Economy of the Round Dairy Barn

"Economy of the Round Dairy Barn" by Wilber J. Fraser is a book that makes a case for round dairy barns. It argues that these structures are better for dairy farms than the more common rectangular barns. The main idea is that building round barns can save farmers money and resources. The author goes into details about the amount of materials and the ways of building a round barn, pointing out that they need less lumber than rectangular barns of the same size, leading to significant savings, sometimes over half the materials, and includes examples and pictures to show how well these barns work in real life, trying to convince farmers to switch to this design.
