PLAN OF BARN FRAME

door. A team and wagon is able to be
turned at any spot.
Not only is barn constructed III
this way more convenient, but also
stronger. A frame made on the square
basis is more apt to give to one SIDE
Surprising we wanted to prop up some
thing heavy, say a saWlog, We would
not put square under it, but a tri-
angle. The slant purline posts serve
the same purpose as do the slant ends
of bridge We read a great deal OF
barns blowing down or being broken
down by snow. The storms are becom-
ing more and more severe as the for
ests are cut down, and the thinner the
forests the weaker the timber used;
thus we want to give each foot OF lum-
Der it's proper place, where 1t has the
greatest opportunity to resist PRESSURE
and also place timber where it is most
needed. The times are past when OAK,
pine and beach logs two feet in diam
eter and 80 or 40 feet long were used.
THE timber used in this plan is 1Ox10
throughout the whole frame. The end
posts A B are Is feet long; the bottoms
of these are framed into the ends OF
CD E; the purline posts are 80 feet long,
and are slightly grooved in c. to prevent
them from slipping at the bottom. 1t is
necessary that c be one long log, or II
| in two pieces they must be well joined,
so as to hold the bottoms of D and K
| firm. F, the cross beam, is 80 feet six
inches long. This beam is kept firm by
| double braces at the bottom; these
braces should be about eight feet long.
G G are two plank draw braces. inlaid
in D and F and E F; then two bolts put
through at each end. By having G G
fastened in this way they have a double
purpose, both as braces and draw
braces. The rafters are two feet apart
and 16 feet long. The rafters only reach
to the top of the plate marked H. Short
rafters, Is inches long, are nailed against
the others, with four-inch rise at the
bottom. After the sheeting and shingles
are nut on the end roof has bell shape
appearance.
THE three or four inner beams Of
the barn should be made on the above
plan, while the outside ones have to D'
made with upright purlines in order IL
nail on the sheeting."

Miss KfeMUOnoId,

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearing-down pains, fatulency, nerv-
business, sleeplessness, leucorrhea.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life Of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
81 think that woman naturally dislikes to
make her troubles known to the public, but
restored health has meant so much to me that
/ cannot help from telling mine for the sake
Of other suffering women.
"For long time I suffered untold agony
| with a uterine trouble and irregularities,
which made me physical wreck, and no one
| thought would recover, but Lydia e. Pink
| hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strcng, and
, I feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what a splendid medicine It is"
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta.
BILE Compound at once, and write tc
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for special
advice-it is free and always helpful

A GOOD BARN FRAME.
Here Is a Plan by Which All Posts
Are Kept from the Floor

The following excellent plan for q
barn frame was recently submitted by
Mr.. Adam Roth, OF Ontario, to the Ca
madam Farmers Advocate:
Because of it's slanting purline posts
this plan is commonly called the bridge
beam. In most of the barns the posts
are vertical. Too many upright posts
in barn floor are hindrance, especial
ly in small barns built when timber is
plentiful. According to the proposed
plan not a single post is on the barr
