Silo Form Completed. 112 AGRICULTURAL WOODWORKING 113 FARM BUILDINGS The drawings of farm buildings on the following pages are only suggestive and it is expected that local conditions such as size of farm, type of farming and topography of the land at the farmstead will warrant changes. If however, any one who is building, will glean a suggestion from them on how to make the buildings handy and as a result the farming easier, it is thought that the plans will have served a useful purpose. It may be stated that the plans in their arrangement and type of construction are such as are advocated by the better agriculturists. The open front poultry house appears to be gaining in favor as it conserves the vitality of the fowl and consequently produces more vigorous chicks the following spring. The hog house has these particularly commendable features: it is handy in arrangement; it has a ventilating system and admits sunlight in each individual pen. Brood sows do so much better in rearing a litter of pigs in a portable house than in a big house where there are other hogs, even though they are in a pen by theinselves, that the portable house is being used extensively. The A type of house is most generally used be- cause of its simplicity and ease of construction. The corn crib built as called for in the drawing serves a double purpose: a storage place for corn and a place between the two cribs for storing wagons, buggies or implements. The implement shed should have a floor. The type of shed shown appears to be the most satisfactory. The entire front is a set of doors which roll by one another as shown in the detail drawing, making it handy to get machines in and out of any part of the shed. It has the advantage over the open front shed in that it keeps the fowl out and prevents the rain and snow from blowing in. The floor plan of the small combination horse and dairy barn is only suggestive of an arrangement of the floor of a barn for a small dairy farm. The average farmer wishes his horses and cows in the same building so as to save time and steps in doing the chores. With the horse and cow barn separated by a partition and the milk house outside of the barn there is little danger of the milk becoming contaminated. Modern barn construction calls for plenty of light. Thirty-two windows 2' 6"x3' 6", outside dimensions, furnishes approximately one square foot of window to twelve square feet of floor space. The Kind system of ventilation is advocated. Twelve fresh air inlets and four foul air flues are provided which should keep the air in the barn dry and pure. The engine room is separated from the milk house by a wall which keeps the oily odor of the engine from the milk. The alley between the barn and milk house is housed in so that one need not go outside in going from the barn to the milk house. On the second floor two driveways are provided which makes it easier for unloading hay and grain and provides a place for two loads in case of rain or at the end of a day. The granary should be housed in with a ceiUng not less than nine feet high. Windows should be provided in the side and end of the barn for hghting the granary and alley. Double-hinged swinging doors are placed at each driveway. If sixteen instead of twelve foot posts are used, the roof will be high enough to permit the use of rolling doors which are usually preferred. Rolling doors may be used on the barn built to the dimensions called for in the drawing if they are hung so as to roll past each other. In this arrangement only one driveway can be open at a time. A retaining wall should be built not less than tv/elve feet from the barn and the span from the wall to the driveway bridged. By use of the bridge the light is not shut off from the stable as it would be if the approach were filled in against the barn.

It is believed that if one can lace a belt well, using either of these methods he will be able to do such lacing as is usually necessary for transmitting power in farm machinery. Scarcely a day passes on the farm that there is not a call for a knowledge of the more common knots, hitches and splices. The life and use of a rope is greatly enhanced by a knowledge of how to use, care for and repair it. Frequently a hay rope breaks and if the farmer knows how to make the long splice, it may save a trip to town, considerable time and per- haps a few loads of hay. Only the more useful knots, hitches and splices are shown. It is believed that if a country boy can make the long and short splice, properly crown the end of a rope and make the knots and hitches illustrated, he will be equipped for manipulating rope for all practical farm purposes.
