represented in Fig. 157, where the sides are also made of 

 galvanized iron. 



As a substitute for galvanized iron in this form of ven- 

 tilating flue a good roofing paper may be used, such as the 

 ruberoid roofing made by the Standard Paint Company. 



449. Ventilation of Basement Stables There is a general 

 impression that basement stables are necessarily unhealth- 

 ful. This idea has grown out of the fact that it has been 

 possible to make these stables much closer and warmer 

 than ordinary over-ground forms, and where ample venti 

 lation has not been provided they have been damp and 

 close. 



FIG. 159. Method of ventilating a barn where a silo or granary occupies 

 the central portion. The air enters at A B and the ventilating flues 

 are the spaces between the studding which form the walls of the 

 silo, or other structure. The air entering at C in openings left all 

 around the silo, and passing out at D at the top. 



Where basement stables are well lighted and properly 

 ventilated there is no objection to them on sanitary 

 grounds and they have many points in their favor where 

 the conditions admit of their being easily constructed. 

 Methods of introducing the air into these stables are repre- 

 sented in Figs. 150 to 152.
