At tlie baefc of tlie barn and opposite the stable is a build- ing, Itfx24, for the storage of the manure, but Mr. Moody does not consider it large enough and intends to build a larger one. There is a stall or two for horses, but he intends to lengthen the barn for a horse stable, etc. The mows at each end are 16x40, and the centre one above the cow stable wiH be 24x40, sufficient room for the storage of most, any farm of from one to three hundred iacres. Of course without a modern hay fork there would be no getting on. He is, therefore, sup- plied with a double acting one.
