For ordinary farm uses where hay and
grain are the staple crops a one-story
barn with q basement is the most desira-
BILE shape. And in the bay the open
space should extend from the roof to the
bottom of the basement. The entire
weight of grain or hay will press down
ward, making the mass ct the bottom
very solid. But for other uses more
flooring is often desirable. Seed growers
and those who handle tobacco REQUIRE a
succession OF floors with plenty of ven
hlation. The difficulty is in driving in
on the upper floors, but this is accom-
plished by building on q side hill anG
grading up. In a ehree-story barn long
enough for two floors, one wagon passage
may be run on the first floor and the pro,
duct be pitched upon the second. The
other may be built up to the second
floor, and this will enable products to
be drawn by team nearly to the roof.
These high buildings require only the
same roofing as lower ones, and afford
better ventilation. But one great draw
back to this form of building is danger
from fire. In country places it is diff
cult to throw streams of water to the
tops of high buildings, and when a fire
under such circumstances gets under
Roadway it is nearly impossible to save
anything. Even the basement barn is
objected to by owners of valuable stock.
for the cellar under a barn when the
latter is in flames is a death trap, which
no one who values his life dare enter
