The kind of hay and its condition when
stored.
l suggest that your correspondent
build a barn 40 by 60 feet and "a foot
posts. 1t will be convenient to place
The bents 12 feet apart. The cheapest
and strongest construction for the en-
tire frame will be of 2 by and by
planks, spiked solidly together.
The accompanying sketch will indi-
cate how the interior bents are con-
structed. This method of framing is
peculiarly adapted to hay barns. The
entire floor space is left free and no
posts or beams interfere with the work.
ing of the horse hay fork or sings. 1t
will be convenient to provide wide doors
80 that hay wagons can be driven into
the barn when being filled or for shelter
for wagons, etc, when bays are empty.
These driveways may be filled with hay
after the other bays in barn are all full.
There should be large doors in each
gable for the hay fork or sings. The
siding for this barn can be of second
grade material. The roof should be
built of good, dura BILE material. shingle,
slate or iron. BY all means your cor
respondent should have a track in the
gable running the entire length of barn
upon which is to run hay car carry
ing hay from the load by fork or sling.
There are many outfits now sold which
are very cheap and efficient and their
use in handling 100 tons of hay will
more than pay for the outfit In one sea-
son.-Journal of Agriculture.

when Horses Catch Cold.

1t has been noticed that horses thai
have been out on pasture for some time
will frequently seem to take cold OF
develop q case of rasal catarrh when
taken up and kept in the stable. If the
stable is very close and warm and nc
protection is given to the horse to pre-
vent him from taking cold wher
brought out, he is liable to be affected
by the change during very cold weather
Sometimes, also, the stable is too oper
and he has to stand in a draft -vher
brought in warm from work. In such
cases cold may frequently follow the
neglect. In many cases, however, the
atarrh or cold may be prevented by
seeing that the stable is free from filth
and impure air.-Fsrmers' Review.

of the wicked traits that have distin-

really is. The carriage to which it is
yoked is child's mail cart, and it seems
big enough for it. The little lady who
holds the reins is Miss Rhoda Hunter,

This small yet perfectly formed speci-

There seems to have been change
in the past two years in the wants of
the legislators. Two years ago they
were all crazy for gold when they were
paid off for the sessions work. This
year. it was very much different.
Treasurer Simpson went to Boston
for the bank notes with which to pay
the members, the total amount re-
quired for that alone being over $42,-
900. The bankers were unable to senc
along the bank notes, not having
enough to spare, so they sent quantity
of gold which amounted to $50. 900
This gold was not very readily caught
up. Some desired a part of their pay
in gold. if it was handy, bat the greater
runlber did not care for it as they said
il was too heavy. Many preferred a
check.
This gold though has placed quite a
little in circulation in Augusta There
is so little gold in circulation that when
an amount is dumped upon the public
i; is at once noticed The whole State
will see a part Of that yellow metal.
