Original Melhod of Courtsh1n,

SLIDING Doors FOR BARNS ONE
one sensibly observes that the advdn-
tages of sliding doors for barns are so
great that they should entirely super
sede the old fashioned sort which
swing on hinges. On the slide they
are more secure from breaking and
wrenching by violent winds, and are
easily opened for any distance in any
kind of weather. The supports cost
little more than hinges, but the extra
expense is more tfan compensated by
the greater durability, aside from the
saving in mateTial as Il sliding door
may be very slight. Those about
building or repairing barns will do
well to note and remember this sugges =
ton.
