No. 85.] 139 



ter cattle, becomes a great item, by feeding from racks on deep bins 

 under cover, and in a comfortable and warm stable — in place of scat- 

 tering it on the ground and in the mud, with the animals constantly 

 passing over it with their dirty feet, treading it into the filth and to- 

 tally spoiling it. 



Let any one who finds his thirty by forty feet barn too small to con- 

 tain both his hay and grain, instead of enlarging it, or building 

 another, put up one of these sheds, sixty or eighty feet long, accord- 

 ing to his stock, and fill it with hay, from the floor to the verge pole, 

 and if he don't find it a comfortable operation on stormy days, and a 

 mine of wealth the year round, then his humble servant will sign a 

 cognovit that he believes wheat will turn to chess.
