The open stallis provided with a similar shute and rack. The stable door slides ona track protected from rain and snow. The two large doors are BARNS AXD STABLES. 47 hung by stout hinges. The barn is boarded up with two thicknessesof vertical siding, with building paper between, the joints covered bybattens, and the roof is shingled. Nearly all the timbers for such a bam are short. Eight sills, sixby eight inches, ten feet long, are morticed and pinned together atthe angles, and a sill of the same width and thickness, twenty-fourfeet long, extends through the center. At each angle of the frameis a vertical post, four by six inches, sixteen feet long, notched onthe outer face to receive three courses of girders at properintervals, upon which the siding is nailed.

The apex, however, is truncated by the octagonframe of the ventilator, three feet in diameter, as shown in figure 33, and rafters two by six inches, sixteen feet and a half long, extendfrom each angle of the plates to the ventilator frame. Midwaybetween every two of these is a rafter, fifteen and a half feet long, from the center of each plate. On each side of this, at equal inter-vals and parallel with it, are two rafters two by four inches, onetwelve and the other seven feet long.
