PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENT.
Works upon Barns and Out-Door Buildings have hitherto been so expensive as to limit their circulation to comparatively few in number. Their prices have ranged from Five Dollars upward. We herewith present to the public a Volume of two hundred and thirty-five pages, embracing two hundred and fifty-seven engravings and illustrations, at so moderate a price as to be within the reach of all. Every professional builder, and every person, be he farmer or otherwise, who intends to erect a building of this kind, can, in this book, secure a wealth of designs and plans, for a comparatively trifling sum. The bulk of the work has been performed by Doct. Byron D. Halsted, whose fitness for the task is well known.
INTRODUCTION.
The proper and economical erection of Barns and Outbuildings requires far more forethought and planning than are ordinarily given to their construction. A barn once built is not readily moved, or altered in size or shape, and the same may be said of a corn house, a poultry house, or even a pigpen.
Only the most general rules can be laid down to guide one in the selection of a site for Barns and Outbuildings. Much depends upon the wants to be consulted and met. Individual taste may, and often does, have very much to do in determining decisions. If possible, the barn should be located upon a rise of ground, where a cellar can be built, opening upon the lower ground to the rear. The outbuildings should not be so close to the house as to appear a part of it, nor so far distant as to be inconvenient. The old practice of scattering the buildings over the farm, a sheep barn in one place, and a cattle barn in another locality, etc., has been found more inconvenient and expensive than to group them near each other. The labor of getting the crops to one locality is less than that involved in passing to and fro to feed them out in winter. All the outbuildings are more or less dependent. The corn crib bears certain relations to the pigpen and the poultry house, etc. The same pump may serve the sheep, cattle, and other farm stock, provided they are housed close by it, and therefore near one another.
The farmer who intends to erect any building should first consider the amount he wishes to store in it. This calculation must be based upon the present and prospective size of his farm, the number of acres of each crop, the kind and number of head of live stock, etc., etc. It may not be within ones power to go into every minute detail ; but it is far better to canvass the ground thoroughly, and base the size of the buildings required upon calculations carefully made, than upon none at all. In constructing farm buildings, the error is usually on the side of too small structures, as the thousands of lean-to sheds, annex stables, and hay stacks, etc., through the country testify to.
