J. Mackay described in Tho National Live
Stock Journal a barn which is certainly a
novelty. it is something more. A. study
of the matter may convince the sural reader
that, on all Accounts, .a barn . of this shape
may be the best that wadi be built,
The barn is built on M. Mackay's farm
at Mt. Carroll, ills. It is sex-siecagou, or
sixteen -sided. He isemphatiethat the eight
and sixteen -sided farm building is the best.
For less post, for the same space, for Tight,
ventilation, ease and rapidity in accom-
plishment of wont, he declares it will stand
favolyieble comparison with any other shape.
Further; "The •mowing and removing of
the hay is less' difficult in octagonal or sex.
. decagon barns than in rectangular, Inas-
- niuoleae
nas—'niuoh.°as there are no posts, etc., is the way
r when puttiug in•the hay; and no settled bay
to pull from under cross -beams and braces,
ate., when taking it cut:'

SEX-DecAGOfi max
The barn is 100 feet•in short and 103 feet
in long diameter, The posts are 28 feet
high; hips rafters, 48 feet long; cupola, 20
feetrin diameter. An uuplanked 'driveway,'
14 feet wide, rasses through tho'center of
the barn. The ]day floor is 0 feet from the.
ound, and is dividedby the: driveway.
The cattle are chained or fastened in stanch-
ions, ten feet from the outside \wall, and
face toward the center. . A' feodway, 8 feet
Wide (including mangers), pastes around in
front of cattle. • Tho remainder of. the
groundspace•iataken'up by box stalls, bins,.
calfpen, etc. The milk cons and young
heifers are stalled an theleftside, and the
fattening cattle are chained upon the right
side. ' Three hay chutes oneach side of the
' driveway and over the feed alley give ample
room for feeding hay . from the snows. In
front of the fattening cattle and across the
alley' is a manger to which some ;unchained
stock cattle _have acaess. The good hay.
which the, .fctteniug cattle will net eat is
taken front' them and put .in. manger for
stork cattle.
