Practical Farm Buildings: Plans and Suggestions

"Practical Farm Buildings: Plans and Suggestions" by A. F. Hunter is a practical guide published in the early 20th century. This work focuses on offering detailed architectural plans and construction advice aimed at improving farm buildings, particularly those related to poultry. The book serves as a resource for farmers looking to build or adapt facilities that promote the health and productivity of their livestock, specifically chickens. At the start of the publication, the foreword acknowledges the positive reception of an earlier edition and the intention to expand upon it with more plans and suggestions suited to diverse needs. It emphasizes the importance of suitable building locations, especially for poultry houses, and introduces fundamental principles for construction, such as ensuring dryness and adequate sunlight. The opening segments discuss essential design elements that ensure the health and well-being of poultry, underlining techniques and practices to create effective, functional farm buildings.
