rods for 80 rods, Lots cannot always be
laid square, yet the nearer they come to a
square, the less will there be of fencing.
Barns are usually builtin an oblong form,
as matter of convenience. a very large
square barn would require too much length
Of rafter, and too heavy u roof. The nfters
should never have less than zone third descent,
as the carpenters call it, That is, they
should be two thirds the width of the build
ing. When that is 80 feet wide, the ridge
will be 10 feet higher than the beam. This
is often called zone third pitch, 10 feet
hish in building 80 feet wide-and so in
proportion.
This was the rule of descent 100 years ago,
rs we now see it in old buildings-but with
in so years, notion has extensively prevailed
that roofs more fat would cost less, while
they might turn water quite as well. But
this is a hlllacy, and we think that a majori-
ty of our builders are aware of it, and are
returning back to the 'old PITCH since tho
shingles last much longer, and turn water
better.
In harm building, the great room made in
the attic is not by any means lost, as it Of
ten is in houses. All the room is wanted,
high and low, and one great point is to have
this room handy that the hay maker shall
not be Obliged to pitch his load too far or
too high-ior he is always in a great hurry
in fair afternoon.
Therefore take care and not cut up too
much of the room into floor way, or driy1
way. The greatest fault in modern barns
the waste Of room in the floor way, or
drive way.
A barn 60 or so feet long, should not have
drive way lcngthwiso. Ii takes quite too
much room, and occaSlShs quite too much
pitching up of hay and grain. a floor way
across the barn, need not take half 50 much
room. In long barn, side doors may be 80
made us to let the hay in TO the large bays
and scaiIOlds more handlly than it can be
pitched up alOft from centre floor.
The barn should always bs set in the
southern slope ola hill, or rising ground.
Such can always be found near by; for no
man builds house in valley. When the
rise is not sufficient, it can easily be made so
where there is any gravel or loan. One side
Of each barn should always have bank to
form drive way into it, and along its side.
This bank is often made by digging cellar
under the whole barn-and cellar room,
open ON one side, is COED place to stow hay
always taking care that the hay shall not
lie ON the cellar bottom, nor against the side
wall.
One drive way across the barn, with n
good floor, is sufficient. Here the grain is
thrcshcd, and here all the corn may be
huskcd in the October evenings. a floor
way 10 feet wide will let in u cart or wagon,
and leave room to unload and back out.

Domestic Receipts.

HINTs TO HoUSHvWES.---VeSsels intended
10 contain liquid of higher temperature
than the surrounding medium, and to keep
that liquid as long us possible at the highest
temperature, should be constructed OF ma
terials which are the worst radiators OF heat.
Thus, tea.urns and tca-pots are best adapted
for their purpose when constructed oi polish
ed metal, and worst when constructed OF
black porcelain. A black porcelain teapot
is the worst conceivable material for that
vessel, for both its material and color are
good radiators of heat, and the liquid con-
tanned in il cools with the greatest possible
rapidity. On the other hand, n bright metal
teapot is best adapted for the purpose, be-
cause il is the worst radiator of heat, and
therefore coOls as slowly rs possible. y
polished silver or brass tca-urn is better
adapted 10 retain the heat of the water, than
one OF dull brown color, such rs is most
commonly used. A tin kettle retains the
heat of water boiled in il more eilectually il
it he kept clean and polished, than if it be
allowed to collect the smoke and SCOT to
which it is exposed from the action of the
fire. When coated with this, its surface be-
comes rough'lnd black, and is q powerful
radiator of heat. A set OF polished iire-irons
may remain for long time in front of n hot
fire, without receiving from it any increase OF
temperature beyond that of the chamber, be-
cause the beat rldiatcd by the fire, is all re-
flcctcd by the polished surface of the irons,
and none of 1t is absorbed; but If set of
rough, unpublished irons were similarly plac-
ed, they would become speedily so hot, that
they could not be used NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
