sills. I did the work myself at odd times during the Full. 

 Tlie superstructure, the center post of which is twelve feet 

 high, has ample room for the storage of gi-ain and hay. The 

 drive-way is nine feet wide ; doors are eight feet square, on 

 roller liinges ; the crib is eight feet wide, eight feet high, and 

 twenty feet long ; building twenty by thirty-one feet in all. 

 Two dooi's are in the basement on the north side, two and one- 

 half by three feet, and an inside drive-way to feed through, 

 with a window same size in each end for liq-ht and air. 

 Double doors for same purpose in front are three and one-half 

 feet wide. The basement contains room for four stalls, and a 

 pen for sows and young pigs, five by twelve feet, which are 

 a great convenience, as I am engaged in breeding Berkshire 

 swine, and raise from fifty to one hundred pigs each season.
