Now that the use of the horse-fork is becoming very general, m the plan of a bam, the upper old-fashioned cross beams should be avoided. We shall presently, by plan, show a barn constructed on this principle. Among the many plans for barns that we have in view, we select one which appeared not a long time ago in the columns of the Country Oentleman as one that admirably suits the system of farming in, and the climate of Canada, and as one from which many valuable ideas may be gained by the intending builder, and which is susceptible of modification to suit almost any locality and site. The accompanying plan is for a barn of a size suitable for about 7o acres of land under cultivation on the system of mixed hus- bandry. The barn is 42 x 60 ft. Figure 1 shows the common or principal floor, and is so 'constructed that a loaded waggon is driven in at one end and when emptied is driven out at the other. The arrangement for this pur- pose, so as not to interfere with the cellar or basement, is shown in the perspective view, figure 2, an embank- ment being made at each end, which would be faci- litated if the building were placed between two slight knolls or in a moderate hoi- ^- Principal Floor. ^-â ^-â â ..â ..â â â â . .'j.'.... .â B>Y.
