Ventilating ues is a fan 22 constituting a blower for setting up a forced draft in an upward direction. Additional outlet flues 23 can be extended through the Ventilating iiues 21 from points near the platforms 11 and sides of passageway 7.
All of the fans 22 along each side of the building can be driven by a single drive shaft 424 through gears 25 and 26, the latter gears 26 being secured to the shafts 27 of the fans. Shafts 24 can be operated'by a motor, not shown, or by any other suitable means whereby a forced ventilation can be set up whenever desired. The operation of these fans will cause heavy vitiated air to be lifted through ues 22 and 23, it being displaced by a supply of fresh air admitted through the flues 19. During the operation of the'fans the heavy air will not tend to escape through the passages 10 but, on the contrary, fresh air will be sucked through said passages. These passages act as outlets for vitiated air only when the fans are not in use and when the vitiated air is heavier than the fresh air.
Obviously by constructing the lower portion of the building in the manner described the livestock can be kept in a dry and healthy condi- The superstructure of the buildingv can be formed of sections which can be assembledsand bolted together. The `end section of one side w-all, which has been indicated generally at 28, is erected by setting up a corner post 29, one half 30 of va sidel post and horizontal and oblique connections 31 and 32 between these posts.
l The posts are, of course, fastened at their lower ends and are connected at their upper ends by the plate 33. Subsequently one half 34,I of an end purline post is erected and this too is joined to the corner post 29 by horizontal and Thereafter an end truss, indicated generally at 37, is fastened to one side ofthe member 34 ofthe purline post.
'Following the foregoing operation other side wall sections, indicated at 37', are erected on the lower side walls and are joined to each other and to the section 28 by lag screws or other fasteners. Intermediate purline posts 38 are erected in line with the post 34 and are joined to the sides of the sections 28 and 37 by girders 39 and braces 40 and 41. Lower rafters are erected on the posts 29, 30 and 38 as indicated at 43. The construction ofl the building asv described is continued until all of the Walls have been erected, the purline posts 38 being used for supporting the upper rafters 44 and their braces 45. The Ventilating fiues 21 are extended upwardly along either of the purline posts and between the rafters 44. It is toA be understood, of course, that openings can be located wherever desired, the wall sections of the building being closed with suitable sheathing, such as tongue and grooved boards.
The roofing can be of any desired type.
A superstructure' such as described can be assembled readilyl and will afford maximum rigidity for resisting wind pressures but can be made of lighter timbers than ordinarily would be required in order to obtain equivalent results.
What is claimed is: f In a building construction a floor slab having a relatively broad depressed portion constituting a passageway for cattle, said slab providing spaces at opposite sides of the passageway for the support of mangers, there being a gutter extending longitudinally of the passageway below and at the center thereof, laterally extending flues within the slab opening at their outer ends through the outer sides of the slab and at their inner ends through the respective walls of the passageway above the level of the gutter, and means for supplying fresh air above the slab for downward circulation into the passageway and outward through the fiues. f
