The reason for this is that it is in the line of economy. Moreover, it is a great convenience to be able to drive through to clean out manure or for other purposes. There is also a free circulation of air through the basement when the windows are Opened on opposite sides, there being no wall or mow of hay to oppose the air currents. Modern hay-lifting machinery makes it as easy to lift the hay above the base ment as to drop it on the ground level.
