Cow-houses, covered yards, piggeries, dairies, and the farmhouse itself - A. Dudley Clarke's Modern Farm Buildings sets out how to plan, put up, and keep in order every part of a working homestead.

Clarke was a land agent, and he won the Royal Agricultural Society's silver medal for his plans of farm buildings. First issued in 1891 and twice revised, his manual takes on the everyday problems of a late nineteenth-century estate: a homestead that has outgrown its layout, an old barn worth re-adapting rather than pulling down, and the awkward question of how good a building a farm can actually afford. Fifty-two figures give plans, sections, and elevations for each type of structure, from feeding stalls and open stockyards to Dutch barn roofing, poultry houses, and labourers' cottages.
