SOD POULTRY HOUSE.
The Poultry World thus describes such
house:
''These sod buildings are constructed In
portions of the West, where lumber is very
scarce and prices high. The sods are cut
up by plow into strips two inches thick,
and are then cut about a foot square, tor
building. One side OF the turf, of course,
has the stubble, but that is hidden, as the
soas lie flat. The roof is made pretty flat,
with the sods placed over wooden rafters,
the latter being first covered with brush or
sunflower stalks. This takes about tour
layers Of the material, making the average
thickness of~the root eight inches. Joints
are broken at the roof, SO as to make 1t
tight. There is but one story, and the sods
are filled up to the gable, as bricks would
be. Windows are few, and, of course, set
ON the inside wall. Such q house makes d
warm henhery in the winter season ana
cool one during the heated term" VI.

First-The seed may be poor and but
small proportion grow; hence by starting
them thus, long vacant spaces are avoided
in the plantation, and every foot of ground
is made to coHnt any pay. .r. ....
Second-The onions will be ready for
early pulling to sell in bunshes about as
soon as ''set' onions.
Third-No matter how short the season is
every onion will get ripe. ,.s
Fourth--It is less labor, because it saves
the tedious, laborious work of hand weed
ing and thinning and transplanting to fill
up vacancies, and as the soil is freshly pre-
pared when they are transplanted, they
grow right ahead and get the start of all
weeds. Some may say it is as much work
to transplant them as to finger pick. This
is a mistake, for the work Of transplanting
IS done very rapidly when the ground is
fresh and in the right condition, finely pull
verified, etc. just as fast as a person can
stick their finger into the soil and withdraw
it the work can be done; while il you are
hand wedding, many times the weeds are
fine and, too, hide the onions SO that it i,

SEVERAL years ago there was much said
about growing potatoes under straw, and
we published at the time several reports
from those who had tried the method with
success. Interest in the subject appears to
be renewed, to judge from inquiries. The
nethud is very simple. The land is prepar-
ed in the usual manner and the rows mark
ed off; the sets are dropped along the rows
and very slightly or not at all covered with
soil. The whole field, or bed, is then cover
cred with eight or ten inches thickness OF
old straw. Nothing more is required until
digging time, unless some strong weeds
should make their way through the straw,
and these may be pulled. Itis claimed that
the yield is larger and the potatoes are
much hanasomer than those treated in the
usual way.-American Ag1iculturist.

In a late copy Of The London Times was
printed report by Mr.. Griffin of the British
statistical Bureau, in which he said thai
British farmers have lost by bad harvests
during each of the last tour years $70,-
OOO, 900. The loss from disease among live
stock has been $50 ,0O0, 900, and the loss from
rise III price OF labor another $2O,UOO, 600,
making in all $l2O, 100000. Added to this,
the lowness OF prices has caused loss OF
$4,000, 900 a year. Altogether British farm
ers have lost not less than $500, 100000 in
the four years. This is believed to be equal
to one-third of the capital OF the British
farmers. The size OF the sum lost is an ah-
swer to those who think that the depression
among the farmers might haye been cared
by increasing the cost OF foreign food. HE
Toronto Globe says on this point that 10
have taxed The manufacturing Interests IN
order to make up this enormous loss would
have completely crippled foreign trade, and
have rendered the depression worse than
ever, 5-.zs.

Fire in Cheshire.

A Dwelling and Two Barns Destroyed-
 Carriages, Hay and Grain Consumed.
 On Tuesday night about 12 o'clock fire
 supposed to be of incendiary origin, broke
 out in one of the barns of William Bradley, in the northern part of Cheshire. The flames spread rapidly owing to the quantity
 of hay in the barn, and it was soon burned
 to the ground. From this building the fire
 communicated to another barn close by, and
 owing to the large amount of hay in that also
 the building was entirely destroyed. In the
 meantime what few neighbors there were liv-
 ing near assembled and did everything they
 could to save the property. What little
 ter there was on the premises the neighbors
 used as effectively as possible on the house,
 toward which the flames from the
 two burning barns were spreading.
 Finally the two story wooden dwelling in which Mir. Bradley and his family lived was caught by the flames and that, too was en- tirely consumed. Before the fire reached the dwelling house nearly all the furniture in it was removed. The danger which threatened ! the house was such that the inmates had timely warning to take everything out. A tool house containing farm and other tools was burned up as was granary which stood very near the tool house. The only wooden building on the premises that was not burned I was the hennery, and that stood so far away | from the burning building that the flames l could not reach it.. The heads of cattle and l several horses which were in the two barns were out by the neighbors and saved. The number of tons of hay destroyed are es- timated by MT. Bradley at about seventy five Two new carriages, POO shocks of grain, many l farming utensils and three hogs con- stunned by the fire. The loss is estimated at ! about $9,OOo. The insurance amounts to 1 $S, 400. This is the fourth time in five years { that 8 fire has occurred on this farm and \ makes the sixth barn that has been burned. l had not been dried up the fire would not | have proven so destructive The place is 1 known as the old Levi Br adIey farm
