' The barn and stable 1 reitember
first were beat on much the .same
plan as the' house: Cedar „loges
dovetailed at' the arlierg'eneWith
'the walls about 14 'feet high made
the body of the barn. 'On two sides
were plates to carry the rafters
and across the rafters were ash
strips that .had been split from
straight -grained trees. Boards could
be, easier made this Way than by
whip -sawing them from logs. There
had to be barns long before there
Were sawmills, so it was a ease of
tnekethe best of what they had,
The making of shingles was a
trade in itself. In those days they
had to lbe split from cedar blocks
and shaved to a thin edge With a
long -bladed knife. They sure made
a good roof when once they were
nailed on and we see them ht fair
shape after 50 years of ramn. and
wind and weather. •
11 Was in the stablesfor, the
horses and owS and in the pens
for the sheep and pigs that a bit
more of fancy carpenter work was
to .be seen 'generally.' Manger and
stalls in the horse stable and the
floors, too, were ina4le of straight
eedar polee•fitted together with an
axe- and finished off with,the adze.
But In the case of the cow stables
things ,veerd apt to be a bit More
compliCated, Besides the floor with
sonic sort of getter as apart of it,
'there were stanchions' in • which
the eattle were fastened. • These
staniihions were apt to be pretty
eltunsy affairs ebmpared with the
sort we see in the stables nowa-
• days, but it Was the best that
could be Slone then. In• the old
.coulitey a couple of hundred years
back they used what they ealled
"the pillory". as a punishment for
crinibtals. It; was it short piece of
