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 manageme mt.
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 a little in keeping out the
rain; but even with low roof should
want a width Of at least twelve feet,
and good gutter upon the outer edge
Let the ground be level under such a
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 well lighted from the ends of tho
barn. Webb Donnell, in y. Y. Trib-

CHURCH NAMES.

THE Augustine Friars took their title
from the name of the founder Of their
order. st. Augustine. the first arch
bishop Of Canterbury, who died in COS.
THE Pantheist takes his name from
two Greek words, practically signifying
God everywhere. The Panthcist sees
in everything a manifestation of Deity.
THE Secularist was so named be-
cause he thought his principal duty
was to his fcllowmcn, that the end and
aim of life was to be realized in this
world.
THE Recommendations were so called
because one Of their chief doctrines
was the denial of the real presence of
the body Of Christ in the consecrated
bread.
PUsEYIrEs arc the followers of DR..
Puscy. q reformer in the Church of
England. Pusey's friends and follow
ers are also sometimes called ''Trac-
tarians."
THE word nun Is derived from the
Italian word norma, meaning grand.
mother" When nunneries were first
instituted the inmates were all very
aged women.

The main point Is To bring the value OF
the plan 70 the attention of farmers
that now permit their manure piles to
be leached by every rain and BY the
melting SHOWS Of winter, such manure
heaps being usually situated alongside
the 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
conditions do not fully realize the loss
they are suffering, for it. seems hardly
credible that anyone would be so ex.
travagantly wastcful il he realized
the truth about the matter. have in
mind now one farm where for sixty
years or more the dressing OF from ten
TO twenty head of stock has been thus
and after every heavy ram during all
that time a thick brown stream has
run down from the barnyard and
coursed along through a ravine till it
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
OF fact. / presume that much more
than half Of the value has been lost.
for on this same farm the LIQUID DOR
ton Of the manure go per cent at
least in value OF the whole has been
allowed to run down through the
"tie-up" floor, instead of being saved
by tight manure gutter and the use
OF absorbents. 1t is just such wretched
management as this which keeps SO
many of our farms run out and so
many 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 its
fertilizng qualities, it 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 il is useless
TO urge the great body Of farmers to
roof over their entire yards for the
protection Of both stock and manure.
