ENLARGING A DAIRY BARN.

of enlargement does not permit OF
storing away much hay under ths
low roof. It is depth and height
which compacts hay and vastly in
crease the capacity of the barn.
A few years ago had occasion to
enlarge my barn, which was 26 by
40 feet, with a double-pitch roof. I
wanted more room for both stalls and
fodder. I added II feet to the width,
thus making the barn 40 by 40 feet,
but instead of putting on shed
roof I lowered one side of the shin
gle roof and sliding it onto the new
plate, raised it to the same pitch as
before, and then connected the two
sections with a nearly fiat tin roof,
forming an end view like the one
shown in the illustration. The dot
ted line indicates the former shape
of the barn. I have never been able
to raise enough to fill this barn.
There seems to be no end to it's ca
pacity, for the addition is practically
in the center and is 40 by IA by "a
feet. The expense of the alteration
was $1S4.-American Agriculturist.

a reason for the name of their place.
and at last they found a huge bowlder
near by which they said was what had
suggested the name. But the bowlder
was gray instead of red and the pro-
gressionists insisted that that would
not do. At last, the old-timers hit
upon new plan, and procuring bar
rel of red paint, they painted the big
rock red. Red Rock, indeed, it was
now, and not only was all opposition
to the name overcome, but the pain tin g
of the rock every spring has become
an annual festival. and the people cele-
brate it with big picnic and general
celebration. It was new idea to me.
and if there is any other town any
where on earth that is christened every
spring with red paint or any other
color, I don't know where it is"

When Drying on q Cow.

In drying off COW, the animal
should be put upon rather dry food and
the quantity of milk Withdrawn at each
meal should be gradually lessened-in
other words, little milk should al
ways be left behind in the udder. Aft
er few days only as much should be
withdrawn as is found necessary in Or
der to relieve the animal of an uncom-
Portable pressure Of the milk glands.
In addition to this the COW should be
given about half an ounce of powdered
alum in drinking water twice daily, and
the udder should be rubbed with an
ointment consisting of one drachm OF
Belladonna extract, to an ounce of lard.

was clearly shown by an experiment
carried out some time ago by we'll
known dairy expert. This gentleman
found that while the average per cent.
of butter fat in the first half pint of
milk withdrawn from a cow worked
out to only 1872 per cent, the butter fat
in the strippings, or the last half pint,
amounted to over nine per cent. There
was hardly any difference in the per-
centage of the other solids present in
the last drawn milk.

No Glut OF Good Butter.

There is no glut in the market OF
really good and toothsome butter. In
every town there are housekeepers
who search in vain for fine butter.
What is offered to them as ''high-grade'
butter u is generally unattractive,
notified, greasy to the feel, insipid or
else unpleasant to the taste, full of wa
ter, over7salted, over-colored or in
some other way. unsatisfactory.
Around every town are farmers who
could if they would, make fine butter
and secure these fastidious consumers
for regular patrons.-Farmers' Voice.

A HEALTHFUL FRUIT.
Medical Authorities Have n High
Opinion of the Grape Ms a Regular
Part Of the Diet

We have so many warnings against
eating uncooked fruit that it is re-
lief to know that so palatable fruit
as the grape is prescribed as especial
~ healthful and strengthening, says
the National Stockman. Eaten with
other suitable food in quantities from
one to two pounds daily, they increase
nutrition, promote secretion, improve
the action of the liver, kidneys and
bowels, and add to the health. The
sugar of the grape requires no diges-
tion, but is taken almost at once into
the blood, where it renders up it's
force as required. Eaten moderately,
with suitable diet, they will not pro-
duce cathartic effects, but more nat
ural action of the bowels, so they are
generally laxative. What more could
one ask of fruit than that it should
be both luscious and health-g giving
There is one word of warning, though,
that we might offer: When the grapes
are procured from any place other
than from your own vines, they should
be carefully washed before eaten, for
the dust upon them not infrequently
carries with it impure and unhealth-
full particles.
One who has experimental says that
borax will preserve grapes in their
natural state for many months, by
packing them in layers with a liberal
sprinkling of borax between. The
fruit should be we'll selected, perfect
and dry, and the borax must COM
p1etely cover each layer. It can be
used repeatedly for the same purpose,
after being spread and thoroughly
dried. This method is also recon-
mended for the preservation of cher
ries, currants, blueberries, gooseber-
les, etc., none of which would be 50
desirable preserved in their natural
state as grapes.
Those who know by experience OF
the Strengthening properties OF
grape juice will not allow any of the
fruit to go to waste or be eaten by
poultry. Diluted with water, sweet
ened and iced, it has no equal as q
harvest drink.

a Now Invention.

Messrs Foote, Lind and Mckee,
proprietors OF the Caldwell FIGURING
Mill, have completed a machine for
removing the outer bulls or bran, that
will completely reyolutonize milling.
The machine does away with what is
known as breaker and bran busters.
With this machine the small mills
can produce as much flour to the BUSH
el OF wheat as the mammoth mills of
Minnesota. At the present time it
require four and one-half bushels OF
wheat to produce a barrel OF flour, but
with the Caldwell machine barrel OF
Hour can be made from three and one
half bushels. This statement may ap-
pear little strong, but it is fact
nevertheless, for there is not the least
possible loss from flour going into the
bran bin. Caldwell Record.
