BEST Barn For General Farmers.

1t is hard to determine just what
kind Of barn to build, says writer In
The Prairie Farmer. The average
farmer cannot afford to construct
barn Of large proportions. Thirty by
40 is the usual size Of the general farm
er's barn. and usually there Is no hay
room except small loft. What he
needs is a barn that can be constructed
easily, is durable and one that he may
feed in quickly. The corn should be
handy, say in a loft having a shoot
TO the feedroom. There should be
room for cattle, sheep and horses,
about nine stalls on the right for cows,
an apartment on the same side for
sheep and as many stalls as you have
horses. A neighbor Of mine has barn
with a cellar under it in which he keeps
his horses, and it is not muddy, either.
Another convenient barn has a cellar
partitioned in two parts. 1t has place
for sheep on the right and hogs on the
left, with a driveway between and
doors to clean out the pens. The first
floor has place for cattle on the
right and horses on the left. The next
story Is used for storing the grain and
hay and has shoots to the cattle, horse,
sheep and hog pens. Back OF the
horses is a shoot to drop the manure
into the hOgpen below, where 1t Is
then thrown outside. and the same ar
rangement is made for the cattle.

The Child CrOn.

We find some prosperous and healthy
farmers who are sadly discontinued
and unhappy, says The Rural New
Yorker They have good homes, farms
paid for and material wants well sup
piled. You ask them why they are not
happy. and in many cases they will be
unable to tell you. In some way life
has not turned out as they hoped 1t
would, and IN the midst of abundant
OPPORTUNITIES for securing a blessing
they feel that life has been cursed In
stead. One Of the most frequent causes
for this unhappiness Is a failure with
the child crop. Perhaps the farmer
and his wife are childless, or perhaps
the children have died or, worse STILL
have turned out badly, burden and
disgrace TO the old folks. Such things
are not uncommon. Neither Is the
empty house from which good sons ard
daughters have gone to make homes
of their own. Yes, it must be said that
much Of the unhappiness of prosper
GUS farmers past middle life is due to
with the child crop.
The only cure we know Of is for such
farmers to try again with some little
child that needs help and guidance.

Sawdust often suggests itself to the
farmer as O fit material for enriching
his fields, mulching fruit trees or posi-
bly, for mixing with yard manures,
says Professor Hickman Of Ohio.
Speaking in q general way, sawdust
cannot be very generally recommended
except as an absorbent. When used
for bedding either for horses or cows,
it is probably put to the most practical
and economical use. 1t does not con-
tain enough fertilizing matter to Justl-
fy its application to the soil when used
alone. If applied in large quantities
when fresh and green, the effect upon
the soil could not be otherwise than
detrimental Applied very sparingly
1t might do little good, but not sufii-
cient to pay the labor of hauling and
spreading. 1t is not regarded fit ma
terial with which to mulch trees Of any
kind. If green, Its use for this purpose
would likely prove disastrous to the
tree, especially if used In any consider
able quantity.

FOR THE FARMER.

Occasionally we find an article in
our exchanges advising young men to
devote themselves entirely 10 some spe-
cial branch of agriculture, or II not
giving such advice directly they imply
1t by narrating wonderful tales OF the
wealth gained by some one who has
devoted himself to one particular In
dustry, which may be breed of fancy
stock or poultry or some one fruit or
vegetable.
No doubt that all of these stories are
true, says The American Cultivator,
but there is usually part Of the story
or more than one part untold. Proml-
hence enough is not given to the pecul-
lar adaptation of the man to the bust
ness. a faculty that makes him like II
better than any other thing. They are
mildly monomaniac upon 1t. The straw
berry specialist sees no beauty In the
apple tree and notices no good flavor
in its fruit. The poultry specialist
may be a man afraid of a cow, and
the dairy specialist does not want hens
on his place.
Such a man. living for but one pur-
pose, studying only that must achieve
success in that or in nothing. But 10
be successful he must learn to select a
location suited to his speciality. To a
certain extent he may change the char
acter Of his surroundings and his soil,
but as he cannot grow trout In a sand
bank or chickens in a frog pond, so
with many other specialties, an at
tempt to force them TO succeed on I'M
at soils or locations cannot be much
but failure.
OF the many failures that have re-
suited from attempts Of some one TO
initiate another when neither man nor
location was any way similar In the
original and the imltatOr such ac-
counts say nothing, any more than the
lottery ticket dealers used TO publish
the list of unfortunates who drew
blanks. II they had, the list would
have been longer but less tempting
than the list of prize winners.

DEAD SNAKE IN BEER KEG.
Poisoned Beer Results In tho Death OF
Three Persons.

Fort Dodge, July 21.-Four young
near the Minnesota line, purchased
and drank from a key of eastern
brewed beer, and as result three
of them have died and the fourth is
now in terrible agony and is reported
to be at the point of death. The day
was warm and the beer was con-
sumed hurriedly by the friends, who
little realized that they were slipping
a death dealing draught. They were
all Immediately taken sick, and al
though a physician was soon after
summoned, the taking off of three
of the young men could not be pre-
vented. 70 ascertain, if possible, the
cause of the sickness, the key was
broken into and and the decomposed
remains of a genuine rattlesnake
were found. Improbable as the story
sounds, it is true, and is rendered
plausible by the fact that empty kegs
are often left lying around for weeks
before being shipped back to the
breweries 1t is thus easy for rep
tiles and insects to crawl into the
kegs. The scalding out of the kegs
upon their return to the brewery
would naturally kill any living organ
ism, which would remain in the key.
1t was only a few years ago that
n parry here became sick from drini:-
ing key beer and an investigation
showed that dead toad occupied the
key with the beer.

MAKES WAR ON RUSSIA.
China 10 Stated to have Taken . Decis.
i've Stem.

London, July 1S.-The Daily Mail
publishes q sensational dispatch from
st. Petersburg, dated Monday, which
asserts that there is no doubt that
China has declared war against Rus
STA. "The Russian press" says the
correspondent, "is restricted to the
publication of MANY dispatches from
the front, and the publication of of
fetal dispatches has been prohibited.
hear, however, from a reliable source
that the Chinese troops and the Box
ers seized a Russian transport vessel
laden with munitions near Aigun ION
the Amur river, about eighteen miles
from the Russian frontier), killing al
most the entire Russian escort. They
next suddenly attacked and bonn
barded the town of Blagovechensk
Capital of the Amur government on
the Amur river. The garrison held
out bravely, but was finally overwhelm-
ed. Nearly all persisted, and the town
was finally burned"
If the news of the Chinese invasion
of Siberia proves true it will i'm
mensely complicate the situation
from an international point of view
AS stated in the Associated Press
st. Petersburg dispatch of the 18th,
the Chinese had already peremptorily
ordered all Russians to quit Manchu-
ria, but no one imagined they would
be audacious enough to break out of
their own country to attack Russian
territory. Such an attack, if it has
been made, constitutes In itself a dec
laration of war, rendering formal no.
LITIGATION needless. A separate attack
by Chinese on the Russians means Civ
ing Russia, according to views ex-
pressed in Europe, additional excuse
for an isolated descent on Picking, and
an additional claim to assert greater
influence than the other powers; and
to obtain greater compensation when
the day of settlement arrives. Hence
extreme uneasiness has been created
in the chancelories by the latest de-
velopment.
