Modern farm buildings : being suggestions for the most approved ways of designing the cow barn, dairy, horse barn, hay barn, sheepcote, piggery, manure pit, chicken house, root cellar, ice house, and other buildings of the farm group, on practical, sanitary and artistic lines . g a friendly call. This same plateshows a better method still for increasing the shed room by util-izing the shelter afforded by the corn crib, and the author isindebted for this idea not to his own imagination but that of aclient, Mr. W. P. Hamilton. Here the corn crib has beenraised bodily, high enough above the ground to allow a horseand cart to be driven beneath. Each concrete post had castinto it a heavy hitching ring, and no horse as yet has succeededin reproducing for himself what is told in the story of Samp-son. This little building was placed in the center of the farm-yard, where it has served its double purpose well. In the plate facing page 205 a small corn crib has been placedover the watering-trough in the cow yard of a group of build-ings designed to accommodate six cows. It has been raisedhigh enough above the water so as not to interfere with the cat-tles drinking, while the water below may have some effect indeterring the rat who would seek the corn above it.
