3Atifulintol. From the Ea Journal Barn Building. In Pennsylvania there is no complete foul without a barn, and the plan of clmstruction is almost uniform. A bank bird is deemed an indispensible neces sity. The immense -amount of money thus invested, and the proportion whi6ll it bears to. the value of the land itself, is very satisfactory evidence of its piled tl value. N o twithstanding the impres sion that exists in other States on this subject, in my judgment, there can be no road and profitable farming without it. The subject h is, therefore, sufficient itriportauce to warrant the consideration whether this plan, so uniform, has not' be al improved upon There can 1.);.1 11.1 d•inlif of the great superiority, of the two-storied bank-barn. Th-n-plan-of---structure - which_ will most lid' conveniently economise time and will best ccnduec to the farnier'.B inter ests. 'Having one of each kind, experi ence has shown me the great superiority of that which 1. recommend. The differ ,ence be ween them cannot be better .ex pressed than by saying that the improved barn has two sets of floors, one above the other; and as you drive into the up per one, it, of course, requires a corres ponding height of natural bank—not so high, however, as may not be had on unoit farms of rolling hind. The upper doors have an elevation of seven feet a 'Jove the lower. The advantage of such barn is, first, its great capacity. It has t-height and depth of twenty-six feet, w Clout any high pitching; for your load is about th.i middle of.--it,-and -you pitch both down and up—down to the battom of the mow, which is on a level with the floor, and up to the height of in ordinary barn. But the particular of th:.s is, the immense• compression which results from a deep and high mow—the grain or hay is pressed into a space which s almost incredible to any one who has aot experienced it. After tilling the -now nearly full, you are led to wonder at its capacity to receive more. I need only add, that all other parts of the barn Are improved in their convenience and ipace , by this simple alteration in prinei :—that the size of your barn is made conslsl •in its height instead of its length and breadth, whereby you save, in p out of expense,.the extensive roofing, Lll,l add nothing . to your height of wall, which you do not take front its length and breadth; and what you gain is, the .clue of pressure in packing away, and :he saving of labor, in requiring but one or two hands to put your grain in a small :now, when two or three, or perhaps four, Would_bp - ' required in one of greater space. But this is but one point of conven ience and economy. To thresh grain ,vith a machine requires four, five or six hands—the number depending upon the uonvenienee of putting away the straw. It is easy to perceive the difference in putting away straw in mows and over shots seven feet below the threshing floor, and in those on a level with it. And Aoon after you begin to get out your grain this state of the - ease arises, and it will as found that one or two hands less are required. The capacity of the cannon bank-barn will .allow you to thresh from one hun dred to one hundred to one hundred and ;fifty bushels at a time, and.then you must stop, discharge your hands, and occupy, the next day in clew ninfr up and getting; • your grain out of the way, whereas in the improved barn the threshed grain passes to the lower floor, is not in your way, and you thresh until you are done. And in a barn thus constructed more than donble.the quantity caubeAreslued in a day. In the nommen liarn,With the machine I use, it requires about twenty 'two minutes td run .through ton. dozen and twenty-seven minutes - to cavelt up; in the improved one, all the time of city .. ing up, being more than one-half, is savt ed. The same unaehine, which will :thresh one hundred• bushels a day in the former, with one hand less will thresh' two hundred bushels in•tho hitter. • One Of the lower floors, is used for cleaning your grain, and the ether for .garners; and both constantly useful for • many . other purposes. 1 commend to farmers the examination "of this improvement. - before they.build , a: ••barn. tt 1 4 11)K.
