This is part of the Google books project to scan everything in print. This is a classic home construction book initially done by the Dept. of Agriculture and long in the public domain. I have a Dover reprint from the 1970's.

The book has good solid information on standard traditional wood frame construction with lots of helpful hand drafted diagrams. This book can be searched.
