 yard for the stock, but good-sized paddocks 

 and plenty of them, changing the cattle be-

 chicken place either directly in rear of the 

 barn or flanking its far end as horse barn

 barn front but in all suitable weather both 

 swine and chickens ought to be confined on 

 the paddock plan the same as cattle. By 

 such arrangements the existence of any 

 filthy looking spot anywhere on the premises 

 may be prevented. Place the horse barn to

 from the house. Opposite it, to the right, 

 equally far from the main barn, rear an 

 agricultural implement house where reap-

 wagons, etc., can be stored. Buggies and 

 light wagons may be kept in the horse barn.
