HOW TO MAKE 4 SOUND SHIN
GLE ROOF.

As / have something to do with the car
penter trade, / thought that | would give
some Of my ideas about that kind of work.
l have often noticed the roofs of buildings
that had some holes through them. The
question occurred to me to fnd oui what
the reason was that hole should come in
one place and not in another, and on exam
inatiou ! found the fault TO be in the LAYING
Of the shingles, and that nine-tenths Of the
mechanics make the same mistake in laying
shingles ! presume that some of nv old
friends will think that am a little green
to think of teaching them how TO do as
simple piece Of work as to lay shingle,
but perhaps shall give them new idea.
| nov ask any of them TO examine their
roofs, and see if they cannot find some Of
the very places that / shall describe. [
shall commence to describe the bad places
by taking four courses and numbering
them, No. ] is Eve shingles long. The
first and last shingle of the course are four
inches wide; the three middle shingles are
eight inches wide. This viii form the first
course. The next course is four shingles
eight inches vide. These cover the same
length and make No 2. No. 3 Is the same
as No l, and No. 4 as No 2. Now, many
at the first sight viii say We have good
roof and the joints well broke. But let
us examine little and see The second
course in the joint Of the third course is
but one thickness Of single through to
the roof-board, (and that, too, at the second
space OF the shingle, as a shingle is usually
divided into three spaces, and in process
of time the shingle will wear through and
leave hole through the roof while the
rest of the roof is good.
am aware that shingles are of various
widths, and do not come all in the form
that j have shown; but / take this way to
show how to find the bad places. | shall
now give my rule for laying shingles, and
how to avoid such bad places in roof, for
they occur in most Of roofs if the workmen
do not knew how to avoid them. You
must be careful not to make joint direct
ly over the joint of the second course be-
low the one you are laying or, in other
words TO break joints with the two last

FROST AS A MANURE.

We know of no treatment so directly
beneficial for almost every class of soils as
that of throwing up land in narrow ridges,
in the fall or early winter There are few
soils~worth cultivating al all, that do not
contain more or less materials which can
be made available 70 plants BY the cosnbin-
ed action of air aud frost.
Take two plots of heavy soil side By side,
and let one lie unmoved till spring, while
the other is deeply ploughed in autumn,
and he result viii be very. visible in the
spring crop. But the manner Of plowing
is important. To secure the greatest pos
sible advantage, single farrow should be
thrown up, and another back furrow direct
ly upon it, SO as to produce high ridge,
and another ridge is TO be made in the
same manner with deep dead-furrow be
tween the two The process is to be con
tinued thus through the field, 50 that when
finished, it viii present surface OF high
ridges and deep dead furrows, succeeding
each other, about once IN two Or two and
half feet If prepared in this way, the
frost will penetrate far downward, loosen
ing and disintegrating the soil below the
burrows, while the ridges will crunble
down, as they viii not hold water, the air
will circulate freely through them, decom-
posing the mineral portions, and convey
ing in the ammonia and other Sasses. This
operation viii be equal to ten o. more loads
of good manure, upon clay or compact soils
In the spring it win only be necessary
to run plough once or twice through the
centre of each ridge, and then level The
whole down with heavy harrow.
Another advantage in this process, i:
that when land is thus prepared, it drie:
out and warns several days earlier in the
Spring. Again, there are some soils that
are exhausted upon the surface, but which
contain poisonous substances in the sub-soil
IF this sub-soil is thrown up in contact
with air and frost during winter these poi

The above practice is especially to be
recommended in the garden One Of the
