Excerpt from Barn Plans and Outbuildings: Two Hundred and Fifty-Seven IllustrationsThe proper and economical erection of Barns and Out buildings 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 ap pear 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
