IT frequently happens that the outhouses of a farm, such as the ice-house, hennery, etc., receive but little attention.

Some farmers utterly neglect walks or stepping-stones to the barns and other buildings, and content themselves to tramp through mud and snow, when a few hours' work would build a substantial walk from the odds and ends left in erecting the barn. Such conveniences really cost but a trifle compared with the benefit derived from them.
