The hay chutes are shown iu Fig. 18. These are phined so that hay can 

 be gotten from the mow to the first floor and into the mangers with- 

 out filling the air with dust and without littering the floor of the 

 feed alley with dirt, leaves, etc. The dimensions are shown in the figure. 



Canvass chutes are used for conveying bedding from the mow to the 

 first floor. These can be folded and hung back out of the way when 

 not in use. 



Back of the stalls and fairly distributed are four double cupboards 

 on each side for harness and above each of these, smaller double cup- 

 boards for miscellaneous purposes. The harness cupboards, or lockers, 

 are 4x6 feet and 18 inches deep. See Figs. 11 and 19. 



At the east end of the upper floor is a granary 9x8x16 feet with 

 three bins and a total capacity of 900 bushels. Spouts lead from these 

 bins to the small feed-room on the lower floor. See Figs. 20 and 21.

Figures 11 and 22 show the plan for watering. Two galvanized iron 

 tanks 2x5 feet are placed as shown and are connected by pipe (c) 

 so that tank (b) if: supplied with water from tank (a), which in turn 

 is supplied from the hydrant shown iu figure. Tank (b) is connected 

 with a sewer by a waste pipe(d). The plug (e) consists of a piece of 

 gas pipe threaded into the end of the waste pipe and therefore answers 

 the purposes of plug and overflow. 



A system of ventilation is provided after King's plan. To remove 

 the air from the stable there are four flues 12x21 inches built of 

 sheet iron. They are set into the walls, two on a side, and run up 

 in pairs, each flue pairing with the one oi)i)osite it. The flues of a 

 pair after passing up into the mow follow up just under the roof and 

 meet under a cupola, unite and extend up into the cupola half way 

 to its top. These flues take the air from just above the foundation wall, 

 (see a in Fig. 19), but are provided with registers 18x18 inches just
