CHiLDREN'S VIEW OF WORK.


They Delight In Occupations and
Amusements of Grown People.
No scheme OF education has yet been
devised that can develop mind and
character without effort upon the part
of the pupil. and part of the compensar
ton of labor is the knowing that we
have performed it. Why should we deny
the child this natural qualification and
substitute for it the doubtful bliss of
an everlasting play spell? Wemust not
suppose that the child who is set to
some little task and told that he is play
ing is really deceived. The infant mind
is acute and divines much that we sup
pose securely hidden from it. All that
we effect by our Naturalization of work
IS to make labor distasteful; by siren
uously insisting that it is easy to do
thing we set too high a premium upon
ease and make slight hardship seem
an uncomfortable burden. Now, ! main
tain that work is not bugbear to the
unspoiled child's mind, and it is not un-
necessary, but injudicious, to cover up
the difficulty that may lie in an achieve
ment, since it is the realization of the
difficulty that braces his spirit and
stimulates his laudable ambition. That
is the prime want of all youth. To
grow, to advance. to do and be what
older people do and are. The delight
of infancy is to have furnished to it the
occupations and amusements of grown
people. in kind if not in degree, and
this emulation is wholesome if its
models are fair specimens of human
nature.
The child world is not very different
from the adult world, and left to himself
the little one builds his plans upon
the pattern his parents set before him
in their own daily avocations. He per-
ceives that they labor to certain ends.
they accomplish something. He. too,
yearns to accomplish something. and
his energies, expanding with use,
stretch out to larger and larger things,
until the happy contamination is
reached that he can do what father
does; in the case of little girl. what
mother does. have questioned little
Dnes and-a better way-observed them,
and have found that their delight is not
in any work purely infantile in its ma
ture. but in large work cut down to suit
their size. That they wantreal work,
not make-believe work. They desire to
feel that they have part in the world
and are necessary toit, and it is through
this innate desire to participate in the
functions of parents that child can
be guided to career of usefulness that
develops his talents and conduces to his
self-respect. Herein is where wise home
training is so valuable, so indispensable.

snace between them into which the
couplings, 6 or 8 feet in length,
are entered, thus firmly combining one
section with the next. The purlin
braces also enter this space at the proper
distance from each roof support, where
they are then spiked, the lower end OF
these braces being secured to the lower
end of the stays. The upper ends OF the
.n.,rIin nosts arc cut so as to form sad
dies into which the purlin plates drop
TO position.
II aaambrel roof is desired, the purlin
posts are placed at the proper angle
and extend above the roof support a
sufficient distance to give the pitch de-
sired for both sections Of the roof. At
this point the stays meet the posts and
short . by s planks are inserted and the
saddles cut in similar manner to those
of the plain gable roof.
While we have endeavored to make
the various points plain to the average
reader it is impossible to explain or IL
iustrate every point on paper.
An old railroad bridge engineer VINO
visited one of these barns in Michigan
declared it was the strongest barn frame
he had ever seen. Ten years hence all
frame barns will be built OF plank
e5ther by this system or some other.

a Zine INVESTMENT.

Money Spent for Good Roads Draws
an Immense Interest.
The strongest argument which can be
made for good roads is to show the re-
suits which have come with their con-
struction. Mecklenburg county, in
North Carolina, offers an illustration,
which contains an eloquent plea for
good roads. That county has built MAJ
cadamized roads during the past few
years. Before they were built, two
bales of cotton were considered
a good load on the old dirt road,
for q team of mules to draw.
That was during fairly good wealth
er. When the weather was bad,
no one undertook to haul cotton. Since
the construction of macadamized roads,
the ordinary load has been regularly in
creased from two bales of cotton to ten,
and the same single pair of mules con-
tinue to draw it. The weather, too, is
left entirely out of consideration. The
roads are just as good after a rain as at
any other time, Whenever the load can
be properly protected, farmers rather
prefer to do their hauling in rainy
weather, because they are then unable
to work in their fields. Col. J. G. Upton,
of North Carolina, is authority for these
statements, as made before the National
Road conference.
Good roads will always raise the value
of real estate. Ready access to market
is considered most valuable feature of
farm property. This is why farm near
to market town brings much higher
price than one situated several miles
away. Where a farm is connected with
a good market by first-class road, it's
distance becomes of little Importance.
This has been strihngly shown in New
Jersey. Farmers in that state have en-
joyed the benefits of good roads to a
greater degree, perhaps, than any
others.
Real estate has risen in value wher-
ever macadamized roads have been built.

when trees stop Growing.

Occasionally there will be a tree
which makes no growth, despite every
effort to provide it with all that 1t re-
quires. The tree may show no signs Of
disease, but simply makes no progress,
being no larger at the end of the third
or fourth year than at the beginning of
the second year. It is difficult to dis
cover the cause, but sometimes there
may be root lice, or disease, under the
surface. Remove the top soil, exposing
as much of the roots as possible, and
over an area of ten feet around the tree,
Add a pound of concentrated I've to
four gallons of boiling water; let 1t dis
solve, apply warm (not too hot) over
the roots, scatter peck of air-slacked
lime next, and return the top soil again.

PLANK BARN.

Diagrams and Description of Strong and
Convenient One.
Speaking of plank barns, The Ma
tional Stockman gives the plans for
building one of them and the illustra-
tions necessary to understand the plans
as follows:
Now as to the frame. While it saves
some labor to have the timbers of speoi-
fed lengths it is not necessary that
they should be SO. The frame may be
constructed entirely of planks eight feet
in length or any other given length,
from the fact that splice may readily
be made at any point.
The foundation being completed, the
bents are constructed upon the ground,

lin post and at the others to the collar
beams. The stays (12) consist Of two
planks. each by 6. to the lower end of
which, at 10. the purlin braces are Sc
cured.
In the frame one secures thorough
ly braced bent with very little labor,
and at the same time there is no timber
in the interior to be in the way.
Fig. shows side elevation of this
barn. Notice how thoroughly it is
braced both in the basement and super
structure. If the bays are more than 16
feet deep, it is advisable to insert an
extra by s post midway between the
main posts, letting the top Of the posts
come in between the tops of the two long
braces at the plates.
Fig. shows the manner of putting
the timbers together, stills, posts and
joint bearers being represented. Plank
by 4. Q by 6 or 2 by 8 is used for
packing in the posts of the end bents
and the basement posts throughout.

Quick RipeninE Peaches,

]. II. Hale, the greatest peach grower
on earth, gets ripe peaches two weeks
earlier by the following method: In
the middle of the growing season put
a strong wire around large arm of q
tree and twist it fairly tight This
checks the flow of sap and causes fruit
buds to form early and in greatnumber
The fruit on the branches of this arm
will ripen two weeks earlier than that
on the untreated branches and will be
much more highly colored. But this
part of the tree win be SO weakened BY
the treatment that it should be cut
away after fruitlng that new shoots
may come and take its place. Thus one
large arm or limb OF o tree may be
forced each year.

In family life do not let familiarity
swallow up all courtesy. Many of us
have habit Of saying to those with
whom we live such things as we say
about strangers behind their backs.
There is no place, however, where real
politeness is of more value than where
we mostly think it would be super

rather speak more plainly to your as
