FARM ECHOES. 91 



shown on page 87, is one hundred and ninety-one feet 

 long and thirty -five feet wide. The first floor was originally 

 divided into six rooms, one each for oxen, bulls, calves, 

 horses, wagons, and harness, etc., but the increase of the 

 herd rendered it necessary to remove the oxen, horses, 

 wagons, and harness, etc., to another building, so that 

 those three adjoining rooms are now thrown into one, 

 which is filled with cows. 



The ox-room has been fitted up with box stalls for 

 calves and yearlings, the nursery, or calf-room, with its 

 twenty little stalls, being too small for present wants. 

 The animals in this barn have a full supply of hay im- 

 mediately over them, as is the case in all my barns. 



The building on the west side of the square has recently 

 been enlarged to its present size, one hundred and fifty- 

 one feet long, and contains stalls for fifty-two cows. It 

 connects with the North Barn, forty feet wide, which 

 makes up the length of the one hundred and ninety-one 

 feet barn on the east side. 



The Dairy Building, also recently enlarged, now meas- 

 ures thirty-six feet by sixty-two feet, and js - two and a 

 half stories high. 



It contains on the first floor, a reception-room for 

 visitors, who are admitted to the Butter Department on 

 Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, from eleven o'clock 

 A. M. until four o'clock P. M., churn-room, engine-room, 

 room for washing tins, etc., three milk-rooms, one of 

 which is a tank-room, and two rooms for milk and butter 

 boxes. A large, well-aired cellar, with cemented walla 

 and floor, is used for bottling milk. 



The second story contains a large room for milk boxes.
