lliere is now at the Central Experimental Farm, probably the most complete, 

 modern and perfect system of live stock barns which represent the best types that 

 can be found in Canada. 



Inquiries as to details of these building plans are coming, in increasing num- 

 bers, from all parts of Canada. Consequently, this Division each year has been 

 assisting an increasingly large number of farmers in planning either the erection of 

 new, or the remodelling of their old buildings. Although this takes a large amount 

 of time, yet, considering the most undesirable state of the average Canadian barn, 

 it is felt that this work demands immediate attention. Farmers, anticipating the 

 construction or remodelling of their farm buildings, may receive information along 

 this line by writing the Division of Animal Husbandry, Central Experimental Farm, 

 Ottawa.
