. The Canadian farmer's manual of agriculture [microform] : the principles and practice of mixed husbandry as adapted to Canadian soils and climate : comprising: the field; produce of the farm; stock raising and management; manufactures of the farm; dairy; diseases of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs; farm buildings, modern machinery and implements : counsel to the immigrant-settler, Agriculture; Farms; Agriculture; Exploitations agricoles. 22 The Canadian Farmer's the 8lo[)e is slight, the earth taken from the basement being thrown out on the upper side to form the road-way to the barn. Here x y shows natural slope of ground, making an angle of 5° with the horizon. By excavating three feet at the inside, and supposing the barn to be forty feet wide, sufficient earth is ob- tained to make a raised road to the top of a basement wall, D B, nine feet high. Raised road running out twenty feet from the barn tl(jor to the natural ground, and making an incline of three feet in twenty, uj) which to take waggons into the barn. If the site should be a dead level, earth must be obtained else- where to make a protection to those walls of the basement forming the outside of the cellar. OuaKAM X y shows the natural slope of the ground, being say three feet in forty. By excavating three feet at the inside, and supposing the barn to be forty feet wide, earth sufficient is obtained from the excavation to make a raised road to the top of a nine-foot basement wall; such raised road running forty feet out to meet the ground, has only an incline of three in forty, up which to draw on to the barn tioor. If the site should be a dead level, the cost becomes far greater, as the earth required to protect the outer walls of the cellar would have to be drawn to the spot, whilst if the basement be commenced on the crest of the elevation, as in Diagram 2, the labour of excavation is reduced to a minimum. A basement wall resting against a bank should be built of stone and first-class mortar
