FARM BUILDINGS.

Bro. l.. S. Coffin, of Fort Dodge, has
one of the most capacious and conven
lent stock barns to be found anywhere in
the state. 1t is built on n side hill so as
to allow basement stable aud raised
hay floor. 1t is eight sided; not quite
round. but as near to it as carpenters can
work conveniently. Each side is 30 feet,
and the distance across from side TO side
10 side is - feet. We think the post
are Is feet. aud to the apex of the roof is
nearly is feet above the basement wall.
The stable are arranged thus: They
reach clear round the outer walls, haeds
in towards the open feed floor. which is
a circle in the center about 50 feet in
diameter. The advantages OF this ar
ranyement are two fold: First. the hay
is thrown down in this central space. the
meal boxes are kept here and beneath il
is the root cellar. quite inside the struc-
ture and entirely frost proof; so all the
feeding is done with the greatest ease
and economy of labor. We NAV have
forgotten, but we believe there is also a
pump in this space which would be OF
great use in very stormy weather. The
second advantage is the convenience OF
cleaning out the droppings. The entrance
door is wide, so as to admit 4 team, and
the practice is to drive in with sled,
drive clear round. loading as the team
gees on. and then to haul the load direct
" TO the fields where the manureis ant

POETRY.
GRINDING THE GRAIN.

Two wheels lay hold with their iron teeth
And turn shaft that is hung beneath,
With a jumbling thump Of the tumbling bolt,
Like the awkward trot of barefoot colt;
In j.. aging glide are the leathern bands,
The hoppers Join with their palsied hands,
Forever spilling the grists Of grain
In rafting showers like frozen rain,
While face to face with its gritty mate
The milestone whirls with a grinding CRATE,
What might be laid in a castles wall
Is twirled like lady's parasol.
And out of the rock, as once OF old,
A streamlet flows in its white or gold
Busy as bees when the buckwheat blows
Are the little buckets that run in rows
Up stairs and down with sparrow's Welght'
The place is thrilled with rumbling tread,
The air is busy with the ghost OF bread
Dizzy and busy, above. below
Dydian river and fioury flow
Corn in gold and wheat in snow.

No plant seems to regard removal with
such apparent unconcern as the tube
rose, and gardeners who are aware OF
this fact turn it to advantage by digging
up aud potting all plants that show a
flower stem at the first appearance OF
frosty nights. They will then gradually
open out their fragrant creamy-Whlte
flowers successfully until Christmas.
ANY bright sunny window in a warm
room is sufficient to induce inflorescence,
and greenhouse can be made very beau
tiful by their use in early winter. when
flowers are usually very scarce.

CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF STOCK
IN WINTER,

Whatever our differences of opinion
in regard to the advantages OF close and
nearly air-tighl quarters for stock, there
is, among intelligent and practical men.
no dispute as to the great economy OF
providing proper shelter from storms.
As lumber is now very cheap, this may
be done ut very trifiing expense by US
ing pine boards for roofing, and by set
ting posts in the ground and boarding
up the sides. Very comfortable stables
and sheep houses may be constructed OF
plank. 1t would seem as if this cheap
and convenien. shelter was within the
reach OF all, as the expense would be
saved in feed the first winner There IS
we think, very little economy in allow
ing cattle to run loose in open sheds.
We waste too much room. II cattle are
kept within doors they should be tied
up. We use double stalls about seven

feed shock corn. hay, etc., (say two feet
high. and twenty inches wide.) and tie
with chains.
Some of our. shert-horn breeders, we
observe, have low manger-low enough
for cattle to get their feet into them.
This Is following the English practice.

The perplexing difficulty of obtaining
suitable men to serve as Judges tor
awarding the premiums is better solved
bv the managers OF the New York State
Fair than any others of which | have
heard. Their practice for some years
past has boen to select the very best men
to be found in any part OF the country, who
are known as experts in the particular
line desired, and write to each month
or so before the fair. inviting him to
come and serve, promising payment OF
his railroad fare and five dollars for ho-
tel expenses, and asking whether the
invitation is accepted. In this way
enough of first rate men are secured at
least to serve rs chairmen OF the differ
ent awarding committees, and the va
cancies are easily filled at the fair; then
the work is we'll and promptly done,
and much dissatisfaction is avoided.

a Triumph over IHumbug.

1t is not difficult to alarm the timid,
and invalids are proveibially 50. Aware
of this fact, the venders OF pseudo bitters
" "entirely free from alcohol" " have raised
false cry against tonic preparations
containing spirits, and no doubt have
frightened a few sick folks into purchas-
ing the fermented rubbish which they sell
and which is infinitely more injurious
than the vilest drains drunk at tavern
bars. But already tremendous reaction
has sci in against these abominabe nos
trums, which, being devoid of the alco-
holic basis which alone prevents liquid
botanic preparations from turning sour,
decompose almost as soon ms made. Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters has lived and
will live down multitudes of such impos
lures. A regular recurrence of the de-
mand for the great Alternative invigorant
from those who have always been its pa
irons, shows that they have not swerved
in their time e-honored allegiance to Amer
ica's most popular remedy and con-
slant influx OF new orders demonstrates
how little impression, after all, the blat-
ant denunciations of the mock bitters
men have made upon the general public.
SO long as lIostetter's Bitters continue to
cure and prevent intermittent and remit
tent fevers, dyspepsia, constipation, kid
ney disease, and the numerous other all
ments to which they are adapted, they
will continue to dominate the lactious OPP
position of humbugs, and that will be
just as long as they are manufactured
and sold. Be it known unto all bogus
nostrum venders, of every degree Of au-
dacity and knavery, that they can never
hope to puff themselves into public favor
at the expense OF Hostetter's Bitters, the
reputation of which is founded, as it
were, upon rock. feb NJ

FATAL MINING ACCIDENT.--Und
the old system Of gouging and caving
deep banks, miners took many chances
for loss of life or limb, mining accidents
were frequent and it was a matter of
no surprise TO learn of the disabling or
killing Of one or more men in mining
claim. But Of late years the old system
has been superseded by improvements
which render life in the mines more stable
and for several years past accidents of
this character have been of compara-
lively rare occurrence. 1t was with con-
siderable surprise, therefore, that we
learned on Wednesday evening that
German named Frederick Mufller, work
ing for the Weaverville d. & H. NJ. Co.
in the Ware Mine on Sydney Hill, had
been caved on. The circumstances are
briefly these: Mutiler was at work in
cut, about ten feet deep, when lump of
dirt weighing probably 200 pounds, fell
from the side of the cut, above his head,
and striking him on the shoulder threw
him to the ground on the opposite side of
the cut the dirt. however, not falling on
him, except his foot, which was soon ex-
tricated. lie was conveyed to the house
near the claim and, although frightened,
insisted that he was not much hurt, and
thought there was no necessity for doc
tor. But others had DR.. Lord summoned
and upon examination it was found that
no bones had been broken and only
slight bruise on the shoulder. Mufller
did not seem to feel badly and it was sup
posed that nothing serious would result
from the accident. He must, however,
have sustained severe internal injuries, as
he expired in about five hours after the
accident. Mr.. MuAer was a native of
Baden, Germany, aged 81 years, and
came to this county about year ago,
from Iuba county. His remains were
inferred Thursday afternoon, by Beacon
Lodge, No. 800, l. o. G. T., of which he
was member.
