Universal, writes Professor II. w.
Gard in Farm and Ffreside. Even
where there are buildings enough for
the farm needs they are often incOn-
veniently arranged, 30 that the cost OF
carrying on the work Is materially In
creased thereby. Too much study can
hardly be given to the problem Of ar
ranging buildings I'm such way as to
economic steps and labor in doing
the. farm work, especially the care Of
stock.
Storage room for implements and
material Is one Of the most common
needs. At Gorningside farm we have
two good barns. one Of which is con-
sidered a large one, but there Is con-
slant need for more room for the
farm implements and wagons. An i'm
plement shed with sides chiefly doors
and an upper story for lumber and
similar things is needed on every
farm. Depreciation is a heavy tax on
the cost Of implements at best
