FARM BUILDINGS 



A Recent Compilation of Flans for General 

 Farm Barns, Cattle Barns, Horse Barns, Sheep 

 Folds, Swine Fens, Fonltry Houses, Silos, 

 Feeding Backs, etc. , all representing construc- 

 tion in actual use. 



This is not a book of proposed plans for farm buildings, 

 but for the most part is a presentation of actual construction 

 by practical men. Many different types are illustrated. 

 Different farms, different latitudes and different methods of 

 management demand an infinite variation in the style, di- 

 mensions and detail of American farm buildings. In barn 

 building, as in the planning of the farm home, nearly every 

 individual has his own peculiar ideas acd tastes. It is rarely 

 that one is entirely satisfied with what a neighbor has done 

 in such matters. At the same time it is clear that many 

 general propositions and many matters of detail possessing 

 real value to a prospective builder may be gleaned from a 

 study of what successful farmers in different parts of the 

 country have already carried out. In the belief that many 

 helpful hints will be found in these pages, and to fill a per- 

 sistent demand for information upon the subject treated, the 

 publishers present this compilation with full confidence that 

 it will meet with general appreciation.
