PLAN OF A BARN. 245 



iug and storing of hay and feed. The floor for storage of hay, 

 on the north side of the top of the cow cribs, is raised for the 

 purpose of clearing the tops of carriages that enter the wagon 

 and tool room below. 



In order to reach the doors of the upper floor, with a loaded 

 team, there must be graded ways raised against the east and 

 west ends of the barn, to the level of this floor. In each raised 

 way construct a, reservoir. Make the width of the ways fourteen 

 feet, and support their sides with a face wall. 



On the south side of the east way place a trough for water in 

 the barn-yard. To find the place of these ways, on the ground 

 plan, place their north sides six inches south of the back line of 

 the cow cribs. 



To remove the calf pen. Let there be a flat bar of iron sus- 

 pended horizontally with the upper edge, six inches below the 

 second floor. Make the bar twelve feet long. Bring one end 

 directly over the centre of the pen, laying its length in the 

 direction you desire to move, which had better be over the hog- 

 sty. Place on its upper edge a channelled movable pulley, to 

 which suspend a hook. To tMs hook your tackle. Raise your 

 pen to the desired height, and roll the pulley forward upon the 

 bar to the desired point.
