Altho not ideal, both farmsteads are conveniently arranged and well adapted to their respective conditions. TENANT HOUSES Many of the present New York farms are combinations of two or more original farms or parts of farms. Usually each part of the present farm has separate buildings, and, since two farmsteads were unnecessary after combining, the extra house has in many cases been used as a tenant house for the hired man. In some cases inconveniently located houses have been moved to a convenient location near the main farmstead. On many farms tenant houses are still foimd in their original location, far from the main farmstead and causing the waste of much time in useless travel. From the standpoint of labor efficiency, tenant houses should be located as near the main farmstead as possible because many trips must be made daily from the hired man's house to the barns. Of course the tenant house should not be too near the barns.
