to drive into the basement and the first story. The building 

 is 33 feet squaie, with a flat roof, covered with mastic roofing. 

 The basement is 8 feet deep, and is used for sawing and stor- 

 ing wood. There is also a small store room. The first floor 

 is 8 feet high, and is used^o keep carriages and farm imple- 

 ments in. The upper story is also 8 feet high and is used for 

 granary. On the west and north sides are bins for corn, 3^ 

 feet deep, set out 4 inches from the sides of the building. 

 There are also three doors on each of these sides that can 

 be opened to admit the sun and air to thoroughly dry the corn. 

 The fiat roof I find very convenient for spreading fruit to dry. 

 The outside of the building is finished with planed and 

 matched boards, painted. This building is connected with 

 the house by a covered passage, 3| feet wide, 50 feet long. 



The barn is situated northwest of the granary. It faces the 

 south. It is 100 feet 9 inches long, 40 feet wide, 26 feet 

 posts. The cellar is 9 feet deep, the bottom paved with small 

 stones. 88 feet of the cellar is used for manure, and to keep 

 swine. In the east end is a room 12 feet wide, with cement 

 floor, which I used to store vegetables in. On the first floor I 

 have tie-ups to accommodate 41 head of cattle, which occupies 

 72 feet of the length of the barn. The tie-ups are 13 feet 4 

 inches wide, and the floor between them is the same width. 

 The height of the tie-ups is 7 feet, and the floor is 8 feet 

 high. 24 feet of the south side is used for horse stalls and 

 harness room. On the north side, is a meal room and a spare 

 stall. Between the meal room and stall is the passage to 

 carry the swill to the cellar for the swine. On the east and 

 west ends are wide doors, that will admit a cart and oxen, for 

 the purpose of carrying in muck, etc., to put into the cellar 

 below. This story is ventilated by lour conductors, (two op- 

 posite each other,) 16 inches square, running up back of the 

 bays, then following the roof uniting in a common ventilator 

 on the top of the building. In the second story there is a bay 

 on either side, 100 feet long, 13^ feet wide. The posts on 

 the back side are 19 feet high. In the middle is a floor way.
