Winter is the time when farmers,
dairymen especially, appreciate the
value of a modern, weather-tight barn
for their herds. For in the modern
barn the animals are kept as healthy
and productive during the cold wealth
er as when they are in pasture. They
have fresh air to breathe, are warm
and produce as much milk under the
present-day method Of feeding as they
do in the summer
In years gone by any structures
that provided shelter against the WIN
ter storms and cold was considered
good enough for the dairy cows. Now.

for no waste space, while at the same
time there is plenty Of room for the
animals, and to do the work necessary
IN the most economical way.
While building operations IN the
northern part Of the country are at a
standstill until spring comes, farmers
who will need a new barn before an
other year rolls around should begin
to make their plans. BY carefully con-
sidering the size Of barn needed to &C.
commodate the dairy herd, plans may
be secured and a contractor engaged
so that the work Of building can begin

have been reduced materially during
