TIGHT FOUNDATION,

tration shows an excellent plan. Dig
a trench close to the barn, and then
dig in under the barn to the required
distance to accommodate the founda-
ton stones. Exactly under the edge of
the barn, at the bottom of the wide
trench, drive stakes and put down a
rough board. Now fill in behind the
board with loose stones, put on another
old board and continue to fill in the
loose stones until they stand level with
the surface of the ground. The part of
the trench outside the boards can now
be filed in with earth, packing it down
solidly, leaving the old boards where
they are. The fiat stones above the
ground can then be put in and cement
ed. Perhaps they can be put in more
conveniently before filing in the out
side trench.-Orange Judd Farmer.

introduced at the upper end and kept
constantly though slowly running
throughout the day. After milking, it
is shut off and the trough emptied
through two-inch lead pipe leading
into hopper-like box, for the purpose
of catching any particles of feed that
would otherwise tend to obstruct the
waste thing pipe which cares for the
regular overflow. The trough is then
scrubbed out with a stiff brush and
flushed with clean water, so that it is
always sweet and clean. The overflow
pipe is also two inches, so that any or
binary piece of fodder will slip through.
BY this arrangement the animals
have clean fresh water three times
daily in quantities that satisfy but do
not chill them, without the expense and
labor of heating, or using the rather
expensive individual tubs, with their
complicated valves, that from time to
time have appeared on the market.
At regular intervals of about Is feet,
near the back of the hangers, are the
upright posts supporting the upper
stores OF the Darn.
To these bolted, at right angles,
pieces of two by four-inch sticks, one
bolt in each stick, which permits it to
play easily up and down. To these
sticks are fastened lengthwise strips of
seven-eighths inch spruce four inches
wide. By means of pulleys in the cell
ing, through which run sash cord, these
frames are easily raised and lowered.
When they are down, the free end rests
at an angle on the top of the manger,
forcing the animal back so that any ex-
crement is deposited I'M the gutter and
not on the platform.
The end of the frame, which is bolted
to the upright barn post, is placed at
such height that while it admits Of
the animals stepping forward so as to
reach all parts of the manger, on rails
ing her head she comes in contact with
the frame and naturally steps back.
With the arrangement of the pulleys
before mentioned, it is no trouble to
raise the frame work for feeding and
watering. The water trough is supplied
with sectional cover which is kept on
at all times save when watering. The
illustration may make the idea clearer.

Gentleman

Glad.tone,. self-Po..e..ion.

This faculty was strilingly mani
tested when, in the position of leader
of the house, Mr.. Gladstone had to
write frequent letters to the queen
giving his impressions as to public
business. These letters he often wrote
while sitting on the treasury bench
after the dinner hour, and they some
times appeared to tax even his mental
resources. He wrote them in small
and not very legible hand, and their
composition occupied considerable
time. Sometimes he would pause for
a few minutes before finishing half
written letter, and would occasionally
delete word or two after reading
what he had already written. In no
duty did he seem to take such care,
and keen observers often remarked
that he could more easily deliver a
long speech than write letter to
her majesty. While his mind was APP
parently absorbed in this work, he
was at the same time listening to the
speeches which were being delivered,
as was evidenced by the fact that he
often jumped up to correct an oral
statement or to explain some point in
regard to the subject under discus
sion.-Chambers' Journal.

PERMANENT ROADS.
Mig Sums Are Now Spent for Tenn.
porary Improvements.

Report is current that more than $780,
100000 are spent annually in this coun-
try for the temporary improvement Of
The public highways. A significant
sum, when it is considered that its sx-
penditure leaves the country in no bet
ter condition than before its use. The
money spent in repairing the roads is
practically waste, for it gives no per-
manency to the improvement. A bridge
may be put in tomorrow, and next
week it washes out; a manhole may be
filled this week and next week rain
transforms it into the same old mud
hole. A rut may be corrected, and in
less than "a hours the work is made void
and hence has to be repeated.
There is need for improvement and
repairs which shall be permanent and
substantial-not only of value to-mor-
row, but for all time to come. It were
better and more economical thorough
~ to improve one mile of road than to
throw up dump in the middle of 20
miles of road and call it improved. The
lack of permanency in the betterment
of our thoroughfares is the feature of
the good roads question to which large
Importance should and does attach.
We have no definite plan for the i'm
provement of the roads, that at this
time would be. universally adopted
with good resR4s, but in the absence
of a plan we are in the midst of so many
bad roads as to compel the recognition
of vast need of feasible and prac-
ticable method. We all know the pres
ent system is failure, costly blunder
and unsatisfactory everywhere, and be-
lieve that a new system is bound to be
ushered in at an early day. In Sec
lions of Indiana and some other states
macadam roads have been constructed,
and the service is perfect. Where the
materials for matchmaking are at
hand, there is no better way of perma-
nently improving the highways. It is
not necessary to argue the value of i'm
proved roads to farmers, how they
would enhance the value of land, i'm
prove the social conditions in the coun-
try, and enable farmers to get better
prices for their products in that they
could get them to market when prices
were high. Everybody believes we
should have good roads, but the people
are not active enough in their demands,
and not agreed as to methods which
will insure effective action. There
needs to be concentration of effort, es-
pecially among the farmers, and agita-
ton and thought should be constant,
since both precede action. What prop
erly may be called good road is one on
which the farmer can haul heavy loads
during rainy weather; one in which
there are no ruts, washouts and bumps;
one that is good when the weather is
bad, and over which team may pull
an empty wagon without experiencing
that fatigue so common on the rough,
rutty, ragged roads which annually are
worked at large aggregate expense and
improved in general unevenness.-

Care of Nursery Stock.

Whenever a farmer goes in for the
growing of nursery stock he need have
no lack of winter work. All the seed
Gngs have either to be grated or their
roots in many cases are made into
stocks, and a scion inserted in each.
These roots and stocks with the scions
are put in cellars, where they are COW
cred with moist, not wet, earth, and
when the scion is inserted the future
tree is set in unfrozen soil again, COW
ering it even to the top bud Of the scion.
1t is a long, wearisome job for one man,
or for two or three, to root graft young
trees enough to set an acre in nursery.
It also requires much care in handling,
to see that the scion is not loosened be-
fore it is made fast by growth in the
ground.-American Cultivator.

LITERARY REWARDS.

"Well, if man goes into literature he must
expect his pay in something besides dollars
and cents" remarked Chicago novelist as
he stroked his blond imperial.
eyes, that's so,'' said second, big man
who writes western stories and delights to
have himself photographed in picturesque
felt hat and an overcoat with cape to it.
"Now, for my Prairie Yarns the best 1
could do was $4,000, and they haggled over
that as if it had been an amateurish per-
Torrance"
''They treat me the same way" said the
little blond man, who has trick of holding
his head on one side. "Now for my Sky
scraper' magnificent piece of Chicago color,
with Mrs. Seymour-Seymour in it, and the
Snobs murder case, and all that, West side
and North side and all that-what do you
suppose | got for that? A beggarly S35 900,
and I was silly enough to take it down and
let the royalty CO."
They looked at each other narrowly. The
man who writes "Prairie Yarns" said he
must be going. As the elevator descended
with him swiftly he muttered:
"You never can tell one so big that that
prig won't go you one better"
The little blond man laid his throbbing
forehead in his hand and unused: 1T takes
something more than the author of Prairie
Yarns to feaze me. Chicago Inter Ocean.

An Afrikander, trekking from Schuin's
Hoogte to Palapsie with load Of biltong
halted by fontein at the foot of kloof.
A Voortrekker suddenly appeared from be-
hind kopje, waving a vierkleur.
'Oorlog! shouted the Voortrekker.
"Dop!'' replied the Afrikander, who was
man of ready wit.
Produce it, said the Voortrekker,
though | am no dopper."
The Afrikander's voorlooper, who was
standing on the disselboom munching
mealies, jumped off and started on run to-
ward a krantz. In jumping a SLUT his foot
slipped on a kip and he fell into donga.
The others, after much dop, got into heat
ed argument in Taal over the quickest way
to. the nearest dorp. One said he should
take the drift over the spruit, and the other
that he should pont over the pan. A carp
came along and took them both around the
