are placed inside; they can be either
halved together Or simply placed with
ends butting up to each corner. On the
tops of these stills are spiked in regu-
lar courses six-inch wide PLANK two
and one-half inches thick, one-half the
ends of ono course projecting over tho
course next below it, as appears in the
foregoing sketch. This building up is
continued until the desired height is
reached; in ours it was carried up twenty
feet from the bottom Of sill to top of last
course, on which the rafters are placed
and all rooted in.
To build on this plan requires little
more lumber than to erect balloon
frame, and plank both the outside and
inside OF the same. But no frame build
ing can be put together that will resist
the pressure of inclosed contents, and
be as easily made airtight as one built
after this plan. Witness the immense
grain elevators that stand throughout
the Northwest, some of them holding
their millions of bushels of grain in
bins located away up hundred feet
from the bottom of their walls, which
are built up with inch boards placed fiat
sides together, one above the other.
The silo walls are lined on the inside
with tarred paper, over which one-inch
boards placed perpendicularly are
nailed, making perfectly alright wall.
If the builder had any fears Of frost en-
tering such wall, after lacking on the
building-paper let him nail on inch
strips to which to nail the inside boards.

is not TO postpone this matter until cold
