There is also a large Clover Cutter, which will cut in various lengths from a quarter of an inch to an inch and a half. The necessary pulleys and hangers for this machine are placed in the rafters above.
Built into the rear and sides of this room are the various grain bins, compactly arranged to reduce the labor of handling to a minimum.
In the Work Shop is also a bench, with vices, etc., and cupboards, built into the walls, where complete kits of tools for carpentry, plumbing, hot water fitting, etc., are kept, in order that the mechanical work, so far as repairs and keeping up the efficiency of the plant go, is done without calling in outside labor.
Back of the Shop, and connecting with it, is the Egg Packing Room, with its necessary arrangement of shelves, tables, etc., for the work carried on there.
To the rear of the Egg Packing Room, but having no connection with it whatever, is the room in which the large Freezer stands, for the preservation of green bone. The concrete floor in this room is sloped to a drain so that it may be thoroughly cleansed every day after the bone is taken out or put into the Freezer. The Freezer itself has a capacity of 2500 lbs. of bone, but the room, under ordinary conditions of weather, maintains such a temperature that there is no difficulty in carrying bone in barrels, standing around the room, which increases our storing capacity to more than double the quantity.
On the second floor of the Work Shop is a complete and modern apartment in which the working foreman lives.
Building No. 9, Horse Stable
This is constructed on the general plan of all the buildings on the Farm, with capacity for four horses, and with necessary room for hay, etc., in the loft above.
A large shed is built at the rear of the stable, in which bins are constructed for the carrying of grit and shell, and also for the storage of packing crates for eggs.
