A drain tile is marked onthe plan leading from the corner of thestorage barn and running across the endsof the feeding pens down the whole lengthof the alley to an outlet in the field be-yond. The brick pavement in each feedlot slopes to the center to lead the waterto the tile drain underneath which con-nects with the trunk line of tile near thefence in the alley. This main drain in-creases in size to accommodate the extradrainage as it proceeds past the differentpens. An open shed twelve by thirty-two feetoccupies one end of each yard. This shedis not paved but is kept well bedded. Allthe rest of the yard is paved with bricklaid flat on a cinder bed.
