No other complaints are so insidious in thelF

perhaps from q trihing or unconscious ex-

sickness. AYERS CHERRY PEcToRAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight

FARM DEPARTMENT.
FARM BUILDINGS.
THEIR ARRANGEMENT AND coNvE-
NIENCEs. BY THE LECTURER OF
MILFORD GRANGE.
Continued from last aeeek.l l

CONtHuet yFOW tdSt Wtth.
The profits of farming can be
largely increased by the raising OF
chickens and turkeys, and by good
management large flocks of them
can be kept. Let the hen house
and yard be short distance from
the house, and, as far as possible
from the barn. Never allow a
brood to be raised outside of the
henyard, and never feed them any
where else. If you adhere strictly
10 these rules, and provide plenty
of roosts, they will always come
there TO sleep; it few stray off to
roost around the barn, put them
in the pot.
The pig pens should be so far
from the house that the smell will
not be Berceptable in the hottest
weather; and on the north, or
northwest side if possible. Two,
barrels, with truck for moving
them, will save all the milk and
slops. A pig house should be
twelve feet wide, and if 1T is thirty
feet long there will be room for
five pens 6x8, with a passage way
of four feet along the front.
Each pen should have a small yard
attached. AT the end ofthe house
should be a room 12x12, with
water pipe from the tank, bins
for meal and feed, and barrels for
mixing slops.
Each farm should be provided |
with an ice house, so us to have |
cold, sweet milk and fresh meat |
in summer; luxuries that belong
on the farm, but are seldom found |
there.

was speculator in turkeys last month;
but George found that other things
could gobble besides a turkey. He
sold $3.50 dollars worth of turkeys to a
man in Philadelphia, who gave him a
check for the amount. On presenting
the check for deposit at our bank, he
discovered that the amount was not
written into the face of the check.
When he returned to his purchaser to
get tile check corrected, he found that
the purchaser had closed up and de-
parted. Thus ends the first chapter.

False modesty might lead me me % ,e
pass that by in silence, but as the
comfort of the family largely de-
pends on its situation and arrange
ment, and all over our county it is
fruitful source of sickness and
death, 1 should consider my
essay incomplete without giving
it attention. Colds, coughs, rheu-
matism, typhoid fever, diphtheria
and scarlet fever all hang around
this building ready to take advan-
tage of the slightest neglect of
sanitary law. As a general rule,
it is the last thing built, seldom
clapboarded, rarely plastered, fre-
quently it is only a rough box set
on its end, with a hole for light
and cracks for ventilation; beneath
is a foul smelling pool, which
hand will only clean out as a spe-
cial favor. And this is place
the most delicate member of your
family must visit once a day; no
wonder you are ashamed to have
it mentioned. 1t should be neat
building: not less than Axe; finish
ed to correspond with the house,
on a close brick foundation with a
door at the back to remove its
contents; lath and plastered, with
two windows, and a door with
knob and lock. 1t should be but
a short distance from the house;
accessible by a board walk with
a roof over tiff possible.
Besides the buildings around
the homestead, every farm should
have one or more tenant houses,
and make it ri. e with your help
that they shall board themselves.
No investment will pay better
than the amount put into a tenant
house.
l will conclude my essay with
two or three general rules: Never
build in a hurry; think your plan
over, and be sure it is right;
alterations are expensive. Always
use planed siding, and as soon as
a building lH51,a n deaal'-sad paint it.
An old proverb says; "rafnt-costs
and it comes very near
being an axiom. Paint saves your
buildings, improves their looks,
md adds to the value of your
arm. Keep them in good repair;
"a stitch in time saves nine" ap-
1lies to our barns as well as
)reeches, and above all, keep them
,lean. Barns, pig pens, and every
1lace where excrementous matter
S liable to accumulate, should be
cleaned out once a week, and by
he use of plaster, dry earth or
.oal ashes be kept in such condi-
ion that the job of cleaning will
,e no more disagreeable than the
,ther farm work. l had almost
orgotten the white-wash brush,
should be applied twice in the
ear to the inside of every build
ng except the ice house.
