CATTLE SHEDS.
Their Construction a Saving in Food and
Future Labor.

Their Construction a Saving in Food and
Future Labor.
Cattle sheds or barns should be built
wide enough for two rows of cattle, and
long enough to accommodate the herd
to provided for. There are two plans
for the stalls: One for the cattle to
stand facing each other. and feedway
between them. But after careful exam
ination and trial we prefer the cattle
facing toward the ontside of the shed.
We are opposed to feed boxes, but the
floor of the feedway should be two feet
above the floor on which the cattle
stand, on which can be placed the hay,
meal or other food. This feedway
should be five feet wide, and made OF
boards plaued ON the upper side, so that
a man with fork can shove the hay on
the floor, which can be done much
faster than carryingit. The floor of the
stalls should be five or six feet long, ac-
cording to age or size of the cattle. This
should incline few inches towards the
rear, but rot too much, as that would
derange the natural level position of the
animal, and interfere with the intestinal
operations. The passage way in the
center of the shed should be at least
eight feet wide, and the door five or six
inches below the floor of the stalls. This
should be arranged so that the wagon
or cart can be run through to gather up
and haul out at once the manure to the
farm. If the cattle's heads stand to.
ward the center the manure will have to
be thrown out of the windows, and
probably remain under the eve of the
shed until it is bleached of all its vir.
tues. With an eight-fcet driveway in
the center the manure can be pushed
back and be hauled out once week, or
in case of bad weather or emergency,
every two weeks. But in this arrange
ment, when taken out, 1t is almost cer-
tain to be carted out to the right place
for future usefulness. In the other way
1t is almost certain to be left and wasted.
For milk COWS the stalls should have
partitions, which should be as high as
the cows head, sloping down to few
inches at the back end of the stall floor
For other cattle, unless it is found there
are some vicious ones, there need be no
partitions to the stalls. From our cal
culations, for two rows of stalls, the shed
or barn should be thirty feet wide. II
one side be designed for cattle and the
other for horses, it will be necessary to
have the shed two feet wider, as horse
stalls should be eight feet deep. When
barns are built wider so as to accommo-
date more than two rows of stalls it is
done at great sacrifice of light, which
is an important item. And by facing
stock towards the sides instead of to-
wards the center, the question of light
should be taken into consideration.
Windows are cheap, and there should
always be an ample provision for light.
II is beneficial to the stock, and an ad-
vantage in the care and feeding.

Drying Flowers.

The chief points to atterd to are to
dry the specimens quickly, thoroughly,
and with pressure that will not crush
them. A good method is to place each
specimen in sheet of brown paper, and
interpose several empty sheets between
each that is filled; then to place them in
a napkin press. and press them gently
for the first day or two, just enough to
prevent the leaves and flowers from
shriveling. When the tapers are quite
damp, separate them, and spread them
on the floor of room where they can
dry little, then gather them together
and place them again in the press,
rather increasing the pressure. This
operation should be repeated daily till
uhs flowers are quite dry. A quick and
better, hut more troublesome way, is 20
shift the flowers daily out of their damp
papers into hot and dry ones, imniedi.

As swiftly the fingers that solzo them go
To hurry them into the stick
With click, click.

What do the. types tell the world MS they

,Hcre II is satire; there eloquence grand.
Weak MS nothing, when single, combined they
A wonder-power in their click,

Look again in the stick.
To the workers of evil thcy sorrow bctlde;
The cheat and oppressor in vain try to glide
Away from the click, but tho earth can not

OF the types falling into the stick.
As they click, click, in the stick,
Monnrchs and tyrnnts their maishnling dread /;
They know that to freedom the types have
been wed,
and the visions they see are In color blood
And they shake at the sound of the click.
Harl, the noise from the stickl
Guilt flies from the sound in u tremor of fear;
But guilt can not hide in the day or the night,
Though II try every method of hiding or
From the sound of that terrible click.
Forever that c' 'ck, cicil
In the gas that makes the day. shine, or In the

Among the many recent novelties in
the manufacture of musical Instruments
is a paper piano. II is of French inven-
ton, and is an object of great curiosity
to the eonnoisseurs and musical savants
Of Paris. The entire case is made of
compressed paper, to which are given a
hard surface and brilliant polish. The
legs and sides are ornamented with
arabesques and floral ornaments. The
color is cream white, and the entire ex-
terror, and as much of the interior as
can be seen when the instrument is open,
are covered with wreaths and medallions
painted in miniature by some of the
leading artists of the gay capital.
The tone of this instrument is said, by
those who have heard it, to be of
excellent quality, though not loud. The
broken, alternating character of piano
music is said to be almost entirely re
moved, and a rich, full, continuous roll
of music, like that of a pipe organ, is
produced. Only two of these instru-
ments have been made. One is still on
exhibition; the other has been sold to
the duke of Devonshire, and will be
placed among the thousand and one
curiosities and ran titles which adorn his
more than regal mansion at C%hatsworth.

The vehicle consists of Il wheel IL feet 10
inches in diameter, which gives a circum
ference of 40 feet. The center of the
wheel is pierced by n shaft, into which
the spokes extend from the tire at a con
siderable angle. Suspended from the
center of the shaft in the space between
the spokes is the seat to be occupied by
the operator. In propelling the wheel
the operator works a treadle that is so
adjusted as to utilize his fun weight in
ascending hills or traversing heavy
roads.
On each end of the shaft hangs an
iron rod that extends to within a few
inches of the ground. BY an ingenious
eontriyance the lower end of these
rods-which are denominated safety
rods'-can be shifted at the pleasure of
the operator to positions neal to or some
distance from the tire Of the wheel.
The regulation speed will, however, be
two revolutions per second, which is
easily attained. and will represent a rate
of almost a mile a minute. Mr.. Valen-
tine, the inventor. is q gentleman of
rather nervous temperament, about 45
years of age.
