For learning here toll and strive.
Whist the bright noon Is shining clear,

Listen, and whispered you shall hear,

Remember whilst am here,
Mid strangers, far away from thee,
And may you read these lines, my dear,
AS am thinking Of thee.

And Greek and Latin thrown aside,
Then will come az ain, my friend,
To claim thee for my own sweet bride.

A G RICULTU RAJ.
Barn Building.

We often see in some papers, cuts and
drawings for buildings. These usually re-
commend almost anything rather than econ
omy. Quirks and crooks are represented
as ornamental in the roofs as well as in
the walks.
These crooked ways are quite costly in
farm buildings, and particularly in the con-
struction of roofs. The first consideration
Ill building large barn is to see that it
shall turn off all the water that falls on the
roof. If the barn fails in this, it is no
better than u stack yard, where the larger
part of the hay may be well secured with
out barn.
The roof should be formed in the plain
est manner. Let there be no hip Joints
or triangular spaces to be covered with
boards and shingles, for the boards and
shingles all come in right angle form and
If you make hipped roofs or anything in
that form, you must cut up your lumber
to toconform, you waste large portion Of it.
Koots IN particular, should be square or
oblong, for modern shingles will not last
always, and good building may bear to
be shingled many times before it is too old
for use.
NO", oNciy IIhe Wlen q new set OF SHIN
giles Is put on, the same waste is made as
at first. Many of the shingles must be
cut into triangles to conform to the trian-
gular platform, and the loss in shingles
thus cut away must be added to the extra
labor of the carpenter. This is to be re-
Peated as often as the building is shin
gled. If nothing else about building is
to be plain and square, let the roof at
least be rectangular.
Fave troughs are useful when they are
set right But it too often happens that
they are worse than nothing Carpenters
seem to think they ought to be set level
with the plate of the barn or house. But
water Will not run well on a level, and the
cutters are filled with sudden Showers
The water runs over where there is no
pipe to convey it off, and does more mis-
chief than where there is no trough.
In the Winter season the trough is
filled with snow and ice, and storms come
In under the caves and over the plates,
doing much mischief inside Costly bull
dings in Boston are often made with such
cave troughs as these The builders
should see to this
