Septic Tank For Sewage Disposal On The Farm, R. Patty Sep 1920

Septic Tank For Sewage Disposal On The Farm, R. Patty

SDSU Extension Circulars

The purpose of this little circular is to show the plan for constructing an efficient, and inexpensive septic tank for the disposal of sewage from the farm home. If properly installed this tank will need no attention whatever except the removal of the greater part of the sludge every three or four years. If a larger plan of the tank is desired, it may be obtained in blueprint form for five cents (to cover the cost of the blue print paper) by addressing the Extension Division of the South Dakota State College, Brookings, S. Dak.


A Servicable Farm Barn, R. Patty Aug 1920

A Servicable Farm Barn, R. Patty

SDSU Extension Circulars

There is a great demand for a plan of a general barn suitable for a South Dakota farm of from a quarter to a half section of land. Not only are old buildings being replaced but a very great number of larger tracts are being divided into separate farms and entire sets of new buildings are being erected. These facts, more than any others, probably account for the large number of requests received by the Extension Division for such a plan. The plan presented in this circular, we believe will best meet this need.


Farm Building Ventilation, R. Patty Apr 1920

Farm Building Ventilation, R. Patty

SDSU Extension Circulars

This circular is a reply to an ever increasing number of inquiries about the ventilation of farm buildings received by the Extension Division. The plans show how satisfactory homemade ventilating systems can be installed. Complete commercial systems may also be secured today that give good satisfaction.
