FIG. INCREASING BARN ROOM.
sists simply of Iean-to added to either
end of an ordinary barn; these may be
used for stables, for storing implements,
wagons, ETC., for a shop, or various other
purposes. The artist has represented
them as having each a small door, but
for housing implements larger doors will
be necessary. Windows might also be
added, and other changes may suggest
themselves.
The cut is intended simply as hint of
the possibilities of such additions. The
capacity of barn may be nearly dou-
bled, while the expense need not be
heavy. Floors may be added or not, ac-
cording to the uses to which the add
ton is to be put. Such additions are
preferable to separate small buildings
for the reason that they are more shell
tered from storms and winds, are more
convenient, and may be utilized for
storing grain, hay, etc., in productive
seasons.
In the second cut is shown the plan of
a barn built for a forty acre farm, which
Ohio Farmer describes as follows:
1t is 32x44 feet. c is the COW stable
for three cows, separated from II, the
horse stable, by sliding door. II, H,
are two large box stalls, separated by a
sliding door. Each can be made into
two stalls when required. This stable
part is 14x32 feet. F is the feed hall, 4

vitality of Clover Seed.

1--WE have seen two-year-old clover

can CultiVator. ''If left in the ground,
by being buried too deeply, clover seed
will often hold its vitality many years.
In localities where clover seed is grown,
more or less of the seed is lost in harvest
ing. If the clover seed stubble is plowed
and sown with wheat, that which
dropped on the surface will not grow
the next spring, as it is buried TOO
deeply. But it will come up in suisse

tanned its vitality underground in all
