Erteriors ofl Barns.

Without mourning much additional expense, a barn may have pleasing ex- terior instead of an awkward and heavy form. In addition to it's general sym metry, which may nearly always accord with convenience, few small particu- lars added at the proper places may con tribute much to its appearance. Coun- try Gentleman calls attention in this connection to the decorative effect of small hoods over the doors and windows, and properly projecting caves. As a mat ter of utility these will be worth more than their cost. The hoods will be a pro- lection of the windows in some degree against storms and prevent rain from being driven inside, and the projecting caves will answer similar purpose and protect the walls outside. They will both serve to stiffen the building by af- fording additional bracing. They will possess another distinct advantage The owner will not feel compelled to hide his barns and outbuildings from view because they are repulsive objects. Par tially hid by trees, they will convey the impression to the spectator of home con- veniences and rural comforts.

unpainted Bee Hives.

Unpainted hives during a very wet, rainy time would probably get more damp and soggy than painted ones; but when the sun comes out think they will dry out, outside and inside, quicker. In the early spring, when the bees need all the benefit they can get from the sun, q black, unpainted hive would cer- tainly secure more warmth; but when the great heat of the summer sun be- comes an objection it would be just the other way. A careful, enlightened, in telligent bee keeper will, as a rule, have not only his bee hives, but his imple- ments and everything else, including house and barn, kept well painted, while the slipshod don't care old fc.gy would be pretty sure to Az.aeverythiftg unpaint- ed; therefore paint indicates the charac- ter of the man. l should hesitate some about wanting my hives to present such an appearance as urpainted ones usually do.-Bee Keeper

The Desert Land Law.

Now that Congress is once more in session the all important question as to what will be done with the desert land act, is agitating the settlers in the section of country that would be affected by the repeal of this valuable law. It is recognized that the desert land law, honestly administered, is the most valuable land law on the statute books to-day, as far as the great west is concerned, and still our people are too apt to slumber and allow such law to be repealed ty default. It is well established fact that the man who aralis himself of the privileges extended under the provisions of this wise law, and per fleets his title by showing conclusively that he has redeemed the land enter ed, has earned the land. In the first place it costs him $I25 per acre, and it is safe to presume that the clearing, irrigating and seeding of the land costs at least $20 to $25 more. What more can the government expect of a farmer who enters land under the Des- ert act2 It must be borne in mind that even when the land has been re- deemed, and redeemed at 8 cost of $2.50 an acre, the farmer has to exer- else frugality to a considerable extent while the country is building up about him and making a market for his pro ducts. How different is such a show ing from what the representations oi ! tha enemies Qf tbn Desert apt won l1 lead people to believe were the facts
 The cry emanating from tho Eastern states, comes from source that is ignorant of the matter which IS re- ceiving so much of their hostile at
 tention. Practical experience demon, strates that the man who by thrift and experience honestly acquires a title under the desert act owns his land
 This act should be preserved inasmucE as it presents opportunities to tho honest settler to acquire homes, anC makes valuable citizens for our ter
 ritories. It is an inducement to arti
 ficially irrigate the arid portions ol tho Territory. Let every paper in the Territory advocate the retention Or the statute books of this law, which insures the development of our coun. try, and let every town and individual
 bring into play their best endeavors tC save the Desert Land Act Governor Wolhey is now at Washington labor
 ing zealously in it's behalf, it there, lore behooyes all to put theirshoulder; to the wheel and help the good work

From Maryland a farmer writes: "What we all want from our hogs is yroft, -apd-the profit depends largely upon the feeding Of the hog during the latter half of his life, or from the HnAt of August to December. A field of COW peas makes an excellent pasture about this time The hogs on it will require very little grain, and little later when the pods are ripening, no additional grain will be needed. To some this may seem an expensive way to feed hogs; but as field thus treated will be improved almost as much as if it had received dressing of manure, think in most cases it will pay. If the COW peas are not stocked too heavily they will last until corn is ripe, and then there is nothing to do but to throw in the corn judiciously until cold weather comes. 1 do not believe in pen ming hogs and feeding them entirely on corn or with feed. think the prices of corn and pork are too close to allow much profit"
 A New York grower says: "For profit able pork, early pigs are most desirable. l A cross of Chester White and Berkshire makes as good a 'porker' as any, as it is long bodied and small boned, natures early and fattens readily-all desirable points. Early pork is the most profit able. costing less per pound, while it brings higher price in the market than | pork made in cold weather. The choicest of early pork may be made by feeding ! plenty of skim milk with a small addi- ton of wheat middlings. Peapods, corn 1 husks, clover and weeds are relished and fed with profit through hot weather. ! The product of an acre or more of peas is an important item in cheap pork mak- ing as we'll as a healthful and delicious table dish. As soon as the peas get too oll for cooking begin to pull them for the pigs"
 A New Jersey farmer expresses the opinion that the Berkshire gives the heaviest ham in proportion to the weight of the animal, and the lightest head; or in other words, the flesh of the Berkshire is the most valuable, for it has most of the best meat and least of the poor, and ! the emost Berkshires have sufficient bone ] laifi liiasele not toIl,ieak dowp5 f -

 The authority quoted calls to mind the fact that barns such as are here depicted may be built of rough or unplaned lum- Der, taking care to give the right form. If such barn be well soaked with one or two good coats of crude petroleum, and in year or two finished with coat of common paint, it will be more dur able than with three coats of paint on an expensive barn built with planed and costly lumber.

Saving Work in Narrowing.

Where it is customary to harrow land three times before seeding, it is usually done the first time with the furrows, and the second and third times diago- nally. In narrowing diagonally most people finish one way and then go over it the other way, but correspondent of Farm and Preside tells that much time and labor can be saved by doing it in the way shown in the illustration.

SCHOOLS.

The schools on the reservation are doing well. There are 44 Indian boys and two girls in attendance. There are four female and two male teachers. It is very difficult to secure the at tendance of girls as they are generally sold or disposed of when young, to other Indians, who raise them for their wives Some of the Indians have as many as ten or dozen wives, and polygamy is generally practiced among the various Apache tribes. Chief Casadoro has ten or more wives and says he has been kept poor all his life buying them. A little Indian girl was sold on the reservation by her p9fents, a few days ago, to another Indian for two horses and S20. This is one of the reasons why 1t is so hard >to get the Indian girls from their parents to put them in the schools as they are a source of speculation. Capt. Bulls thinks that ii the Indian girls can be gotten into schools this po- lygamous practice can he soon brought to an end.

Orders have been recently received to furnish estimates as 10 the cost of school buildings and quarters for teachers for all the Indian children on the reservation, and it appears that compulsory education is the policy which in the future will be pursued by the government; and this Capt Bullis thinks will give good results There are $40 children at the San Carlos agency and 200 at Ft. Apache, all of whom will be compelled 10 attend school. He believes that education of the young is the true policy for the permanent settlement of the Indian question, and, as experience has taught that it will take about three generations to bring about the change from wild savage state to civilized condition, the educational policy of the government is an important one.
