Concrete is valuable in farm construction for sanitary, durable, easy to clean floors in barns, poultry houses, granaries and other farm structures. For fruit and vegetable storage cellars, storm shelters, and other farm construction built partly or entirely underground, concrete is used because it does not rot or rust, and rates and mice can be kept away from food storage. This attractive, thorough treatise outlines all that a farmer would need to know about concrete usage in farm buildings, including cement asbestos roof shingles, cement gates, and cement chimney caps.
