THE BARN REMoDELED.

very 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-
structing 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 a 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 n
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-
pecialIy when the cost of construction
is taken into consideration.
One, of course, can arrange the
KTOulu pun Oh SuCn u DuTn as ne Cte-
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 2X4-inch scantling, with
rounded edges to permit free working
up and down of the chain in the stalls
in such n 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 it's proper place
constantly. The COW stalls should vary
in length according to that of the cat
tie, and behind all of them ought to en-
tend a siX-inch drop.
Simplicity is the object aimed at, and,
rs regards the stalls, they are practical
lY-separate, even TO the hangers; there
fore each anima, has its own stall and
oT1 tood-a'thing of vast Importance,
especially where animals of different
ages are stalled together.-Frederick
o. Sibley, in N. Y. Tribune.

AN IMPORTANT ITEM.
That IL What the Planting of the
Enrm Corn Crnn Ii.


Farm Corn Crop Ii.
So far as conditions will permit, the
planting should be done early, as in
nearly all cases tits the early planting
that makes the best growth and yield.
At the same time it is a detriment to the
crop and often to the soil to work it
when wet or to plant before the soil is
in good tilth. In order to make sure
of planting early every advantage
should be taken to plow now. With
the plowing 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 plow deep and
thorough. Ground plowed deep will
will hold moisture much better than
II plowed shallow, and this is quite an
item with corn. When plowed early
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 tilth.
When planted early it is best toplant
| shallower than later on. 4 certain
amount of heat and moisture are essen
| tial to a 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 we'll 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 il will be best to plant the smaller,
quicker-maturing sorts. The large,
late varieties may be planted late, and
on rich, strong soil make good crop,
though there is always a risk of injury
from early frosts. But it is an excep-
tional case when it is advisable to plant
a 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
oi 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 Nm
ture or Effect.

Scientists Cannot Agree Upon It's Nn-
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.
DIR. 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
10y 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 a stalk field one hour
the first day; two hours the second day,
and the third day five of them died
This case sets at naught the smut the.
ory, the impacted stomach theory and
negatives the conclusions of DR.. Peters
The government has been investiga
ing the disease for four 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 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 Potatoes i'm Gardens.

II is the babit 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 10 h@ diseased. Besides,
where potatoes are grown in succession,
the soil is filed with hard-shell potato
bugs, which come up just about the time
tie potatoes do, and will often be found
gnawing the potato shoots before it is
fA;rly out of the ground. 1t is much
better to plow a clover sod somewhere
or rich land for the early potatoes, an
reserve the garden for vegetables no.

How IL Can BE Done Effectively and

AS the country grows older, and tim
Der for building purposes gets scarcer,
the fact becomes more and more ap-
parent that the practical farmer should
endeavor to derive the most benefit pos
sible from under one roof. This ap-
plies in particular to the barn. A barn
with basement under it may have
nearly IA third more room than one with
out, and that at the expense of but little
more building material. Especially is
this true il the barn is located on an
incline or bank. In any case, however,
the most required will be stones for the
wall, and generally speaking, stones OF
the requisite sort crn be had in most
localities in abundance.
Of course, there has been some con-
troversy of late years concerning the
