Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 1: Devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, and the Household Arts; July, 1841
Struck with these advantages, it occurred to us, that with this form Of house might be com bined a plan very highly recommended by Sir John Sinclair, in his Code of Agriculture. In Scotland, he says, it is common with the best managers to build their stacks Of hay around an Open pyramidical frame supported on a platform raised from the ground. By this means the hay is secured from the moisture of the earth, whilst, by means Of horizontal blocks on the side of the uprights, which support the platform, the ascent Of vermin may be prevented. The Open pyra mid, formed by perpendicular pieces Of timber, serves to admit the air into the centre of the stack, and prevent the heating, so much to be deprecated.
The engraving shows for itself how we have conceived the two plans might be usefully and economically united. We ask for the Objections, or approval, of more experienced agriculturists.
