 A shed to hold farm implements may not look as important as some of the other buildings. but it is neces- sary to prevent waste. The depreci- ation in the value of farm imple- ments and machinery is about 10 per cent per year under good care. When the machines are left to weather and rust in the rain and wind the loss is simply ruinous. More machinery is required on farms than formerly, and it is not a question whether a farmer can afford a machine shed or not; the only problem is to find out how to build it and how large to build it
 In the first place the implement shed should be big enough to hold all farm tools and it should be well built and tight enough 10 keep out the wind and small animals. including chickens.
 The plan shown herewith is 16 feet in width and 50 feet in length. The width is all right for any length shed. It may be built shorter and the length continued at any time if more room is needed. The doorways provide headrocm sufficient for the highest machines. and the width of the widest opening when the double doors are opened and the center post removed
