FKUIT STORAGE 155 



Large double door openings in each end — large enough 

 to admit a team and wagon — are protected only by 

 sliding doors of single thickness. There are four two- 

 sash windows on either side. 



The house is 26 x 65 feet, with 15-foot studs and 

 a ' ' quarter pitch ' ' shingled roof. The total cost was 

 about $400. 



Only the lower story has ever been used for stor- 

 age. This will hold something over one thousand 

 barrels of apples when full. The second story is used 

 as a cooper shop, and for the storage of barrels, spray- 

 ing apparatus, etc. 



XVI. DKSIGN FOR SIMPLE LEAN-TO STORAGE 



This design is intended to meet the requirements 

 of the grower who has the smallest possible quantity 

 of fruit to store. It will accommodate one hundred 

 barrels of apples when full, but of course can be used 

 equally as well for grapes, plums, or pears. It is to 

 be constructed in the simplest and cheapest possible 

 manner consistent with efficienc}-. It is to be built 

 as a lean-to on the north side of some barn or granary 

 already standing. 



The dimensions inside are as follows: Length, 20 

 feet; breadth, 10 feet; hight, 8 feet. The rafters may 

 be of 2 X 4 stuff. The roof should be shingled on top 

 of two layers of inch boards, with building paper be- 

 tween. On the under side of the rafters there should 

 also be a ceiling of well-matched lumber, with a layer 

 of building paper inside. The studs may also be of 

 2x4. Outside they should have a layer of inch pine 

 boards carefully laid, a double coating of building
