the other 5 inches wide are beveled and put together with long wire nails. They are tlien put in place and pieces of the 16-inch siding 2 feet 9% inches long are slipped under the ridge boards to level up between the battens and stove bolts are put through the ridge board understrip and roof section. This fastening adds much to the strength of the roof. Finish boards of the 16-inch material should be cut and fitted at the gable edge of the roof to give a neat appearance. To stiffen the door opening brace boards should be put across inside from plate to post at the upper corners of the opening. In the work of erecting the building no fastenings are to be used but bolts and screws and to facilitate the work provide two bitstocks one for a screwdrive bit the other for a proper size gimlet. After the house is finished it should have three coats of paint well brushed into the grooves in the beading etc. The in side of the doors should also be painted since they are frequently exposed to the weather. The panels and all parts requiring time in the mak ing can be put together in a shop of limited space and given a coat of priming paint before erecting the building. This coat should be of white lead and oil possibly shaded with lampblack ground in oil and thinned well with turpentine so that it will strike into the pitchy surface of Georgia pine. The house shown has been in use for a year and has proved both tight and strong in contradiction to the critics of the plan who thought it would do all sorts of undesirable things under the heat and rains of summer. It is most essential that it be well painted before the weather acts upon it and that it be kept well painted. LUMBEli BILL.
