Mr.. Fred Miller, of Irving, Ill, writes
that he had a Severe Kidney trouble for
many years, with sewers pains in his

A drive crosswise through this shed
would be more convenient in many
ways. II the hay is to be baled, the
bales could be conveniently stored. II
intending to bale, put the hay into the
shed in sections, ten to twelve feet long,
the entire width Of the shed, as it will
be much more convenient chat way for
getting out. Indeed, it will be the bet
ter way even II the hay is to be hauled
out, In which case arrange the floor SO
as to back the wagon under at X, Fig.
2. A shed Of this style can be built 20
feet wide and IS feet high, at cost Of
only 81 to $3.50 for each ton of contents,
and it will last 20 years. The siding, S
s S, may be Of cheap material, as the
slight slant inward will prevent the
water from running in. The floor, for
economy's sake, may be Of rails or
poles.
The practice Of cutting up and shred
ding the fodder is rapidly gaining
ground. A shed built built on the fore
going plan would answer admirably
for storing such feed. Stats would have
to be nailed across the lower openings,
of course. The elevator would carry the
cut FODDER in at the door, A. It Is hard
ly necessary to say that when barn
room and protection for stock are to be
taken into account, In addition to econ
omy Of handling, il is cheaper to so
construct the building as 70 give up the
entire floor space to stock, using only
the upper part for feed.-G. W. Waters,

The DECAY of Grass Roots.

Every time the ground freezes and
thaws many grass roots near the sur
face are snapped from the main stem,
we are told by a writer. 1t is doubtless
the decay Of these which contributes to
the increase Of fertility When fields are
kept In grass. Some of the grasses,
and especially the clovers, run out after
one or two years. The decay of their
roots in the soil helps to make the more
hardy and enduring varieties more
thrifty. We are apt to think that q sod,
so far as its roots are concerned, is a
constant quantity from year to year.
But If we could examine 1t every spring
we should probably find that many Of
its roots have dropped off, and will have
70 be replaced during the growing
season.
