There is somehow concentrated int

OF the laws of life, however, that We
live only an hour at time; that worl
and loss are distributed over q long
period, and are not crowded into s

the work of q whole life at any mo

but, because that work is divided int<
fragments, the weakest man, If he have
courage, is able to carry the load. A

PLAN OF STABLE AND CARRIAGE HOUSE.
which divisions may be light so as to
be easily removed when desired to
form the box; but it would doubtless
be easier and more convenient, in the
long run, to construct separate box
stall, which would always be ready
and not out of order. 4. Carriages may
be arranged in less space where there
is free open floor, than by providing
special stalls for each, if the attendant
uses common ingenuity. If the feed
for the four horses, in sufficient quanti-
ty to last through winter, is intended
to be kept in the building, an ample
space overhead must be provided for
fifteen tons of hay, and part of the
feed room may be allowed more space
so as to make of it granary. The de-
sign here given will apply in the con.
struction of cheap wooden buildings,
or to the more finished ones built OF
masonry. We sometimes see costly
ones awkwardly arranged, and occa-
sionally cheaper ones with nearly per-
feet interior arrangements.-Country

SHEDS FOR STOCK.
Shelter from Rain and Sun In SUNNI,
and Cold In Winter.

Shelter from Rain and Sun In Summer
and Cold In Winter.
When q farmer not skilled with
tools desires a good building erected he
is under the necessity of employing a
carpenter, but because he is not able to
have what he desires his stock need not
be made to suffer thereby. A shed NAV
be built by anyone who can use ham,
mer and saw, SO as not to be unsightly,
and afford good protection from the
storm. On one side of the yard make a
tight board fence five or six feet high;
then in the yard. ten or twelve feet
from fence, set post eight feet high di-
rectly in front of the fence posts Put
on plate at the tops of the long posts
to run parallel with the fence. Put an
other plate through the center parallel
with the other. supported by post; then
put on a board roof. The ends may be
boarded or not, as you may choose. As
this shed is chiefly for affording shelter
from rain and sun in the summer it
may be left open at the ends. Sheds of
this kind also afford protection from
cold storms later in the season, before
horned cattle are put in the stable, or
for those that are left QRt during win
ter.
The same structure as described be-
fore, with the ends boarded down to
within two and half feet of the
ground, will shut out cattle and afford
a good shed for sheep. On the same
plan q larger shed may be built in any
location desired. Make two parallel
side walls after the manner of the
tight fence. twenty feet apart and as
long as desired; then set high posts in
the center and roof down each way.
Where it is desired to make q more
slightly piece of work frame may be
made of scantling of any size desired.
A good-sized stone with an upper fiat
surface should be used for the scant-
ling posts to rest upon. - Farmers

If you want the best food, you viii be interested
in the following facts, which show why Royal"
is the best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal its sale greater in this
country than the sale Of all other cream of tartar
baking powders combined.
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
1t Il absolutely pure and wholesome.
It IL combined from tho most approved
and healthful ingredients.
It makes the finest favored, most tender,

1t has greater leavening strength than

1t makes food that win keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may he eaten hot

The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it is made from chemically
pure materials; another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavenine
power. It has been the standard baking powde,
since its Introduction. The founder and con-

Housekeepe,s Should Seriously Consider:

knowledge and skill attained by over quarter Of
a centurys experience is available in its present
preparation. The consumer is not experimental
upon by changes of formula that are constantly
being made in other powders in an effort to get .
mixture that viii not cake" or lose its strength,
or that follow changes Of propnetorship or manu-
facture1s. The Royal Baking Powder is always
certain and equal in its work; teaspoonful does
the same perfect work to-day that it did yesterday
OF last week OF month, or last year.
While the last teaspoonful in can of Royal IS
as good as the first, other powders lose their
strength after being made short time, and par
ticularly after the can is opened.
The exactness with which the active principle
of each ingredient prior to mixing is ascertained
against the receipt into the works of an impure in
gredient; the care with which the materials are
dried, coated and prepared before their combina-
ton, and the precision in packing the powder so
that it shall be delivered to the consumer in the
perfect condition in which it leaves the factory,
are some of the details which go to make the
perfect Royal"
The same means are not employed by other
manufacturers. There have been great many
limitations of the Royal, but no equals. Pure
materials are not employed, care is not taken in
their preparation and combination, while in tho
great majority of baking powders alum is added to
give them strength, while cheapening their cost.
The great popularity and general use Of tho
Royal Baking Powder attest its superiority.

Turnip Flavor In Milk.

If turnip flavor gets into milk the
only way to get it out, according to an
English writer, is to heat the milk in a
water bath to 1876 or 40 degrees imme-
diately after milking. This will COM
pletely eradicate the turnip flavor. and
the milk will make good, sweet butter.
The heating of the milk will also cause
the cream more perfectly to rise if set
In shallow pans, and will thus increase
the amount of butter. We have often
described the mode of heating milk in q
water bath. which is, in short, to set
the vessel containing water to circu-
late under the vessel containing the
milk BY raising it on two thin bars of
iron. The milk will then be heated by
hot water and cannot be scorched. Tho
faint of milk from sour or mouldy en-
silage is removed by heating it to 100
degrees. We have made butter quite
satisfactory to very particular custom
era after thus heating the milk.
