By fencing in an open wood lot and seeding it down with mixed grasses, a shaded pasture, supplied with a permanent spring, was made for the exercise of the cows. A small pasture field was made by seeding with orchard grass and clover near the barnyard, and a gate on the road gave easy access to it.
