In the barn illustrated, water is obtained through a hydrant connected with the tank and windmill, by which the sheep can be furnished all the fresh water they want, without extra work or trouble. The half of a kerosene barrel makes a good drinking recep- tacle. This is placed in the center of the barn, so that all sheep in the pen can drink from the one tub. The water is drawn from the hydrant while feeding hay. The floor of a sheep barn should be earth. The barn should be built on top of the ground, and if the soil is not dry and porous on top, gravel should be drawn in to form the floor ; except, of course, the grain room, which should be fitted with matched flooring. The doors should be on rollers, sliding back between the siding and the ceiling; the upper part of the doors is glass, to give light and sun- shine when closed in the winter or spring. When open, a temporary sliding gate is used in place of the doors, to shut the sheep either way. The barn is ceiled on the inside with matched lumber, which makes it very warm when closed ; while the outside is.
