Ekblaw_ - - -A very fair indication of the thrift and general prosperity of a farmer -is the method he employs in caring for his tools. Shiftlessness, waste, -lack of energy, constant buying and heavy burdens of debt will accompany -poor care. Good care is an indication of shrewdness, business ability, -long-lived machinery, comfortable bank balances and the assurance of a -peaceful, prosperous future. - -To the progressive man, figures speak more forcibly than does the most -persuasive lecturer on economic topics. The report of the United States -Census for 1910 contains some figures that bear a distinct message to -the farmers of the country. In 1900 the value of all farm property in -the shape of farm implements and machinery was $749,775,970; in 1910 -this same value had increased to $1,265,149,783, representing an -increase of 68.7 per cent. This increase can be ascribed mainly to -increased quantity rather than to higher prices, for the increase in -price of farm machinery has been comparatively slight. It means that the -farmers are realizing the benefits to be derived from the use of -labor-saving machinery. In 1900 the acreage of improved land in farms -was 414,498,487; in 1910 this became 478,451,750, an increase of only -15.4 per cent. These figures may be a little more significant if -expressed in the following way: In 1900 there was $1.80 worth of -machinery for each acre of improved farm land; in 1910 this had -increased to $2.65, or an increase of over 47 per cent. - -These figures will immediately indicate an opportunity for the -furtherance of economic agriculture. With so much capital invested in -equipment, the American farmer would certainly be a very bad business -man indeed if he did not take some means of protecting this equipment -to reduce depreciation and to increase its length of life. The question -has sometimes been asked, does it pay to house farm machinery? Is it not -a better practice not to give any special care to the machinery but use -it as long as it will run without care then buy newer and more -up-to-date equipment? - -The situation bears some consideration. According to Census figures, the -average investment per farm in farm machinery is almost exactly $200. -This, however, is the case when every sort of farm is included, and -since the Census Bureau’s definition of a farm is extremely liberal it -would not be practical for our purposes. A fair estimate of the average -value of farm machinery on a farm is $1,000. No reliable figures are -available to indicate the rate of depreciation of farm machinery; one -farmer will take excellent care of his binder and it may do service for -twenty or twenty-five years, while another farmer will leave his binder -in the middle of the field where the last stalk of grain was cut, and it -would be surprising if his machine could operate satisfactorily for more -than five seasons. To take ten years as the average life of farm -machinery is certainly to be considered conservative. - -Most farm machines are well and substantially constructed and will -render satisfactory and efficient service with slight repairs for a much -longer term of years than the average which has just been given. It is -entirely safe to assume that the average length of efficient service can -be increased to fifteen years providing proper care is given. It is -almost equally safe to assume that the average life of uncared-for -machinery will not be much more than five years. - -The farmer who has a thousand dollars worth of machinery to which he -gives no care and attention will then have an annual reduction in value -of $200, besides his interest charge of $60 on his investment or a total -debit of $260. The farmer who properly houses his machinery will have an -annual deduction of $66.66 for depreciation and the same interest charge -of $60. He will have, in addition, an annual charge of $25 for interest -and depreciation on his building if it cost $250, or a total of $151.66, -which is $108.34 less than that of his improvident neighbor. The careful -farmer then may consider that he has in his implement house an -investment representing over $1,800 as shown by the saving it brings -him; as a simple implement shed can be built for $250, a net profit of -an interest-paying $1,550 remains. Putting the problem in another way, -on many farms the savings on machinery will pay for a shed in two or -three years. - -[Illustration: Fig. 3. Details of Simple Implement Shed - -Only one wide sliding door is shown, though another smaller door can be -inserted if desired. The truss construction shown in Fig. 10 is used -above the wide door. Either vertical or horizontal siding may be used, -the former being simple and satisfactory construction. The front wall -may be omitted in localities where inclement weather is uncommon.] - -[Illustration: Fig. 4. Exterior of Open Type of Implement Shed] - -[Illustration: Fig. 5. Perspective of Framing of Open Type of Implement -Shed] - -In view of the fact that the small tractor is becoming an extremely -popular source of farm power, special consideration should be given to -its shelter. The tractor is an implement that would be extremely likely -to be injured as a result of exposure to weather. It is entirely -possible that the damage which may be done to this one single machine in -one winter’s exposure may be sufficient to pay for the cost of a machine -shed which will house all the implements on the farm. - -So much for the economic side. The figures that have just been given -relate only to a very conservative case. On many farms the saving would -be a great deal more. Besides this there are other things of which the -value cannot be estimated, such as the benefit of having a machine that -will operate when it is called upon to do so; the added value an -implement shed gives to the farm; and the additional prestige which will -redound to the owner of the farm. - -The careful farmer will, of course, find that criticisms of -ill-cared-for machinery do not apply to him; he has a machine shed, and -knows the value of paint, oil, and grease in extending the life of -implements. His equipment always looks new, for as rust breaks through -the protecting coat of paint, a new coat is immediately applied; and his -plowshares, discs, cultivator shovels, and other bright parts of -implements are always given a thorough coating of grease before being -put away for the winter. As a result, his implements are ready for -business when spring comes and time is valuable. - - - - -THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING - - -In preparing the design for machine sheds one of the first -considerations is that of economy. A machine shed is a building which is -almost always used for no other purpose than to shelter machinery. It is -not like a bin for the storage of grain where strength is an exceedingly -important factor nor is it like a barn where so many operations are -carried on within; consequently the simplest and cheapest structure that -is consistent with reasonable durability is the one that is the most -advisable. Wood is a product available in every section and is the -cheapest and most suitable material for the construction of an implement -shed. - -[Illustration: Fig. 6. Details of Open Type of Implement Shed - -Framing of 6x6 posts, thoroughly braced. Ends may be boarded or left -open as desired. Foundation piers act as wheel guards. Width between -posts can be varied to suit requirements.] - -Paint, the great preservative, should be applied to all farm -buildings. The initial cost of two coats of good paint is not -prohibitive; the durability of the wood may be increased almost -indefinitely if the surface is kept covered to prevent the ingress of -the spores of decay. The prosperous farmer’s buildings are always kept -painted, not only to preserve the wood, but to improve the appearance of -the buildings themselves. - -On new wood, two coats are usually sufficient. The first coat should -contain mainly oil, with a small amount of the base and coloring -pigments, so that it will permeate every pore; the second coat should be -heavier, containing less oil and more pigment. Surfaces that have been -painted can be kept in good condition by the occasional application of a -single coat. - -The planning of an implement shed will require data as to the number and -size of machines and the amount of space that each will occupy. The -arrangement of the machines so as to make them easily accessible at -times when they are most needed is also important, e. g., a binder being -used but once a year may well occupy a far corner, leaving a space near -the door for the mower and plow, implements which are used oftener and -for longer periods than the binder. The manure spreader, wagons and -buggies are used so much throughout the year that they should be -especially accessible. Table I, pages 19 and 20, gives the floor space -required for most farm machines; the height of the machine is also -given. Of course, it is entirely possible to crowd machines together as -they are put into the shed, and so much saving in room can be -accomplished in this way that little clearance space need be left. For -instance, the outer edge of a binder platform can be easily raised -several feet, provided a pair of reel slats with the attached arms are -removed, and in this space beneath the platform can be stored such -implements as hand drill, walking plows, etc. Similar opportunities for -economy in space can very easily be found. - -[Illustration: Fig. 7. Exterior of Wide Enclosed Implement Shed] - -[Illustration: Fig. 8. Perspective of Framing of Wide Enclosed Implement -Shed] - -In general the construction of a machine shed is that of the very -simplest; yet utility and beauty can be very easily combined with -simplicity. Since the building is not subjected to any heavy load, as -would be the case with a crib or a barn, the framing is just -sufficiently strong to safely hold the wall and roof covering and to -prevent collapse of the building from wind or snow and ice loads. Very -often 2x4’s or 4x4’s constitute the studs or posts and no heavier stock -is used throughout the building. In wide sheds it may be found -necessary to use larger stuff and especially in the plate above the wide -doorway. A two-story machine shed will, of course, require heavier and -more substantial framing, but a two-story shed is comparatively rare. A -floor may or may not be used as the owner may desire. It is likely to -prove somewhat expensive in first cost and in maintenance, though for -convenience it is much to be desired, especially if any repair work is -to be done in the building. - -The roof may be of almost any style from the simple single pitch shed -roof to the modified shed roof or the ordinary double pitch gable roof. -It is desirable that the pitch should be not less than one-quarter in -order to get the greatest life out of the shingles, which are likely to -collect moisture and give shorter service where the pitch is quite flat. -The foundation of a machine shed will naturally not be designed for -great strength except in the case of a two-story structure, since the -only load which it has to support is that of the superstructure itself. -A footing 12 to 16 inches wide at the bottom and extending down a foot -or 15 inches into solid soil will support a building of this kind. -However, if a concrete floor is put in the building as is sometimes done -in the more expensive ones, it will be well to extend the foundation -wall and footing to a point below the frost line, which will vary from a -foot to three feet according to climate. - -Sills are usually not necessary in the simple framing of machine sheds. -The posts can be set directly upon foundation walls and fastened in any -one of many different ways that have been devised. Timbers are more -subject to decay at the ends than elsewhere, consequently it is -advisable to treat them at this point with a preservative such as -creosote. This will add greatly to the durability. The foundation wall -should be brought up some distance above the ground so as to further -protect the bottom timbers from moisture. This above-ground extension -must be omitted at doorways. - -[Illustration: Fig. 9. Details of a Wide Enclosed Implement Shed - -Strong framing is necessary to insure durability in this structure. -Members may be solid or built up. Details of one form of roof truss are -shown in Fig. 11. Note solid foundation. Doors may be located to suit -requirements.] - -One of the most serious problems in the design of a machine shed is the -insertion of doors. Wide doors are an absolute necessity, especially for -certain machines. An eight-foot door is large enough for the majority of -farm machines, even allowing the modern binder with its folding grain -dividers to enter in safety. The wide drill, the rake, and several other -implements require a much wider door than this and it may be necessary -to provide an opening 12 or even 14 feet wide. This leaves a long -unsupported section of the plate directly above the doorway. To keep -it and the roof from sagging, special provision must be made either by -putting in an exceptionally strong plate at this point, by building up a -small wooden truss, or by making a truss of wood and iron as shown in -the illustration. (Fig. 10.) - -The doors themselves should be very solidly and substantially made. It -is a matter of good practice to have as few doors as possible. In the -average machine shed one 8-foot door and one 12 or 14-foot door are -sufficient to meet requirements. A door wider than four feet should not -be swung on hinges under any circumstances, as it is sure to pull out -the hinges or to sag very badly. Sliding doors of good construction are -to be recommended in preference to hinged doors (Fig. 12). It is -entirely possible to make a good close-fitting door of this type and -there need never be any trouble in its operation. - -The use of other buildings for the storage of farm implements is not a -desirable procedure except in certain instances, such as keeping wagons -in the driveway of cribs, leaving the spreader at the end of an alleyway -of a barn for convenience in loading, etc. In general, other buildings -are much more expensive than a machine shed and those portions of them -devoted to the storage of farm implements could in most cases be more -profitably used, especially when the very small unit floor-space cost of -a machine shed is taken into consideration. Then, too, if a special -place is not provided for the implements, the farm animals may come in -contact with them, causing injury of the animals or damage to the -machines. - - - - -REPRESENTATIVE TYPES OF SHEDS - - -=The Simple Shed Type.= The needs of the average farm for a cheap, -easily built implement shed are met by this building. Illustrations of -this type of shed are shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. The framing consists of -6x6 posts set on a light 1:2½:5 mixture concrete foundation at intervals -of eight feet, the plate consisting of two 2x6’s. Short diagonal braces -can be set in underneath between the plate and the post in order to give -the plate further support. The rafters for a span of 18 feet should be -at least 2x6 and better 2x8, set not less than two feet apart on -centers. The wall covering may consist of vertical siding, either 10 or -12-inch boards, with the cracks covered by ogee battens. For horizontal -siding, studs are necessary; these should be 2x4’s, placed not over 3 -feet apart. Either drop-siding, German or novelty siding or ordinary -weather-boarding may be used satisfactorily, but the latter is somewhat -light for a building of this kind and would probably not be as durable -as the others mentioned. - -[Illustration: Fig. 10. Detail of Truss Over Large Doors in Implement -Shed] - -[Illustration: Fig. 11. Roof Truss Details - -The upper illustration (Fig. 10) shows a method of building a truss -above wide doors to prevent sagging of roof. It may be varied to suit -circumstances. - -The roof trusses shown in Fig. 11 suggest methods of framing for wide -sheds, as in Fig. 3 and Fig. 9.] - -The building may be entirely enclosed, having the doors on the high -side. The practice of enclosing the building entirely is generally to be -recommended, though sometimes for the sake of economy and convenience -and in localities where the winds are very constant in their direction, -it may be advisable to omit part of the exterior wall covering, leaving -one side open, this side being the one opposite to the direction from -which the prevailing winds come. - - -=The Open Shed Type.= Under some circumstances the open shed type of -building (shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 6) will be the more suitable. This is -especially true where wagons, racks and spreaders are used frequently. -The framing of the building consists simply of 6x6 posts set on concrete -piers at intervals of 9 feet. On these are set 2x6 rafters supporting a -double pitched gable roof. The building is opened on both sides but both -ends may be enclosed. - -This building is extremely convenient, although it does not give very -thorough protection to the machines. A wagon or spreader can be driven -directly through one of the bays and horses unhitched outside. With a -building 18 feet wide and eaves overhanging one foot, the implements -will be protected from all but driving rains, though sweeping snow will -have free access to the interior. The posts are placed nine feet apart -in order to provide sufficient room for driving a team through. It may -be possible to reduce this dimension to eight feet, or to increase it to -10 feet in case a three-horse team is to be driven through. The concrete -piers supporting the posts are made conical in shape, acting thus as -wheel guards to prevent the hubs of the wheels from striking the posts. - -One or more bays of the shed may be enclosed if desired to give adequate -shelter to machines, such as mowers, binders, etc., which would suffer -from exposure. Of course, the shed as well as the preceding one can be -built to any length desired, though a building more than four times as -long as it is wide will present a somewhat peculiar appearance on -account of the long, low roof line. - -[Illustration: Fig. 12. Construction Details - -These details apply in general to the implement shed plans. The girder -splice shown makes a firm, solid joint. If double hung sash are used, -standard window framing is employed, as shown. Wide doors are always -hung on a track; the detail shows weather strip at top, and bracket with -roller at bottom to keep door from swinging out.] - - -=The Wide Enclosed Type.= A better and a little more expensive type of -implement shed, yet one perhaps better suited to the average farm is -shown in Figs. 7, 8 and 9. This shed is made 26 feet in width and as -long as may be necessary, although a building 26x40 will usually be -found sufficiently large to house the machines on the average -general-purpose farm. The framing of this shed is a little more -substantial than in the types previously discussed, consisting of 6x6’s -with 4x6 plates. Should horizontal siding be used, it will naturally -follow that instead of using these posts, 2x4 studs will be employed as -previously described in the simple shed type on page thirteen. The -height of the walls should be not less than 10 feet, which with the -gable roof will make the building a little more attractive in appearance -than the one previously described. A span of 26 feet is almost too great -for the adequate support of the roof unless some device such as truss -bracing and purline is used to give the rafters additional stiffness. -(Fig. 11.) - -Experience has shown that the two widths--18 feet and 26 feet are -peculiarly adaptable to the dimensions of the various farm machines. -Using the 26-foot width, considerable opportunity is given for the -utilization of the floor space, since a wider floor area unsupported by -posts is available. As far as possible, interior posts should be -avoided, for they interfere very seriously in the placing and moving of -machinery. - - -=The Two-Story Type.= As stated before, the use of a two-story machine -shed is rather rare, for two reasons: First, the additional expense in -material and labor, and, Second, the difficulty of getting machines up -to the second floor. The only advantage that is gained is the doubling -of the floor space under the same roof. - -[Illustration: Fig. 13. Details of Two-Story Implement Shed - -The framing in this type of shed must be unusually strong and -substantial. The girders and, in fact, all framing members, may be -either solid or built up. A central post is necessary in each framing -unit.] - -The construction of the building (illustrated in Figs. 13, 14 and 15) -will necessarily be rather substantial. The framing may consist of 6x6 -posts and 4x6 girts, which should be securely joined in order to give -rigidity to the structure. The girts are located at vertical intervals -of not to exceed 5 feet, so as to afford good nailing for vertical -siding. If horizontal siding is used, the girts may be spaced wider, -say, one each at the top, bottom, and middle of the post, while 2x6 -studs are set in on which to nail the boards. Diagonal bracing is a -decided advantage. The building may be constructed either 18 or 26 feet -wide, and it is seldom that a building longer than 40 feet will be -necessary. The foundation should be much more substantial than in the -types previously described. It should extend well below the frost line -and be almost as strong as that used for barns. - -The second floor will be used for the storage of the lighter machines -such as small plows, harrows, drills and all the lighter tools which -make up the farmer’s equipment; while the first floor will be utilized -for the storage of the heavier machines such as binders, wagons, etc. -Getting the lighter machines up to the second floor may be accomplished -in one of two ways. An ordinary block and tackle can be utilized either -through an outside door in the gable of the roof or through a hole in -the floor in the interior of the building. If space is available the -construction of a rather steep runway outside the building and leading -to the second floor may be advantageous. This runway can be constructed -of rather light material, using a pair of 4x6’s for joists, and flooring -them with rough 2-inch stuff. An angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal -will make it possible to pull machines up the runway with only a small -amount of labor. This arrangement has been found to be superior to the -use of a hoist. It can be used to the best advantage when the shed is -located on the slope of a rather steep hill. - -TABLE I. - -Floor Space and Height of Space Required to House Common Farm -Implements. - - Floor Height - Space of Space - Implements-- in Feet in Feet - - Plows-- - Walking 8x3 3 - Sulky and horse gang (tongue off; add 10 ft. for - tongue) 8x6 4 - Engine gang 16x7 5 - - Harrows-- - Spike tooth, per section 5x5 2 - Spring tooth, per section 5x4 1½ - Single disc, 8 ft. with truck (tongue off) 6x9 4 - Double disc, 7 ft. with truck (tongue off) 8x8 4 - - Weeder-- - (Thills on) 13x8 4 - - Grain Drills-- - 12x7 (tongue off; add 10 ft. for tongue) 5x8 5 - 16x7 with press attachment (tongue off) 7x11 5 - - Rollers-- - Smooth 3x10 4½ - Corrugated, single (tongue off; add 10 ft. for tongue) 3x10 4 - Corrugated, double 4x8 4 - - Corn Planter-- - Two row (tongue off; add 10 ft. for tongue) 5½x6 3½ - - Cultivators-- - Walking, one horse 7x2 3½ - Riding, single row (tongue off; add 10 ft. for tongue) 8x5 4 - Riding, two row (tongue off; add 10 feet for tongue) 8x10 4 - Alfalfa (tongue off; add 10 ft. for tongue) 7x6 5 - - Mower-- - 6 ft.

It is helpful to review the outstanding features of the -present situation: - - Wood remains the most universal, most adaptable building material in - the world. - - The supply is ample for all requirements, and the kinds and grades - best suited for all purposes are obtainable everywhere. - - In cost it remains one of the cheapest materials. - - It is the lightest building material known, and the strongest, weight - for weight. - - Its qualities are known; it is easy to work; it can be cut and shaped - by any one into the myriad uses required for the shelter and comfort - of man. - - There is no material more beautiful in appearance, more susceptible to - artistic finish, nor which is as productive of sentiment and - satisfaction for home building. - - Wood is a non-conductor of heat,--cool in summer and warm in winter. - -The relative qualities of durability, serviceability and workability -should be considered in selecting wood for homes and farm buildings. -=Consult the local lumber dealer.= His knowledge and advice will assure -cheaper, more stable buildings. - -Except where naturally durable woods are available, a preservative -treatment will prove economical for timber exposed to moisture and -decay, as sills, basement flooring, fence posts; and in similar -situations. - - - Other Farm Bulletins. - - Other Bulletins in this series are upon: - - Dairy and General Purpose Barns - Ice Houses - Garages - Silos - Poultry Houses - Grain Storage Buildings - Farm Residences - Swine Houses - The Preservative Treatment of Farm Timbers - - Ask for those that will be helpful to you.

Shiftlessness, waste, lack of energy, constant buying -and heavy burdens of debt will accompany poor care. -Good care is an indication of shrewdness, business ability, -long-lived machinery, comfortable bank balances and the -assurance of a peaceful, prosperous future.</p> - -<p>To the progressive man, figures speak more forcibly -than does the most persuasive lecturer on economic topics. -The report of the United States Census for 1910 contains -some figures that bear a distinct message to the farmers of -the country. In 1900 the value of all farm property in the -shape of farm implements and machinery was $749,775,970; -in 1910 this same value had increased to $1,265,149,783, -representing an increase of 68.7 per cent. This increase can -be ascribed mainly to increased quantity rather than to -higher prices, for the increase in price of farm machinery has -been comparatively slight. It means that the farmers are -realizing the benefits to be derived from the use of labor-saving -machinery. In 1900 the acreage of improved land in -farms was 414,498,487; in 1910 this became 478,451,750, an -increase of only 15.4 per cent. These figures may be a little -more significant if expressed in the following way: In 1900 -there was $1.80 worth of machinery for each acre of improved -farm land; in 1910 this had increased to $2.65, or an -increase of over 47 per cent.</p> - -<p>These figures will immediately indicate an opportunity -for the furtherance of economic agriculture. With so much -capital invested in equipment, the American farmer would -certainly be a very bad business man indeed if he did not<span class="pagenum" id="Page4"></span> -take some means of protecting this equipment to reduce depreciation -and to increase its length of life. The question -has sometimes been asked, does it pay to house farm machinery? -Is it not a better practice not to give any special -care to the machinery but use it as long as it will run without -care then buy newer and more up-to-date equipment?</p> - -<p>The situation bears some consideration. According to -Census figures, the average investment per farm in farm machinery -is almost exactly $200. This, however, is the case -when every sort of farm is included, and since the Census -Bureau’s definition of a farm is extremely liberal it would -not be practical for our purposes. A fair estimate of the -average value of farm machinery on a farm is $1,000. No -reliable figures are available to indicate the rate of depreciation -of farm machinery; one farmer will take excellent care -of his binder and it may do service for twenty or twenty-five -years, while another farmer will leave his binder in the -middle of the field where the last stalk of grain was cut, and -it would be surprising if his machine could operate satisfactorily -for more than five seasons. To take ten years as the -average life of farm machinery is certainly to be considered -conservative.</p> - -<p>Most farm machines are well and substantially constructed -and will render satisfactory and efficient service -with slight repairs for a much longer term of years than the -average which has just been given. It is entirely safe to -assume that the average length of efficient service can be -increased to fifteen years providing proper care is given. It -is almost equally safe to assume that the average life of -uncared-for machinery will not be much more than five years.</p> - -<p>The farmer who has a thousand dollars worth of machinery -to which he gives no care and attention will then -have an annual reduction in value of $200, besides his interest -charge of $60 on his investment or a total debit of $260. The -farmer who properly houses his machinery will have an -annual deduction of $66.66 for depreciation and the same -interest charge of $60. He will have, in addition, an annual -charge of $25 for interest and depreciation on his building -if it cost $250, or a total of $151.66, which is $108.34 less than -that of his improvident neighbor. The careful farmer then -may consider that he has in his implement house an investment -representing over $1,800 as shown by the saving it -brings him; as a simple implement shed can be built for $250, -a net profit of an interest-paying $1,550 remains. Putting -the problem in another way, on many farms the savings on -machinery will pay for a shed in two or three years.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" id="Fig3"> -<img src="images/illo009.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="532" /> -<p class="caption">Fig. 3.

Perspective of Framing of Open Type of Implement Shed</p> -</div> - -<p>In view of the fact that the small tractor is becoming an -extremely popular source of farm power, special consideration -should be given to its shelter. The tractor is an implement -that would be extremely likely to be injured as a result -of exposure to weather.

The figures that have -just been given relate only to a very conservative case. On -many farms the saving would be a great deal more. Besides -this there are other things of which the value cannot be estimated, -such as the benefit of having a machine that will -operate when it is called upon to do so; the added value an -implement shed gives to the farm; and the additional prestige -which will redound to the owner of the farm.</p> - -<p>The careful farmer will, of course, find that criticisms of -ill-cared-for machinery do not apply to him; he has a machine -shed, and knows the value of paint, oil, and grease in extending -the life of implements. His equipment always looks -new, for as rust breaks through the protecting coat of paint, -a new coat is immediately applied; and his plowshares, discs, -cultivator shovels, and other bright parts of implements are -always given a thorough coating of grease before being put -away for the winter. As a result, his implements are ready -for business when spring comes and time is valuable.</p> - -<h2>THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING</h2> - -<p>In preparing the design for machine sheds one of the -first considerations is that of economy. A machine shed is -a building which is almost always used for no other purpose -than to shelter machinery. It is not like a bin for the storage -of grain where strength is an exceedingly important factor -nor is it like a barn where so many operations are carried on -within; consequently the simplest and cheapest structure -that is consistent with reasonable durability is the one that -is the most advisable. Wood is a product available in every -section and is the cheapest and most suitable material for -the construction of an implement shed.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" id="Fig6"> -<img src="images/illo012.jpg" alt="" width="588" height="600" /> -<p class="caption">Fig. 6. Details of Open Type of Implement Shed</p> - -<p class="captionjust">Framing of 6x6 posts, thoroughly braced. Ends may be boarded or left -open as desired. Foundation piers act as wheel guards. Width between posts -can be varied to suit requirements.</p> -</div> - -<p>Paint, the great preservative, should be applied to all<span class="pagenum"><a -name="Page_8" id="Page_8"></a><br /><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9"></a></span> -farm buildings. The initial cost of two coats of good paint -is not prohibitive; the durability of the wood may be increased -almost indefinitely if the surface is kept covered to -prevent the ingress of the spores of decay. The prosperous -farmer’s buildings are always kept painted, not only to preserve -the wood, but to improve the appearance of the buildings -themselves.</p> - -<p>On new wood, two coats are usually sufficient. The first -coat should contain mainly oil, with a small amount of the -base and coloring pigments, so that it will permeate every -pore; the second coat should be heavier, containing less oil -and more pigment. Surfaces that have been painted can be -kept in good condition by the occasional application of a -single coat.</p> - -<p>The planning of an implement shed will require data as -to the number and size of machines and the amount of space -that each will occupy. The arrangement of the machines -so as to make them easily accessible at times when they are -most needed is also important, e. g., a binder being used but -once a year may well occupy a far corner, leaving a space -near the door for the mower and plow, implements which -are used oftener and for longer periods than the binder. The -manure spreader, wagons and buggies are used so much -throughout the year that they should be especially accessible. -<a href="#Table1">Table I</a>, pages 19 and 20, gives the floor space required -for most farm machines; the height of the machine -is also given. Of course, it is entirely possible to crowd -machines together as they are put into the shed, and so much -saving in room can be accomplished in this way that little -clearance space need be left. For instance, the outer edge -of a binder platform can be easily raised several feet, provided -a pair of reel slats with the attached arms are removed, -and in this space beneath the platform can be stored such -implements as hand drill, walking plows, etc. Similar opportunities -for economy in space can very easily be found.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" id="Fig7"> -<img src="images/illo014a.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="284" /> -<p class="caption">Fig. 7.

Perspective of Framing of Wide Enclosed Implement Shed</p> -</div> - -<p>In general the construction of a machine shed is that of -the very simplest; yet utility and beauty can be very easily -combined with simplicity. Since the building is not subjected -to any heavy load, as would be the case with a crib or a -barn, the framing is just sufficiently strong to safely hold the -wall and roof covering and to prevent collapse of the building -from wind or snow and ice loads. Very often 2x4’s or 4x4’s -constitute the studs or posts and no heavier stock is used -throughout the building. In wide sheds it may be found<span class="pagenum"><a -name="Page_10" id="Page_10"></a><br /><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11"></a></span> -necessary to use larger stuff and especially in the plate above -the wide doorway. A two-story machine shed will, of course, -require heavier and more substantial framing, but a two-story -shed is comparatively rare. A floor may or may not -be used as the owner may desire. It is likely to prove somewhat -expensive in first cost and in maintenance, though for -convenience it is much to be desired, especially if any repair -work is to be done in the building.</p> - -<p>The roof may be of almost any style from the simple -single pitch shed roof to the modified shed roof or the -ordinary double pitch gable roof. It is desirable that the -pitch should be not less than one-quarter in order to get the -greatest life out of the shingles, which are likely to collect -moisture and give shorter service where the pitch is quite -flat. The foundation of a machine shed will naturally not be -designed for great strength except in the case of a two-story -structure, since the only load which it has to support is that -of the superstructure itself. A footing 12 to 16 inches wide -at the bottom and extending down a foot or 15 inches into -solid soil will support a building of this kind. However, -if a concrete floor is put in the building as is sometimes -done in the more expensive ones, it will be well to extend -the foundation wall and footing to a point below the frost -line, which will vary from a foot to three feet according to -climate.</p> - -<p>Sills are usually not necessary in the simple framing of -machine sheds. The posts can be set directly upon foundation -walls and fastened in any one of many different ways -that have been devised. Timbers are more subject to decay -at the ends than elsewhere, consequently it is advisable to -treat them at this point with a preservative such as creosote. -This will add greatly to the durability. The foundation wall -should be brought up some distance above the ground so as -to further protect the bottom timbers from moisture. This -above-ground extension must be omitted at doorways.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" id="Fig9"> -<img src="images/illo016.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="480" /> -<p class="caption">Fig. 9. Details of a Wide Enclosed Implement Shed</p> - -<p class="captionjust">Strong framing is necessary to insure durability in this structure. Members -may be solid or built up. Details of one form of roof truss are shown in -<a href="#Fig11">Fig. 11</a>. Note solid foundation. Doors may be located to suit requirements.</p> -</div> - -<p>One of the most serious problems in the design of a -machine shed is the insertion of doors. Wide doors are an -absolute necessity, especially for certain machines. An -eight-foot door is large enough for the majority of farm -machines, even allowing the modern binder with its folding -grain dividers to enter in safety. The wide drill, the rake, -and several other implements require a much wider door than -this and it may be necessary to provide an opening 12 or -even 14 feet wide. This leaves a long unsupported section<span class="pagenum"><a -name="Page_12" id="Page_12"></a><br /><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13"></a></span> -of the plate directly above the doorway. To keep it and the -roof from sagging, special provision must be made either by -putting in an exceptionally strong plate at this point, by -building up a small wooden truss, or by making a truss of -wood and iron as shown in the illustration. (<a href="#Fig10">Fig. 10</a>.)</p> - -<p>The doors themselves should be very solidly and substantially -made. It is a matter of good practice to have as -few doors as possible. In the average machine shed one -8-foot door and one 12 or 14-foot door are sufficient to meet -requirements. A door wider than four feet should not be -swung on hinges under any circumstances, as it is sure -to pull out the hinges or to sag very badly. Sliding doors of -good construction are to be recommended in preference to -hinged doors (<a href="#Fig12">Fig. 12</a>). It is entirely possible to make a -good close-fitting door of this type and there need never be -any trouble in its operation.</p> - -<p>The use of other buildings for the storage of farm implements -is not a desirable procedure except in certain instances, -such as keeping wagons in the driveway of cribs, leaving -the spreader at the end of an alleyway of a barn for convenience -in loading, etc. In general, other buildings are -much more expensive than a machine shed and those portions -of them devoted to the storage of farm implements -could in most cases be more profitably used, especially when -the very small unit floor-space cost of a machine shed is taken -into consideration. Then, too, if a special place is not provided -for the implements, the farm animals may come in -contact with them, causing injury of the animals or damage -to the machines.</p> - -<h2>REPRESENTATIVE TYPES OF SHEDS</h2> - -<h3>The Simple Shed Type.</h3> - -<p class="noindent">The needs of the average farm -for a cheap, easily built implement shed are met by this building. -Illustrations of this type of shed are shown in <a href="#Fig1">Figs. 1</a>, <a href="#Fig2">2</a> -and <a href="#Fig3">3</a>. The framing consists of 6x6 posts set on a light -1:2½:5 mixture concrete foundation at intervals of eight -feet, the plate consisting of two 2x6’s. Short diagonal braces -can be set in underneath between the plate and the post in order -to give the plate further support. The rafters for a span -of 18 feet should be at least 2x6 and better 2x8, set not less -than two feet apart on centers. The wall covering may consist -of vertical siding, either 10 or 12-inch boards, with the -cracks covered by ogee battens. For horizontal siding,<span class="pagenum"><a -name="Page_14" id="Page_14"></a><br /><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15"></a></span> -studs are necessary; these should be 2x4’s, placed not over 3 -feet apart. Either drop-siding, German or novelty siding or -ordinary weather-boarding may be used satisfactorily, but -the latter is somewhat light for a building of this kind and -would probably not be as durable as the others mentioned.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" id="Fig10"> -<img src="images/illo018a.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="194" /> -<p class="caption">Fig. 10.

Roof Truss Details</p> - -<p class="captionjust">The upper illustration (<a href="#Fig10">Fig. 10</a>) shows a method of building a truss above -wide doors to prevent sagging of roof. It may be varied to suit circumstances.</p> - -<p class="captionjust up1">The roof trusses shown in <a href="#Fig11">Fig. 11</a> suggest methods of framing for wide -sheds, as in <a href="#Fig3">Fig. 3</a> and <a href="#Fig9">Fig. 9</a>.</p> -</div> - -<p>The building may be entirely enclosed, having the doors -on the high side. The practice of enclosing the building -entirely is generally to be recommended, though sometimes -for the sake of economy and convenience and in localities -where the winds are very constant in their direction, it may -be advisable to omit part of the exterior wall covering, leaving -one side open, this side being the one opposite to the -direction from which the prevailing winds come.</p> - -<h3>The Open Shed Type.</h3> - -<p class="noindent">Under some circumstances the -open shed type of building (shown in <a href="#Fig4">Figs. 4</a>, <a href="#Fig5">5</a> and <a href="#Fig6">6</a>) will be -the more suitable. This is especially true where wagons, -racks and spreaders are used frequently. The framing of the -building consists simply of 6x6 posts set on concrete piers at -intervals of 9 feet. On these are set 2x6 rafters supporting -a double pitched gable roof. The building is opened on -both sides but both ends may be enclosed.</p> - -<p>This building is extremely convenient, although it does -not give very thorough protection to the machines. A -wagon or spreader can be driven directly through one of -the bays and horses unhitched outside. With a building 18 -feet wide and eaves overhanging one foot, the implements -will be protected from all but driving rains, though sweeping -snow will have free access to the interior. The posts are -placed nine feet apart in order to provide sufficient room -for driving a team through. It may be possible to reduce -this dimension to eight feet, or to increase it to 10 feet in -case a three-horse team is to be driven through. The concrete -piers supporting the posts are made conical in shape, -acting thus as wheel guards to prevent the hubs of the -wheels from striking the posts.</p> - -<p>One or more bays of the shed may be enclosed if desired -to give adequate shelter to machines, such as mowers, binders, -etc., which would suffer from exposure. Of course, the -shed as well as the preceding one can be built to any length -desired, though a building more than four times as long as -it is wide will present a somewhat peculiar appearance on -account of the long, low roof line.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" id="Fig12"> -<img src="images/illo020a.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="413" /> -</div> - -<div class="figcenter"> -<img src="images/illo020b.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="574" /> -<p class="caption">Fig. 12. Construction Details</p> - -<p class="captionjust">These details apply in general to the implement shed plans. The girder -splice shown makes a firm, solid joint. If double hung sash are used, standard -window framing is employed, as shown. Wide doors are always hung on a -track; the detail shows weather strip at top, and bracket with roller at bottom -to keep door from swinging out.</p> -</div> - -<h3>The Wide Enclosed Type.</h3> - -<p class="noindent">A better and a little more -expensive type of implement shed, yet one perhaps better -suited to the average farm is shown in <a href="#Fig7">Figs. 7</a>, <a href="#Fig8">8</a> and <a href="#Fig9">9</a>. This -shed is made 26 feet in width and as long as may be necessary, -although a building 26x40 will usually be found sufficiently -large to house the machines on the average general-purpose -farm. The framing of this shed is a little more substantial -than in the types previously discussed, consisting of -6x6’s with 4x6 plates. Should horizontal siding be used, -it will naturally follow that instead of using these posts, 2x4 -studs will be employed as previously described in the simple -shed type on page thirteen. The height of the walls should -be not less than 10 feet, which with the gable roof will make -the building a little more attractive in appearance than the -one previously described. A span of 26 feet is almost too -great for the adequate support of the roof unless some device -such as truss bracing and purline is used to give the rafters -additional stiffness. (<a href="#Fig11">Fig. 11</a>.)</p> - -<p>Experience has shown that the two widths—18 feet and -26 feet are peculiarly adaptable to the dimensions of the -various farm machines. Using the 26-foot width, considerable -opportunity is given for the utilization of the floor space, -since a wider floor area unsupported by posts is available. -As far as possible, interior posts should be avoided, for -they interfere very seriously in the placing and moving of -machinery.</p> - -<h3>The Two-Story Type.</h3> - -<p class="noindent">As stated before, the use of a -two-story machine shed is rather rare, for two reasons: First, -the additional expense in material and labor, and, Second, -the difficulty of getting machines up to the second floor. -The only advantage that is gained is the doubling of the -floor space under the same roof.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" id="Fig13"> -<img src="images/illo022.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="559" /> -<p class="caption">Fig. 13. Details of Two-Story Implement Shed</p> - -<p class="captionjust">The framing in this type of shed must be unusually strong and substantial. -The girders and, in fact, all framing members, may be either solid or built up. -A central post is necessary in each framing unit.</p> -</div> - -<p>The construction of the building (illustrated in <a href="#Fig13">Figs. 13</a>, -<a href="#Fig14">14</a> and <a href="#Fig15">15</a>) will necessarily be rather substantial. The framing -may consist of 6x6 posts and 4x6 girts, which should be -securely joined in order to give rigidity to the structure. -The girts are located at vertical intervals of not to exceed -5 feet, so as to afford good nailing for vertical siding. If -horizontal siding is used, the girts may be spaced wider, -say, one each at the top, bottom, and middle of the post, while -2x6 studs are set in on which to nail the boards. Diagonal -bracing is a decided advantage. The building may be constructed -either 18 or 26 feet wide, and it is seldom that a<span class="pagenum"><a -name="Page_18" id="Page_18"></a><br /><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19"></a></span> -building longer than 40 feet will be necessary. The foundation -should be much more substantial than in the types -previously described. It should extend well below the frost -line and be almost as strong as that used for barns.</p> - -<p>The second floor will be used for the storage of the -lighter machines such as small plows, harrows, drills and all -the lighter tools which make up the farmer’s equipment; -while the first floor will be utilized for the storage of the -heavier machines such as binders, wagons, etc. Getting the -lighter machines up to the second floor may be accomplished -in one of two ways. An ordinary block and tackle can be -utilized either through an outside door in the gable of the -roof or through a hole in the floor in the interior of the -building. If space is available the construction of a rather -steep runway outside the building and leading to the second -floor may be advantageous. This runway can be constructed -of rather light material, using a pair of 4x6’s for joists, and -flooring them with rough 2-inch stuff. An angle of 30 degrees -with the horizontal will make it possible to pull -machines up the runway with only a small amount of labor. -This arrangement has been found to be superior to the use -of a hoist. It can be used to the best advantage when the -shed is located on the slope of a rather steep hill.</p> - -<hr class="sect" /> - -<p class="center highline" id="Table1"><b>TABLE I.</b></p> - -<p class="center"><b>Floor Space and Height of Space Required to House Common Farm Implements.</b></p> - -<table class="fsize90" summary="Table 1"> - -<tr> -<th class="left bot padl6">Implements—</th> -<th colspan="2" class="center top padl1 padr1">Floor<br />Space in<br />Feet</th> -<th colspan="2" class="center top padl1 padr1">Height of<br />Space in<br />Feet</th> -</tr> - -<tr> -<td colspan="5" class="left top">Plows—</td> -</tr> - -<tr> -<td class="left top padl2">Walking</td> -<td class="right bot padr0">8x3</td> -<td class="left bot padl0"> </td> -<td class="right bot padr0">3</td> -<td class="left bot padl0"> </td> -</tr> - -<tr> -<td class="left top padl2">Sulky and horse gang (tongue off;
