Moral influence of Farm Life.

Hon. Scion A. Thatcher said to a
Kansas audiences: at is safe to say that
every question which contains within
it's solution what Emerson calls moral
ity has found its staunchest advocates
and defenders, numerically at least, in
rural communities. The seclusion of
the farmers life, the evenings devoted
to books and current literature, the
anxiety for lives of probity and useful
ness for his children, devoting many a
twilight hour to the planting of bright
and hopeful thoughts in earnest, IN
quiring hearts-the room for medita-
ton upon the teachings and readings
of the night before, as many an almost
mechanical duty fills the hours--all
these aids and impulses bestow upon
the farmer and his children opportuni-
ties for right learning and right views
not possessed by those whose nights
are full of intrusions and alluring
anusements or enjoyments."

SO as to leave clear space from the
floor to the ridge, the whole length Of
the barn, for using fork or sings As
will be seen, the purlin posts run from
floor to rafters, with beam from near
the top of the main posts to these, and
the whole well braced The slant
ing brace from beam to rafter, midway
between the main and purlin posts,
marked A, may be omitted If the
rafters are made strong enough to
support the roof without sagging.
For posts and beams, / would advise
sxs, sx10, or 10x1U-inch, according to
the kind of timber used. The braces
will be better if doubled, with AKA
scantling. By doubled is meant plac-
ing one on each side of the timber. BY
all means, they should be framed in,
SO as to be pinned at each end, they
then brace both ways. 1879 -h
A barn of this size with 10-foot base
ment-it should not be less-will afford
plenty of room for 60 cows placed In
two, rows in stalls, heads out, and a
driveway for hauling manure in clean
ing the stables. 1t will give stalls that
may be varied in size from to 81 feet;
or they may all be put in of the same
size. To ventilate the stable, two
trunks or chutes may be run down
each side of she barn, not less than
three feet square, into the feeding
alleys in front of the COWS. These
should extend up the side of the
barn to the rafters, follow them up,
and unite from each side in the bot
tom of vcntilating cupolas, which
should be provided with swinging
doors. In this case doors may be placed
along the sides of the chutes to be
open so as to use them for throwing
fodder and bedding from the loft to
the stable. Or, if preferred, and it is
certainly best, two trunks four feet
square may be run from the basement
to the cupola, being placed in the CEN
ter of the barn sideways, equi-distant
from the ends and having separate
chutes for forage. 1 am aware that,
theoretically, it is better to have these
ventilators go down to near the floor.
But practically, have never seen any
difference, SO i would not try to have
them go down if adopted the plan of
having separate ones near the center.
If made them do double duty, and
placed them at the side of the barn, l
would put them down to within three
feet of the floor if 1 wished. If the
stables are properly cleaned, and
plenty of absorbents is used, 1 have
never seen any trouble in getting pure
air in if I provided for taking the inn
pure air out; so it is not necessary to
be to any expense on this score.-J. 8.

CHOOSE mares that are young, sound,

1T is true, in measure, that the ne

A good clover pasture is one of the
best places for both brood sows and
their pigs. A mixture of grass is de-
sirable rather than otherwise. Blue
grass is best liked by hogs, but orchard
grass has advantages from its early
and luxuriant growth and because of
its unusual rapidity of growth after
being cut and eaten off even in dry
weather when blue grass grows slowly
or scarcely at all. For the spring pas.
turage of sows and pigs rye starts early
and is quite palatable. A mixture of
oats and peas is much liked by many
southern hog raisers. Early sweet
corn, stalk and ear, is relished by
swine and is eaten with avidity. Dent
corn furnishes a succession of food.
Root crops have also been found of
great value and where artichokes make
thrifty growth are good and eco
nomical feed.-Farn- and Home.

The Ballad of a Botanist.


Neas the quiet little village OF n trim New
England town
Lie the peaceful, pleasant acres OF farm OF
fair renown,
Where the fond pursuit OF botany
Doth Danish all monotony,
| And tan the faded cheek rudy brown
Here Euphorbia CyparisSias% waves q welcome
unto all,
Ampelopsis quinquefolia spreads its mantle
DER the wall
While from Salix Babylonica
! And Cydonia Japonica
With cheerful chirp the wrens and robins call.
Leonurus and Linaria lead our steps along the
lane
Where Lilium ana Trillium and Uvularia reign,
And Asclepias Cornuti-
Good for greens II not for beauty.
Like Urtica though its touch entaileth pain
Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum the grassy
fields adorn,
The fragrance OF Trifolium on every breeze is
borne,
And the tall verbascum Thapsus+
In very rapture wraps u.s.
! As its kingly candle kindles in the morn
In the woods the Anemone nemorosa you will
find,
Mitchella, Tiarella, and the 1.-the Celastrus
twined,
And Monotropa Hypopitys-
A very spooky crop 1t is
That may scare the superstitiously inclined.
There are many more that flourish on this fair
and fertile farm,
/ should greatly like to name them all, and
catalogue each charm
The curious Crucifere, umbrelared
Umbellifere,
The laughing Labiatss, the glorious
Aggregate,
Rosacee, Malvace@-but do not take
alarm
For I'm only just botanist and really mean
no harm

The southern and Pacific states suf-
fer least, though the mountain states
and some of the extreme northern
states enjoy nearly equal immunity.
California, for instance, had but one
barn struck in three years col, '92, '93)
and no dwellings,; Colorado had none
struck in the same time, Arizona none;
District of Columbia none; Indian ter
ritory none; Nevada none; Wyoming
none; Washington only one barn and
one house in 1891, and so on. The CEN
trail states suffer most. New York had
30 barns struck in 81, 1T in '92, and SO
in 90; dwellings, in 81; % in '92, and
26 in '93. Michigan had 20 barns in '91,
20 in 'e2, and IS in 90. Pennsylvania,
20 in 81, 70 in '92, and % in '93. Ohio
had &c barns struck in both 81 and '92,
and Is in '93; dwellings,, 8, 4, and 10,
respectively. Indiana, in the same
three years, had 81, SO and 20 barns,
and z, 8, 12 houses. Last year 1856 per-
sons were killed, 351 severely injured,
26s barns struck with a damage of

Statistical study shows that the risk
from lightning is five times greater in
the country than in the city. This is
accounted for by the tin and metal
roofing, the metal cornices, cutters,
spouting, etc, and the presence of
electric wires in such great abundance.
The oak among trees is most frequent
ly struck and the beech least frequent
ly. The proportion stands about as
follows: One for beech, Is for pines,
40 for other trees, and 81 for oaks

TO USE THE KNIFE

And Submit to a Painful Operation-This
the Doctors Advised as the Only Hope,
the Case Being n Critical One-The Hap
ply Termination of Deep Rooted Preju-
dice. .... .... .....
Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Hartville, Mo-,
had an interesting experience with the doc
tors recently, and was on the verge of n
painful surgical operation. He writes: II
hereby add my unqualified endorsement of
your excellent remedy, s. S. s. For six
years have been sufferer from scrofu-
lous affection OF the glands of my neck, and
all efforts of physicians in Washington,
ID. c., Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed
to reduce the enlargement After six
months constant treatment here my physi-
clan urged me to submit to removal of the
gland. At this critical moment friend
recommended S. S. s., and laying aside a
deep-rooted prejudice against all patent
medicines, | began its use. Before | had
used one bottle the enlargement began to
disappear, and now it is entirely gone, and
/ am almost cured. i am not through with
my second bottle yet. Had only used your
s. S. S. years ago, l could have escaped
years of misery and saved over S150. II
this endorsement will serve you in any way,
use itn ..... ..
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The
doctors can do no good, and even their re-
sorts to the knife prove either fruitless or
fatal. s. S. S. is the only real blood rem
edy. 1t gets at the root of the disease, and
forces it out permanently.

NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
Some Now Ideas in the Department Of
Woman's Dress.

Middle-aged brides are greatly
troubled about suitable dress, especial
ly so if they are widows, and not enti-
tied to the use of white and the veil as
are those of younger years. A very
handsome dress recently ordered was
of heliotrope silk. The skirt was the
usual plain and full model, with a
demi-train, the waist close-ftting and
with a short bodice back, and fronts
fitted in with one dart and opening
over full vest of creamy crepon. The
fronts had extensions covering one
third of the length of the skirt, and
from these fell very elegant jet fringe
forming panels at the sides. The high
rolled back collar was edged with jet
embroidery; the full-topped sleeves
were without trimming.
There is great deal of discussion
about the dress that lady should wear
for bicycle riding. In the first place,
it is not necessary to emphasize the
fact among sensible women that a
skirt of some sort is absolutely indis-
pensable. The woman who goes out
in boomers or trousers gets entirely
out of her sphere, and makes herself
ridiculous. There is neither sense nor
reason in woman being anything but
womanly, no matter what she does.
The skirt may be but little below the
knees, but skirt it must be if she would
preserve her femininity and credit for
the average amount of brains.
An elegant visiting dress is made of
gray cloth, with band of passemen-
terie at the edge of them. The waist
is of very dark blue perforated cloth,
through which the color of the skirt
material shows. The sleeves are of
blue cloth matching the perforated
fabric, the tops of them being plain
and the long cuffs of the cut-out ma
terial. Passementerie collar and epau-
lets match the trimming on the skirt.
A stylish cape is of accordion-plaited
Charlotte, with stripes of very elaborate
and handsome brocaded ribbon. These
stripes run from the collar to the lower
edge of the garment. The ruching
around the neck is of the material.
lined with silk and plated very full.
Ribbons and bows finish the 'front.' IN.

II Has No Cross Timbers In the Way o4
Fork or Sings.
Subscribers occasionally ask how to
build barn 45x10o feet, with base
ment, so as to have no cross timbers in
the way of fork or sings For such a
barn, I would not think of using posts
less than "a feet long. With posts so
long, the barn will cost no more than
If the posts were but 10 feet long, ex-
cept the extra lumber used in posts
and siding, and one additional girt,
while twill hold fully double as much
in the mows
The old way of building barn, IL
only 3ox4o feet, was to have ''strad-
die grit" ''big beam" and a "purlin
beam, so that with IA or 16-foot posts
there was but very slack space be-
tween timbers, and 1t was almost out
of the question to use horse fork.

us that the records of the bureau for

lives were lost in the United States
from lightning, an average of 224 per
year. The records Of fires kept
