BARNS.

Those who build now, are pretty gen.
orally agreed upon one point; that it is
more economical to build one building for
the various farm purpose, rather than the
great number which are seen so common
about old establishments.
Let US look at few figures which
tcon't he.
A building ten feet square contains one
thousand cubic feet Not to speak OF the
roof, the outside presents surface to the
weather of four hundred feet. We have,
then. ten feet inside to four feet out
side.
Take another example. A building
twenty feet square contains eight thou
sand cubic feet; the outside measure one
thousand six hundred feet. Here we have
five feet inside to one foot outside. We
will take a building forty feet square
the inside to the outside is as ten to one !
am aware that the larger structure
requires heavier frame, that is ALL
The boards and shingles are the same in
either case. / know, too, that the wide
roof is worn by rain. That objection
however, is not of great weight.
/ hold, Mr.. Brown, that one part OF q
large barn accommodates another part. II
is saving of steps to have your horses
near the vehicle ia which you wish tc
attach him. Why go several rods to 6
ten-footer, and open another set of door;
in the wind to "get out the chaise ~
What comfort, in returning from marke
or town-meeting on stormy day, anC

with care and expedition. There is nj
difficulty in dispensing with the carriage
house; the barn is the place for all tn
vehicles, the cellar takes in all the cart
and coarse Wagons room at the sid
of the driveway the lighter vehicles
:; Then what need is there for a separat
building for tools; what place SO centra
as an ample room by the side of the foo

to go to different parts of the farm, an

THE FALL OF JERUSALEM.

One Of the most splendid sketches it
has ever been our fortune to peruse, is
that by Croly, who, in one of his works,
thus describes the fall of Jerusalem:
The fall of our illustrious and happy
city was supernatural The destruction
Of the conquered was against the first
principles Of Roman policy and the last
hour ofour national existence Rome held
out offers Of peace, and lamented our
frantic disposition to be undone. But the
decree had gone forth from a mightier
throne. During the latter days of the
siege, a hostility, to which that of man

drives it on, overpowered our strength
and senses. Fearful shapes and voices

short and troublesome sleep; lunacy in
its hideous forms sudden death in the

From the New England Farmer.
HAY CPAS.

The Importance of the hay crop, and
the short time in which is necessary to
secure it, demand that every precaution
should be taken to prevent delay or losses
in harvesting it.
With the almost uniformly dry months
of July and August, as we have had for
three years past in this region, the hay
maker may say, perhaps, that coverings
for the protection of his hay-cocks are
unnecessary. But there are sections of
country every summer, where the "wea-
Their is catching" and large quantities of
hay are ruined or much injured. After
the grass has been made nearly ready for
the barn, the loss is not that of the grass
alone, but of the labor also that has been
bestowed upon it, and which has now be-
come part of the value of the crop.
Besides, if there is a way to protect
the partially made crop out of doors, it
prevents many tons from being injured
after being taken in. When the rain
/ comes, the length of its duration is uncer-
tain, and the farmer will often hurry in
hay that is not sufficiently cured, and that
will heat and become musty in the barn.
Z
And then there springs, both from the
wetting and the moulding, disappoint
ment and uneasiness of feeling, that sho d
be avoided, if it can be done with too ex-
pensive an outlay.
Again, in curing hay, it is sometime,
absolutely necessary that it should remain
out two or three nights, and there is tor
: much risk without some protection of tn,
cocks.
A simple, cheap, and thoroughly eff
tectual remedy against losses by victim,
hay, may be found by using sheeting
yard wide, and sewing two pieces tw
yards long, each, together; hem the edo
es; turn down the corner an inch. an
then that turn another inch, and sew
down strong. This will form a loop. int
which strong Irvine must be PLACED
When the cap is thrown over the cocl
n thrust pine pin about foot long thr,
p the string at each corner, and up into III
hay which will keep the cap in plac,
|; unless the whole cock is overturned.
Your cap, made as above, will be tw
e yards square, which will be sufficient
y large to cover half or two thirds the wa
.e down of a common cock beyond this ii
lie rain will do no harm, as the water wi
not penetrate the hay.
Good firm sheeting worth eight 10 mir
cents yard, will shed the rain from II

SUCKING CoLTs.-When you ride
or drive your mares with colts by their
side to town, put a halter on the colt and
train it 10 walk by the side of its mother.
The halter should be of sufficient length
TO allow the colt TO suck, and 10 lie down,
A colt thus trained is half broke; but
the main object of the halter is, to pre-
vent the colt from running after strange
horses.

GRAPE VINES IN GARDENs.-Grape
vines delight in being well manfred, and
will not give the best satisfaction without
a dry bottom and abundance of rich soil.
At this period of the season, those who
have trained grape vines in their gardens,
should examine them thoroughly, to de-
stroy caterpillar worms while they are
small. One may now be found in almost
every bud, rolled up in a pellet of fine
wool. All the labor thus spent will pay
for itself. During warm dry weather
the surface of the ground around the roots
of vines should be covered with litter tt
the tender rootlets, that spread out ST
near the surface.

well titled garden soils, one man with this
little instrument can do the work of twen-
ty with hand-hoes it is only useful, how
ever, to pass between rows, as 1t cannot
remove the weeds which are resident II

Standing crops should be thinned out

weeds running to seed. Every means

Frequent hoeing will materially lessor
the liability of crops to suffer from
drought, as the moisture contained in tn
atmosphere can then be rained upon an'
condensed by the colder particles of thu
soil below the surface.
