Estimating the Capacity Of Barns.

Very lev farmers are aware OF the pre-.
cisc amour, OF shelter needed Tor their crops.
but lay their plans OF outbuildlngs from
vague conjecture or guessing As conse-
quence, much OF their produce has to he
stacked outside. after their buildings have
been completed; and If additions are made
they mus, be put Up a, the sSpense Of con.
vcn,ent arrangement. A briei example will
show bow the capacity Of the barn may be
adapted to the sire OF the farm.
Suppose Tor example, that the farm con-
iAins 100 acres. Of which 90 are good arabic
land. and that ons-third each are devoted b
meadow. pasture. aud grain. Ten acres Of
the latter may he corn. stored in q separate
building. The meadow should afford two
tons. Per acre, aud yield Co tons; the sown
grain ~ acres. may yield a corresponding
bulk Of straw. Of 10 tons. Tho barn should.
therefore. bc-ilcs other matters. have ca
pacity fur 100 ton. or over one ton Per acre
as average. Allovin; 500 cubic fee, fnr
each ton (rerhar' Coo would be nearcr) it
would require bay or now 10 fee, long
and 10 feet wide for ton and n half to- each
FOO, Of depth. II - lee, high Il would hold
about so tons. II the barn were 10 fee,
wide with 10 fee, posts. anI feet Of base
ment. about Is tons could be slowed away
in hay resehln. from basement 10 peak.
Two such bays. or equiSalent space. would
be required for the products OF 10 weli.cul.
tiraied acres. Such buildin; !. much lar.
ger than !. usually allowed and yet, with
out IL there mus, DO a large waste. rs every
farmer Is aware who stacks hrs hay out; or
q large expenditure OF labor In pitching and
repitching sheayes Of grain in ,hrashine.
In addition in this. q, We have already
seen. there should D. ample room Tor the
shelter OF domestic animals. In estimating
the space required. ineludin. feeding alleys.
&C.. u horse should have IS square feet ;
COW ij ieei and sheep about 10 square feet
each. The basement Of harm. therefore.
10 by IS fact IN the clear. wall stable 80 cat
,le and 80 sheep, and a row 0, stalls across
one eud will afford room for 5 horses. The
80 acre. each Of pasture and meadow. and
tho 10 acres Of corn fodder already spoken
Of. with portion Of grain and roots, would
probably keep about this number OF animals,
and consequently barn with a basement Of
le., size than 10 BY IS ieei would BE- insult .

The Apple Worm.

Everybody knovs-wbeu We have apples
how very generally they are infested With
a worm not the worm proceeding from the
crc deposited BY the eurculio, bu, from an
e.g deposited in the blossom, and tho. grow
ing with the growth OF the apple It's
fat. sleek looking. white worn. often an
inch IN length. which eat, to the very cen.
tire OF the fruit. and frequsnty in trans.
vsr,e directions. throwing its ofil out a,
the calyx. or through the side. Of the fruit.
The centre i. sometime. filed with this mat
ter, 80 tia, the whole apple Is thoroughly
ruined.
In the autumn Of 1859 there was fair
apple crop. Yet scarcely ten in thousand
apples could be found free from ,hi. worm I!
\ .hor, time since. Mr. j. W. Wilcox, of
West RoIbury. brought Us a bottle OF these
worms, eighty odd in number. which be
caught in two nights under a single tree =
Tie learned how 20 catch the rascal. in the
following manner Several years sGo, while
engaged in doing carpenter work. some tim
ber and boards were leit under IA apple
tree, lying in various position, upon the
ground. Upon removing ihi, lumber. he
found tha, wherever two pieces Of board or
timber Law pretty closely together, these
worms had crawlcd IN IN considerable mum.
bers. and seemed to be well pleased with
their snug retreat. This served TO give him
the idea OF trap which has proved the
death Of thousands Of the offenders.
lie places two boards. each about three
feet long. aud Of pr'tty smooth surface,
no, planed, however. together. under the
rrea aud near the stem. These boards are
visited each morning and the worms found
there destroyed. and the boards Ia. back IN.
10 posi,iOn again. Three sets Of board. are
usually placed under tree, on its different
.ide., which, Mr. W. say. he thinks. will
soon draw the worms from ,he fallen apples
into their benifeent shelter. Ho also gave
IL az his opinion. that all old apple trees
undsr the walls and in the pastures that are
no, attended 20. are so many nurseries OF
these pests, and that IL they were Gu, down,
or all the fallen apples were eaten by swine
or cattle, and proper care observed with eui'
tisated trees. this great evil would be aoated
or entirely removed.
