Cheap shelters for Cattle.

\ farmer in New York writes: Ii is very
poor policy to defer preparing suitable shell
ter until winter comes, with the thought
that there will be more time after the falls
work is done, for before that time stock will
have suffered great deal from cold storms
and frosty nights. We know that mankind
are about as susceptible to the first cold DAYS
OF autumn as to the much lower tempera-
ture of winter, which the system is graiu-
ally prepared to endure. Although a farm
stead looks more attractive with fine,
clap-bOarded, painted barns with warm dry
Easements for stabllng the stock, or warm
sheds on solid walls-and these are undoubt-
edly more economical in the long run-yet
II farmers pecuniary circumstances will
not warrant the outlay cheaper substitutes
can be put up for temporary use. We have
known very comfortable sheds made by
stacking straw upon strong poles supported
by posts. if the sheds are protected on three
sides by straw, with the open side near
the barn, they may be quite warm. In such
a shed stock should be tied up, or a few of
the stronger will take possession ard drive
out the weaker. Quite a Lassable cattle
stable may be built with rough boards by
boarding up inside also and filling i'm between
with straw To save lumber quite large
spaces may be left between the inside boards
IL boards are used for the roof considerable
care is necessary in battening the joints to
prevent leakage In all cases where the
earth forms the hoor straw should be liberal
" used for litter. The warmth Of such a
shed will be greatly increased by banking up
the outside with earth, leaving a shallow
ditch to carry of the drippings from the
roof. A farmer Of ordinary skill and a small
outlay for rough lumber can build very good
buildings for other stock than cattle. He can
make a good pig sty for his swine, shed for
his sheep, and house for his poulty Al
though these homemade outhouses may not
be very ornamental in themselves vet their
manifest adaptation to their proposes

comfortable, and, consequently more attrac-

sive to construct. The next best form is a
cylinder. Practically, however. an inverted
truncated cone will give all the advantages
Of the cylindrical form with the further ad-
vantage Of being more economical in con-
struction and in keeping in repair. The
worst possible form is a cubical or square
ice-hOuse, for the corners of the ice in such
a house viii always melt away and leave the
mass of ice round The large amount of
water which penetrates the ice in such an
ice-house make it porous and il rarely
happens that a square iee-house. unless
very large and deep, will keep ice through
out the summer. In our climate. ice-houses
are rarely built above ground. The hes.

soils and Seasons Afreet ouaIlty in Grapes,

Perhaps no fruit varies more in the quail
ity of its flavor, as affected by location and
the season, than does the grape. The same
variety which is rich and luscious in one
place, is poor and tasteless in another. The
Concord is fine grape in Southern New
jersey, but inferior in the northern part of
the State; it is large and rich when grown
on the shay banks of the lakes OF Western
New York, but small and insipid on the clay
soil at the foot of some of these lakes. On
the best of soils marked difference is made
inthe character OF the grape by the season.
A summer rich in sunshine and free from
prolonged rains, and periods of cloudy
weather, with late and beautiful fall
will produce grapes of a quality that
is never seen in ordinary seasons
Even the most common varieties attain
a sweetness and flavor, which rank them
with the better kinds I'm such a year, the
Concord contains a double mouthful--one in
the pulp, and one in the skin. The Catawba
grows almost as dark as the Isabella, and the
Diana colors perfect purple and loses en-
tirely the peculiar 'eatty'' flavor Of other
seasons.

Distinguished Characters of Different

feet. In the bottom Of this sink well six
feet deep and five feet in diameter for the
purpose of catching the water from the melt
ed ice. Over this well lay slabs OF white oak
or other hard wood, with the bark taken of
and the rounded surface turned uppermost.
Poles sixteen feet long and from five to six
inches at the larger ends are set up against
the walls OF the ice-house, the smaller ends
being turned downward The slOping sides
of the ice-hOuse and the tapering poles make
beautiful MT, and after the poles are adjust
ed the house will resemble a large churn
turned bottom upward. If desired, a few
large hoops may be nailed TO the poles above
and below. The poles, however, will
retain their positions without the
hoops over the house a square
pen or frame work three feet high should be
erected and covered with a projecting roof.
The earth should be thrown against the sides
of the house until there IS slope outward
in every direction. This will prevent the
roof water from running into the ice-house.
Cutters for carrying Off this roof water
would be better and keep the earth near the
pen from becoming saturated with water.
The ends of the superstructure should be
weatherbOarded up. but slated windows in
both ends would be advantageous in per-
uniting the hot air to escape. A large door
should be constructed in one end, so as to
permit the ready housing of the ice. In
putting up ice, the first thing to be done is
TO throw down straw enough in the bottom
to cover the slabs two or three inches deep,
after it is compressed by the weight of the
ice. Straw must be kept also next to the
sides so that the ice will nowhere come in
contact with the wood. When the ice-house
shall have been filled on a level with the
top of the ground, several wagon loads of
straw should be used in covering it, If the
entire roof is filled with straw it will be all
the better, though the ice will keep well if
only third of the roof is filled.

Estimating the Age of Trees.


The counting of the rings added by exc
genous trees every year to their circumfer
ence can only, saysa distinguished bOtantist,
be applied to trees cut down in their prime,
and hence il is useless for the older trees
which are hollow and decayed. Trees,
moreover, Oftener develop themselves so UNI
equally from the center that, as in the case
of specimen in the museum at Kew, there
may be about 259 rings on one side to fifty
on the other. Perhaps the largest number
of rings that has ever been counted was in
the case of an oak felled in 1872, where they
amounted to 10; but De Candolle, who
mentions this. adds that 800 wears were adj
ded To this number as probably covering the
remaining rings which il was no longer pos
sible to count. This instance may be taken
to illustrate how unsatisfactory this mode
of reckoning really is for all but trees of
comparatively youthful age. Tie external
girth measurement is for these Iea-
sons the best we can have, being
especially applicable where the date
of a trees Introduction into a country
or of its planting IS definitely fixed, since
it enables US to argue from the individual
specimen or from number of specimens,
not with certainty, but with certain limits
of variability, to the rate of growth OF that
tree a. a species. In these measurements of
trees q century or more in age such as are
given abundantly in Loudon's 'Arboretum,"
lies our best guide, though even then the
growth in subsequent ages must remain a
matter of conjecture. The difficulty is to re-
duce this conjectural quantity TO the limits
probability; for, given the ascertained
growth of the first century, how shall we
innate the diminished growth of later CEN
turies? The best way would seem TO be to
take the ascertained growth of the first CEN
fury. and then TO make say, the third of it
the actual growth of every century. Thus
if we were to take twelve feet as the ascer-
taired growth Of an oak in its first century,
four feet would be its constant average rate
and we might conjecture that an oak of forty
feet was about l 900 years old. But clearly it
might be much less, for the reason for tax
ing the third is not so much that il is a more
probable average than the half as that it is
obviously less likely to err on the side of ex-
cess of rapiditv.
