From this the leak-age drips into the galvanized iron trough below and iscarried to the center of biiilding, where it empties intoa pipe which conveys it from the building. On the gal-vanized covering is placed another sot of sloping joistsof exactly the same dimensions as the other set alreadydescribed, but these have the wide end inside and thenarrow end outside. This brings up the line to a levelagain.

STOIUGE HOUSE FOR APPLES 361 A much cheaper house may be constructed on the samegeneral plan for the keeping of apples alone. In thefirst place a better and in some sections a cheaper stor-age room could be constructed under ground; say an exca-vation eight feet deep and walled up with rock, brick or. Fig. 354—PLA^ OF CONSTRUCTIOX any other material at hand. Upon this the structuremight be built essentially as described, except that theheavy posts and plates might be replaced with lighterones. The extra bracing to support the heavy weight of 362 BARN PLANS AND OUTBUILDINQS ice might be dispensed with unless it was desired to storea large quantity of ice, which, by the way, is not neces-sary to the successful operation of the house in thekeeping of apples. It has been demonstrated that one and one-half or twofeet of ice will reduce the temperature the same as whenthe house is filled full. A cheap house may be built onthe bank of a stream or pond, where it is not desirable tobuild the storage house in such a situation, and the icecan be very economically harvested. It should be re-membered that ice used in keeping winter apples must bekept through the entire summer before it can be used,hence it will be seen that there would be more expenseand waste
