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 . equently, with a cleancow barn—and all the plans and data which have here beenlaboriously compiled are for the sole purpose of having a cleancow barn—it is not in the least objectionable to locate thedairy adjoining the cow barn, and even to connect it by a roof,so long as it is separated by fresh air. Care should be taken,however, to keep the dairy roof lines low and to place it so thatit will shut out as little as possible the air and light fromthe cow barn. The larger the dairy building is, the further itshould be removed from the quarters of the animals. Anideal disposition, if the grade permits, would be to lower the 79 80 MODERN FARM BUILDINGS floor of the dairy four or five feet, so that from the level ofthe cow barn floor the milk might be poured directly over thecooler in the milk room. In planning the dairy and its equipment it is necessary toknow approximately how much milk is to be taken care of,and it is usual to figure ten quarts (or twenty pounds) a day COW B&RH. FIG. 23—DAIRY AT OAKDALE, L. I., FOE F. &. BOURNE, ESQ. per milking cow. This is rather more than the average ofa Grade herd, and less than the average of a thoroughbredherd containing cows of advanced registry, but it is a depend-able estimate and can be used at all times. In the dairy the care of the milk can be brought about ina much more flexible manner than is possible in the cow proper and adequate dairy accommodations may befound in a building of two rooms—or even of one. Fig 23shows a more generous solution of the requirements of the THE DAIRY 81 dairy building, and we will take this as a typical plan, review-ing the smaller building later. This plan provides for a milkreceiving room, milk
