AGRICULTURE.

CONCRETE WALLS UNDER OLD BARNS.
Many farmers, who desire to build
good stables, are deferred from doing
so because they think 1t necessary to
build a now barn for that purpose; and
in order to have a proper basement sta
bic, they seem to regard a side hill as
Indispensable. Now, both these ideas
are often mistaken. First, if the old
barn Is largo enough and Of the right
raised and a good concrete wall placed
as if under new barn, When the
wall Is to be LAID with stone by a mason,
in the ordinary way, the shores or block
ings arc very much in the way of fbuild-
ing the wall-requiring each blocking
to be filled in after. its removal, thus
making much moro work. But when
the wall is built with concrete, the mat
ter is very easy. Raise the barn to the
height desired (giving eight feet in the
clear for u stable); level it accurately
on the bookings; then place 3x4 scant-
lings plumb under tho centre Of the
sills (not In the way Of any window or
door), in sufficient number to hold the
building firmly in position; brace these
from the top and take out the bookings.
Now, there is nothing in the way Of a
shores, which will stand In the centre
Of the wall, and cannot injure it by rot
ting. The wall should be twelve Ia
ches thick, and to build it set standards
fifteen inches apart, in pairs, 80 that V
inch planks, placed between them
against each standard, will leave twelve
inches between the planks. The pairs
Of standards will be plumbed, so as to
bring the outside OF the wall even with
the outside edge Of the sill. These
standards and planks are carried around
the building. Only one tier of planks
Is required, and it is convenient to have
these fourteen inches wide. When this
box is filed with concrete, 1t will usu-
ally set hard enough while filling, SO
that the workmcn may commence at
the length first filled and raise it twelve
inches, leaving two inches la ped on
the first tier of the wall made, and each
length of blank IL raised in turn, and
refillcd with concrete-thus placed lay
or on layer until the wall Is completed.
When the last layer is to be placed un-
der the sill, raise the outside plank to
the top so that the concre,e can be
pushed against it, and the inside plank
may be lett down enough TO give room
for the introduction of the matter. 1t
can be tamped in solid under the sill,
so as to make complete wall with no
space left for air. The door frames are
made Of planks, with jambs as wide as
the wall Is thick. The door frames are
set up before the bookings are placed,
the box planks slide up on the edges Of
the door jambs. The window frames
are set up undor the sill, and the con-
crete fills up under and around them;
and the basement should be well light
ed. 1t is bad economy to save glass at
the expense Of liberal light. In a stable.
Sun light is as important to animals as
to vegetables.
