the kind of hay and it's condition when

l suggest that your correspondent
build a barn 40 by 60 feet and "a foot
posts. 1t will be convenient to place
the bents IL feet apart. The cheapest
and strongest construction for the en-
tire frame will be of 2. by 6 and by s
planks, spiked solidly together.
The accompanying sketch will indi-
cate how the interior bcnts 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 hayffork or sings. 1t
will be convenient to provide wide doors
so 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 filed 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, durable material, shingle,
slate or iron. BY all means your cor
respondent should have track in the
gable running the entire length of barn
upon which is to run a 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.

Like an Arrow.

The shark is generally considered the
most dangerous of deep-sea fish. While
he is the most voracious. recent investi-
cation by the British government
shows that he is not the most danger
GUS, since small fish, met with some->
times in shoals, is often as destructive
OF human life. The garfish never
grows to an imposing length. It has
a long, sharp beak, which gives it an
arrow-ike shape. This living arrow,
when alarmed, dashes out from the.
water and goes soaring away over the
surface in short bounds with such force
that when it strikes a foreign body it
either passes through it or inficts pain
full and serious wounds. An English
officer was struck by one on the peak
of his cap. This resulted in an inyesti-
CATION by Representative of the Brit
ish government, and it was found that

When Horses Catch Cold.

It has been noticed that horses that
have been out on pasture for some time
will frequently seem to take cold or
develop a case of nasal catarrh when
taken up and kept % the stable. If the
stable is very close and warm and no
protection is given to the horse to pre-
vent him from taking cold when
brought out, he is liable to be affected
by the change during very cold weat ther.
Sometimes, also, the stable is too open
and he has to stand in >. draft when
brought in warm from work. In such
cases cold may frequently follow the
Neglect. In many cases, however, the
caterrh or cold may be prevented by
seeing that the stable is free from filth
ana impure sair.-llFarmers' Review.

SALT FOR. STOCK.
A Supply of 1t Should Be Kept In
Every Field Accessible to All
Kinds of Animals,

Some experiments made in France
showed that stock having a regular sup
ply of salt were more thrifty and made
better use of the feed they ate than
those deprived of salt for a consider.
able time.
Salt is one of the necessities of animal
existence and even wild animals travel
long distances to seek salt in the shape
of salt springs of brackish water. Salt
is the great cleanser of the blood and
performs an important mission in ami
NAL economy, and as it is very cheap it
should be supplied to all live stock in
liberal quantities. "a .t.sys e.
A supply of salt should be kept in
every pasture field and accessible to the
animals at all times. The common GUS
tom of sailing stock once week is
q very poor way to supply the needs of
the stock. The strongest ones will get
enough, possibly, but the weaker ones,
and these are the ones that need it most,
will be kept back and never get full
supply. One of the best ways to supply
live stock with salt is to buy rock s,l {
and place slabs of it in places conven-
lent for the stock to get at it. The
weather has but little effect on it and
stock: can get all they need by simply
sucking the salt slab.
To feed it to horses put piece in the
feed box where they can get it at any
time: This does notinterfere with feed
ing the horses and at the same time a
little of the salt gets on all the grain
given them. Even pigs will lick block
of rock salt, although good many
people never think of sailing the pigs.
