There are many farmers owning farms of from fifty to eighty acres, who often feel the need of a carriage barn, yet do not feel able to build one in addition to their other farm buildings. To such it is believed this design of a farm and carriage barn combined will be acceptable.

The size of the main barn is 30x60 ft., corner posts 15 ft. high; the linter or back part containing the stables and store-room is 15x68 ft., with corner posts 9 ft. high. The shed containing the pig-pen and hen-house is 8x32 ft., and

8 ft. high. The grain and water buckets in the horse stables are filled through sliding doors opening from the feed-room. The hay-racks should be of hard wood or iron, and filled from the mow over the carriage room. The granary has capacity for three hundred bushels of grain, and the; whole barn storage room sufficient for a farm of sixty acres.
