Tlie sketch on page 243 will give an idea of the appearance 

 of the building. 



The cellar, which was built by N. W. Brown, the tenant of 

 the farm, extends under the entire building. It has a wide 

 opening under the front, long side of the barn, and a narrow 

 one in the rear north-west corner, for the convenience of the 

 fields lying in that direction. It is seyen and a half feet in 

 depth ; has a substantial wall ; and a small portion of it in the 

 south-west corner is set apart for a root cellar.

Sketch of Uorse Stalls. 



The stalls for the horses are located in the two bands on the 

 left of the front doors. They are provided with a passage-way 

 in front, three and one-half feet wide, into which the movable 

 feed-boxes, hereafter illustrated, may swing, and where grain 

 chests can be kept. In the upper part of this 5)assage-way are 

 the rears of the hay racks. 



The stalls themselves are provided with racks flush with the 

 front wall, as shown in the accompanying sketch, and with 

 movable boxes, as also shown. The floors are laid with two- 

 inch plank, sawed in strips four inches wide, and separated 

 three-fourths of an inch, for drainage of the water.
