Excerpt from Prize Designs for Covered Homesteads, Adapted to Farms of 200 and 500 Acres: Together With an Introductory Essay on the Principles and Practical Management of Covered Homesteads In the year 1861, in consequence of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society having offered two Prizes for the best Plans for Farm Buildings, I was induced to prepare a design for a set of Farm Buildings adapted to a farm of 200 acres, and also a design adapted to a farm of 500 acres. To the former of these the prize was awarded, whilst the latter was "highly commended" by the judges. This difference in scale must be borne in mind, in comparing them with each other. A full specification accompanies each design, and a bill of quantities is added, which will enable any local tradesman to estimate the cost, in reference to the price of materials in the district. Under ordinarily favourable circumstances, the smaller design may be executed for about 1000l., and the larger one for about 2000l.
