There should be q lino Of feeding doors from

Tho stills and plates arc most tlmrly made
by cutting 2-inch lumber. ~ tho same width

fnuE,fcct long, according 10 the diameter of
Nic sllo. saving on tho bcycl determined by
the direction of tho radius OF tho circle; those

Where the rio does not exceed thirty feet
IN dipmotor : by studding gives ampio
strength, and IN no case a. II necessary to use
studdng larger than by o. The use of
the atuddlng Is 20 hold the lining and siding Ia
place and TO support tho roof. In tho roun,,
fllo tho strain from tho onslago Is sustained
by the lining and siding, each course acting rs
ahoop. Tue distance between the studdlng in
silos less than thirty feet IN diameter should
DO ono foot. In those over thirty feet tho s,ud-
ding may bc sixteen inches apart After tho
sills nro placed tho studding should 10 toe
nailed to them Just as In q balloon frame, and

After plumbing and staying the studdIng In
this direction. It may be- stayed IN an opposite
ono by sprinrlng l6-inch boards around ana

Tho llning should DO u k.inoh lumber, aud
may DO obtained by splitting fencing IA twu
| or by special order at the mills. Two thick
nesscs. with layer Of good tar paper between,
arc required, and tho two layers Of boards
should break Joints. Experience may show Il
best TO use three layers Of Ja-inCh lumber with
| two layert ~ tar paper between 10 secure per-
| feet cnsllage next tLr wall, but the additional
layer may be added at any time.
Tho Siding may consist O. two layers with
| paper between where the temperature Of win
ter demands them. When tho circle y les
| than thirty feet ls.lnoh lumber should b'
nGed, and the siding must be rabheied 10 lie al
shiplap doeb. ,CotnIaon house siding, rabbetcd
answers oytry purpose, and Is made 10 ordcl

| feet In diameter drop siding may DO used, thai
OF the shipiah tfro being most easily put On.
Tho mailing insids and out should be thor
| ough and in every stud. because tho boardi
act as ho0ps and the longthwiso strain come
upon the nails, Tor this reason also tho bonrd
| should DO made 70 break joints on tho stud
ding. For the inside lining, Il Is better to M
l0-penny nails for the last thickness 10 Us I,
draw the layers tightly together, and In nail
ing tho lining DO careful not 10 miss the stud
ding, as every nail hole thus formed Will ad
nit large amount Of air.
