HUMOROUS.

Nor Al HoME. "A sign OH Crog-

washing Is done there, and II was quite
natural that a mechanic working near
by should take bundle under his arm
and call there and ask of the boy on the
step:
Bub, is the washwoman IMP"
" No, sir"' was the prompt reply
" there's no washwoman lives here at
all"
But the sign says Washing done
here, remarked the man.
"'SpOse 1t does z" remarked the boy
In a higher key" 'spOse it does? A
lady may become the victim of unfor-
tunate circumstances to such an ex-

Humph if you draw a buggy down

fortunate circumstances, go around to

BARNs.-In building barns the wants
of no two farms will be found alike.
One should make up his mind rs to the
size OF barn and price, and not run be-
yond his means. He should have "A
systematic arrangement before com
mencing To build. 1t is estimated that
a farm of 100 acres would cut 100 tons
OF hay. How large u barn should that
farm have. One ton of hay is equal to
GOO cubic feet, so the 100 tons would re-
quire 6O, 600 cubic feet. There should
be bay 60 feet long, 40 feet wide and
20 feet high. In addition we should
wantroom for grain, driveways, thresh-
ing floor, &c. This would require n
barn l2O feet long, 40 feet wide and %
ieet high of post, with a basement OF
stone well ventilated. Some think cat
tie would be better off I'm a boarded
basement. Never store manure i'm the
barn with cattle or under them. Ii
should be kept in a separate shed, to
which ii should be hauled every day {:
or IL could be corded up. Construct

DOM ESTIC.

ALUM IN BREAD.--A nuisance that
troubled Europe fifty years ago Is be-
ginning TO attract attention here-that
rs, putting alum In the bread we eat.
The bread must be light that IL may
be digCsted; that Is, IL must be filled bv
the well-known cells we are accustomed
TO see I'm II. Where beer or ale is brewed
those who understand healthy bread
making procure yeast, which Eight
ems y the bread better than any suDsti-
tute, and Is wholesome. Where yeast Is
not readily To be obtained, baking
powders are resorted to, and out OF
them comes mischief. Bicarbonate of
soda and cream of tartar, or tartaric
acid, are the usual constituents of a
good baking powder. Cream of tartar
sells from sixty cents to eIghty-tive
cents pound. This high price has
led cheap baking powders to be
made OF alum, as "a substitute for some
or all of the cream of tartar. Alum will
make bread look winter. so that bakers
can make an inferior flour salaDle as
bread by its use; and they use It, in
some places calling 1t" rock :" so that
no inadvertent expression may let
" outsiders know that alum is used.
Alum is an injurious article To the HUI
man constitution i'm large quantities, or
~ Slhdii QUANTITIES often repeated. IL
IS the small quantities, taken every
meal, that do the mischief in bread.
Alum is cheap three cents "a pound
To the pocket, but it takes what is so
saved out of the stomach, and takes it
with fearful Interest. Alum is an as
tringent, and is used by dyers and
others as such. Taken frequently on
the human stomach IL produces heart
burn, Indigestion, gripping, constIpa-
tlon, dyspepsia and Kindred troubles
resulting from irritation of the mucous
membrane, produced by the astringent
properties of alum. All these are
nice things TO be inflicted by the bread
eaten morning, noon and evening. TO
young children, growing girls, persons
OF weakly frame and sedentary occupa-
lions this alum bread is poison more
especially. If the reader wants to
know something of alum let him suck
lump OF it, notice its effect upon the
mouth, which is something like that of
an unripe persimmon then let him re-
hect how 1t acts upon the tender, deli
cate coats OF the stomach. DR.. Henry
a. Mott, the celebrated analytical
chemist, analysed twenty-three of the
baking powders most in use, and found
alum IN every one of them. 1t is time
we took measures to stop this bread
poisoning that kills our little ones and
perpetuates dyspepsia and cholera.

was furnished for weaving pigs bv a
New Jersey farmer: When the pigs are
OF the proper age to be taken from the
SOW shut them up in the pen I'm the
morning; let them out little while at
noon and again ateYening. The second
day let them out only at morning and
evening, keeping them up at night.
On the third day let them out at noon
Tor the last time. While doing this let
them have all the slop they want. but
refuse the mother everything except
scant feeds Of corn and water. This
Will insure the sOw's drying up at once
and without any evil effect.
