PLAN FOR HAY BARN.
How to Put Up a Durable and Con-
venient Structure to Hold
100 Tons, Loose.

In compliance with the request of
Texas correspondent, Prof. Mumford.
OF the Missouri agricultural college,
gives a sketch and description of barn
estimated to hold 100 tons of loose al
falfa hay.
The storage capacity needed for 100
tons Of loose alfalfa hay will depend
largely on the depth of the mows in
which the hay is placed. The deeper
the NOW the greater its capacity per
cubic foot. In mows 30 feet deep and
above 1t will require approximately 500
cubic feet of space to store one ton of
hay These figures are, of course, APP
proximations only and will vary with

CARPET LORE.
Some Valuable Suggestions RcEard-
ing the Proper Method of
Cleaning.

If you will only have bare floors and
rugs in your house there need never be
IA regular housecleaning period. The
house will be cleaned from week TO
week, and carpet cleaning as an eX-
ccptional function will not be known.
Don't use tea leaves to clean delicate
carpet. They will be sure to stain it.
Damp bran or newspapers dampened
and torn will answer the purpose.
Sweep the way of the nap of the carpet.
Never shake rugs from the end; too
much weight comes on them and they
are liable to be torn or strained: shake
them from the sides. Turn them face
downward to be swept, or the dust will
be ground into them. \Salt used on
carpet collects dampness and rusts the
tacks.
For taking spots from carpets use
ammonia or OK gall and water. For the
formcruse two tabIespoonfuls Of house
hold ammonia TO four quarts of water.
Half that amount will be all that will
be needed usually. Use one tablespoon
ful of on gall TO quart OF water. Take
Il sponge or flannel, not too wet, ard
rub until nearly dry. Line spots can
be removed with vinegar. Use quickly
and wash Off. For SCOT cover quickly
with salt or corn meal and sweep up.
For ink, pour milk over the place and
as il becomes discolored absorb il
with blotting paper or coarse
butchers paper Then wash with warm
water and CASTLE soap. Cover grease
spots with pulyerized magnesia or corn
starch, fuller's earth or buckwhcat
-four Cover with brown paper and
place over il slightly warm iron.
Where the color has been taken out it
can sometimes be restored by sponging
with weak vinegar or if spots made by
an alkali by using chloroform.-N. Y.

PEN FOR BROOD SOWS.
Raised In II Even In the
ColdeHt Weather.

Thousands of farmers are using the
portable pigpen shown in illustration.
The objection to it in cold weather is
that the cold wind striking the out
side of pen condenses the warm air and
steam on the inside, producing frost
and ice. TO remedy this first board
up in the usual way, cover with good
quality building paper, nail on cleats
crosswise, cover with boards one foot
wide and batten. A two-inch air space
between the outer and innerwall is thus
secured. The ends should be fixed up
the same way. Now you have an almost

air-tight pen and sow would not live
in it long. For ventilation, bore two
inch hole through the outer wall near
the bottom of pen on the end. Bore a
corresponding hole on the inside near
the top. Reverse the position of these
holes on opposite end. Have a double
window in one end high up out of the
reach of the SOW. The door in the other
end should also be double. Place a
guard for little pigs across back end
and trough near front end. If the
weather is very cold, hitch a team to
pen and draw in onto barn floor. Pigs
can then be raised in coolest weather.

CsrcfuIIy-Bred Animals.

The superiority of the English,
Scotch and French horses is due to
their being raised almost as part Of
the family. Behind their docility, size
and adaptability to special work, the
plow, the saddle or the buggy, is long
line of kindly care, patient training
and careful breeding. That marvellous
capacity for producing milk, possessed
by the Holstein COW, and the superlatiye
richness of the milk of the Jersey. are
the results of judicious feeding, han
ding ard breeding, and of wise selec-
tion for many years in sections where
few cows are kept by each family as
a valued treasure. The same is true Of
MI the better breeds of horses and other
domestic animals Prof. s. A. Knapp.

The growth of ivy on the walls of
houses keeps them free of damp, the
ivy extracting, for its own subsistence,
every particle of moisture from the
brick or stone TO which it clings by
means Of rootlets. The overlapping
leaves of the ivy conduct water falling
on them from point to point till it
reaches the ground, without allowing
the walls to receive any moisture from
the rain.-Philadelphia Press.

II has been noticed that horses that
have been out on>pasture for some time
will frequently seem to take cold or
develop case of nasal 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 when
brought ont, he is liable to be affected
by the change during very cold weather.
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
cotarrh or cold may be prevented by
seeing that the stable is free from filth
and impure air.-Farmers' Review.

The Senators continued their winning gait
yesterday at Louisville, defeating the Col
onels by the score of to 6. making their
record so far on the present trip stand four
victories and two defeats. Jimmy Stafford
was under the weather and Barry relieved
him at short, the latter playing exception
ally well in the field and hammering out
three safe hits.
Bowling, the t-handed twirler, was on
wonder his twirling had no terrors for
the Senators, fourteen hits being made off
of his delivery, O'Brien, Barry and Padden
leading the onslaught with three hits EACH
McFarlan did the twirling for the Wash
ingtOnians, and he was hit even harder
than Bowling, but he kept the Colonies
from hitting safe when bingles meant runs.

characters in the days work. Winnie"
had four errors to his credit, while Leach
had three, and all these misplays We're fac

slammed the ball into the seats, and Mer-
Ger sent one in the same direction. Padden
at second proved a tower of strength, ham
ding eight chances clean and his covering
ground was simply wonderful.

likely there will be much big boat racing on
this SIDE next year"
Continuing, the paper says that in any
event the Shamrock will sail in the Medi-
terranean in 1900, and 1t mentions as a
probable rival to the Shamrock's claim as
the defender of the Americas cup yacht
designed by Watson for Charles Day Rose,
now building.

yacht Meteor, In the Americas cup race
Increases The press association in London
declares on authority termed the highest,
that Captain Parker has finally secured
his majesty's permission to help sail the
Shamrock in the coming races, and that
he will leave for New York Immediately.
This permission, it is said, was gained
through representations made to Emperor
William by Lord Lonsdale.
1t says also that plain suits of clothes
are going to the Shamrock's crew, that
the men may be enabled to walk about
freely when on shore. so as to prevent
them from being surrounded by importu-
nate American journalists, who stop at
nothing in their efforts to obtain informa-
tion."
The news comes that on the Clyde the
feeling is daily growing stronger in favor
of the Snamrocks chances.
At the German embassy in London moth
ing was known of Emperor William 5
changed decision about Captain Parker
taking part in the Americas cup races and
the latest report in regard to this matter
was thought to be highly improbable.
