The plan of the basement is shown at
Fig. ?, a being passage for the cows and
a driveway for removing the manure; b b
are the stalls for the COWS. fifty-two in
number, having the feed trough toward the
center, and all reached by an inner drive
way There are six stalls, and room
at each end of the stalls for harness.
At G is place for storing plows, car
riages, wagons or machines. a drive
way IF F. passes through the basement
from east to west AS many windows as
needed may be built in the wall. The
stills of the barn are laid upon the wall,
as already mentioned; the posts are %
feet high, and the plates upon these sup
port the raftcrS.
The plates are fastened together at the
ends by being halved and the corners fas-
tened together by half inch bolts. At
each corner is brace of SXS timber,
bolted to and through the plates by three
quarter inch bolts and strengthened by
an iron plate on the inside, through which
the bolts pass. The shoulders of the cor
ner rafters rest upon these braces and
plates These raftcrs are of GXl2 timber.
Purlin plates of SXl0 inch timber are
bolted under the rafters and fastened to-
gether at the corners in the same manner
as the plates The intermediate rafters
rest upon these purlins. Iron tie rods
may be used to strengthen the rafters
and hold them together, if thought neces-
sary.
Fig. l shows the elevation with a por-
ton of the roof removed to show the man
ner of laying the rafters and bridging
them A crown rim is bolted to the
rafters at the point of the ROTOR rather

crown rim-which supports cupola.
The cupola is fifty feet from the floor of
the barn, the roof rising twenty-five feet,
and the post being twenty Sht feet high.
The floor of the barn is laid upon beams,
supported by brick piers or timber posts
in the basement. A line of beams may be
laid above the floor ON either side, above
which floors may be laid; the space thus
made may be used for granaries or stor-
age of farm tools or machines, or other
cumbrous property.

An easy way to take care Of corn fodder,
says The Prairie Farmer is to shuci in
the field and tie III bundles which are
afterward stacked Lay piece Of Irvine
on the ground of q length to suit the size
of the bundles you propose making;
place an armfull of fodder on the Irvine
and shucll out the corn which may be
thrown into wagon. Repeat this opera
ton until yon have bundle Of the de-
sired size, which tie firmly, The bales
from two to four shucks can be piled to-
gether until convenient time comes for
hauling, or until the first snow comes,
when they may be hauled to the stack on
sleds. In piling in the field lay one bale
ON the ground and put others crosswise.
By using a pitchfoIk to handle the bales,
one man can load with greater ease and
rapidity than two in the old way loose.
In stacking the stalker takes two bales in
his hand and sets them up pcrpcndicu-
larly, building on each side of this row
until the desired size is obtained. Now
lay bales lengthwise on the top of the up
right ones to raise the shedding bales to
half pitch and if necessary the stack can
be covered with long slough hay to shed
snow and rain By this method the fod-
der is kept straight, dry and convenient
to feed.

Good Points of short Horns.

A noted English breeder in enumerat-
ing what he considered the good points Of
short horn cattle stated that among other
things the eye of the animal always in
fluenced his choice to great extent A
quiet, good natured eye was that of the
animal likely to suit his purpose but the
keen eye, in constant motion, he avoided,
because it indicated an irritable, uneasy
temperament, and an animal of such q
temperament would not readily fatten.
