Dark Barns.
Vermont Chronicle

vermont Chronicle
A writer in an exchange says upon
this subject: II have often thought, as
| have been in different barns, that their
owners deeds, in them, at least, must
be evil, for they seem to prefer dark
ness to light, In this neighborhood
there are four barns that | thought |
would 60 and measure, and see how
much glass there was in them In the
smallest there is none, and as the cracks
are well covered, no matter how cold it
is they have to leave the doors open to
see while doing chores. The others are
larger, one forty by forty, with nine
square feet of glass; one sixty by forty,
also with nine square feet The other
is sixty by thirty four, and is lighted by
the open door and numerous wide cracks,
some OF them measuring an inch and IA
quarter When my father built our
barn, he put in over sixty square feet,
and a year ago he put in ten and one
half feet more in the west end, so that
the sun could come upon the sheep. We
are not troubled with an abundance of
light, and | don't think the stock are,
for | notice that the sheep and lambs
take particular pains to stand where the
sunlight will fall on them" This is a
matter Of vastly more Importance than
tome farmers think. Animals, no more
than vegetables, can thrive in the dark.
Our long winters are sufficiently trying
to the constitutions of our farm stock,
under the best of circumstances, and an
animal upon which the sun scarcely
shines at all for five or six months will
come out in the spring in bad state of
health, even though the feed, and the
ventilation, and the the temperature
have been all right. The sun is the
great life giver.

Feeding Swine In Summer,

Now the true way to fattcn pigs, at
any season of the year, is to give por-
ton of coarse food, such us turnips, car
rots, beets, potatoes, cooked clover hay
or grass the last being the natural food
Of the pig, and in summer always at
hand While in cold weather it is nee
essary to resort to roots, which have re-
quired manual labor to grow, in summer
the pig can get its own grass, and only
requires moderate allowance of grain
to keep it growing rapidly and have it
ready for the knife when grass ceases to
grow. If we take all the hogs fattencd
in st the ~ United 8 States IN year, and
to warm, one-half of the grain now fed
will make all the pork. This would be
saving of food, at least, to the
amount Of $75,o00,00 per year.-Somh-
cyn Farmer.

Fun on the Farm.
MoOre's Rural New Yorker.

A"ociO o lSuioi A>CN LOIhSi.
We often hear the remark What a
dull life farming must be" or, Who
would live in the country, where there
are no opportunities for fun?" Well,
then, if you want to know what genuine
fun is, just pitch in and help break a
pair of three-year-old steers. First you
catch steer and tie him up by the head
to a post in the barn-yard Then you
catch the other one and put rope
around his horns. Then your dad gets
the yoke, and between you two and the
hired man, you get it fastened on their
necks. Then the old man tells you to
unite the rope gently, while he and the
hired man holds the critters. Just as
you slip the knot, away go the steers
with bawl and bellow-or rather a
pair of bellows sand there arises before
your vision confused mixture of horns,
heels, tails, ropes, dad, hired man and
curses on your stupidity, that reminds
you OF the picture of volcanic erup-
ton in the old biographies. And that's
only the beginning of the fun. BY and
by dad gets hold of one rope and the
hired man gets hold of the other. and
run races down the lane-the steers
neck and neck, and the old man per-
forming the curse on the serpent Then
there is the time in haying, when dad
undertakes to show you how to NOW
over Il humble bees nest. He amt
'fraid o these bees, you needn't bc-jest
go right along-they never sting unless
you fight EN-; and then "whish!' get
o the way! and dads swath comes to a
sudden stop and he departs for the
house and hartshorn on u dead run at
the business end of Il dozen yellow leg
ged humble bees. Oh, no! there ism t
any fun on the farm!

SETTING Strawberry PLANTS. "A
correspondent of the Rural NeU Yorker
describes his method of setting straw
berry plants, by which he did not lose
300 out of 10000 plants. After having
selected hardy plants, he placed them in
a pail and covered the roots with water.
He planted them as soon as possible,
taking them singly from the pail. His
instrument was planting trowel. He
had also found this method successful
in planting seedlings, evergreens and
small plants.

An old Highlander, rather fond of his
toddy, was ordered by his physician, du

one ounce of spirits daily. The old gen

and asked his son, schoolboy, how
much an ounce was. Sixteen drachms

Paris Green in the Orchard.

Some time since an inquiry was made
as to whether there is any way to de-
stroy the canker worm on apple trees
Four years ago they attacked my or
chard by millions, and few days after
it looked at distance as if fire had
passed through the branches a leaf
left. In the orchard had about one
hundred and fifty trees, twenty years
old. | had taken great pains with my
trees, and they did extremely well up to
this time | felt almost discouraged,
and knew of no remedy. After time
the trees all leaved out again, but grew
very little that season. The following
season the trees were loaded with these
pests by billions, so that if one passed
under the trees he would be covered
with the destroyers and their threads,
which hang down with a worm at its end
about as thick as the warp Of open
gauze; on these threads they swing as
pendulum, when the wind blows, and by
this means pass ON to the next tree if
near enough. This time, too, they left
scarcely a leaf, and then Disappeared
The trees leaved out again but looked
weakly and grew but little The third
season | was on the lookout As the
trees leaved | found them again covered.
| could stand it no longer, but declared
war, bought hand-pump and five dol
lars worth of Paris green, put kero-
scne barrel into my wagon, filled it with
water added one tablespoonful of green
to a pailful, gave it a good stirring, had
man to drive around under the trees
and keep the mixture well stirred; then
| took the pump and sprinkled about a
pail evenly as possible on each tree. On
the second day after operated a second
time with "A weaker solution and less
quantity, as | found their number but
few and these not in good health. The
past season | kept a good lookout, but
failed to find one | also have other or
chards, but so far have not been troub-

& Few Words Of Wisdom

For all who are seeking new
homes IN the West. If you are 60
ing to change your location, by all
means you should keep on about the
''same latitude" as where you for
merly lived, for in this way you
will escape the severe climatic
changes in the weather incident to
the extreme North or South, having
none of these things to contend
with, yourself and family are healthy
and you become a producer at once,
consequently soon independent on
the other hand should you listen to
the many glowing accounts of the
sunny South, or the mild climate OF
the North, and thus be induced to
try your fortunes there, you will
find tho reality 10 not all your fancy
painted 1T. IF you go South it
usually takes about two years to
get acclimated to the climate, du-
ring which time, not being able to
work, yourself and family are con-
sumers, besides being constantly
exposed TO the malarial fevers
which abound there, and the expe-
rience of many is they return dis
couraged, leaving not a few loved
ones beneath the sod in the sunny
South. Therefore, in going West
keep on about the same latitude
which will insure health and happi-
ness. There are most excellent
lands in Northern Missouri on the
line of the Hannibal & st. 10. r.

Colorado, ''just as cheap and good
