In putting up the rafters raise the gablerafters first. The best roof is a steep and flatten the rafters just as youdid the joists. Frame their lower ends tofit the plate-logs and bevel their tops ac-cording to the slant of the roof. Use aridge-pole to fasten the rafters to at thetop. Lay them about three feet apart,spike them to the ridge-pole at the small timber about 4 inches in diam-eter, flatten one side and halve them on tothe rafters, letting them extend over thegable ends about 6 inches. Nail them inplace. If shingles cannot be procured for a cov-ering, bark will do very well. The bark.
