4 Good Way to Make One without
Parlin Plates.
The usual way Of constructing a curb
roof Is by having purlin works in the
barn and the rafters rest on the purlin
plate; but. owing to the advanced cost
Of building material, many barns are
now being constructed without any
purlin works whatever and are giving
good satisfaction. A very good way Of
constructing a curb roof where no pur-
lin plate is used is shown in diagram
with the following explanation. fro =

TOO much driving. and the draft for a
team Is very light. Instead of a single
pole l cut two--of about equal size,
each about twelve or fourteen feet III
length, and coupled together at the
thin ends. with a coupling, as shown In
the cut. 1t is necessary to use chain
from the coupling as well as from each
end, as shown. The chains may be
adjusted to draw the poles at an an
gle, as shown, which seems to work
still! better than drawn square across
the stubbles.
This Is very simple suggestion, says
q writer In Ohio Farmer, and similar
device may have been used by others,
but have never seen anything but
single pole used for the purpose. II
requires but a few minutes time and
no expense to make according to plan
and will prove to work better and take
much less time to do the work than the
former method.
