PLAN OF BARN. 



729 



made as large as required, lower story should be six feet, 

 second story six feet, with roosting places. If breeds want to 

 be kept separate, divisions can be made in both stories to suit. 

 It is ascertained from experience that gravel, lime, char- 

 coal and clear water are all needed for the fowls to have health, 

 and to be productive, and in order for an abundance of eggs in 

 the Winter (which is the great profit), they should have a 

 change of feed, such as corn, oats, rye, screenings, etc., and 

 occasionally ground feed, given warm ; to supply the place of 

 worms, flesh of some sort should be given ; to supply the place 

 of Summer herbage, scraps of cabbage, different vegetables, 

 and young growth of hay, cut and steamed, mixed with bran 

 or meal. 



The above is my plan of a barn, sixty by thirty, and sixteen 

 feet posts. A, is barn yard ; B, doors ; C and G, stabling, 

 which can be made with the mangers as desired ; D, threshing 

 floor ; F, grain bins ; E, mows over head. 



If convenient for a bank barn, of course the stabling can 

 be below the above, and leave the spaces for storage, grain 

 bins, etc., etc. 



Space is made for barn yards on side and ends of barns.
