A BUSINESS OFFICE
FOR THE FARM

If you are planning to build a
farm home, make it complete by in
cluding in your plans space for an
office. Such a room in the farm home
should be considered more as a nee
essity than luxury. You have a
place in whichto look over and care
for your mail, to file your business
documents, to keep your agricultural
papers and books, and to receive
your business callers. Such a room
would be great incentive to the
proper business management of the
farm.-L. S. U. Press Bulletin.
