The harness room should not be less than 

 twelve feet square, and can be in the 

 stable or attached to it. An excellent 

 arrangement is to have the stable, harness room and 

 carriage house combined in the order named. For fine 

 harness, blankets, rugs, etc., closets should be built 

 along the sides; and shelves should be made to hold 



brushes, rags, oil, etc. There 

 should be plenty of pegs and 

 brackets ; also hooks hanging 

 from the ceiling to hold har- 

 ness while cleaning. Every 

 harness room should contain 

 a stove or range, with boiler 

 attachment, so that water 

 can be quickly heated. This is especially desirable in 

 winter, as the chill can be taken from the drinking water, 

 and the mangers, harness and wagons be more readily 

 cleaned by the use of hot water. The heat will also be of 

 great service in drying blankets and wet harness.
