The lane between fields F and G is between 3 and 4 rods wide and occupies acres of crop land worth $125 an acre. This lane leads to a pasture in a creek bottom, used for pasturing colts and heifers. It is too distant from the barns to be used for pasturing other stock. Two cows are kept for home use. A lane leads from the barns.
