RURAL ARCHITECTURE.

This plan is of a barn, complete and convenient in its arrangements, but the size of which can be varied to suit the requirements of the farmer building it. The roof is built one-half pitch, thus obtaining a large amount of room in the loft, and the collar beams are put only five feet below the ridge for the same purpose, and to insure strength the rafters are made of 2x6 stuff, and should be well bridged. The five cros3 siUs are under the five main divisions of the barn, and the long joists under the stable, reaching from the bins to the end of the barn, are to be supported by a 4x1, resting on posts. The ventilating shaft should be three feet square, made cf dimension boards with the dressed sides turned inward, and with openings at different heights for conducting hay or straw to the stable. This barn can be shortened by omitting either the corn crib, carriage room or hay-mow; if all are left out the drive-way could be used as a mow, and filled from the outside, thus making a fine 30x40 feet barn. The siding on the crib end should be laid horizontally, and each board given a slant from the top edge down and outward, thus protecting the corn from rain, and giving an aperture an inch wide for ventilation.
