.Farm -6arOen-7Aouseboln
Cis1erlas.


1t very often happens that the rain water
which tails on the roofs Of barns and other
farm buildings, is allowed To flow over the
barn yard, damaging manure, and making the
yard wet and uncomfortable after every show
err How much better it Is, when the water
from the roofs Is collected in large cistern,
and kept for the use of stock, Washing, water
ing plants, etc. 1t is estimated that roof 81
by 4j feet, in this Climatic, will Weld about
1000 barrels of rain water annually 1t will
be seen from this, that when several large
roofs are economical, an immense supply of
good, wholesome, useful water may be obtain
ed. \ cistern Ii feet in diameter and six feet
deep will hold about 525 barrels OF water
On large farms, two or more cisterns OF mOder-
ate size, conveniently placed, may be better
than one very large one. If an untailing sup
ply OF water Is not available, cisterns will be
invaluable during the seasons of drouth
They should be large enough to hold a three
months supply of water for the live stock of
the farm. The supply pipe Should enter at
the bottom Of the cistern, as by this means the
contents will be frequently renewed. OF
course, every cistern must have pump and
waste pipe An excellent filter may be made
by dividing the cistern into two compart-
,Stnents, by wall made by laying single bricks
in cement the pump and supply pipes being
separate compartments.

Rest Place for "A Horse.

Winter or summer, except in stormy times,
there is no place SO comfortable for colts or
tired work horses as a good pasture lot. To
tie up tired horse at night in a narrow cell,
with plank floor to stand Oh, is species of
cruelty that civilization ought to be ashamed
OF. If the poor animal must be confined like
a convict IN dungeon, for PHYS sake let him
have his head, and give him a: least ~ feet
square, with soft, dry floor TO stand or lie on.
In large cities land is worth more in money
than horses but on the farm there is no ex-
cuse for any such wicked economy. Ask the
horse what he wants, and he will tell you a
place where he can walk around, lie down and
streatch his tired limbs, and roll over
from one side to the other, give more ease and
comfort after Il day OF hard work, than the
most costly plank stall, with the accompani-
ments of curry-combs, stii-bristlcd brushes,
rubber cloths and deytrous hostlers that can
be produced.

\ New INDUsTRY.-The agricultural jour
mails beginto talk OF new industry-the man
utacture OF sugar from sweet potatoes. The
average product OF "a bushc! of potatoes the
yam variety being preierred--is said to be
over two gallons, and as the average yield
per acre on poor, sandy soil is from hun
bred and fifty to hundred an eighty bushels,
it follows that the product will he from three
hundred to three hundred and fifty gallons of
syrup. This syrup, moreover, is said to sur
pass the beet, and even that Of sorghum in
decacy Of flavor. and in nearly all other
qualities which should commend it for use at
the table. The residum, after the Juice is ex-
tracted, is pronounced valuable article Of
food for either man or beast. In the Southera
States, where the yams grow almost spontan-
eously, the manufacture OF potato syrup
may be very proitably carried on, and if it
has the effect of cheapening sugar. the CON
sumers Of saccharlne at the North can have no
serious objection.

TRANsPLASTISG EvERGREESs.-We ALWAYS
transplant evergreen trees as early IN the
spring as the weather will permit We said
many years ago that the far too general prac-
tice Of transpanting evergrccns late in the
spring came into vogue through the discovery
that they could be safely moved later in the
season than deciduous trees, and not because
it was better time. Procrastination is the
bane of horticulture. and If a certain kind If
work can be put off week or month, there
are always those who will seek good excuse
for the act. Having tried both early and late
planting of evergrecns qHite extensively, and
during goodly number of years, we are de-
|cidcdly in favor of the earliest possible mo-
ment after the ground is in suitable condition
to work in the spring.-Rural Ne,c Yorker
