The beauty of null is something that

SCREWS FoR REPAIRS.


In Most Instances They Are Far More
scrvtceabie Than Nails.
A good supply of screws, of various
lengths and sizes, should be kept, for
in very many places where nails arc
commonly used screws would be very
much better. Screws will hold two
pieces of wood more rigidly than nails;
whereas IL is difficult In most instances
to tighten loose work with mails in
places where there Is an unusual strain
on the parts TO be held together. BY
the gross they can be purchased very
cheap and, in the long run, found no
more expensive In many places than
nails. Screws may be made to hold in
soft wood or where the cut has become
too large, by the use OF glue. Prepare
the glue thick, immense a stick about
half the size of the screw, aud put it
and drive il home as quickly as pos
sible. When there is some article of
furniture to be repaired and no glue is
to be had handily, insert the stick and
fill the rest of the cavity with pulver-
lied resin: then heat the screw SUN
GENTLY To melt the resin as it is
driven in.
In broken plastered wall the best
plan is TO enlarge the hole to about
twice the diameter of the screw, fill 1t
with plaster of paris, such as is used
for fastening the tops of lamps, etc,
and bed the screw in the soft plaster.
When the plaster has set the screw viii
be held very firmly. If screws are
warmed and dipped in melted tsiiow
or raw linseed oil, it will prevent their
rusting and they can always be un-
screwed with case. A large quantity
Of screws can be CREASED in a few
minutes, and the operation is one
which will result in great saving Of
time and labor.

A SLAVE FROM BOYHOOD.

(From the Red Win0, MINI, Reptblicdn.)
81 am now twenty-four years DID, said
Edwin Swanson, OF White Rock, Goodhue

tive, land as You can sec l am not very

but on the contrary lean hardly state the
exact time when 1t began. Tho first syinp-

FARM AND GARDEN.

I call IL New England method"
nor, though 1t may DO practiced else
|where. have not in other places OBJ
|.eryed its use to anything like the ex-
Rent that Is to be seen in New Eng
hand. This matters little, however
The main point Is to bring the value of
| the plan TO the attention Of farmers
| that now permit their manure piles to
| ~ leached by every rain and by the
melting SHOWS of winter, such manure
heaps being usually situated alongside
fhe barn and directly under the caves
which may or may not have cutters to
carry off the rain that falls upon the
roofs. OF course. those who leave
their stable dressing exposed to such
ambitions do not fully realize the loss
they are suffering, for Il seems hardly
credible that anyone would be so ex-
trayagantly wastefnl II he realized
The truth about the matter. i have In
mind now one farm where for sixty
Years or more the dressing of from ten
% twenty head OF stock has been thus
thrown out under the gutterless caves,
and after every heavy rain during all
that time thick brown stream has
run down from the barnynrd and
ooursed along through ravine till II
emptied into a river. Fully one-half
Of the value of all the dressing made
on that farm for sixty years has thus
run down into the ocean. AS matter
NJ fact, presume that much more
han half of the value has been lost,
or on this same farm the liquid por-
hon OF the manure go per cent at
east in value of the whole) has been
kllowed to run down through the
tN-up" floor, instead of being saved
By tight manure gutter and the use
pfabsorbents 1t is just such wretched
management as this which keeps so
many of our farms run OUT and so
,nany of our farmers discouraged.
There is little enough stable dressing
made on any place, and when this is
leached of from so to rs per cent. of it's
fertilizing qualities, 1t is small wonder
that the crops are meager and that
one crop seems to use up nearly all the
dressing put upon the land, leaving
| little for subsequent crops of grain or
grass
Some barns have manure cells where
all the dressing made, including the
liquid portion, can be saved; but such
barns are the exception and not the
rule. Barnyards entirely covered by
one or more roofs are excellent where
they can be afforded, but it is useless
70 urge the great body of farmers to
roof over their entire yards for the
protection of both stock and manure.

A simple and inexpensive protection
for the manure, such as Is illustrated
herewith, is not out of the reach Of
anyone, however, and with its use the
manure can be kept safe from all
teaching. The manure is usually
thrown out in heaps by the side OF the
barn. A shed roof can be built over
these at small expense. The cut shows
the method OF framing. the dotted
lines showing the boarding of the
ends The only mistake likely TO be
made is In getting the roof too narrow,
with the result that rains accompanied
by wind may beat in and wash the
outer part of the piles, which will
spread out upon the ground more or
less, even with careful management
The outer edge of the roof need be
only high enough that cart can be
backed under it, and being thus low
will aid not little in keeping out the
rain; but even with low roof 1 should
want n width of at least twelve feet
and good gutter upon the outer edge.
Let the ground be level under such n
shed roof, or. at most, but slightly
sloping, else the manure will be con-
tinually rolling out from under the
shelter OF the roof when thrown out OF
the windows.
Where such an arrangement is used,
care must be taken TO have the cattle
stalls we'll lighted from the ends OF the
barn.-WebO Donnell, In N. Y. Trib-
