"A Model Farm Barn.

Therear three requisitesin in farm barn
in Florida-A hay barn proper, wagon
shed, and q horse stable. How to build
one cheaply and at the same time meet
these conditions, | have just solved in
building one for myself. [ have partly
finished one 20x30 feet. l got from the

three rows, putting them two feet in the

with girths seven and one half feet from
the ground and at the top. Puton good
substantial plates at top and cover with
a shingle roof with wide projections.
Two feet above the first set of girths I
put up another set, and still another two
feet higher, making three sets OF girths
around and through the building. On
the first set of girths laid poles and cut
my pea vines and drew them in perfectly
green and placed them on these poles to
the depth of about eighteen inches, then
onethe second tier of girths laid on poles
and went on filling with fresh cut pea
vines as before and so on to the third
tier, filling my barn with green pea vines;
and now [ have barn full of as hand

Learning a Calf to Drink.

Every one who has tried to make a
young calf drink, knows what ''jolly"
timehe has before the calf will get down
to work. We recently had little calf
left on our hands and succeeded in bring
ing it through asfollows: We took big
handful of oat meal and put in about a
quart of water. This was warmed to
about the temperature ofmilk and put in
pan. The calf was tied up so as to pre-
vent his capering about. Handling her
carefully till we finally got our fingers in
her mouth, and as she commenced to
suck, brought thepan upso that it could
get the contents. After q number of
efforts she drank it all and tried to get
more by bunting the pan. To learn it to
eat bran we mixed up some with warm
water and would take little and place
it on her tongue. 1t took some time,
but it soon "consented' to eat all we put
in, and when a taste was acquired it was
not long before it would eat out OF the
bucket. To learn her to eat pea vines
we kept some hung upwhere she was tied,
would take q leaf off and place it in her

and at this writing, July, 1890, every
tree has fruit on. One has twenfy-four
plums over one inch in diameter and not
yet ripe. There is one difficulty with this
arrangement, as | well knew that is, the
peach and Kelsey will grow faster than
the stock. To remedy that difficulty was
the trouble; to do it | took some wild
plum stocks half an inch in diameter, cut
them off within two inches of the root
and inserted some Kelsey gratis ten inches
long and planted them deep enough to
leave one bud above ground. They are
too deepfor livestock to sprout, and deep
enough for the Kelsey to throw out trace
roots, which they have done. Three
fOurths of those SO treated in the spring
of 1SS9lived through that and this years
drouths with no care and are now bushy
and three to five feet high. The advan-
tageis, you have a foundation root that
a grub hoe will hardly kill, and with it's
help the Kelsey ought to furnish brace
roots proof against root-knot.

Happiness Not Dependent Upon Wealth.

There are rich women whose lives
would have been happier in all PROB

energy, capacity, industry, and could
have supported themselves honestly
and usefully; but now those faculties
are all absorbed N the effort to be just
stewards of what is given them. They
spend sparingly on themselves and
munificently on others; but the lavish
ness costs harder work than the econo-
my. They consume days in the care
of institutions or the guidance of indi.

lie awake at night wondering if they
have done rightly in paying the fine

Llnooln's Melancholy.
HIS SYMPATHETIC NATURE AND HIS EARLY
MIsFoRTUNEs

Those who saw much of Abraham
Lincoln during the later years of his
life, were greatly impressed with the
expression of profound melancholy his
face always wore in repose.
Mr.. Lincoln was of peculiarly SYM
pathetic and kindly nature. These
strong characteristics influenced, very
happily, as it proved, his entire political
career. They would not seem, at first
glance, to be efficient aids TO political
success; but in the peculiar emergency
which Lincoln, in the providence of
God, was called to meet no vessel OF
common clay could possibly have be-
come the "chosen of the Lord"
Those acquainted With him from
boyhood knew that early griefs tinged
his whole life with sadness. HIS part
ner in the grocery busines at Salem
was "Uncle' Billy Green, of Tallula,
ILL.,, who used at night, when the Gus
toners were few, to hold the grammar
while Lincoln recited his lesson.
1t was his sympathetic ear Lincoi q
told the story of his love for sweet Anr
Rutlidge; and he, in return. Offered
what comfort he could when poo Anr
died, and Lincoln's great heart rearll
broke.

There are many who can sympathlz
with this overpowering grief, as the.

The Golden Gate Tours of the Pennsy lvaIia
Railway.

Preparations for the inaugural series
of personally conducted tours to the
Pacific Coast, under the auspices of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, are progress
ing, and detailed outline of their
scope, routes, rates, and conditions will
be published at an early day. In the
meantime sufficient headway has been
made to indicate that the tours will
surpass any similar pleasure trips here
tofore enjoyed by the people of the
Eastern States. The special trains of
Pullman Vestibule, Sleeping, and
Dining Cars will exemplify the latest
and best work of the Pullman shops.
They will run through to California on
quick time, delivering their passengers
at desirable points in the Golden State
and picking them up at the appointed
rendezvous for the return trip. Tourist
Agents and Chaperons of wide exper-
ience will conduct the party and min
lister to their comfort in every possible
way. Peculiarly favorable concessions
will be granted them by the railroads
of the Pacific Slope, 30 that their move
ments may be productive of the fullest
pleasure at the lowest cost.
These tours are the most ambitious
attempts yet projected by the Pennsyl-
vania personally escorted system to
provide pleasure tours of the highest
grade. aud the travelling public may
depend upon securing in them the most
perfect service.
The first tour will leave the East
late in January. 1t will be limited tc
one hundred persons, and those who
anticipate an early spring outing tr
! the shores of the Pacific should place
themselves in correspondence at once
with Mr.. J. r. Wood, General Pas
senger Agent of the Pennsylvanit
Railroad, Philadelphia.
