''Nothin'. only Pm SICK" replied the

Just then car repairer for the road

lay on the floor. The stranger replied that
he came from Decatur, Ill. He suddenly
arose and crawling from the car disap-

COVERED BARNYARps.


Great Saving of Manure.
1t used to be IA common sight to see
the dressing from the cattle AID horse
stalls thrown out under the gutterless
caves of barns to be leached of at least
two-thirds of its manurial value by the
water that washed over it into some
neighboring creek or river. Such waste
full practices have to a considerable ex-
tent been succeeded by efforts to save in
its full value this backbone" of the
farm
Eaves troughs have come into more
general use than was formerly the case:
barn cellars have been excavatod under
old barns, and new barns located where
such opportunities for saving manure
could be secured while shed roofs are
frequently seen, especially in New Eng
land, protecting in some degree the ma.
nure heaps beneath the barn windows
Loose piles of manure. however, kept
dry under these shed roofs are subject to
serious fire fanging, as it is called, so
that in many cases the manure when
carried to the fields is of little more
value than that which has been lcacht d
of its best fertilizing elements. This
trouble is commonly avoided in the stor.
ing of manure in cellars, as hogs arc
usually kept upon the manure, and
these keep it both moist and well
tramped, SO that heating does not take
place rapidly.
Within recent years new method OF
protecting manure has found favor in
certain parts of the country, and this is
in the use of completely covered barn
yards, over which the accommodating ma
nure from the COW and horse stalls, the
calf and sheep pens, is evenly spread,
and coarse litter thrown on top the
whole being kept firmly packed by the
constant tramping of animals over it,
preventing all injurious heating. Such
a barnyard also provides splendid pro-
lection to animals when housed at night
during the summer, this roof protecting
them from heavy showers in the night
and affording an excellent opportunity
for exercise in the winter as all the
sides, except that toward the south, can
be protected against cold winds by be
ing temporarily boarded up.
! With all due regard to this and other
means for saving manure, however,
says American Agricultulist, it should
be thoroughly understood that manure
is never worth any more than at the
moment it is voided by our farm ami
mails. 1t then contains as much nitro
gen, potash, phoSphoric acid, lime, etc,
as it ever will contain. The sooner it is
put upon the land the less waste there
will be Of those elements of plant food
unless the land is so exposed that tho
manure viii wash off or is so sandy
that the plant food will leach away and
be lost. Because eXcrement does not
improve by keeping, it is applied at
once

In jumping hurdles the one thing which
is Imperative is not to jump them. Hurdle
racing has become entirely an Artificial
sport. 1t was discovered that, by taking
oil from one foot and landing on the other,
and by covering the ten yards between
each hurdle in three strides, the hurdles
could be run over, instead of jumped and
it was also discovered that the man who
couldn't perform this acrobatic feat was
not in the same hunt with the man who
could. y long jumper, with turn of
speed, has much better chance of bccOm-
ing good hurdler than high jumper.
1t is Il paStime which requires much prac-
tice. You must harden your Sims and
keep as near to the top bar of the hurdle
rs you can. If you are clearing the hur-
dies by too much you must practice lcav
ing part of the skin Of your leg on the top

Oxford who, by assiduous practice,
brought the surmounting - one could
hardly call it the cloaring-of hurdles tC
the highest point of perfection, was in the
habit of humping each hurdle in practice
to make sure he was not going too high,
and of going through the top rail when il
was movable, and sometimes when it was
not, in order to be quite certain that there
was nothing unnecessary to spare.-Fort
