PLAN FOR A BARN.

uhsap and Convenient Structure fos
. Small Farmer.
In the building of barn, as in tho
building of dwelling. the farmer
shouid seek to secure the greatest
amount OF comfort, convenience and
durability for the money invested.
In the plan herewith presented we
have cheap but convenient barn for q
small farmer. The barn proper is 32x42
feet and should be 20 feet to the caves.
There Is good grain bay 14x32 for the
grain In the sheaf. A threshing floor
14x32 with two decks overhead each
1ox14. On one of these decks, out of the
way OF the other things, should be the
oat and bran bins, with spouts lead

Experiments In Florida and Louisi
ana have shown that bamboo will grow
In those states almost as well as in the
hottest countries. Around Fort Mycre
there are bamboos that have attained
to height Of so or so feet. They are of
a variety which usually grows to about
20 feet in India. In Orange county
there is one clump Of bamboos, said to
be only ten years old, in which the
stalks have attained to the height Of
IS feet, the stalks averaging 13 inches
In circumference. There are eighty
stalks in the clump. This particular
clump is Of a variety from Bengal,
where the wood is used for building pur.

at Charlotte, Mich, before coming to Harts-

Some time ago he had severe illness
which was cured almost miraculously. A
reporter, hearing of this, interviewed him re.
garding his experience. Prof. Bowman was

called, but he cheerfully gave him hearing

Wages must go down." said Senator
Elkins in recent interview published
in the Cincinnati Enquirer. "Wage.
earners," continued the senator, "do
not wish to see it or believe it, but it
is So" And again he said: "Wages in
America stand against any revival of
business"
He was discussing the coal trade. He
said: I'VE do not export coal to Europe
because we have wages against us, and
that is the whole kernel of the coal
trade"
Being asked whether black labor was
settled IN the mines of West Virginia,
he said:
Firmly. 1t is as effective as white
hbor and does not combine and con-
spire, and the negro spends all he
makes, while the Italians and Poles
send every cent out of the country"
The senator has just as decided ideas
on the tariff question. He is firmly con-
vineed that protective duties, especially
those on coal, should go up. Tariff up,
wages down. That is what happened
under the Mckinley bill and is what
will happen and in fact is happening
under the Dingley bill. 1t is all done
In the interest of labor.

Broadly speaking, digestive disor.
ders in the horse invariably arise either
from defective food, over or irregular
feeding, or defective or irregular sup
ply of water. The average groom is no
great advocate for water, either for
himself OF his charges, and free supply
OF anything like 1t is clean against
stable traditions; yet the water ques.
ton as regards a suficiency or regular
supply has considerable bearing on the
prevalence or otherwise of cases of collie
in stable. A first essential is that both
grain and hay should be old and of good
quality. New oats and new hay are
less digestible than that matured by
keeping in bulk, and inferior food ID
never cheap food.-Rural World.

The senate tariff bill as a whole"
says ex-Congressman John De Witt
Warner, sis a notice to eastern manu-
facturers of what they may hereafter
expect. Hitherto they have considered
protection as sort of providential ar
rangement by which they were enabled
to feed on the rest of the country. Now,
like Polonius in Hamlet they are in
vited by "a certain convocation of polite
worms to a supper mot where they eat,
but where they are eaten The manu-
facturers of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania are to take their turn
at being mulcted for the benefit of 9TH
ers, who now control legislation. This
applies especially to the hide schedule"
"Cannot the New England senator's
secure favorable changes in that sched-
ule?"
II think not The bill as it stands is
satisfactory to the sugar trust, and
probably cannot be kept so except by
the votes controlled by the cattle trust
of the west. Were the New England SEN
ators willing to risk offending the sugar
trust, they could doubtless defeat the
duty on hides, but the fact is that Bos-
ton and Providence, in proportion to
their size. are far more thoroughly sat
urated with sugar trust influence than
is any other part of the country, and,
however much Senators Aldrich, Wet |
more, Hoar and Lodge may bewail the
fate of their boot and shoe manu-
facturers, there is no prospect whatever
that they will sacrifice the sugar trust |
interests to help them"

cunning enough to look as meek and

you can master him. Before trying to

noticed, have powerful internal organs.
They can digest considerable quantities
Of iron and then render it back through

which is easily digested by the weaker
stomachs Of mankind. So he feeds his

HousEwIFERY AND INDUSTRY,

housekeeper.
Among the most homely, but most es-

Laziness is very apt to come with
