As you know:, my barns were struck by
lightning on May 10th,. 1891, and entirely
consumed. I then built a new baren.50x*
feet, using your Queenston Cement urra
concrete walls. The foundations were 2 feet
deep and 1 foot 8 inches in width ; then
built on that the walla 7 feet high (the we,
were 16 inches thick,) set on the centre of
foundation, finishing 12 inches thick on top, -
to receive tills 10 inches square (the "joist*
were laid on top of alio, making walls for -
my stables 7 feet 10 inches in the dear. The'
outside face of walbs were plumb ; the in-
side face of walls were battering 4 inches.
We used, in the foundation and walls, *
barrels of your Cement, I supaintendect
the construction of the walls personally. I -
had in my employ four men. We were -ten
days in building the 9 feet of Wall. W4e-
commenced to build on" the 18th of June,
and finished walls on the 28th. We radio&
the bain on the 6th of July ; a very hes,vr,
frame of hardwood timber ; posts 19 feet
long )hipped root) On the 15th of July la*
commenced hauling id hay, and then grain -
as fast as we could harvest it until I bedsits
least 200 tons in the barn. The walls stood
this great pressure ; there is not the least -
crack anywhere. I believe I have as good_
and perfect a wall as it is possible to builds,
and 1 am sure it will stand for generations.
In October I put in my floor . all over
barn, all for cattle manure drops, stallades:
In this I used 76bs.rrels of your Cement,an
as a comparative test I used one barrel
Portland Cement. The floors have been
daily useover a year, and I have never
able to see any difference between
Queenston Cement and the Portland Ceme
I consider I have a perfect floor, that
last more than a lifetiene,,and at a much
cost than plank. No liquid manure is # -
and stables can -be - kept clean and ssrset
with less than half the labor 'with p
flo.1°ArTs; have this year built another barn
the following dimensions 39,x56, 9;
walls from bottom Of foundations,
lighter walls 12 inches thick at groan
and 10 inches under the eille.; which
skier stroeg enough for any orainary
We used, in this strueture,_ barre
you.r Queenston Cement ; and I am sa
that when your instructions are eathed
one will have perfect work every thne.
Any further information yourselves
your eusthmera may desire, I will Wrligi
cheerfully at any time.
