For the sum of $3.50 1t is figured that farmer
can erect barn 37x34 feet In size with nelgnt OF

will accommodate from 20 to rs tons of hay and
there is granary about seven by eight feet in size
When the intention Is to feed cattle or sheep 1t is
recommended that the entire left side of the barn
be left unsded affording shed 81 by IL feet with
feed racks along the inner side. which may be con
