Several things Nr. Pumpelly has
given the State as suggestions for
improving the farm proposition. One
IS the permanent character of tho
construction on the place. The ce-

an individual character. The use or
cement permits such diversity Of plan
in everything built that any farmer
can have his buildings designed and
erected after his own desires rather
than according to the necessities OF
his material. The DURABILITY OF ce-
ment work is also worth considering.
