I think your correspondent will
find the steel track more satisfac-
tory than the wooden track. Of
course either will do, and the wooden
track is satisfactory, but it costs just
as much as the steel track, and there
is so much more to it. Whether the
unloading shall be from the inside
or outside depends of course upon
the style of the barn. If the barn
is large, and has space sufficiently to
unload, there is something in favor
of this. 1t permits unloading dur
ing a rain storm. for instance. How
ever, the unloading from the outside
enables the whole of the floor space
to be used for storage, which is, of
course, an advantage. l do not feel
