How to Avoid Mistakes CaIcula tie d

"A great many mistakes are made in
the construction of farm stables. OF
course, no plan can be devised that will
suit everyone, because tastes, opinion
and ideas of beauty, utility and con-
veniencc differ materially. l believe
the time is not distant when all our

I would use elm plank. There is no
other timber so good for this purpose.
1t is easily procured, and cheap. There
are few farm forests that do not have
elm. When sawed into planks it is
tough and pliable, and when properly
taken care of is very durable. / find

WHAT THEY REALLY SAY.
Husband and Wife at the Theater
Who Appear to BE Engaged
in Conversation.

A man and wife enter the theater. As
soon as they are seated and she digs around
for the hat pins and removes her hat they
look at each other smilingly and seem, to
onlookers, to be carrying on an animated
conversation. Here's what they're really
saying:
Husband-Your hairs crushed and plas-
tered down in front like dago BARRIERS.
Can't you give it a swipe that'll-
Wife-Unreasonable thing! How can you
expect me to have my hair all fluffy and
nice as soon as | take off heavy toreador

that rat thing you got to put under your front
hemp awhile ago? That made it stick up
some, anyhow, and"
"The dog ate it up, and it was too warm,

HORSE STALL.
"a, Feed Box; B, Drop Floor)

it is laid. Put it in green, when ii comes
from the mill. If perfectly dried and
seasoned the floor will be so close that
moisture, will swell the planks until
they warp. Use the green plank and
all this will be avoided.
A drop floor in the rear of the stable,
to aid in clearing out manure, is a great
convenience. 1t saves much tiresome
prodding with the fork against ill-fit-
ting, uneven edges of plank. In IA
foot stable, which is amply large, this
drop should be feet wide. This leaves
10 feet for stall and manger. With
scoop-shovel and the drop arrange
ment, one seldom needs to use a fork
in cleaning out.
One mistake that is often made in
planking a stable floor is to incline the
plank from the manger back. A slight
incline is possibly proper, but much of
fall backward compels the animals
to stand continually with stretched
tendons and is an injury to them. [

be carried into the barnyard, where the
cattle pick over the small waste.

Mr. T. G. Walker, Carneiro, Kansas,
writes: at is with pleasure that | report
that | am better than have been for many
years. | believe Peruna is without doubt
the best medicine that ever was used in Il
family. 1t has cured my nervousness, with
which l have been afflicted for great num-
ber of years"
1t is a fact of ever-increasing astonish-
ment that so many otherwise sensible and
provident people will, for the neglect of so
simple a precaution as to have a bottle of
Peruna at hand, bring upon themselves the
needless suffering and foolish expense that
a practitioner of medicine is forced to wit
ness every day.
As soon as the value of Peruna is fully ap-
preciated by every household, both as a pre-
ventive and cure of these affections, tens of
thousands of lives will be saved and hun

cases of disease prevented. Peruna is the

When mixed grasses are to be sown
with the hope of harvesting u future
hay crop, care should be taken that
the grasses sown mature at about the

plan to sow timothy and orchard grass
together, because one natures several
weeks earlier than the other. If tho
grass is cut when the timothy is too
mature the orchard grass will be too
far gone to make good hay, while if
the mixture is cut at the time the or
chard grass is mature the timothy will
be too green to cure well, besides be-
ing deficient in nutriment. A man be-

WHAT ALABAsTINE is.

Alabastine is the original and only dur
able wall coating on the market. 1t is
entirely different from all kalsomine prep
arations. Alabastine is made ready for
use in white or fourteen beautiful tints
by the addition of cold water. 1t is put
up in dry powdered form, in packages,
properly labeled. with full directions on
every package. 1t takes the place of seal
ing kalsomines, wall paper and paint for
walls. Alabastine can be used on plaster
brick, wood or canvas, and child can
