18 KANE COUNTY, ILLINOIS. 



BUILDINGS. 



My carriage and scale house, granary, and hog house, are 

 all in the same building. The main building is thirty-two by 

 eighty-eight feet, with fourteen feet posts, and appropriated as 

 follows : Twenty feet of its length, on the east end, contains 

 my scales, for all purposes of weighing, and my carriages. The 

 scaffolding or second floor of this department is finished off 

 into a wool room eight by twenty feet, on one side of the drive- 

 way, and a storage room twelve by twenty feet, for seeds and 

 finer articles, on the other side. The next thirty-two feet of 

 the length of said building is devoted exclusively to storing 

 the different kinds of grain, while the remaining thirty-six feet, 

 with arrangements attached for sleeping purposes, constitute 

 my hog-house. The scaffold, or second floor in the hog-house 

 is used for storing corn for feeding purposes. A driveway 

 runs through the center of the entire building. My feeding 

 floor, thirty-two by thirty-six feet, can be all used for this pur- 

 pose, or by means of movable partitions, I can form a drive- 

 way, ei^ht feet wide, through the center, and any number of 

 small pens, for single hogs, that may be desired, on either side. 

 My wind power will carry the water into a-ny part of thi.i 

 building where I may desire it.
