it  is  not  like  the  usual  run  of  books 
designed  for  advei  Using  purposes. 
It  is  published  by  a  firm  of  architects 
whose  suggestions  for  better,  bigg er- 
money-making  farms  were  not  in¬ 
fluenced  by  us  in  any  way. 
They  have  planned  the  buildings 
for  hundreds  of  farms  and  have  put 
into  this  book  details  which  will  help 
swell  your  profits  no  matter  what  size 
your  farm  is  or  what  you  grow.  Ask
