64 HOW I MADE $10,000 IN ONE YEAR 



The Feed House 



The details of the feed house are hardly of importance. 

 This may be built according to taste and purse. Our 

 building is 16x40 feet, of which 16x20 is used for feed 

 storage. The floor is of concrete. Our close proximity 

 to source of supply makes it unnecessary to carry any 

 great quantity in storage. Where this is not the case it 

 will be necessary to have greater storage space. It might 

 be mentioned, in this connection, that we do not specu- 

 late in grains and feedstuffs ; we buy as we need. 



The Egg Room 



The egg room, just completed, may be of interest. It 

 is 16x17 feet and rests on a 5-inch wall of concrete. The 

 building runs north and south. On the northerly end an 

 excavation was made for a shallow cellar the width of 

 the building, 36 inches wide and 30 inches deep. The con- 

 crete foundation which extends all around the building 

 runs to the bottom of the excavation. The floor joists of 

 2x4, properly supported, run crosswise. An interval of 



3 feet is allowed over the cellar. The balance of the room 

 is floored with tongue and groove flooring. The cellar 

 covering is made of flooring in 3-foot lengths made into 



4 trap doors which can be lifted against the north wall 

 and held in place by looped wire catches. Filled cases 

 are set on the edge of the cellar way and can be easily 

 and conveniently lifted down or up. This arrangement 

 obviates the drudgery and labor of dragging the eggs up 

 and down cellar steps. Anyone who has been through it, 

 especially during wet weather, will readily understand 

 why we fought shy of the old scheme.
