The building site should be so selectv
ed as to be within easy reach of the
other farm buildings, more especially
the horse barn and it should beloeati ,
ed on. a 'w'ell'drai'n'ed area, and prefer-
abiy facing to the south, particularly
if one side is to be left open.
there is the slightest tendency for

should be. laid under the building.
The machinery storage building

ly not expensive, or it can be gery

work shop, a paint shop, etc. it is
usually planned long and narrow, eith-
er open on one side or closed in with
doors. so- that a series of stalls
formed, this provides easy access to
any machine at any time. Each stall
will accommodate two or three
machines, but they can usually be ar-,
ranged in the stalls so that anyone can
be moved without moving more than
one or two machines. A second floor
built over part or all of the shed. pro-
vides handy storage for the many
small odds and ends around the farm.
The floor of the building may be eith-
er ground floor, gravel. board or con-
crete. Concrete, of course. is the most
permanent and satisfactory, but also
by far the most expensive. Dirt floor.
is entirely satisfactory if the land is
well drained. but such a floor is great-
ly improved by filling in 4 to 6 inches
with gravel, which raises the door
slightly above the outside levelland
thus keeps good and dry. A board
iloor is also somewhat expensive and '
the advantages of a board iloor over a
gravel iloor are hardly Worth the add:

shed, which of course, would cost
more money should at least have a

simply a shed to provide cover. and
no weight is to be supported as in the
case of hay storage barns 3r bulging
forces as in the case of grain storage
buildings. Bracing enough to .hold
the building against the wind is all
that is necessary. One point is essen-
tial and this is that the building be
anchored to the foundation, for if it
is not..due.to, its light construction,
it may be blown over by a strong wind;
it is especially desirable when build-
