usually be had cheap at auction sales or from dis- 

 mantled buildings. These windows are, of course, set 

 vertically into the wall, as they will not shed water well 

 if set at much of a slant. Slanting windows must be 

 without crossbars and the ends of the panes must over- 

 lap, as in hotbed sashes. Slanting windows usually 

 give more trouble than they are worth, are constantly 

 leaking or breaking, and are not durable. One window 

 to a pen is enough and each one should be made easily

removable in summer. The space may be protected 

 with wire netting, which may be left on the whole year. 

 If new glass must be bought, the second or third grades 

 will answer. For doing a cheap job, crossbars are not 

 absolutely needed, as if the panes are fitted closely and 

 firmly in the upright bars, the ends of the panes may be 

 brought together without a bar between. Brads may 

 be used instead of putty glazing. A window thus 

 made is a cold affair and is not desirable for severe 

 climates.
