Excerpt from Barn Plans and OutbuildingsThe farmer who intends to erect a building should first consider the amount he wishes to store in it. This calcu lation 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, the system of farming, etc. It is not always easy to go into every minute detail of this sort, but it is far better to consider the matter thoroughly and base the size of the buildings required upon the calculations made, than upon none at all. In constructing farm buildings, the error usually made is on the side of too small structures, as the thousands of lean-to sheds, annex stables, hay stacks, etc., throughout the country testify to.After the site and size have been carefully decided upon, there is still much to be done to make the outbuildings present a neat appearance. Barns can be pleasant objects, and impart an impression of comfort and completeness upon all who see them. Their attractiveness will depend upon the symmetry and exterior finish of the buildings themselves, their grouping, the planting of shade trees, etc. The projecting cornice and cupola cost little, but add much to the appearance of a building.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
