feet long, 40 feet wide and 81 foot post. and
capable of holding $50 toes of hay. $780, 900
shingles will be required for the roof. The
design is original. A covered driveway runs
through the barn, resembling barn within a
barn At intervals of 40 fest in this drive
way there are open spaces for hosting the
nay from the rack with horse hay fork to
