How an Earthquake Was Announce
in Italy.
A writer sojourning in an Italian city
tells how an earthquake announced it
self:
Late one evening Isoletta and Cater
ina rushed in upon us in terrified excite
ment as we sat reading by the light ct
an oil lamp in the yellow ROOM" thei,
faces were of the Wilderness of paper
and their eyes had wild expression CT
fear
"Signora, what is the matter? Every
bell in the house is ringing. Maria Sane
tissima, what will become of us!"
l must explain that the bells were Of
the old-fashioned variety, which hang
on wires and are pulled by bell rope.
'Per carita, signora, come and see
what has happened"
They were so much in earnest that, to
calm their fears. we went into the hall
There were the ten bells hung in row
and ringing as though the furies were
at the other end of the rope! Ringing
of their own accord, apparently, or al
least pulled by no visible hand.
OF a sudden we became aware that
the floors were trembling, the walls
were shaking. The whole building,
moved on its foundations; it swayed
from side to side, at first slightly, the,
further and further, with slow, rhyth'
mic motion, full of grace and majesty;
but we could realize no sensation b.
You'd sickening terror.
1t was am earthquake. The motion
lasted a few seconds, then ceased grad

THE BARN REMoDELED.

aery satisfactory, and, if only properly
attended to, will serve for many years.
The barn represented in the sketches is
supposed to stand on perfectly level
ground, which renders the work of con-
structng a basement and approaches
for driving in and out of the second
floor quite difficult; and yet, one has
only to glance at the remodelled barn to
see how nicely and completely the whole
may be arranged by little planning
and labor. AS before mentioned, the
work is lessened greatly provided the
barn is situated on an incline or bank,
for then the approach to the second
floor will be, for the most part, of
natural construction. In any case a
basement pays, owing to the extra
amount of room that is obtained; and if
the barn is only properly ventilated by
means of windows, and a ventilator at
the top better more convenient and
comfortable structure for the housing
of stock cannot easily be devised, es-
pecially when the cost of construction
is taken into consideration.
One, of course, can arrange the
ground plan of such a barn as he de-
sires; but it is well to divide the STALL
room, as far as possible, so that it will
give the best service.
For tieing cattle it has been found
from practical experiments that chain
is very serviceable. The way to use it
is to place a 2x4-inch scantling, with
rounded edges to permit free working
UP and down Of the chain in the stalls
in such a manner that one end of the
scantling is fastened to the top of the
partition and the other to the top of
the manger slantingly. The chain
placed about this scantling and the
neck of the animal, allows plenty OF
room while eating and lying down, and
yet keeps the animal in its proper place
constantly. The cow stalls should vary
in length according to that of the cat
tie, and behind all of them ought to ex
tend six-inch drop.
Simplicity is the object aimed at, and
as regards the stalls, they are practical
ly separate. even to the managers; there
fore each animal has its own stall ant
own food-a thing of vast Importance
especially where animals of different
apes are stalled together.-Fredericl

THE OLD BARN.

ment barn and one built on level
ground. Nevertheless, the writer haz-
ards the opinion that no farmer who
contemplates buildinga new OF remodel
ling an old barn will be sorry if he
chooses one with a basement. Why?
Because such barn is economical and
warm, and, if well ventilated, very COM
Portable for stock. Indeed, in case Of
an old barn, such as is shown in the first
illustration, rather than replace it with
new and enlarged affair, which will
cost much time, labor and money, why
not new timber, new side and new roof

sufficiently to build an eight-foot stone
wall on three sides of the rectangle, the
fourth to be boarded, battened and pre-
pared as shown in the following cut.

AN IMPORTANT ITEM.
That Is what the Planting OF the
Farm Corn Crop is.

Farm Corn Crop is.
So far as conditions will permit, the
planting should be done early, as in
nearly all cases it is the early planting
that makes the best growth and yield.
At the same time il is detriment to the
crop and often to the soil to work Il
when wet or TO plant before the soil Is
in good filth. In order to make sure
of planting early every advantage
should be taken to pillow now. With
the blowing all done, by using the disc
and the smoothing harrow the soil can
be made ready for planting very rapid
ly. 1t is always best to pillow deep and
thorough. Ground plowed deep will
will hold moisture much better than
if plowed shallow, and this is quite an
run out the burrows clean so as to give
good drainage as in many cases this
will help materially in drying out the
soil
1t always pays to prepare the soil well
before planting the seed, not only as an
aid to the termination of the seed, but
also to get more vigorous start of the
plants to growing and as help TO be-
ginning the cultivation early. Harrow,
drag and roll if necessary to secure the
desired filth.
When planted early it is best to plant
shallower than later on. A certain
amount of heat and moisture are essen
tial to good termination, and these
conditions can best be secured by plant
ing early, while later on, when the soil
gets warmer and drier, deeper planting
will be best.
In determining the varieties to plant
the character of the soil as well as the
time of planting should always be con-
sidered. On good rich soil it is nearly
always best to plant the large late-ma-
turing varieties, but on thin or gravelly
land it will be best to plant the smaller,
quicker sorts. The large,
late varieties may be planted late, ard
on rich, strong soil make a good crop,
though there is always risk of injury
from early frosts. But it is an eXcep-
tional case when it is advisable to plant
large late variety on thin land. Use
plenty of seed, so as to secure as far as
possible good, even stand. 1t is always
better to thin out than to replant.
The condition of the soil as regards
fertility should largely determine the
number of plants in hill. Two Wig
orous stalks capable of producing two
Oh three good ears of corn are better
than four little stalks with four nub-
bins.-;St. Louis Republic.

CORN STALK DISEASE.
Scientists Cannot Agree Upon Its Ma
ture or Eject.

Scientists Cannot Agree Upon Its Ma
ture or Effect.
The farmers of Nebraska and Iowa
seem to have suffered more from the
corn-stalk disease this season than ever
before, though comparatively few cases
of it are reported in other states.
DR.. Peters, of the Nebraska expert
ment station, experimental with cattle
in order to learn the exact nature of
the disease and his conclusions were
that remedy may be found in feeding
grain ration instead of feeding stalks
exclusively.
This conclusion has been negatived
by the experience of John N. Garth, of
Webster City, Ia, as related in local
paper.
Mr.. Garth has been feeding his cat
tie shock corn. They have had access
to water and salt all the time. They
were turned into stalk field one hour
the first day; two hours the second day,
and the third day five of them died.
This case sets at naugLt the smut the
DRY, the impacted stomach theory and
negatives the conclusions of DR.. Peters.
The government has been investigat-
ing the disease for foIr or five years,
but no definite remedy has been discov-
cred. If the disease is not increasing, it
is attracting more general attention
than ever, and farmers soon will become
afraid to turn their cattle into stalk
fields where a mysterious death turks.
The consensus of opinion is that corn
stalks preserved in silo never serve
to introduce the disease If this is
proved to be fact we may look for a
large increase in the number of silos
in the corn belt in the near future. This
would add to the value of the corn crop
and improve its feeding qualities. :

Early potntoe. in Gardens.

1t is the habit of most farmers to plant
few potatoes for early use in the gar
den. But this is bad practice, because
often the potatoes are planted on the
same ground year after year, and as the
germs of disease live in the soil over
winter, the potatoes thus grown are
most likely to be diseased. Besides,
where potatoes are grown in succession,
the soil is filed with hard-shell potato
bugs, which come up just about the time
the potatoes do, and will often be found
gnawing the potato shoots before it is
fairly out of the ground. 1t is much
better TO pillow a clover sod somewhere
on rich land for the early potatoes, and
reserve the garden for vegetables not
so easily grown by field culture

A Few words About Toads.

A toad's eyes are the only things II
nature which could not be represented
without using gold.
AS to toads being poisonous, as the
French peasants say, or making warts,
as some old people tell us, that is pure
nonsense. Their tongues are as curious
as their eyes are beautiful. The root OF
the tongue is just behind the under Zip
and folds backward. When Mr.. Toad
sees a fly he darts his long and active
tongue out so quickly that it is hard to
see him do it, and jerks the fly alive
down his wide outlet.

tell me in what play Shakespeare speaks
of the toad, and quote the passage in
which he does so?-Detroit Free P,ess

81 said yesterday that there was some
thing familiar about this envelope that
l couldn't make out. Well, last night,
as l was studying over it, this large d
in the center of the postmark suddenly
recalled an incident to my mind, and
must relate it to you, so that you can
follow a certain chain of circumstances
in which am interested and which may
lead us to something definite.
"Three days after had been detained
down here by the murder, my mother,
who lives with me in New York, received
a letter Here it is. Twill read it to you:

ished
Not that can see," said Miss Delmar,
deeply interested.

"The bold things are the very ones

you how it came into my hands. My
mother, while very old and naturally
unsuspicious, has learned good deal
of caution from, me, especially where
anything pertains in the slightest TO my
