This is a photo from the Antique Shop in Park Rapids Minnesota.
Someone cut just a few cords of wood.
The barn in the background looks like it has one of those milk house additions off to the side and a Grainery is off to the right. A milk house addition would have been built onto the barn so that you would have a reasonably clean place to separate milk and cream in a milk separator and a place to wash up all your separator parts. We also kept the bucket and rags there that we used to wash up the cows teats with, and the teat medications and a container of Bag Balm sat in the window. An old coffee can held the white papers that went into the milk strainer. When we used milking machines all the milkers were washed in this room and set upside down to dry and the milker parts were all washed up morning and night. ( If you cannot tell, I grew up on a farm, and I was in charge of the milk cows during the summer, first milking four cows by hand into a milk pail and then with automatic milking machines when the herd got larger. I was also in charge of clean up. I did not mind barn work..I liked it much better than house work.)
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
