any kind of stock-hens, pigs, calves,
colts or sheep. With such an addition
to barn, not only will the covered
yard, with all its advantages, be Sc
cured, but accommodations will also be
secured that will enable one to have all
the farm stock gathered into one place,
under one roof, virtually. This will be
found a great labOr-saVing arrange
ment, and the covered yard thus Sc
cured will be adjacent to all the stock
quarters, and so at once accessible to all
the stock. A tight board fence could be
built along the front If desired, which
would still further protect the yard
from wind. At either extremity Of this
fence should be gate, so that farm
team could be driven in on one side,
loaded with manure and driven out on
the other side, thus giving an easy turn.
This addition can be built out to any
length desired, though it is to be re-
membered that the longer 1t is, the
darker it will be far within the yard,

district to market or through manufac-
turing districts, ought to have lower
grades than simple neighborhOod roads
The traffic determines whether it will
pay to go around hill or over it. If it
is q poor road, those who use it must
suffer for it, either by. hauling more
loads or increasing horsepower. Avoid
dead-level roads unless they can be we'll
drained. Avoid swamps, if possible. 1t
is very expensive to build good road
through marsh, and expensive to main
tnin.
Do not lose sight of the drainage ques-
tion. 1t is easy enough to drain where
grades are, but dead-level valley roads
are too often little earth thrown up
between two long frog ponds. Drain
these off, if possible, for, depend upon
it, drainage is the soul of good road.
Avoid crossing streams, whenever pos
sible. Bridges add much to the cost of
a road.
III general, keep your grades as low as
you can consistently with the purposes
for which the road is built, and the
ability Of the people to pay for work.
not forgetting that the better the loca-
ton, the less it will cost to build and
maintain the road.
Some persons think that the day of
the road horse is about ended, and the
roads should be located and built to
suit some sort of motor. do not share
the belief. The horse will be with US a
good long time yet, but road that is
good for horses is good for anything
else.

COVERED BARNARD.

With 1t an Increased Amount OF Stock
Can BE Kept.
The value of covered barnyard is too
apparent to need extended argument
to prove it's worth upon the farm. With
it as a factor in farm management 1t
is possible to keep the manure from
teaching, even in the slightest degree,
and keep it also from that bane of most
manure heaps, "fire-fanging." With
the covered barnyard all the manure
can be wheeled out daily, kept covered
with litter, and kept 80 closely packed
by the running of cattle upon it that too
rapid heating is not at all possible. In
the covered yard there is, moreover, al
ways q chance for the stock to exercise
and secure fresh air, without exposure
to storms or cold winds. There is an
other use also to which the covered yard
may be put, in some localities, at least,
