C. 1\lc1.-I wIsh to remodel a barn , 48 hy 84 feet , the floor of which runs through the center from end ) to end. The barn stands north and south find the dwelling house stands about 150 feet south of the south end. I wish to run the floor across the barn and to arrange a cow stable to hold forty-t1v cows , convenient for feeding and clearing out. We do not know how far the bents are apart in your barn , nor how many there are , so that some of them may como directly over the mangers or gutters behind the cattle. If you adopt the plan shown and the bents come over any of the gutters or mangers , so that the posts would'interfere with y ur stable , two posts opposite each - - - f v I I 1 S ' . , e a. - . \ I . t I r i-ti : ; I \ J _ _ . . - . . . _ ' . - - - - 8 + - - - - Ground Floor Plan or Remodeled Stock Barn A. cow stalls : B , passages : behind cattle : C , teed rooms : D. box stall : E , granary - ary : F , drive floor : G , windows. other can be placed on each side of the ' sill , and a 10 by 10 or 12 by 12.

There is an overshoot of six feet on the south side ot the driveway to feed the first row of cattle from. The windows on the west side are close to the doors and come directly over the : gutters in order to let In light. In cleaning out the cow stable the doors can be made wide enough to drive in from the east sIde through the stablee and out of the west side. The stalls are single stalls for swinging racks for mangers , but It swInging racks are not used the stalls can bo converted into double ones If desired. There are thrtr.nlne cows stalls and one box stall ; It the box stall Is not required , . I three single stalls can be made of H. Roomy and Up-to.Date Stable. A.
