Everything considered, the self-sup- porting roof is the more desirable, and when a new roof is being put on it is the one to use.--The Canadian Coun- tryman. _ F remit? U6Mihdhder At the Dardanelles This kind of roof has many advan- tages over the old style of roof. It not only gives more room in the loft, but it does away with the necessity of having heavy supporting posts and cross beams that are apt to interfere with the moving away of the hay: It is strong and easy to construct. The question, then, is what is the style of roof that will give most loft room? The old triangle gable roof has given good service in times past, but on all up-to-date farms it is being replaced by the gambrel or self-sup- porting roof. a sanitary barn-especially a dairy barn-should have an overhead loft, does not hold. It is refuted by the experience of the majority of our imost successful producers of pure lmilk. The only thing is, that care ‘should be taken that the hay is not ‘thrown down when the cows are be- ing milked. The loft floor should be made dust-proof, and while not in actual use hay openings should be kept closed to prevent the sifting) down of dust. As a rule, profitable stock raising and dairying depends on the growing of large amounts of hay and roughage on the farm. A large, roomy loft furnishes by far the cheapest hay storage. Ample loft room allows all hay to be placed di- rectly in the barn from the swath. To build a satisfactory barn roof requires a considerable amount of thought and care. When an entirely new barn is being built it is not so hard as when a new roof has to be put on an old barn. The first thing that a barn roof should possess is (ability to keep out the rain and wind. Many barn roofs, although built strongly ac,', well, because of a loose board or shingle, or some little de- feet, have literally gone up in the air land caused the owner to go up in the 'air, too, the morning after a storm, ;when he finds the roof off his barn. 389 sure, then, that the roofing mater.. ial, whatever it may be, is put on firmly and well. Nowadays, when labor is so scarce, it is better to have the hay stored over the stable. Thus, a lot of carry- ing and forking is done away with. A large, roomy loft over the first story, then, is necessary. The roof should be constructed so that the maximum of loft space will be avail- able.
