Excerpt from Louden Barn Plans This book is published with the view of aiding the farmer and dairyman in building his barns so they will properly and economically answer the purpose for which they are intended. Our Architectural Department was established for the purpose of assisting our customers in not only planning barns that will meet all their requirements in the most economical construction, but also to assist them in solving all other problems that come up, such as proper lighting, heating, ventilating, drainage, disposal of manure, and other sanitary and hygienic problems, as well as proper protection against weather exposure and fire risk. The department is conducted by men of wide experience who are competent to handle all kinds of farm building construction, and they will combine utility and sanitation together with economy and strength. Our landscape architect can so arrange the farm buildings of any large estate that they will harmonize with their surroundings, and be in harmony with one another. Your farm buildings can display individuality and good architectural design, and at the same time be practical, modern and convenient, separately and collectively. All the plans shown in this book are our own original designs, produced by our Architectural Department. Some of them have been copied from our illustrations and published in other books and periodicals. These plans represent the practical results from ideas mostly originated by farmers and dairymen, but are worked out in detail by our expert dairy architects to meet the climatic conditions and other requirements of individual cases. Let Us Help You Plan Your Barn Whenever you build a barn or any other kind of building, you build for a definite purpose; this definite purpose should be kept in mind from the start to the finish. Whether it be for properly housing and caring for live stock, for the storage of feed and farm implements, for preparing products for market, or for a combination of some of these, no matter what the purpose may be, it should be built with the correct amount of floor space for each purpose, the total of which will determine the size of the building. This rule seems very simple, but sometimes becomes very complicated when the question of economical construction is taken into consideration. For example, a barn 40 feet square would have a floor area of 1, 600 square feet, and may be of the correct size and meet all the requirements for which it is intended. At the same time it may be found after careful calculation that a building 32x50 feet, which has the same floor area, will also meet the same requirements, and may cost less on account of not requiring so heavy construction for a 32-foot span as would be necessary for a 40-foot span. This is where the practical builder and trained architect, who is thoroughly versed in the requirements of modern farm buildings, can be of great service to the farmer and dairyman.
