Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete for the Farmer For many years the farmer's chief building material has been wood. At one time it was plentiful and therefore an economical material to use. The land had to be cleared for agricultural purposes and because of the farmer's nearness to the timber supply, it is but natural that he used wood almost to the exclusion of other building materials and has continued to do so while it has been largely discarded in the larger communities.

Download or read book Farmer s Handbook on Concrete Construction Classic Reprint written by Portland Cement Association and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farmer's Handbook on Concrete Construction The fact that concrete 1s a plastic material and is easily cast in any required shape makes it especially adapted to farm structures. If properly made it will last forever. Its durable qualities are such that it means the elimination of cost for repairs and renewals. It is a dense and impervious substance affording no harbor for rats, vermin, and other destructive agencies. With the exception of the Portland cement, the necessary materials are usually found upon the farm. For the reasons stated, concrete makes strong appeal to the farmer. The actual money saved in repairs and reconstruction will soon offset any excess cost over other materials. It is often the case, however, that concrete structures cost no more than buildings of other materials, and often less. The farmer can ordinarily do the work with the assistance of his farm hands, making it unnecessary to hire an expert carpenter or mason. Great economy is achieved in this way. Perhaps the greatest benefit to be derived from concrete con struction is the elimination of fire risk. This is of vital importance to the farmer, who is usually too far from a town to permit of any real protection from fire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Concrete The importance of the correct use of concrete as a build ing material can scarcely be sufficiently emphasized, no matter into what particular type of structure the material enters. The cost of good concrete, in labor and materials, is practically no more than that of poor concrete. It is a fact, however, that a great amount of unsuccessful work in concrete results from the non-observance of simple fundamental rules. In the preparation of this manual on farm concrete, the writer has endeavored to treat this particular phase of the subject in a simple, non-technical, and at the same time, a reasonably comprehensive manner, so that a study of it will lead to a clear understanding of actual requirements for successful work.

This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete in the Country With little help other than looking and listening. The farmer grasped the idea of a concrete walk, and being a natural inventor and jack-of-all-trades. Improved on the method by adding a small curb next to his flower bed to keep the dirt from washing on the white walk. This walk was a blessing to the boy - all the time formerly given to scrubbing and weeding the old brick walk could now be devoted to fishing. The yard walk was extended to the barns and outlying buildings. Wading through seas of mud and resulting tracked-up kitchen floors became a thing of the past. By simply increasing the width of the walk, a cellar floor was provided and the farmer had a dry cellar. This was so clean and so odorless that he considered such a floor fit for that most immaculate of all places - the milk house. Concrete cellar hatchway and steps, safe under the heaviest barrel of vinegar. And water-tight, were made in a manner similar to walks. Brick work had long been laid up in a mixture of Portland cement and sand. As this kept the water out, the farmer reasoned that it would keep the water in. And he started to build cistern floors, walls and cover of Portland cement concrete at one-third to one-half the cost of the old brick cistern. After a little more observation. He quit digging deep cistern-pits, with the necessary annoyance of thawing out frozen pumps and carrying water - he built a concrete cistern on top of the ground and made the pumping and carrying of the water a mere matter of turning a faucet in the kitchen and the bath room. Several years ago corn was so cheap that in some sections it was burned for fuel instead of coal. No consideration was then given to the bushels wasted in muddy feed lots. If the mud became too deep, the feeding was transferred to the blue grass pasture. To be sure. As the sod wore out, the feeding-place had to be changed; but somebody had advanced the idea that this particular method of feeding was good for the soil. Many farmers had tried wooden feeding floors and had found them a paying proposition as far as the saving of feed was concerned. In the general health of the animal, and in the shortened time of fattening. But two great drawbacks were the rats that infested them and the constant need of re pairs. In concrete the thoughtful farmer saw the possibilities of an ideal floor - an easily cleaned, rat-proof, disease-proof surface Upon which his hogs, sheep, cattle and poultry might consume the feed even to the smallest particle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete on the Farm and in the Shop: A Complete Practical Treatise on the Commonest Every-Day Uses of Concrete Within recent years there has been increas ing attention given to the use of concrete as a building material. Nowhere has this interest been relatively greater than on the farm. The appeal of concrete is due largely to the fact that care and faithful observance of fundamental principles enable a large portion of the actual labor to be performed by those who are relatively unskilled. The increasing cost of lumber has made concrete not only a formidable competitor but successful rival. Not only is this true but those who have once used concrete have come to a realization that in the concrete structure expensive upkeep is eliminated. There is no longer the continual an nual outlay for repairing, painting, straightening up, and rebuilding or patching the work to put it into condition equal to new, or to maintain it in serviceable condition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Use Cement for Concrete Construction for Town and Farm: Including Formulas, Drawing and Specific Instruction to Enable the Reader to Construct Farm and Town Equipment; An Ideal Book for Agricultural Schools The author desires to mention here that in addition 'to claiming some special knowledge [on the many and varied uses of concrete, he also was raised on a farm and operates one at the present time. For that reason, pursuit of the engineering profession has never made him lose sight of a farmer's view point and needs, and in his own farming practice he has had many opportunities to prove the economy of concrete first and last. Also, long association with the Portland Cement Associa tion in the preparation of its many informative booklets on concrete has favored him with access-to material which other wise would not have been available to make this book as com prehensive and practical as it is felt has been done through this fortunate connection.
