712 Planning and Construction of Farm Buildings. [Nov., 



in addition the very vital problem of the health and well-being 

 of various kinds of animals living* under artificial conditions. 



Our method of research into this latter problem is almost 

 entirely empirical, and the best results are only attained by 

 the somewhat crude method of trial and error and by examin- 

 ing into the causes of repeated failure or success. 



It is true that a science of animal hygiene is being gradually 

 built up, but in actual practice it is frequently found that the 

 most elaborately planned and constructed buildings, where 

 everv care has been taken to give effect to current ideas, have 

 failed to give the best results hoped for, while some simple and j 

 elementary arrangement answers all purposes.
