Shaker Farm.


The present settlement Of Shakers. or United
Brethren, at New Lebanon. was the first SPOT on
which this sect ever located. They commenced
here about forty years ago. The society con-
sists al present OF about 600 persons. more than
half Of whom are females. From small BEGIN
nnos they have acquired large posses sions. hold
ing at this time not less than seven thousand
acres of land. mostly lying continuously. We
spent few hours examining various objects con-
nectcd with this community.
Their building, are all built in the most sub
s,antial manner, and are constructed with par
ticular regard to convenience. One ct their
barns is considered in all respects the best con-
trived and most perfect Of any we have secn.-
1t is one hundred and lorty-one feet long. fifty
feet wide, and twenty-five feet high in the walls.
II consists of three stories. The basement is
devoted to the stock and the storage of yepcta-
bles in winter, the second and third to hay and
grain The main entrance for produce i in the
third story which, from the barn being on the
side of a hill, is nearly level with the ground \
floor runs lcngthwise through the barn, on this
story, and the hay and other articles are pitched
downward into the bays on each side. The bar
is capable ofcontaiHing two hundred tons Of hay
and it is so disposed that scarcely any of it la,
to be raised higher than the wagon from which
it is thrown. Onlv two hands are necessary t.
mload-one to pitch off, and one to keep the
NOV level, thus saving a great amount of labor
compared with what is required in barns of com
mon construction.
The apartments for the cattle are complete
The walls, which are Of very solid stone-work
are mastered. and though cool in summer, W.
should suppose they would be so warm in winte
that no frost would be found there windows il
each side permit free ventilation, The fodder i
thrown into racks for the stock from the 'ieedln!
floor in the second story. In front of the rack
are hangers to catch any straws that drop iron
the racks, as the fodder is pulled ont by the an
mails. An open space is left between the rack
and managers, which allows the animals read,
access to fresh air, prevents the hay in the racs
from being made unpalatable by their breath, am
gives room also to slip in boxes, when it is wish
ed to feed with slops or roots. The man win
had charge of the stock said he could feed an
fake care of a hundred animals in this barn witt
less labor than he could manage twenty in an
other barn he ever saw. The cattle stand on
platform with a gentle slope, which renders !
easier TO keep them clean and dry. The COW
are tied with chains around the neck, aud an

without first being well satisfied of the ieasibi-

Careful and most elaborate experiments were

these experiments, the gentlemen above named

that it was necessary to provide much larger

preston than to resist tension that wrought and
cast iron stand directly opposite TO each other in
this particular THAT cylndric and elliptic tubes
are far less able to resist weight applied horizon-

section. Hence. adopting the latter form, and
still1ning it by making the depth of the tube
nearly double its width (26b by ll) andthen adj
ding intcrior'y two rows of smaller tubes above
and one below. they arrived at form capable of
sustaining 100 tons in the centre OF a space of

Mr. Bancroft, in the first volume Of his His
tory OF the United States, give, an account oftho
early traffic Of Europeans in slaves In the mid.
dleaces the Nenecian- purchased white mon
christians and others. and sold them to the s;ir-
accnoS in Sicily and Spain. In England. the
anglo Saxon nobility sold thcirscrvanis ms slaves
10 foreigners. The Portuguese first inported
negro slaves from Western Africa into Europe
in lll2. Spain soon engagcd in the traffic. and
negro slaves nbounded in some places in that
kingdom. After America was discovered. the
Indians Of lii-vanoa We're imported into Spain
and made slaves e. The Spa.iqrds visited the
coast Of North America and kiduarrcd thou
sands OF the Indians. whom they transported in
to slavery in Europe ard the West Indies.

age Continued for nearly two centuries. Negro
slavery was first introduced into America by
Spanish Shareholders. who cmjrrlied with their
negroes. y royal cdct of Spain authorized me-
gro slavery IN America in 1903. King Fcrdi-
nand himself sent from Seville - slaves to labor
in hemines. In 1911 the direct traffic in slave
between Africa and iIispaniaola was enioincd by
a royal ordinance. Lns Cassas. who had see n
the Indians vanish away like dew before the cru.
elites OF the Spaniards, suggested the cXpedienl
that the negroes, who alone can endure severe
tolls. might be still further employed This wa,
in 1918. The mistaken benevolence of Las
Cassas extended the Slave trade which had been
previously established.
Sir John Hawkins was The first EnrliShman
that engaged in the Slave trade. In 1928 he
transported a large cargo of Africans to IIispan.

aud Queen Elizabeth protected and shared il
the traffic. Hawkins in one of his expeditions
set fire to an African city. and out of 5000 in
habiiants succeeded in Selling 30. James
Smith. of Boston. and Thos. keyscr. first brot
upon the colonies the guilt of participating il
the African slave tiade. In 1913 they imported
a cargo of negroes from Africa. Throughou

EATING BY THE tARD.-A green 'un from Or

New urt, for the purpose of >cciugal the sights
and in order to strike his acquainlances at home
wiha proper idea of the greatness Of his visit, he
took lodgings at the A-tor House.
When he was u,hcred into dinner the first day.
he was surprised at the number OF people who
sat down, as well aS the vastnesS OF the dining
room. He was equally surprised to see that
each man had a printed account of his dinner be-
fore him, and that each one, as he thought ate
according 10 the directions. lie was quite hun
gry-and well he might be after waiting three
hours over his usual time--so he attacked the
head of the bill with vigor and eat down as far a.
he could. but he soon came TOT stand. Just then
the gentleman on his right requested waiter to
bring him some oyster pc,whiCh our friend heard
and Instantly referred to the list to see where it
was.
