en a stone wall about the same time as the house. It measured 55 feet by 40 feet. Some time later a lean 18 feet by 55 feet was built on the south side set on posts. About 1956 a ceiling was put in the easterly bent to form a hen pen in the 2nd storey. This was later fitted with wire cages to accommodate 1500 laying hens. In 1953 the open shed to tlm south was closed in with lumber and a cement floor laid to enlarge the barn to 55 feet by 60 feet. In 1960 more ceiling was put in the barn to make the full 2nd storey. An area about 30 feet by 35 feet was Cemented to form a farrowing unit. This was large enough for eight farrowing pens. Each pen having electric heating in the floor. With the building of a new poultry barn in 1965 the hen pen in the barn was not required. The cages were removed and the pen was fixed up for pigs. In 1966 the cattle stabling was removed and and replaced with steel pens for hogs to make two full floors of space for hogs. The new poultry barn was built to house 5.000 caged hens. It measures 36 feet by 80 feet with truss rafter roof to make post free space. The stud frame has four inches of fibreglass insulation and is covered with steel. There is a work room, cold storage room, built in mechanical manure clean out and thermoâ€" statically controlled ventilation. The cages are arranged in Pens-sf four rows the length of the barn and three tiers high. Each cage measures 16 inches by 18 inches and holds 5 birds. Being without windows the barn in lighted with Mo bulbs controlled by a time clock. Water is also cone trolled by a time clock. Feeding is done very quickly with a motor driven cart. The feed is stored in a 10 ton tank on the east side of the building. Egg production has been satisfactory with a minimum of work. A large number of eggs are graded in the work room and delivered to local stores on a regular basis with the balance of production shipped to a grading station. The farm water supply is obtained from a drilled well 180 feet in depth. The original pump was driven by a windmill and the water was stored in a cement tank, until 1965 when an electric motor driven jet pump was installed.
