FEEDING FLOOR
HAY.,MOWS

The ordinary barn to be seen through
out the country is figured here, with a
cheaply-made addition that solves the
problem of how 10 preserve the full
value of stable dressing. This manure
shed has cement or tamped clay
floor. The latter will answer if the
location is dry. A car that dumps
easily, or even a wheelbarrow, is run
along the walk behind the row of cat
tie and the manure taken up, plenty of
litter having been used to take up all
the liquid, and the whole is wheeled to
the manure shed and piled there daily,
or, what is better, it is spread out daily
over the floor of the shed and covered
with sufficient litter to keep the sur
face dry, and upon this young stock is
allowed to run, being fed in the shed
from the main feeding floor. Colts
could also be allowed to run loose here.
The manure will become hard-packed
under the continued tramping, and will
be in no danger of overheating. A big
door may be arranged at both ends of
the shed. SO that a team can be driven
right through, or the team could be
backed in through a single door,

PARsIMONY IN FEEDING.
There Is Such a Thing as shoddy In Fooo
as Well as in Cloth.

There Is Such Thing as Shoddy in Fooo
as Well as in Cloth.
The first essential thing in stock
raising is to provide an abundance of
first-class foods of sufficient variety, and
the next thing in impor lance is judi
cious use of it. Animals may be in
jured by overlooking as we'll as by
starving. Too much food is especially
dangerous if the animals are confined
too strictly 10 a single article of diet or
one-sided food. An article like corn
is almost wholly composed of starch or
carbon and another product may con-
tain too large a proportion of nitrogen
or phosphate, while a proper com bina-
ton of these would prove profita BILE
as a balanced ration, requiring a less
amount of product to secure the same
result
A dairyman of experience says: Par
simony is one, and a very mean thing,
and economy is another, most excel
lent thing. They are widely different,
yet it is common for them to be con-
founded and mistaken for one another.
Not infrequently, men who think they
are practicing the virtue, economy. are
really guilty of the vice. parsimony. This
mistake occurs in all various walks of
life. but am to-day only interested in
some forms of it in dairy practice.
There is much talk in the papers and
from the platform, by writers and lee
turers. as to the necessity for cheaper
ing production. Now, am painfully
aware of the vise-like grip of compete
ton on prices, and the consequent ex,
treme difficulty of making both ends
meet, but I am quite sure that the
cheapening may be overdone-thar in
trying to cheaper production one may
injure the product and seriously impair
the producer. In trying to reduce the
cost of cow food one may spoil the
quality of the butter and injure the
cows. There is such thing as shoddy
in food as well as in cloth.-Western

have different ways of wasting plant
fertility-ways that, though differing,
all lead to disastrous results. With the
great majority. of farmers who waste
valuable plant food it is the old story
of allowing stable manure to deteri-
crate before its application to the soil
In many cases it is thrown out OF
doors, to be leeched of it's most valu-
able qualities by every rain and shower,
or to be more or less completely de-
stroyed by heating. The majority of
farm barns do not have. and in many
cases cannot have, cellars under them,
in which manure can be kept without
losing any of its value. A plan that
may be serviceable to such as are thus
situated is presented in the illustration
and the diagram accompanying this

A curious and interesting fact given
by the registrar-general in his statis-
tics for 1898 is that in the Celtic por-
tions of the United kingdom the pro-
portion of the female births is much
hihger than it is in the non-Celtic por-
tions. The highest proportions are
found in Cumberland, Cornwall and
north Wales, while south Wales is only
a little way down in the list, and has q
proportion considerably above the aver
age for the whole country. The pro-
portion of female births is higher in
Ireland and Scotland than in Eng land

and the steps that usually served to
scale the fence had been carried away
to be painted in order to present a
more creditable appearance at the cele-
bration.
AS the children stood wondering how
they could most easily get in a neat
little old lady came round the corner
of the churchyard and joined them.
She stopped and looked when she saw
the steps were gone. The children
noticed she carried a crutch and was
lame.
"How can get imp she asked, ap-
pealingly.
The children looked at her and then
at one another.
''Oh, say. Lu," Fred began, suddenly,
don't you remember there used to be
some loose pockets over on the other
side? Maybe can take them cut, and
we can all get through in that way"
Come on; let's see.'' And Lulu and
Fred went to examine the fence.
The old lady sat down on the grass
and smiled at Mollie and Nellie.
''Im very tired. children" she said,

of lilacs and syringas, which she laid
down in her lap.

boy, you know, he was killed in the
war"
"a sold;er!" the children said under
their breaths.
Yes, a soldier, and brave one, too,
even if it is his mother who says.it- He
was only eighteen. He enlisted younger
than they meant to take them, but he
was large and full grown and he was
wild to go. Oh, those were terrible
times, back in -terrible!-terrible!
and a tear trickled down the old lady's
cheek.
1--WE always intended to have a stone
with his name and the company to
which he belonged, and Died in de-
tense of his country at Vicksburg'-but
stones used to cost more than they do
now, and then fifteen years ago we
moved away, and after that we didn't
seem to have good luck. John-that's
my husband-and l used to come here
every year to Roberts grave; till eight
years ago John died, and I've been
coming alone ever since"
The children were silent, and Nellie
was wiping her eyes on the corner of
her checked apron. Finally Mollie
asked, softly:
DO you live far from here?'
Eyes, it's days journey, and I'm
getting so old and so lame that each
wear I'm afraid won't be able to come
the next"
Just then Fred and Lulu came back.
"Oh, we've found splendid place to
get in. Come ont" they cried.
Nellie helped the old lady to her feet
and Ike pit at her side, while Mollie led
the way with Fred and Lulu. She told
them softly all about the old lady's boy
soldier.
They helped her carefully through
the fence where Fred had pulled out
the pickets, and then followed her
slowly down the soft green paths, be-
tween graves covered with myrtle and
star-like, blue flowers. She brought
them into a forsaken corner to a grave
covered with rose briars and hidden
under last years dead leaves. Then
she sank down and said, piteously:
"I'll have to rest"

All France is showing a great a,

All France is showing great and
growing enthusiasm for Joan of Arc,
the new patron saint. A splendid
statue of st. Joan is to be erected at
Vaucouleurs, and subscriptions toward
it's cost have even been opened in every
regiment of the army. The awakening
of interest in the Maid of Orleans has
led to queer and heated controversy,
still raging, between the supporters of
the church and the eethinkers- The
former claim Joan as all their own,
while the latter retort with illusions
to the circumstances of her death. It
is true, however, that the memory of
Joan of Arc is now venerated more
than ever before by all classes of the
French people.

The engine which draws the

York looks like miner's cabin, being
housed in from the rail level to the
stack. Not seeing the wheels &c
