TIGHT BARNS.

l have noticed lately that some of your
correspondents have again brought up
the subject of tight barns, contending
that hay will keep better IN such also,
that i. will keep better, and, as under-
stand them to say, would dry better in
the barn than in the stack. However
the facts or theories in the case may be.
i, is certain that the opinion OF most far
mers is against all this.
Some farmers put their early cut hay,
which is supposed to contain more sap
than that which is cut later, on the scat
fold side of the barn. And | think far
mers generally put their greonest hay on
the scatfolds or lofts, rather than into
bays which are generally much wider
and deeper SO in the season of hay
ing, barns are lett more open for the
draught Of air than at other seasons OF
the year.
have put good sweet hay into the
tight, nicely-built stables in the village,
where there was no ventilation, and in q
few weeks the outside would be mould
and bad. Aud have heard other viii
layers that had tight barns say, that they
did not buy hay out of the fields because
they had found that it would not keep
IN their barns.
We universally fil.d that corn barns
are made very open, and the cribs mars
row, for the better circulation of arr |
think that both hay and corn Larns
should have ventilation at the top as
well as near the bottom.
Hay from the salt marsh is usually
stacked out and many time l have
heard farmers say their hay was not dry
enough to put into the barn so they
would stick it. Hay in the stack will
dry better by being raised up from the
ground, to secure draught Of air under
meath. Many even 60 so far as to build
the stack hollow that is, they fl a bag
full of hay, and on commencing the

are held over tie hole after the bag is
drawn out, and little more hay is pitch.
ed on, and the top finished. This meth>
cd of stacking hay has been found to
work admirably where hay must be put
up not more than halt cured, as it is
sometimes on the marshes on account of
tides.
l am aware that much depends on the
weather about drying hay that is stack
ed green but think the more air we
get, either by stacking hollow, or by
big cracks in the barn, the better for
hay, unless it is perfectly dry.-Cor.

A CURSE TO THE COUNTRY.


Next to the inordinate use of intoxi-

the haste to become rich as deplorable
evil--the desire and expectation of get.

very inadequate equivalent, if we may
use the word in such sense-whlch
lead so many of our youth to abandon
trades in order to swell the crowds of
clerks, lawyers, doctors, &c. now aud
always so largely in excess of the de,
mand for their services. A desire to be
rich Is not in itself wrong, but the ten,
dency is not TO scruple at the means,
and to end IN disgrace and ruin. .
