The best way, In my opinion, to form
barn-yard for the preservation Of manure,
without It's becoming muddy, where the
ground is higher than some of It's sur
rounding parts, Is to plough and scrape
from the centre to the outside, making q
gradual descent from the outside to the
centre. Let the fall be one half foot In
ten and falling little more rs You near
the centre. Dig drain from the centre
To some suitable place without the yard
where you can construct a vat to put In
leaves. sOds, muck, etc.. that viii absorb
and retain the liquid from the yard. The
bottom and sides may be formed of plank,
or may be more substantially built OF
stone and mortar. The top Of the vat
should be made so rs TO guard against
rains and surface water n much rs posi-
BILE. The drain should fall considerably,
and shoald be made Of plank eight inches
high and one foot wide inside. The head
OF the drain should be covered over with
n strong iron crate. The yard ought to
be well paved with cobble stone, and with
n little pains you can always have a dry
yard. The water from the barns and
sheds should never be allowed to run into
the yard. hut should be carried by good
eaycs-trouyhs tn cist crn, for the purp ose
of watering the stock.

The Sues Canal.

Almost simultaneously with the COM
plction of the railway which Is to connect
the OPPOSITE coasts of the North Amcri-
can continent, We shall probably have to
record the triumph of another great work
of human ingenuity aud perseverance,
which Is to unite the Mediterranean and
Indian seas. The project Of cutting u ship
canal through the hundred miles Of sand
which unite the continents Of Africa and
Asia Is as old rs the age Of the Pharaohs,
and nearly twenty-five centuries ago n
channel was finished from the Nile to the
Gulf Of Suez, twO-thlrds of 1t, or about 60
miles, cut by the labor of man. 1t was
repeatedly chokcd up with the drifting
sands of the desert, and repeatedly reop-
cned. At last, over thousand years ago
