On many farms the dairy herd is not
large enough to demand a separate
barn; in that case general purpose
barn is used. In fact on most small
farms this is the most convenient and
efficient type of building. 1t serves to
house not only the dairy herd but the
horses as well. In building this barn,
however, 1t is important to install the
right kind of equipment and use the
best materials. Extra expense at the
start will save money In the long run.
Many farmers make the mistake of
building a cheap structure without
realizing that it will not last any
length of time, and will be a contin-
ual source of trouble and expense as
long as he has ii on his farm. The
farm barn should be carefully planned
on paper before it is built and all
possible angles considered carefully
Then when it is built it will be a
source of pride and real satisfaction tc

more ways than one. 1t will mean
great saving in Tabor, relief from
drudgery, and increased production
from the animals.
When the barn shown here was
planned all these things were taken
into consideration. First the actual
construction was studied. 1t was de-
cided that frame structure on SUBJ
stantial concrete foundation would
make very practical and attractive
exterior. The roof Is gambrel shaped,
and large ventilators have been in
stalled to draw Off the foul air. In
cidentally 1t is well to mention need
of lightning protection. Ninety-nine
per cent Of the fires on the farm have
been caused by lightning and the light
ming rod has been found an effective
preventive.
This building is built T-shaped, with
the horse stalls in the cross wing and
the COW stalls in the long section.
These two sections are separated by a
soilb wan, an uiiuhSciltul ItuulIcu ny
health departments in some states. In
the horse section there are two double
stalls, two single stalls and two box
stalls. Fresh air intakes at regular in
tervals along the wall just above the
stalls insure a continuous supply Of
fresh, inyigorating air. The stall par
titlons are of the latest steel type and
the floor is concrete. Just beyond the
horse barn Is 16-foot sllo connected
with both wings of the barn by a car
rier system.
The other part of the wing contain
ing the horse stalls is divided into feed
rooms where the feed il stored and
prepared for all OF the animals. This
feed is loaded on to the feed carrier.
which runs on carrier track In the
center aisle and carries without any
trouble to the far corner Of the barn.
There Is room for "A cows in the
ether section of the building. These
stalls are arranged In two rows fac
pg each other, with litter alleys In
