Feed bins are built next to the silo with larger bins overhead. The horse barn contains 3 single and two double horse stalls, and a box stall. A feed room with overhead bins is located in the horse barn. The concrete foundation wall extends up to the mow floor level. Barn has a concrete approach for the convenient handling of grain and hay, directly on the mow floor. The barn 60X DOUPI Page One Hundred Seventy-two above the concrete wall is of a STAR plank frame, trussed roof construction, similar to the barn shown on page 148. The frame walls are covered with vertical drop siding. Hay mow capacity, 145 tons. Special attention has been given to the planning of lighting and ventilation in this barn. It has all the advantages, but none of the objectionable features of the dark, damp, old fashioned bank barn. This is the kind of barn that answers the requirements of thousands of American farmers. As you can see from the floor plan, it is de-—J signed to save the greatest possible amount of labor. The feed- O ing alley runs out from the feed room, thus shortening the distance between cows and feed and saving thousands of steps throughout the year. Complete STAR Equipment makes the work in the barn a real pleasure. 5 q O M A N C A h I I IxloINI IAI,IMI,IAI5l I
