Barns.

Those who build now, are pretty generally
agreed upon one point; that it is more econom
cal to build one building for;the vaaious farm pur.
pose, rather than the great number which are
seen so common about old establishments.
Let US look at a few figures, which aoont lie.
building ten feet square contains one thousand
cubic feet Not to speak of the roof, the out
side presents a surface TO the weather of four
to four feet outside.
Take another example. A building twenty
feet square contains eight thousand cubic feet;
the outside measures one thousand six hundred
feet. Here we have five feet inside to one foot
outside. We will now take 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 large
barn accommodates another part. 1t is saving
of steps to have your horses near the vehicle in
which you wish to attack him. Why go several
rods to ten-fooler, and open another set of
doors in the wind to b" get out the chaise %
What comfort, in returning from market or
town-meeting on stormy day, and driving into
a snug floor way, there TO untackle and put away
horse and wagon, with case and expedition
There is no difficulty in dispensing with the
Icarriage house the barn is the place for all the
vebicles. the cellar takes in all the carts and
coarse Wagons room at the side of the drive
way the lighter vehicles. Then what need is
there for seperate building for tools what
place so central as an ample room by the side of
the foor-wayl You start from the barn, usually
TO 90 to different parts of the farm, and YOU re-
turn thither after the work is done
have thought, Mr.. Brown, that portable bins
for corn might be put up in this large tool room
In the busy season of the year, corn-bins are apt
to get pretty low, sos they would not be in the
way much when the tools were most used.
should perfer that the bins be where they could
be seen to often. One might stand a better
chance then OF keeping the rats from destroying
the corn. have little faith in these out of the
way places to keep corn, it is sure to waste and

Wit-Contest Between Father and
Son


R.B Sheridan had a great distasis to anything
like metaphysical discussions. whereas Tom had
liking for them. Tom one day tried to discuss
with his father the doctrine of Necessity.
A." Pray, my good father" said he, " did you
ever do anything in state of perfect Indifference;
without motive, mean, of some kind or other I"
Sheridan, who saw what coming, and by no
means relshed such subjects, even from Tom,
or any one else, said, d" Yes, certainly" In
deed" said Tom. " Yes, indeed" " What !
total ndference-total, entire, through indffer
ence!' Yes, total, entire, thoroush indiffer-
ence." Well, then, my dear father, tell me
what it is you can do with mind total, entire,
thorough Indifference -" Why, listen to you
Tom" said Sheridan. The rebuff, as Tom told
Inc, so Disconnected him, that he has never for
gotten it, nor had ever again troubled his father
with any metaphysics.
Another amusing incident is the following, in
which Professor Smyth, the tutor of Tom, wa;
concerned
An incident occurred just as parted with Mr.
s., not little descriptive of him. /" / wrote
you letter lately" said F." it was an angry
one you will be 80 good as to think no more o

said Il" shall never think of what you have
said in it, be assured,' and putting his hand il

in their own views, may live in harmony even
with those who are supposed to be peculiarly
fierce and faithless.
We cannot bring ourselves to wish that there
were nothing but Quakers in the world, becaus
we fear it would be insupportably dull; but
when we consider what tremendous evils daily
arise from the petulancy and proaigacy, the am
bition and irritability, of sovereigns and minis
ters, we cannot hop thinking, it would be the
most elicacious of all reforms to choose all those
ruling personages out of that plain, pacific, and
sober-minded sect Edinburgh Reric,o.

This is Bloomerism rediviOus.

Among the many good reasons why Mr.. Bu-
chanan can never be elected to the Presidency,
there is one which is conclusive. Heis woman
hater-a dried up old bachelor-and the ladies
can have no sympathy with him. Without
their sympathy he cannot be elected. Think Of
a President of the United States turning the
White House into bachelors hall-setting be

DRESS REFoRM.-A dress reform convention
is now holding its second meeting in Homer,
Cortland County, N. Y. The first meeting of
this convention was held in February last, at
which the following among other resolutions
was passed;
"That we realize the necessity for u change
in the condition of Woman, that we believe her
competent to engage in many pursuits as yet
not open to her, if she will but make the need
full change in herself and, seeing clear con-
necton between her dress and her present con-
dition, we are determined to discard dress
that both makes and marks our impotence =
that is only adapted to 'womanly helplessness
and henceforth attire our persons for the
whole battle of life "
