( About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detaile...)
About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detailed descriptions of a person's life. A biography is more than simply the basic facts, like education, work, relationships, and death. It portrays a person's experience of major life events. A biography presents a subject's life story, emphasizing certain aspects of his or her life, and including intimate details of their experiences, which may include an analysis of their personality. Biographical works are generally non-fiction, but fictional works can also be used to portray a person's life. An in-depth form of biographical coverage is referred to as legacy writing. An authorized biography refers to a book written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of the subject or the subject's heirs. An autobiography, on the other hand, is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or “ghostwriter”.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

First published in 1852, this classic volume reads like the advice of a wise, experienced and rather fussy old uncle. Lewis Allen was, in fact, the "rich uncle" that got Grover Cleveland, his nephew who lived with him for a while, into the legal career which led Cleveland to become the 22nd President of the United States. Allen offers advice on every step of building a home in the country, from the choice of the land to the construction of a home and useful outbuildings upon it. From simple to complex, his designs include interior layouts and opinions on exterior embellishments, and includes his advice and opinions on everything from cellars to the ventilation of houses. Appreciating the aesthetics of a home in the country, suggestions are given for exterior color selection as well as the planting trees, orchards and gardens. Plans are also given for for bee houses, chicken coops, dovecotes, rabbit housing, barns and dairy houses, ice-houses, smokehouses and granaries. There is even a design for a water ram - a non-electric water pump. Warming to his subject, he finishes his book with advice on livestock and his opinions on dogs.

(Excerpt from History of the Short-Horn Cattle: Their Orig...)
Excerpt from History of the Short-Horn Cattle: Their Origin, Progress and Present Condition This book has cost me much labor. The material from which it has been drawn was difficult to obtain - much more than those not conversant with the subject would imagine - and many years have elapsed in its gathering. Short-horn cattle history, in a connected form, has never existed since the race has been known, and it is only through the scraps and desultory notes made from time to time by different breeders and occasional writers within the past seventy years that we learn anything with certainty, and then in such disconnected fragments that the toil of dissecting, arranging, and putting them together understandingly has been most perplexing and difficult. Still, the work, such as it is, has been accomplished; and that a volume of this character is needed by the Short-horn breeders, of America, and other countries where the race exists, must be evident to every intelligent breeder. Many of the various writings relating to Short-horns, their breeding and progress, scattered through the agricultural publications of the day, both in Great Britain and America are of decided value; but portions of them have been intermixed with such partisan feeling, and sometimes so inaccurate in statement as to yield little of correct information to those who wish to arrive at the real truth of Short-horn history. The mass of cattle breeders have not been of the class addicted to scholastic pursuits, although they knew many facts, valuable and important.

Lewis Falley Allen was born on January 1, 1800 in Westfield, Massachussets, United States. He was the son of Samuel and Ruth (Falley) Allen, and brother of Anthony Benezet Allen and Richard L. Allen.
Allen received most of his formal education at the academy in his hometown.
Allen tried his fortune in New York City, Norwich, Connecticut, and Sandusky, Ohio, but later moved to Buffalo, New York. His chief life-work was as a breeder and improver of cattle. He founded and for forty years was the editor of the American Shorthorn Herdbook. With his brother, A. B. Allen, he was connected with the American Agriculturist from its origin. A voluminous writer, contributing frequently to the Genesee Farmer, Country Gentleman, American Farmer, and other journals, he still found time to write Rural Architecture (1852), American Cattle (1868), and History of the Shorthorn Cattle (1872), besides serving in the New York legislature and as president of the New York State Agricultural Society. He owned 600-acre farm and the neighboring settlements on Grand Island in the Niagara River.
While in the legislature of his state, he was active in furthering the interests of agriculture and particularly in the construction and maintenance of canals as a means of transporting farm products to market. Even these many-sided activities failed to absorb all of his time and strength, for he was constantly busy with the civic affairs of Buffalo, with which his interests became more and more closely identified during his long participation in its history.
At the time of his death he was engaged in a controversy with an Ohio admirer of Shorthorns who had taken Allen to task for proving false to his first love for Shorthorns and bestowing too much praise on Guernseys. But he stoutly maintained that, though fourscore and nine years were creeping upon him, he was still able to judge of merit in cattle and that the Guernseys were a coming milk breed. And he was still working on agricultural architecture, plans for farm buildings and for landscaping the grounds about farm homesteads, the treatment of clay land meadows, the place of dogs and bees on farms, and the construction of farm fences.
Allen is best known as a prolific author and establisher of the American Shorthorn Herdbook. His 600-acre farm and the neighboring settlements on Grand Island in the Niagara River became the center not only of breeding operations with Shorthorn and Devon cattle and Southdown sheep, but also of experiments in cooperative human societies, some of the results of these studies being recorded in his paper on the "Founding of the City of Ararat. " Allen Street and Allentown in Buffalo were named after him.

Allen was an original Whig, and later became a pronounced Republican from the formation of the party.
Allen was the president of the New York State Agricultural Society.
Allen was described as a strong, frank, and positive character, of keen wit and generous sentiment. Among his intimate friends he counted Daniel Webster, General Winfield Scott, and Henry Clay, all of whom were frequent guests at his home.
In 1825 Allen married Margaret Cleveland, the daughter of William and Margaret (Falley) Cleveland, and aunt of President Grover Cleveland. The couple had two children.
