The great demand for information
relating to the construction of dairy
buildings led the dairy division of the
bureau of animal industry to start
line of investigation for the purpose
of developing the basic principles OF
such construction. In order to make
the work thoroughly practical, these
studies were extended to the planning
and actual supervision ~ construc-
ton of number of dairy buildings
in different sections of the country.
The work Is still in its formative
stages and far from complete. but al
ready promises valuable results in
securing better methods of construc.
ton. In order to place the matter now
available in form for wider distribu-
ton and usefulness, a number of
plans are here presented, with brief
descriptions.
The designs are not intended to
represent the only constructions ad-
visable for the purposes indicated.
but are intended to be suggestive of
certain principles of construction
which any architect or builder may
use In designing barn or other dairy
building for special location. No two
locations will require or even permit
OF the same treatment so far as ex-
posure, size, form. or building mate
rial are considered: but the prob
lens OF ventilation. cubic air space
per cow. light. floors. ceilings. etc.
are nearly alike in all cases. The de-
signs shown represent feasible and
inexpensive dairy buildings, planned
by the dairy division and built In vari.
GUS sections OF the country. Plans and
specifications were furnished to build
ers. with the understanding that they
would keep account of the cost of
construction and furnish such other
data as might be necessary for a COM
plete description of the work.
A detailed description is given OF
one design. but the principles are
largely the same in all of the plans
shown.
The arrangement of the space can
be adapted to the needs Of the par
ticular location.
