Hints About Rarn.Ruilding.

The number of acres in farm has much to
do in helping to form an idea of what the size
of barn ought to be to meet the require
ments. On an extensive farm or plantation,
upon which one raises large crops, and where
stock of all kinds are raised and fed in great
numbers, a barn of considerable extent is
necessary; but where farm is small and lit.
tie stock is raised, small barn will answer
When all the stock is stabbed, and as much
food as will be required to feed 1t through tie
winter is stored in the barn, one good hand
Is all the farmer need employ during the win
ter; whereas II the feeding is done out of
doors, and the feed is hauled every morning,
more hands will be required to help do the
work, and, as matter OF course, the nav
extra hands receive is SO much money
thrown away, as far as ever receiving any
benefit from it is concerned.
In building barn, it is best to select q sit
uation where the benefit or advantage of a
little hillside or bank can be had. as a good
basement floor can then be easily made, and
consequently considerably more room gained
than is possible where barn is built on level
ground. The hillside or bank selected should
slope toward the east or south, so that the
entrence to the basement story may be on
the sunney side, as the door from it should
open into small stock yard. No certain
plan upon which to build barn is necessary
to be described here, as there are various
ways of putting up such buildings, and any
farmer can easily decide what size and shape
will best suit him. 1t is always advisable,
however, to put up as large and substantial a
building-adopting some well-known plan
that has been satisfactorily tested-as the
farmers means will allow without running
too much into debt.
1t is not really necessary that small farm
should have small barn; as when the pro-
prietor Of a farm not very extensive in area,
has money ahead, or. what is the same, good
credit for buying anything ne wants on time,
he can make it quite profitable to build q
large barn, and buy hay, grain &C., by the
quantity, and feed it. In ALMOST every neigh
borhood there are some farmers who inyari-
ably sell the most of their corn, cats and hay,

HARDY AnnIea

We have taken some pains to collect infor-
nation relative to those fruits which will en-
dure the winters where they are the most
severe in the northern portions Of the Union,
as in Wisconsin and the adjacent regions, and
in Northern Vermont, New Hampshire and
Maine. DR. Hoskins of Newport, Vermont,
where the cold is sometimes sufficient to
freeze the mercury in the thermometer bulb,
says that he finds the following varieties of
the apple quite hardy, namely; Tetofsky,
ripening in August; Duchess of Oldenburg,
in September; Alexander. in October and
November; Wealthy, in mid-winter; Pave
kee, in late winter and spring, and Magog
Red Streak also keeping till spring, and Scott's
Winter, into June. Both the last originated
in Northern Vermont, and the Magog Red
Streak is described by Charles Downing in
his second appendix, published in 1876.
Some sorts reported quite hardy in other To-
calities, are more or less injured, among
which are Red Astrachan, Ben Davis, Blue
Pearmain, Tallman Sweeting and Westfeld

be so arranged and constructed that the least

Vegetables In Cellars.

An exchange says that such vegetables as
beets, turnips, cabbage, &C., should never be
kept in the house cellar, as they frequently
decay and cause serious illness. This is true,
if they are carelessly thrown in uncovered
heaps on the cellar bottom, but there is no
necessity for such mismanagement. A veg
etable cellar, which should always be sepa-
rate apartment from the fruit room and from
the room where cooked food is kept, should
be as neat as a parlor, and all vegetables
should not only be stored in clean boxes or
barrels, but they should be imbedded in pull
verized moss, which will not only paeserve
their freshness but prevent all bad odors.
Clean damp sawdust will do in place of moss,
if the packages are not large. Potatoes do
not need Isuch packing, but they should be
placed in clean boxes, ventilated at bottom,
and well covered from the light at the top

Value of OvefsiRhs.

The time OF commencing to farm In the
United States Is altogether wrong, as any
one may see by few Minutes reflection.
This time Is the spring, and the farmer who
commences must work with his men, and of
course be constantly on his farm. If he
wants seed, grain Or tools, he goes to the viii
lage store and obtains them from the store
keeper; If he wants mich COW, another
horse or a yoke of oxen, there will be a
dr0ver or trader recommended to get them
for him, and thus he is enabled to continue
on the farm and labor all the while. If the
customary time of entering on farms was in
the autumn, the farmer could 60 around and
look up the kind of animals he needs, and by
attending auction sales, and witnessing the
buying and selling and the weighing of COWS,
sheep, &C., he would become posted, and
would save good DEAL Thousands of farm
ers make slaves of themselves doing as much
as two laborers would do if left to themselves,
and by working with the men, get a deal
more labor out of them. The middlemen,
who handle his produce, and the men who
buy and sell what he ought to purchase and
dispose of himself, take great deal more
than is gained by the extra labor and constant
oversight.
1t is easy to avoid the necessity for the un-
abated vigilance considered SO essential, by
having all the work done by the job. Corn
can be cut up at SO much per acre, husking
at so much per bushel &C., and then farm
er has only to see the work is done in prop
er manner, and he can go about his business
whenever he finds il profitable to 60. BY
looking after his stock closer, noting the
every day wants of his sheep and other cattle
and other animals, land watching how circum-
stances revuire changes of pasture and per-

The Rural World gives statement where
strawberry bed was destroyed by mulching
with rye straw four inches thick, resulting in
the destruction of the young plants by mice
and rotting. Cultivators should understand
that the green plants and green leaves are
easily smothered in winter, and the straw
covering should let in some light as well as
air. The editor of that paper remarks that
after cultlvating Strawberries by the acre for
a quarter of century, and the mulching
case ever occurred where plant was lost by
mulching, and often the crop was doubled,
as compared with exposed plants. A cor
respondent of that paper mulches with corn
stalks run through cu.ting-machine, and
these answer an excellent purpose, and may
remain on the beds in spring. 1t Is always
safe to apply the mulch to the plants after
the ground has frozen,

A good bed for the horse, COW and other
stock kept housed during the winter, goes
much farther towards saving feed, and keep
ing stock thriving and comfortable, than
large class OF farmers and Others are willing to
allow. Four tons Of fodder will more than
equal five tons, where damp, scanty bedding,
and hard, cold, uncomfortable standing places
only, are provided. There are very few farm
ers who cannot provide with little difficulty
or expense. plenty of litter to give their stock
good, comfortable beds through the usual sea-
son of necessary shelter and stabling. There
Is usually refuse fodder, straw, and much
other matter which may be thus utilized and
made into manure By this process; forest
leaves and muck are at his command very fire.
quently, where the disposition is not wanting,
but the whole involves some labor. What Is
there which is connected with the farm that
does not involve labor? The coarse refuse
fodder needs to be cut, or In some way made
fine, before going into the manure heap.
This cutting may be made light matter
where the will Is not wanting. For cornstalks,
block and part of an old scythe with wood
handle affixed to one end, will make short
work where any more economical implements
and then be housed conveniently for use.
Straw and olher long litter should be made
shorter in some way, before passing into the
manure heap, for ease in handling. Fine
sand makes good bedding material, where
1t Is to be had conveniently, and makes good
dressing for any heavy soil, Sawdust makes
about as comfortable bed as anything, but
all may not be able to procure it as needed.
Sawdust very frequently is allowed to 60 to
waste at the mills, or is used as fuel, but the
farmer could afford to pay its fuel value,
where within reasonable distance Of his
place, for bedding 1t makes neat,
clean bedding material when well dried,
and applied judiciously. 1t should be confined
within the standing or lying space of the stock
by suitable cleats or partitions, and be spread
two to four inches deep, and when wet must be
removed to be mixed with the droppings of
The stock. Sawdust furnishes a most agree
able and refreshing standing bed for tired
teams, cooling and soothing the feverish
and hard used feet, to greater extent than
any other common bedding. It will not re.
quire large amount for single animal, so
that the storage room need only be proper
toned to the number OF animals, or to the
available supply. I have known farmers
haul sawdust five to eight miles for bedding
in the horse stable, and they thought it a
good investment. Tive horses will haul as
| large load as can well be put on any COM
| mon wagon, with boards and stakes to con-
| fine it.
