AGRICULTURAL.


A correspondent writes the Indiana
Farmer: have noticed an article going
the rounds Of the papers advocating ce'
ment for pig,pcnS, which ] concnr in.
But why stop with the pig-pen2 ! have
n pig-pen twenty.-iX feet by thirty.iour
feet, with n paved and cemcnted floor
also ] have n barn forty by sixty,f0ur
feet square, and the whole Of the base
ment paved and ccmcnted. The stables
have been in use for five years, and are IN
wgoOd condition now ~ when new, Now,
brother farmers, ! will give my plan for
making this kind Of floor, In the first
place, remove the surface dirt until you
get n good, solid bed then spread coarse
sand or gravel over the surface, from two
10 four inches dcep, according TO the
aizc Of the stones you have 10 use to
pave with, Commence and lay theoutcr
lines, making allowance for the fall you
may want in your floors, After getting
the out.r lines, keep II straight edge by
you, and pound every stone into your
bed until il scLs solid and the surIace IL
even ar in line. gave my floor from
three 10 four inches fall to twelve feet,
from my mangcr back.
After the stones are all set ~ above
stated, take Of good water lime one
part, and Of clear COargc sand four
parts mix thoroughly white dry, and
then wet until it will run like thin por-
ridge then pour it in and fill all the
creVices until nearly TO the top OF the
stones, After that is vet, take Of cement
n part and sand three parts make a
mortar 80 thin that it can be easily
spread. Lay il on even and smooth until
IL IL about one inch thick. After the
pInsLcring IL dawn shut out the light
and wind, and let the work Of drying be
gradual If the weather IL warm and
dry sprinkling every two or three days,
or, rtllI better, n light coat OF straw
dampcned would prevent il getting dry
zoo soon, The fore part of the season IL
best for stables, ~ they will be hard as
stone by fall it treated right. some
may think these floors expensive, but
where stone and gravel are handy they
cost but little more tnan wood, and the
advantage is 20 much that it can hardly
he estimated. First, there Is no harbor
for rats and mice no waste OF manure;
no plank to break or injurc stock no
freezing OF manure it cleaned out in the
morning; in durability, no end
For horse stables, lay plank seven feet
long in stalls, and you are all right.

How 10 Keep Apples.

Use great care in picking them from
the tree, and when transferring them
from the basket 10 the barrel handle
them like eggs. Get the best granulatcd
sugar barrels to keep them in, and when
the barrels are full cover them with thick
paper to keep them from the air. Then,
with a barrcI.headcr press the heads in,
and keep them out OF the cellar as late
IA you can without having them freeze.
Put them in the dryest and coolest part
Of the cellar, and raise them from the
ground three feet or more on kids, and
do not open or disturb them until they
are wanted ,lor use. II exposed to the
air by opening the barrel to pick them
over, some Of the apples will rot and

ten to eleven o'clock, but the remainder of
the morning it exercised more discretion.
We have not experienced such rain since

channels of the streams to overhowing, and
washed the lands considerably. We have
not heard of any serious disasters resulting,
with the exception of the removal Of Uncle

now running orderly, and doing more than
ordinary work for the number of laborers
engaged They have about fifty hands en-
ployed, and bale daily from one hundred

superior quality, just as good as could be
desired. 1tNis being sold in different por-
