Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Hog Shelters and Equipment for Southern States The plans shown in this handbook are generally adapted to conditions in the Southern States. A few designs, however, may not be suitable for particular parts of the region without some modification. Climatic conditions differ in various parts of the South. Although very cold weather is not usually a serious considera tion in the South, some snow and freezing weather may be expected in the northern part of the region and will have an effect on roof loads and on the depth of foundations. Wind loads are an important consideration, especially in those areas subject to hurricanes, and will affect the size and fastening of framing members, and the fastening of sills and posts to foundation walls and piers, especially of larger structures. Soil conditions and rainfall should also be considered in planning foundations. Before selecting a plan the prospective builder should consult his county agricultural agent. The county agent can help select the plan and recommend any modifications that may be necessary, owing to local climatic conditions or other factors. Many States have additional plan's not shown in this publication. The county agent can also give information about such plans and about bulletins and other material on building construction. Special drawings to meet individual needs are not ordinarily furnished by the agricultural colleges, although some States provide this service in special cases.
