car. The

Convenience.
(By c. 5. MILLER,


/ am glad to see so many farmers
naming their places. A name over
the main gateway or on the gatepost
gives a sort of dignity and air of per-
manency to the farm. A farm name
is always great convenience to trav-
elers because few of our country
roads are named and a farm cannot
easily be located except by name.

In the south nearly every planta-
ton is named and these names carry
with them something of the true spir-
