FIG. /. HAY BARN.

bracinG known as the horseshoe truss"
This peculiar truss is used in all the
barns and IS so cheaply and convenient
~ constructed as to become prominent
feature in modern barn building. sup
planting IN time purline posts and plates
and tie girts with all their many incon-
venienCes. Light and airy as the truss
appears TO the common observer, emf
nent engineers, after a careful eXamina-
tion, have pronounced it capable of car
rying with safety railroad train OF
loaded cars.
The CAPACITY of the barn is something
enormous. holding, as i. does, three
hundred and fifty tons of hay in the
bays and loft above the floor. The base
ment is divided into a number of COM
partments designed for the care of cattle.
One is fitted up with stalls for feeding
forty-fye steers. and each has stall,
manger and feeding rack to himself.
AdioininT this room is the COW stable,
having room for eight cows only. which
are kept solely for the purpose of sup
plying the house with milk and butter.
Directly under the drive floor in the
middle OF the basement. safe from the
action of the cold, is the large root cell
lar. Near this is the granary holding
three thousand three hundred bushels.
The rest of the room IS cut up into box
stalls for bulls, calves and colts, and
they are also used for lying-in stalls for
the cows.

IN BENlGHTED AFRICA.

STANLEY proves the Nile to be 400
miles long.
The prickly pear is overrunning and
destroying some of the best and most
fertile lands in South Africa.
ACCORDING to Captain Wissnan, of
the African exploring party, the para
disc of birds seems to have been found
on the shores of a lagoon communicate
ing with the eastern extremity of the
Albert Nyanza.
TIE British South Africa Company,
it is reported. has proposed to its en-
ploycs that any servant discovering a
mine in the country covered by the COM
paay-s charter will be made co-pro-
prietor of it with the company.
Or the 100000 square miles Of
Africa. only about 100000 remain
which have not been claimed by some
European power. and more than half of
this area lies within the desert Of Sa-
h2ra: France has taken 700. coo square
miles, Germany 10000 square miles,
and England has a controlling influence
over 1000. square miles.
II is proposed to put 500 to 1000 steel
tubular frame eight wheel wagons. fitted
with automatic brakes, on the Govern
acnt railways in Natal, and that they
shall be paid for by one-half the annual
savings made by using them in moving
freight. as compared with the cost of
moving al equal quantity on ordinary
wagons.
GERHARD RoHLFs, the African eX
plorcr, expresses the opinion that the
Trans-Sahara railway could be built
only after the complete disarming of all
tho peoples through whose territory the
route would lie. For this purpose
twenty thousand picked soldiers would
be necessary. One of the greatest OBJ
stacles in the way of the constructors,
Herr Rohlfs says. would be the sand
banks. The largest of these banks
might be tunnelcd, he thinks, while
cuts might be made through the smaller
ones. In many localities sand sheds,
built after the plan of the American
snow sheds. would be necessary.
MALAEIAL fever is the one sad GER
tainty which every African traveller
must face. Its geographical distribu-
ton is still unmapped, but generally 1t
prevails over the whole cast and west
coasts within the tropical limit. all
along the river courses. on the shores Of
the inland lakes and all loW-lying
and marshy districts. The African ma
laria spares no man: the strong fall as
the weak; no number of precautions can
provide against it; no kind of care can
do more than make the attacks less fire.
quent; no prediction can BIO made be-
forchand as to which regions are haunt
ed by il ana which are safe.
IT is reported from South Africa that
the Barotse, who live on the upper Fam
best, have accepted the protection of
Great Britain, and an immense territory,
embracing about two hundred and twen-
tyfvc thousand square miles, has thus
been added to the dominion of that Ma
ton. These natives live above the ia
nous Victoria falls. on the north side of
the ZambcSi river. Their King is said
to have agreed to abolish the killing of
witches and the custom of human sacri-
fees, which have been of everyday oc-
currcncc. Nothing of importance is
done among the Barotse without sac
riticc, generally child. Hardly a Gay

horse barn is ninety by forty-five feet
with twenty-foot posts. and for a large
barn it is a model of its kind. The
ground floor has single stalls for four
teen horses and six box stalls besides.
The carriage room is large and conven-
lent. as are also the harness rooms. The
framework below is of oak ana the en-
tire ground floor is sided and ceiled
with hard pine, finished in hard oil.
Even the heavy timb ers and huge beams
that support the loft above are planed
and oiled to correspond with the pine
ceiling. The loft, though small in COM
pariSon with the other barns, affords
enough room to store away one hundred
tons of hay. From the cupolas to the
floor a series of hollow boxes that can
be lowered and raised as the hay is put
in serve as two perfect air-shafts, in
surfing the thorough keeping of the hay.

pittiur Potatoes.

We are asked by CORES pondent tc
give directions for pitting potatoes. In
the first place we advise carefulness
not TO put too many together. Build
them up in a ridge, a sharp ridge, so as
to have say about hundred bushels in
twenty feet of length. The base of the
ridge will be about four feet, and the
sides will slope so that the pile will
reach three or four feet in height.
Usually coat of straw is placed next to
the potatoes, but some OF our most ex-
perienced agriculturists prefer to put
six or eight inches of mellow dirt on
instead of straw. and then the straw on
the dirt The reason given for this Is that
the straw becomes damp and if the
frosts reach it they will penetrate it,
while if u layer of mellow dirt is put
next to the potatoes there will be little
danger of this. If pitting is resorted to
it should he done with the full eXpec-
tation of having a severe winter. Never
count on a milG winter. Ii you do, you
VIII be very likely, in vulgar parlance,
to get left. Cover thick enough to pre-
vent the frost from reaching them.
This need not be done at first. On the
contrary the straw and dirt as above
mentioned may be applied at first and
then. when freezing weather comes,
apply good coat OF coarse manure 0.

ural products which is involved in the
habit which some hens have of eating
their own eggs. A false bottom is
fastened in the nest-boX, consisting of
two boards, sloping to the center, with
a space between just wide enough TO
admit an egg. When the hen turns to
cackle over the new-laid egg and then
to devour ii. she is naturally astonished
to find an apparently empty nest 1t is
not expected that this will work upon
her feelings so much that She will re-
sumo her place and lay another egg,
but it will at least place the one already
laid beyond the reach of her beak.-
