In Chapter 9 the animals set forth on rebuilding the windmill after the battle. Boxer, who was seriously injured in the battle, keeps working and the animals see the pain in his movement and work. So Clover makes a poultice for him and he gradually returns to full strength. He is quite old and will not retire until he see's the windmill off to a good start. He is as well looking forward to retirement after all the labour he has done for the cause. The food grows more scarce and the animals have smaller rations while the pigs and dogs are still having meals. Squealer keeps readjusting the rations and the statistics and the rations are still more than what Mr. Jones used to give. Then four sows give birth to Napoleans piglets, 32 in all, and he proposed to make a school for their education even with the dwindling funds. In April, the animal farm becomes a republic after a unanimous vote for Napolean. The as well found out more on Snowball and he's helping Jones for the fight for humanity. One day while Boxer was pulling a stone to the windmill his strength fails and he collapses and animals rush to the pigs and they propose to take him to a human hospital. The cart comes and Benjamin reads the inscirption on the side and it says Boxer is being sent to the glue factory to be slaughtered. Then the animals cry out to tell Boxer to escape and he frantically keeps kicking and trying to escape, but is unable to. Soon Squealer announces that the doctors could not cure Boxer and he has died at the hospital. He claims to have been at the great horse’s side as he died and calls it the most moving sight he has ever seen he says that Boxer died praising the glories of Animal Farm. Squealer denounces the false rumors that Boxer was taken to a glue factory, saying that the hospital had simply bought the cart from a glue maker and had failed to paint over the lettering. The animals heave a sigh of relief at this news, and when Napoleon gives a great speech in praise of Boxer, they feel completely soothed. Not long after the speech, the farmhouse receives a delivery from the grocer, and sounds of revelry erupt from within. The animals murmur among themselves that the pigs have found the money to buy another crate of whisky, though no one knows where they found the money.
In the final chapter, years pass. Many animals age and die, and few recall the days before the Rebellion. The animals complete a new windmill, which is used not for generating electricity but for milling corn, a far more profitable endeavor. The farm seems to have grown richer, but only the many pigs and dogs live comfortable lives. Squealer explains that the pigs and dogs do very important work which is filling out forms and such. The other animals largely accept this explanation, and their lives go on very much as before. They never lose their sense of pride in Animal Farm or their feeling that they have differentiated themselves from animals on other farms. The inhabitants of Animal Farm still fervently believe in the goals of the Rebellion (a world free from humans, with equality for all animals). The pigs then start walking on two legs and the animals are surprised and the new quote for the Rebellion is: "four legs good, two legs better". Clover, whose eyes are failing in her old age, asks Benjamin to read the writing on the barn wall where the Seven Commandments were originally inscribed. Only the last commandment remains: “all animals are equal.” However, it now carries an addition: “but some animals are more equal than others.” In the days that follow, Napoleon openly begins smoking a pipe, and the other pigs subscribe to human magazines, listen to the radio, and begin to install a telephone, also wearing human clothes that they have salvaged from Mr. Jones’s wardrobe. The pigs build stronger bonds to the humans and are becoming more like humans then pigs and the animals can't distuguish which are pigs and which are humans in the change of roles. The Animal Farm continues to work under the Rebellion and classes have changed for the animals and pigs.
