another. I have a wagon or carriage house close 

 to this barn, twenty by thirty feet, with cellar 

 the whole size, eight feet in the clear, middle 

 and upper floors. This cellar is used exclusively 

 for roots. The roots are generally cut by machine, 

 and every day at half-past twelve, are fed to the 

 sheep. When I have plenty of them, we feed 

 daily at the rate of from three to four bushels to 

 the hundred. The middle floor of this building 

 is used for carriages, sleighs, harness, etc., and 

 the upper floor for grain for the sheep, and holds 

 from fifteen to sixteen hundred bushels (not 

 without studding the beams however). After 

 the feeding and watering is finished in the morn- 

 ing, the grain that is needed from the wagon 

 house is brought down and mixed with oil-meal, 

 etc., in the alley heretofore mentioned in the 

 granary in the barn, for the next two feedings. 

 The next building I shall mention, which I 

 will call shed No. 1, is twenty-one by twenty- 

 four feet, sixteen foot posts — on the south side of 

 the barn. The upper part of this building is 

 filled in summer with market hay, which is 

 pressed out and sold in the fall, the floor covered 

 with sawdust and leaves, and when the time 

 arrives, forty sheep are put up and kept there
