QUARTERS. 



The lambs were fed in a barn 64 by 100 feet (see Plate I) with 

 hay storage above. A row of 8 pens 12.5 feet wide by 26 feet long- 

 (these measurements include the space occupied by feed racks and 

 watering tanks) was on each side of the barn, with a 12-foot drive- 

 way between the rows 'of pens. Racks for hay and grain extended 

 alonjj each side of each pen, giving about 50 feet of feeding space for 

 each 40 lambs; water was supplied in automatically reg-ulated tanks, 

 one located at the end of each alternate feeding- rack, so that one 

 tank furnished water for two lots. The racks and tanks thus 

 arranged formed the partitions between the different pens. Verti- 

 cal partitions, not shown in the cuts, divided the racks for the lots 

 under experiment. Plates II and III show the interior arrangement 

 of the barn and provisions for light and ventilation. Beside the doors 

 and windows shown in the cuts there were large doors at each end 

 of the driveway and a large opening at the center of the barn, into 

 the Inyinow, from which fjur small ventilators, two on each side of 

 the i ^oi, opened. (See Plate I).
