 a small yard attached, about ten by eighteen feet, 

 which in good weather they always get with their 

 pens. Ventilating windows are also provided for 

 all the pens, and are always regulated according to 

 the weather. Two of these lower pens have two 

 cisterns, supplied from the roof of this shed and 

 one side of the barn, which generally, but not 

 always, keep the sheep in this building supplied 

 with water. 



The next building is a shed, a " lean-to," on 

 the north side of the barn, twenty by forty -four 

 feet, used as the others for piling manure under 

 in summer, cleaned out and treated same as the 

 others in the fall, and holding seventy sheep. The 

 upper part is used for straw, corn-stalks, etc., in 

 winter. Under this shed I have a well, which 

 besides its natural supply, gets what water this 

 roof brings, together with the other side of the 

 barn and another shed not yet mentioned. This 

 shed has no yard.

 had another temporary one I used last winter), is

 The upper part of this shed is filled in summer 

 with feeding hay for the sheep, to be fed out in
