453. Saving of Labor. It is possible to care for animals 

 with less labor and time where all are brought together 

 under one roof than it is where they are scattered through 

 many buildings and Figs. 164, 168, 169, 170 and 171 rep- 

 resent a consolidated type of barn with composite func- 

 tions, where all of the stock are brought together under one 

 roof. 



Fiu. 169. Consolidated type of barn showing driveway to first and second 



tloor. 



Economy in labor is of much greater moment than 

 economy in material because the material simply repre- 

 sents money invested in this case while the extra la,bor re- 

 quired is a continual expense of a high order. 



454. Distribution of Animals in Stables. The general 



arrangement of animals in stables must vary in detail in 

 almost endless variety, and individual circumstances must 

 determine just what is best. Three types of arrangement 

 for cows are illustrated in cross-section in Figs. 150 to 159 

 under the chapter on ventilation, and Fig. 162 represents 

 two convenient groupings for horses. While Fig. 170 

 shows one plan of division and arrangement of space in a 

 " T lindrical barn.
