Plans of One "a Feet Wide and I04
Feet in Length.
A barn forty feet wide will give two
double stalls, each eight feet wide,
which can be fitted with doors so as to
be used as box stalls: four single stalls
each five feet wide for the horse stable;
leave a passage four feet wide at one
side to pass from one stable to another.
This will give stalls for nine cows and
leave passage at the side. l would
make the managers continuous, so one
can walk through the entire length to
clean them out, or to feed grain to
horses and cattle.
The floor of the hangers l would
make from eight inches to one foot
higher than that on which the cattle
and horses stand, but the floor must
not be raised 50 much as to interfere
with tall man walking through the
manger. If more stable room is needed,
the cow stable manger can be. made
five feet wide instead of four and an
other row of cattle tied up to eat from
the opposite side Of it, and some box
stalls made for both horses and COWS,
and provision must be made for storing
bedding. There should be two granaries
in the basement for feed for horses and
cows and two above for grain. In a
barn of this size there ought to be two
driveways or barn floors above, so as to
make it convenient to fill the barn,
with hay chutes located SO that hay and
fodder can be dropped into the managers.

The Breed Tot in the Feed.

There is an old saying, believed by

to ignore the prepotency of blood, that
"breed goes in at the mouth" Nothing

this dogma Had they said that the
characteristics of a breed could be
changed by what goes in at the mouth,
no observing breeder would dissent.
The artificial treatment that produced
the habits, functions and characteristics
of improved animals must be continued
or they will surely relapse and show
traits altogether different from those
most sought after, and, in some cases.
almost destroy their usefulness for the
special purpose they are intended for.

beauty of his growing tail-feathers,
encountered hippopotamus taking the
evening air by the bank of the river In
which he conducted his business.
Sauntering insolently by, the bird re-
turned the sedate beasts salute with a
negligent nod, affecting at the same
time to yawn. my young friend"
said the hippopotamus. in tone of re-
proof, "if you must indulge In that
practice let me at least show you how
1t is done by those who have pursued 1t
from youth" With these words he split
his face, and, laying back the lid, ex-
posed a cavern which presently closed
on paralyzed ostrich. Then the level
beams of the sun fell with superfuous
illumination on the feature of hippo
potamus already lighted up by sanity

When young calf is gorged with
milk indigestion follows and the stom'
ach is clogged with mass of compact
curd. The consequence is that the an
imal becomes dull, dribbles at the
mouth and grinds its teeth. The treat
ment should be to give a teaspoonful
of carbonate of soda or 81 leratus in a
pint Of water, which will dissolve the
curd and aid its passage through the
intestines. six hours after give one
tablespoonful of raw linseed or castor
oil. Offer no food until TIE bowels are

quart of warm, fresh milk at mea!
every three hours. When a calf is
drinking milk it should be fed slowly
and with intervals of rest and cold
milk should never be given, as this

THE TEACHERS DREAM.


The days Of June are rich and rare,
But in the schools are dreary days;
The bright sun woos 10 outdoor plays,
The trees rejoice in sultry air,
But thought grows sluggish and the child
Grows restless meath the scepter mild;
The teacher wearies of her care.
The drowsy breath Of June had famed
teacher, tired of her voice;
She loved the labor Of her choice,
Yet weary were'her heart and hand.
But In one moment visions rare
Had quickened heart and lightened care !;
One moment--years in bright dreamland.
She saw speaker, who began
To thrill the throng In accents bold;
Brave, lofty were the truths he told;
Through oil their hearts his spirit RAM
For goodness, honor, love he pleads,
Denouncing hate and wicked deeds,
He was her pupil-grown man.
In dreams she saw a lady mild,
With little children by her side.
The mother spoke wise words to guide
Her brood In virtue indebted
With trust look up the little birds;
The mother spoke the very words
The teacher taught her when child.
Two men would lead third astray;
They promise office, gold and fame
II he will stain an honest name.
