The ridge of the roof should be finished with 

 1" x 6", excepting in cases where galvanized iron roofing 

 is used. Y/ith it, use galvanized ridge capping. 



SIDING. 



Use 1" x 12" "boards and 1" x 3" battens, free 

 from loose knots and all knots of a greater diameter than 



l 1 ^". Boards should also be free from -weather check, rot, 

 disfigurements and large pitch pockets. Finish the 

 corners with 1" x 4" boards. 



FLOOR. 



Flooring in the stall section may or may not be 

 ueed, at the option of the builder. Ordinarily, if 

 drainage is good, and if the building site is level, floor- 

 ing will not be needed. If not used, the four items 

 of the lumber list under Sheeting, Flour, Walls, etc. 

 before which the mark {#) appears, should be omitted from 

 the order list. If flooring is used, it should be laid 

 lengthwise of the stall, and in the -opposite direction 

 behind the stalls. The wagon shed is not to have a 

 floor. In every case, flooring should be provided in 

 the hay mow section. Battens should be placed under 

 cracks of hay mow floor and under floor of the grain room. 



STALLS. FACTITIOUS. ETC. 



Stalls, grain room and other partitioned 

 features should be constructed as shovm in the plan. If 

 no floor is used, set the mangeis and posts upon a stone 

 at least 6" thick and 8" square. Size and type of 

 mangers may be varied to suit peculiar conditions and 

 circumstances. If the plan shown is not followed, the 

 same substantial construction standard must be adhered 

 to in all deviations. If no floor is used, lower the 

 manger to proper height to make allowance for elevation 

 lost on account of absence of the floor. 



Partitions between hay room and stall section 

 shall extend only to top of manger, oj if racks are used, 

 a point about half v/ay to the top of the racks.
