Your Factory on the F ami
Modern f: j are kid out so as to get the most
work done with the least lost motion. The barn ought to
be planned in the same way.
Back hauls and other faults in planning arc. expensive.
They make the work more difficult and waste your time
in the bargain.
- The farm factory, also, should be large enough to take
care of the produce from your fields. Many real estate
men estimate the fertility of a farm by the size and ap
pearance of the barn. They set the proper valuation ac
cordingly. Command our services when planning your new barn.
