A LamOille County Barn.

Agricultural Editor:-While others
are writing on the barn question, |
thought perhaps | might have my say
with the rest. My experience is some
what limited, consisting in the building
of two barns. My cattle-barn, which |
built in 1884, is forty-two by sixty feet,
and the horse and sheep-barn, which |
erected in 1888, is thirty by fifty-eight
feet. Both have Easements under the
whole. The largest is built on ground
inclining to the east, with the stable on
the south side. The floors, of which
there are two above the basement land
| trust you will have no less), run
lengthwise. The stable is fourteen feet
wide, the floor twelve, and the bay six
teen. The upper or main floor is about
ten feet above the feed-hoor and five
feet below the beams. Three of the
bays go the ground, which is twenty
feet from the main floor. In one bent
over the stable is side or turning
around floor, which is very handy for
many things besides to turn around the
team. In the first bent on the scaffold
side have grain bin and place for
storing sawdust and shavings, which can
be let into the stable at will through a
scuttle. ] do not favor the square barn
of which you speak, and hardly think il
would please you; but think the stable
could be arranged conveniently by
being divided into compartments run

tural paper was taken, and the average
price of butter for the year was ten and
one-third cents. In another township
two hundred fourteen agricultural
papers were taken, costing about $3.50,
and the butter sold at an average OF
twenty and two-thirds cents the same
year."
IT is not that the agricultural paper
alone is capable of making such a differ
ence in the results of farming, but it
is that the reading and rejecting habit
marks man of brains and business
capabilities. 1t also denotes the man
who has pride in his art, and has a
strong desire to place it on an equality
with other useful arts, as being under
the rule of intellect, rather than of
mere "main strength and awkward
ness" We have known light, and by
no means muscular, men to make a
great success in Charming with brains"
and we have known sturdy giants, who
scorned " book larnin'," to make pitt
full failures, even when their farms
came to them without cost.

A CORRESPONDENT writes: 8" If the
boys whose arms ache night after night,
as result of Juggling basket of po-
tatoes while dropping them for plant
ing, would try the following plan they
would not only find it easier, but very
much more rapid: Take wheelbarrow
load of potatoes and wheel them a few
feet from the beginning of the rows,
leaving two or more rows each side Of
the barrow. Then take both hands full
of potatoes and place them in the rows.
If there is no wheelbarrow at hand
use basket in the same way, and use
both hands in dropping the potatoes.
The only objection to this method will
be the hard work the coverer will find
to keep up"

THE following statement, from the

think the same would hold true in New

pains to find out the number of agri-
cultural papers taken in each township
of certain county found that the sue
cess of each, as shown in the state
census of 1885, was in exact ratio to
the number of farm papert taken, and
in no case did the figures show differ

THE potato plant may be in way
acclimated, even in northern New Eng
land, so as to grow year after year with
out replanting. We have had this &C.
ccur on our own farm in spots where
drifts of snow or dead leaves accumu-
late, so as to protect the tubers from
freezing. 1t is perhaps more common
in the north, where snow is "sure
CROP" than in southern New England.
The Connecticut Farmer gives an in
stance, however, as follows: " A Derby
correspondent says: David II. Smith
of Elm street, in the spring of 1899,
planted some potatoes in his garden,
and the fall following neglected for
some reason to harvest them. They
remained there all winter, commenced
to grow again this last spring, and he
has just harvested as fine potatoes as
one could wish for either in size, quality
or quantity"

THE sale of Judge Bonds ninety
head of Dutch cattle at Florence, Mass,
was sumner to the 6 Holstein inter-
est in New England. Fancy "thou
sand-dollar" beasts, going to the butch
ers at their own prices, must have
been sad sight, and an instructive one
to those who have believed in the glow
ing statements of the New York and
Pennsylvania boomers. But the Spring
field Republican says that, low as these
prices were, they were at least twenty
per cent higher than were secured at
the Governor Cheney sale in New
Hampshire few days ago." And yet
these Dutch cattle have their place and
use, but not in billy and rocky New
England. They are essentially the
creation of fiat country, with a moist
climate. Their best chance in America
would be in southwestern Louisiana
and some parts of Texas, where they
might be made profitable in skillful
hands. If colony of Dutch dairy
men were settled there with them, we
should expect great success for them
in supplying all that section with milk,
cheese and butter.

IT is rather curious that this Graham
lite notion never extended to other
grains than wheat. Nobody ever felt
the necessity of eating oat, rye, barley
or corn bran along with the meal, and,
so far as we know, it has never been adj
vised that we should eat the shells
with our nuts-or our eggs. The evils
attributed to eating fine flour are the
very evils which arise from over-eat-
ing of any kind of food; and the dys-
peptics are found most among those
who eat too much, and exercise in the
open air too little. But bran bread is
poor substitute for better habits. The
true cure for such is eating less, and
taking more exercise out of doors.
Croquet and tennis, skating, cycling
and horse exercise are doing a good
deal for women and indoor men.

WE are right glad that we and our
good Brother Whitaker of the Ne,c
England Farmer are coming nearer to-
gether in regard to newspaper equity,
as between publishers and the public.
In recent Issue he speaks thus: " DR..
Hoskins truly says, it takes two to
make bargain, even for newspaper
and we maintain that when an intelli-
gent man voluntarily takes a newspaper
from the post-office through period of
time, without word of demur, that
newspaper having plainly printed on it
the date at which the subscription be-
comes due, there is an implied bar
gain" We shall not quarrel with that
view of the subject, though we believe
the cash-in-advance system is the best
for all hands.

Editorial NOtings.

THE American Wool Reporter thinks
that a man of some business sense and
little capital who could not take one
of these abandoned Massachusetts
farms and make it pay ten per cent net
by judicious apple alton of sheep hus-
bandry would be an exception. And
how is it with the numerous abandoned
wooden mills in New England? 1t
surely wasn't dogs that destroyed them,
though bulls and bears may have had u
share in the matter.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-05-20

PERHAPS the most common fault
among American farmers is lack of
business promptitude, so that even
when it is known that they will event
ually pay, no one cares to grant them
credit. Very few men of business
want their capital strewed in driblets
about the country, with no certainty of
its being available when needed. Farm
ers everywhere complain of the high
rates of interest they have to pay;
but if farmers were businesslike and
prompt, their paper would sell as freely,
and would be as much sought for, as
any, and at correspondingly low rates
of interest. Who that has been lend
ing money out West to the farmers
who offered high rates of interest is
not sorry for his experiment? Yet the
same state of things is measurably
true right here in New England.
Farmers paper is not popular in banks,
or anywhere else, Notwithstanding the
goodness of the security. If the state
of things were otherwise-if farmers
had sufficiently lively sense of the
value of promptitude in business
they could borrow money at as low
rates as any class of borrowers in the
country. Some farmers can do so now,
and all of them might if they would.

PEOPLE who get themselves out of
order by unsanitary habits are always
running after some dietetic crank. No
crankery of this sort ever took stronger
hold than Graham's notion that we ought
to eat bran bread" To this day it is
frequently declared in the press, and
widely believed by the people, that
those who use fine flour will have I'M
sound bones and weak brains, be-
cause the phosphates are lost in the
bran" No heed is taken to the fact
that we eat many other phosphate
foods besides wheat. All our meats
contain phosphorus, as well as our eggs,
milk, fish, vegetables, etc. But there
is no harm in graham" if it is hon
estly made from good wheat-not of
poor -four mixed with poor bran. If
you want the genuine, have your own
wheat ground at your neighborhood
mill. There are, however, some who
can not digest this kind of bread.

THE MOONS OTHER SIDE.
An English Professors Lecture ON q Subject
Of Which Nothing il Known.


Prof. J. Rendel Harris of Cambridge Uni
versity, England. delivered lecture at Haver-
ford College. Haverford, Pa. on the Wrong
Side of the Moon," which was a fanciful and
at times amusing bit ofimagery. Professor
Harris began with the illustration of an ordi-
nary map showing the two hemispheres.
From this we have a right to assume" said
he, that the moon is also two-sided. though
it is only seen in maps as a fat circular plate.
One side is always invisible. the other always
turned toward the earth This phenomenon
is the result of two orbital motions-the one
on it, own axis, the other about the earth, and
both are accomplished in the same time of
twenty-seven days. The illustration of a
student moving about a tree on the college
campus all the while keeping his face turned
toward the tree Is I type of thu actual lunar
motion. This WAS no. orig Ially so. but Just
as log in a stream is FASTENED impeded
until its velocity Is the same as the water. 50
the moon has been drawn by the earth and
presents always the same face. A similar case
OF this is found in the planet Mercury, re-
Gently discovered Is have this property.
NO one will ever see the wrong side of the
moon. For us il is invisible. We thus see
that the moon il wonderfully stable and con-
stAnt IN always presenting the same front.
When We assume there is a side of the moon
which We never see. We might assume the
possibility of air. water and intelligent life
there Here We should expect TO find the man
IN the moon. the dog and the thorn. Certainly
there ID no water or vegetable life on this side
u the moon But there are volcanoes and
these cannot exist without water. 50 that we
may assume that the water has been absorbed
gone to the wrong side.
If ve Assume that there exists a people on
the wrong side We may suppose that they
possess scientific knowledge. They would be
equally incredulous in regard to our earth AZ
are in regard to them"
Professor Harris then gave a supposed reci-
tation in lunar college. remarking that the
life Of a professor there would be very trouble
some. Then supposed lunar scientific expe-
dition suggested with the reports of its
Hovsme nts in the lunar newspapers.
