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 planks 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 filed
with soil and tramped firmly for walk
behind the cows.
A two by four-inch joist is set up
edgewise, about six or eight inches
from the starchions 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, ard there is one inch slant to
the floor.
Before laying the planks 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 IL will rest firmly upon the sup
,,,, ,rip
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 a
narrow one six inches deep, which
gives cow wrench every time she
nav 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 trough fourteen inches wide in
front of the cows for feeding grain, is
elevated about four or five inches.
Were 10 build again l would have
my barn six feet wider SO as to give be-
hind each row of cows space for driving
a one-horse cart for clearing.
As to whether the cows should face
each other or stand with their backs to
each other, think cows are social, and
enjoy standing face to face.-Charles
B. Beach, in Rural New Yorker.

PROTECTION FOR CHICKENS.

accident. Strips of board ten or twelve
feet long are joined at the corners, and
the top strung with wire netting. A
small opening on one side connects with
the coop, which should have hinged
cover. A small door in one of the side
strips gives opportunity to feed and
water the inmates. Such an inclosure
can be moved occasionally to fresh
ground, and, if not overcrowded. the
broods can be thus kept confined until
the chickens are large enough to take
very good care of themselves

A HUSBAND and father has recently
won an ignominious legal victory over
the mother-wife. There came into
the household babe, not as we'll
spring of pleasure but as fountain
of strife. The man of the house, with
a dim, world-worn, but still affec-
tionate remembrance of one at whose
knees be had nestled, wished the
chiidTTsmed Mary Tbs mother stood
out for Maudita, thinking that, like
the infant itself, too sweet for any.
thing. To break the deadlock a
willy old uncle suggested Sarah as a
compromise candidate, but as this
meant a "hifalutin" Sadie to one fac
tion and a horrible Sal to the other,
the convention rejected the report Of
the committee of conference, and the
balloting went on. In the State
where all this happened there is a
law which requires registration Of the
name, date of advent, political affili-
ations and religious tenets of all lit
tie strangers, ana memorials connlct-
ing in point of cognomen were accord
ingly handed in by the father and
mother. This raised the question as
to which member of the matrimonial
partnership has the legal right to
name the joint product of the firm,
and this, most unrighteously, has just
been decided in favor OF the sire. No
such monstrous doctrine can stand.
The American father is not doing his
duty. He has no right to name his
infrequent babe. Here we are being
overrun with foreign bacteria of
alarming fertility, and the more laws
we pass to keep them out the more
| they come in. Meanwhile the Amer
lean family dwindles. Let the law
be that up to the seventh child the
mother shall name the baby, and tho
father after that.

The question Of wearing mourning at

and three out of the five defended the
practice. The gist OF their argument
was that tue mourner could not feel

they urged, demanded black toilets for
the grief-stricken. The fourth debater

The Illusion OF Coium bus.

Death saved Columbus" says
Peschel, "the> infection of a blow
which he probably would have felt
more than Boabdilla's letters. he
was allowed to carry to the grave the
glorious illusion that Cuba was a
province of the Chinese empire, that
Hispanio!a was the island of Zipangu,
and that only narrow strip OF land,
instead Of hemisphere covered by
water, interviewed between the Carib-
bean Sea and the Bay Of Bengal.
"The discoverer of America died
without suspecting that he had found
a new continent. He regarded the
distance between Spain and Jamaica
as the third part Of the circumfer-
ence Of the globe, and announced:
The earth is by no means as large as
is popularity supposed
The extension of the world by a
new continent had no place in his
conceptions, and the greatness Of his
achievement would have lessened in
his eyes IL he had been permitted to
discover a second vast ocean beyond
that which he had traversed, for he
would have seen that he had but half
accomplished his object, the connec-
tion of Europe with the East"
The successors of Columbus were
forced to renounce his error, as proofs
accumulated that a new continent
had been discovered, instead of the
eastern coast OF Asia.
But in comparison with the real
India this new continent seemed very
Insignificant in the beginning of the

Even Waldseemuller, who named
the new land after the Florcntine
explorer Amerigo Vespucci, had no
adequate idea of Americas vast ex-
tent.
The value Of the discoveries of
Columbus was not clearly seen until
the stream of gold began to pour into
Spain after the conquests of Cortez
and Plzarro.
Then the long-forgotten discoverer
was remembered and honored, and
the history OF his life was written,
with fanciful additions. Frank Les
