TOPICS FOR FARMERS.
Rat.Proor GranarIes IT, c.,

Rat-PrOOf Granaries.-The German.
town Ictegr0ph says that every farmer
understands the Importance of having
rat and mouse proof granaries, as few
have not, at times, suffered severely
from the depredatiOns of these destruc-
tive pests. We have (but years apo).
on one or two occasions, alluded TO this
matter, and gave directions for con
structing granaries that would resist all
attempts at entrance. The following
from an old correspondent, would seem
TO be all that IL necessary i'm construct
ing rat-proof granaries:
The lumber for the floor below and
above, as well As for the sides, must be
OF hemlOck, one and one-fourth inch
thick, seasoned, planed and matched
the JOists for the lower floor two by ten
OF any durable wood; the studding of
the sides hemlock Lay the floor per
iectly level. Take four pieces of two
by four scantling, the length of each
side oil the room, and dress: make a
groove near the upper side, near the
outer edge, To- receive the tongue Of the
first board Of the ceiling, the ceiling to
be put up tongue down, and nailed
through both edges, Just beneath the
tongue and grooves. Miter the ends of
these scantlings. and nail firmly TO the
hoOr. Erect at each corner TWO pieces
OF like scantling, the sides of which
have been squared, perpendicular to the
scantling on the floor; carry up TO the
top OF the ioists above on which Law the
upper floor. Never cell below these
joisls. Make the door to slide and fit.
and then you may bid rats and mice TO
do their best and their worst. Ventila-
ton may be given through the door at
top and bottom, protected with a strong
wire SCREEN"
The foregoing directions seem to be
simple and plain. and can be followed
by any carpenter WHO'S at all acquainted
with his business, at an expense not
more than the damage that NAV be
sometimes done in a single year.

Was Macmillan "A Hero!

The romance which hung around the
story of Macmillan and Carlotta is
somewhat rudely dispelled by I'm
Essai d'Empire au Mexique," by NJ.
Masseras, former editor of the Coury,cy
des Etdts Unis, who is acquainted with
all the facts from actual observation.
lie states that Macmillan was IA pitifullv
weak and frivolous mana thing which
we find it easy to believe from his photo
graphs-that he was given up to the
consideration of petty detailsof etiquette
ana Ilveries; that he hated the affairs
OF state, and had horror of work: that
he drank to excess, was vacillating and
capricious, in short, the architect of his
own ruin. Carlotta, he shows, had lost
her mind before her husbands trouble
began. The real tragedy was putting
these two incapables on such throne az
that of Mexico.
