Arranging the various units of a farm building group so that time and labor are saved is an interesting a3 well as a profitable study, one which farm engineers and practical farmers are constantly at work on to cut down time and labor in farm operation. In the farm building designs presented pre-sented here, an interesting arrangement arrange-ment of two important farm buildings has been made. The barn is a combination com-bination dairy and horse barn. Ad-Joining Ad-Joining it Is the Implement house, wherein are housed the farm tractor and the farm implements the horses are expected to pull. It is obvious that getting out the teams, hitching them to the Implements and starting out for the day, is quickly and easily accomplished. It Is just as apparent that the teams are put away with considerable con-siderable less labor and a great saving sav-ing in time. The barn is the garubrel-type structure, struc-ture, 36 feet wide and 42 feet long. At the rear end are the horse stalls, while back are two rows of stanchions for ten cows. Besides there are a calf pen and a bull pen. The interior arrangement of the barn is shown b the lloor plan. The implement shed is of the gable type, 30 feet long and 24 feet wide. The front is closed by a series of three sliding doors, while, a fourth sliding door at the back enables the owner to get out .Implements stored in the rear portion of the building, j The arrangement of the barn is according ac-cording to the modern -ideas of- bare planning. The -section for horses is separated from the cow stable by a solid wall broken with a single door leading into the feed alley. Thert are two single horse stalls and a box i stall. The stanchions for the cows I are ranged on two sides of the center cen-ter feed alley, while at the back ol the stalls is the litter alley. An overhead over-head track carrier takes the feed to the mangers, and the carrier over the litter alleys is used for removing manure. The barn Is well ventilated by a suction ventilating system. j The extension of the gable over the hay door takes care of the hay-carrier track so that the hay is put away by a sling. The hay Is removed through the hay chute in the center of the barn at the front and opposite the door and carrier track leading Into the cow stable. The convenient arrangement of the 1 barn and the placing of the two buildings, build-ings, make this grouping one that will appeal to the farmers who are interested inter-ested In cutting their labor costs and in saving time in the various farm operations. |
