HE FARM is divided into three departments: 

 the Dairy, the Piggery, and the Hennery, of 

 which the first is most important, although 

 each of the other two receives the same scru- 

 pulous care. While there are these three main depart- 

 ments, there should be included, perhaps, a fourth, the 

 Farming Department. The Dairy has to do with milking 

 the cows, with the care of the milk, and with the making 

 of butter; the Piggery, with the breeding and care of the 

 pigs, and with their slaughter and preparation for ship- 

 ment to the Hotels; the Hennery, wath raising chickens 

 and eggs. The Farming Department caters to all three. 

 Its function is to produce feed for stock and to provide 

 horses and wagons for the many requirements of the dairy 

 business. Thirty horses and thirty-five wagons and hay- 

 racks, to say nothing of mowing machines, horse-rakes, 

 machinery for ice-cutting, and two portable gasoline en- 

 gines, are required.
