LOCATING FARM BUILDINGS.

Buildings being the most important per-
manent improvement that can be put mp
on the home farm, there should be special
pains taken in the location Of the same.
1t 8 not a difficult matter to find large
numbers OF husbandmen in any rural dis
trict who are dissatisfied with the con-
struction and situation of the dwellings,
barns, etc. Where buildings are to be
erected new, careful survey of the land
should be made, and such a point chosen
for the dwelling and its surroundings as
will be the most healthful, at the same
time convenient as to highway. aA.44 ses
We have known farmers to locate resi-.
dences upon low ground, when elevated
and desirable sites were abundant, SIM
ply because few fruit trees, and perhaps
a small barn had been put there unwisely
by some one years before. Others to con-
tinue residence where the first hut was
built when clearing the farm It should be
remembered that the health Of the house
hold is Of more importance than any con
sideration, that wherever the residence
and other farm buildings are located the
comforts of shade and fruit trees, under
the management of good farmers. will
soon grace and bless the locality with
plenty. s+ ia 81
After the best possible site has been
chosen for the residence, all things consid-
cred, the relative position of the outbuild-
ings next call for attention. We do not
believe in having them all in a huddle,
but would place the stock barn so that the
cowyard or stable would not be so far
away as to make the carrying of milk
task, or SO as to have to pass through tall
grass in summer or snowbanks in winter
to reach IT, The horse barn also should
be situated so that the stable door will
open into the barnyard or lane. for the
convenience of taking in or turning out
horses. The dairy house we would have
between the dwelling and COW barn. for
the convenience of both the mixers and
the housewife, and the other buildings at
such points as to be the most accessible
for the purposes designed.
Where buildings are already unhandily
located, we say, If means will permit
move them into desired positions. With
the present facilities for lifting and NOV
ing structures, the task is not arduous or
very expensive. One hundred dollars
expended in this will be returned in coz
venience, and the saving of labor In y
short time, and the farm, perhaps, en-.
hanced in value several times that amount
by the more attractive appearance given
it Ohio Farmer.

CHOLERA IN mURFREESBORO.

in Murfreesboro and vicinity directly after
our last issue. We made extensive INQUIRY
and were satisfied that there were no new
cases cf "the prevailing in or near town,
and from card from our physical s, which
appeared in our last issue, 1t is apparent
that they were also confident that there was
not, at that time, any cholera in the city,
and for the information of the public they
so expressed themselves. Mr.. Raymond,
however, who was suffering with disentery
by neglect and immudence caused his dis
ease to assume the type Of cholesa, of which
he died Friday morning. The other cases
that resulted fatally were reported after
our last issue. The following is the NOR
tuary report for the past week:

the county. Our physicians report that
there is a good deal of fluX prevailing in
the city and country.-MurJreeSborO Moni-

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Texas politi-
clans and federal officers are again assem-
bling in Washington. Gen, Jack Hamil-
ton, Postmaster Clarke, of Galveston, and
s. ate Senator S1Yler arrived yesterday, an d
Gov. Davis is expected from the North to-
morrow. Gov. Davis opponents state that
their presence at this time has no political
significance, but that the contest in Texas
is growing constantly more earnest and
spirited. Davis friends will make deter
mined effort to secure his nomination at the
State convention, which meets at Dallas on
the 10th of August, while the policy Of the
other wing of the party will be to adjourn
the convention without making nomina-
tion, ia order to profit by the division
which is expected in Democratic strength.
Throckmorton, on whom Davis opponents
are expected to consolidate their votes, de-
clnes to accept the nomination under any
circumstances, and no satisfactory substi-
tute has yet been provided. Apart from
personal qusrrels, the issues which will en-
ter into the canvass are the revival and
maintenance of the State credit, extension
of internal Improvements, and support of
the public school system ofthe State.
