The silos are 36 feet in height, inside diameter 14 feet, walls 12 inches with an air space of 3 inches. The material used in the construction of this building is dressed Georgia pine. The stables have a capacity for 70 head of cattle and 10 horses, separated by a solid concrete wall. Both stables are fitted with modern galvanized iron fixtures. This barn is a fitting home for the imported Clydesdale horses and Shorthorn cattle which are bred on this farm. At the writing of this article, there are 115 head of cattle and 15 horses, which include a fine herd of dairy cows. |
