TAR lEp PAPER ROOFS.

DIrertioB6 for Putting Them on Farm
Houses and Barns
Much depends upon how the roof is
put on. II a crack or end Of the pa
per is so exposed that the wind can
get under the whole roof will be
ripped or torn up Another difficulty
is that if the house is a long one the
shrinkage and expansion some times
cause the roofs to crack. The best
mode of laying the roof is TO place the
paper on straight, mp and down. and
not roll it along the length Of the
roof First fasten the edges down
very close and tight. and carry the
paper mp over the peak and down the
other side, faSten the edge on that side
(using the tins that are made for the
purpose and sent with the paper) and
cut it of. Then fasten the outer edge
Of the side Of the paper in the same
manner. Now begin in the same man
ner, but let the second layer overlap
the first LAYER two inches, and batten
down both edges at once. The tin
caps must be close together. aud, as
stated. the edges must be so fastened
that no air can get under. The roof
NAV be peaked or il NAV be fiat, with
only sufficient elevation 10 cause the

all kinds whore tarred paper is used.
and il saves material. Putting on the
tar is the most important matter, for
with il all places that may permit the
wind to enter may be closed. Use
plenty of IT, and not try 10 be
economical. as the attempt TO
save little may render all
the work useless. Warm it so as to
permit Of it, being of consistency to
spread easily, and after the whole roof
is well tarrcd throw sand over H.
Here most persons end their work.
The secret Of good tarred paper roof
is to repeat the application Of tar as
soon as the first becomes hard. and
again it should be put on thickly. A
third application Of the tar will give
you a roof rs hard as tin. All that is
required after that time is TO give an
application Of tar once year. II pre-
ferred. lath strips NAV be used in place
Of the tin caps. but the latter are
neateT aud more attractive In appear
ance. The roof should be solid. rs the
paper must rest on boards. Smuggling
strips will not answer under the paper.
For the inside Of the house place the
paper in any manner preferred. and
use coal tar once or twice After II Is
dry and hard it becomes very smooth,
and may he whItewashed the same as

that will answer. and though not much
