The stables may be con- structed of whatever material the builder may desire, and as the localities in which this book will be read are so widely separated, and the price of materials consequently so variable, it is impossible to give any accurate estimate of their cost. For the reason that we have not room to give the plans of large general-purpose barns, the plans given are those of stables alone; but the arrangement or suggestions in the drawings may well be followed in planning quarters for horses in large barns.
