3. THE MUSEUM VILLAGE

The granary („kamra") (3—6) standing facing the house differs from that of peasant type in the previous farm-yards, It consists of both a granary („kamra") and a bake-house („sütőház"), both doors opening on to the long porch in front with turned wooden columns (111. 38.). There are two large receptacles in the granary, one for wheat, the other for barley and oats. Corn is also stored in wooden barrels placed in the granary; there is a wooden tub for pickle, various vessels and smaller utensils. In front of the bins there is a board on which stand a row of flour-sacks. A great quantity of oats was needed as fodder for pigs and horses; thus oats are kept also on the attic of the building in boxes divided by boards, and poured out onto the floor. The other part of the building, used for baking bread, was altered in the second half of the last century, when the baking oven was transfered from the kitchen and the walls were filled with adobe. In the oven there is space enough for six loaves. The chimney is of wooden construction, with wattle and plaster. Leaning against the wall are utensils for baking bread: fire-irons for poking the fire, a rake to pull out the cinders, a broom for brushing the floor of the oven clean, and finally baskets and troughs in which the dough is put before baking. Possibly the present form of the pig-sty („disznóól") also represents an alteration which took place at the end of the last cen39.
