PLAN OF BARN FOR COLD COUNTRY.


and three inches deep and the walk
between the gutter and wall Is three
feet.
LAYING THE CUTTERS AND Floor
The ground was first made as level as
possible. The gutter was made OF two
ten-inch planizs kept level by placing
short pieces of inch boards crOsswise
under them. every three or four feet.
These were let into the earth so that
the gutter planks rest firmly on the
ground. On the gutter plank next to
the wall two By four-inch scantling
is spiked which makes the backside of
the gutter The space between the
gutter and the wall three feet is filled
with soil and tramped firmly for walk
behind the cows.
i two by four-inch joist IS set up
edrevisc, about six or eight inches
from the starchiOns a strip Of board
two inches wide is laid on the inside OF
the gutter plank. This and the two by
four ioist are for the floor planks to
rest on. and there is one inch slant to
the floor.
Before LAYING the planlzs for the lat
ter, both sides Of the joists and the
space to the gutter should be flied,
rounding full, of earth, so that each
plank. when laid. will have to be
pounded to settle it into the earth, SO
that it will rest firmly upon the sup
ports at each end. This will give a
water-tight floor and gutter, and they
will last much longer than if air circu-
lated underneath. The gutter is eight
cen inches broad, three deep in the
front. and two at the back, and will be
found much more satisfactory than
narrow one six inches deep, which
gives a COW a wrench every time she
may step into it. 1t is also much more
convenient to clean. For cleaning the
stable we use a long handled scoop,
and generally load the manure directly
from the stable on the wagon or sleigh,
and draw and spread it either on
meadow or land to be planted to corn
the following spring.
The feeding alley. with the exception
OF a trough fourteen inches wide il
front of the cows for feeding grain, is
elevated about four or five inches.
Were I to build again l would have
my barn six feet wider so as to give be-
hind each row of cows space for driving

ROBINSON CRUSOE'S.

ARE You Going for pleasure or are
you taking your wife with you?" used
To- bc the flippant question put to the
gentleman proposing TO spend his sum

take their wives as usual thing, but
their whole families also. To the latter
it may be suggested that in the environs
OF Paris there can be found no mere in

than .'Eobinson's." Take the whole
family there some afternoon with a
copy OF Robinson Crusoe' with you
for occasional reference.
Being in Paris you take railroad
train at the Care de Sceaux, asking the
ticket seller for return ticket to Rob

five cents. In twenty minutes you will
be at the end of your railroad journey
and you viii then ride in an omnibus
for fifteen across little valley and ar
rive at your destination in the forest of
Meudon. You enter an arch. over
which YOU will read in large letters the
name Robinson" OF course the word
is pronounced in the French way. and
does not sound exactly like the familiar
English name
You pass through the arch and you
are in a garden. which is arranged to
represent the island of Juan Fernan-

HOW TO COOK ASPARAGUS.
And Several Methods of Making 1t
DeIicious ii is HeaItIIfnI.

Delicious as L Is Heaithful.
Asparagus IS coming along now. and
she who would be the beloved of her
husband will see to it that the succulent
root is often before him. In preparing
it for the table the bunch should be
plunged into boiling water. which is
well salted. set down on the root end,
with the tips well out of the water. as
the steam cooks them quite sufficiently.
Almost any asparagus will be well
cooked after twenty-five minutes boil
ing. II can then be taken into a
colander and drained, the strings care
fully cut and the vegetables arranged
on toast to serve. There are several
sauces used with it-either plain butter,
pepper and salt, or yet a sauce Holland
aise being quite popular, or drawn but
ter may be poured over it. Sometimes
when the tips of the asparagus are
served with toast as an especially
dainty dish. the stalks are well boiled
and strained for soup. Asparagus
soup may be made with either stock or
water. If stock is used, the white is
prcfera bic. and cream is frequently
added to make the soup still richer. 1t
is delicious soup. Asparagus can be
steamed to warm it over. and can be cut
in small bits and stirred into an ONE
lette. if any happens to be left over
from dinner. Athcn1us wrote of aspara-
gus. for il Is no new invention, and
spoke of the wild and cultivated sorts,
saying that the flavor of the former was
much the finer: but if what he said was
true at the time, it is certain that the
ancient author never could have in
spected the product of a first-class Jer-
sey gardener.-N. Y. Press

SHEEP SHEARINGS.

AT 10 time and with no class of stock
IS It a good plan to wean too suddenly
make the change gradually.
IT is lamenta BILE but nevertheless
true. that dogs have more friends
among the Texas legislators than sheep.
WITH cheap pasturage, western farm
ers ought TO be able to readily COM
pete with the eastern farmer in raising
sheep.
So LONG as so many are SO careless in
feeding and dressing muttons for mar
ket. there will be a prejudice against
mutton.
AS TO whether it is best to sell sheep
early with the wool on. or later with
the wool of, can only be determined by
the prices.
THE flesh of the sheep partakes more
of its feed than either cattle or hogs,
hence the care necessary in fattening to
secure good mutton.
WHENEVER sheep are exposed to con-
ditions that keep the wool wet, es-
pecially in warm weather, cotted wool
Is generally the result
SHEEP will thrive better with a var
iety of feed in the pasture as well as
when on dry feed. and a pasture seeded
with variety of grasses viii give the
best results.
THERE is no remedy against sheep
killing dogs as safe as that of penn!rg
the sheep close to the house every night
1t may be some trouble but in many
localities it will prove good economy.
THE whole growth of the industry Of
sheep husbandry is dependent on the
health and vigor of the sheep. 1t fol-
lows therefore that the hockmaster
should never let up in his efforts to
prevent disease in his flock. An ounce
OF preventive is worth many pounds OF
cure.-Live Stock Indicator.

FURST'S INSURANCE.
Some Companies in Favor of Letting
Him Sue.

The insurance companies have by no
means decided to pay Charles S. Furst
the $4,000 insurance he claims to he en-
titled to. The companies are not salts
fed that Mr.. Fursu should receive any,
thing. They sent three representatives
to Chief Conway few days ago to re-
quest him to make a thorough investiga-
ton into the causes of the fire. Che
Chief declined to do this, claiming that
he had no jurisdiction in such matters.
He showed the insurance men sections of
the charter which convinced them that
the Chief was right. A meeting of the
representatives of the companies will be
held very soon, and the question Of paw
ing Mr. Furst or refusing to do so will be
thoroughly discussed. 1t is believed that
number of the companies are in favor
of letting Furst bring suit to recover the
Insurance money, so that the origin of the
fire may be fully inquired into.

to be closely watched. Yesterday he
managed in some way to elude the vigil
