Rarnyard Sheds.

We once knew q man who decided
that he would make tight board fence
on the north and east sides of his barn
yard to protect the cattle from the
wind, as it would cost but little more
than any other snug fence. When this
was done he found that a little more
expense would roof over the space be-
tween the fence and one side and end
of the building. Then he had shed,
not quite watertight, for he did not
single it, but patterned the cracks,
where the cattle gould stand while he
was cleaning out the stables and
spreading the bedding on a stormy day,
aud longer when the sun shone into it,
and they were much more comfortable.
1t was pleasing to see how the cattle
would gather III that shed after they
had drunk, while waiting for the door
to open that they might go into the
barn. The expense was small and was
more than repaid by the comfort of
the cattle. and probably by saving of
food, though the farmers of those days
did not carry their experiments on as
scientifically and get results as exactly
as the experiment stations do now.
When they thought a new method paid
they did not figure the profits down to
fractions of a cent.-American Cultiva-

STRONG Ewes off the Boers.

An Englishman who has been a
long time in Africa says the superiori-
ty of BOer craftsmanship is traceable
to the fact that their eyesight is kept
in splendid training by constant use of
the rifle. The same authority says:
THE savage does not use spectacles
ard, therefore,, there is a constant eff
fort of his eye to retain its focus. This
effort results in what it seeks. 4 man
whose eyes have changed so that he
cannot see the sights of his gun can by
a few weeks practice in 'sightin' it re-
gain what he has lost. 1t is the law of
atrophy, which, if it have not progress
ed too far, may be reversed. The first
pair of spectacles might have been long
deferred, but once worn they become
a necessity, because the eye no longer

Sin of Using Tobacco.

In early colonial days the use of to-
bacco was considered far more sinful
and degrading than indulgence in in
toxicating liquors, Oldtime legislation
reveals some curious attempts to check
the spread of the creature called to-
bacco.% Landlords were fined if they
permitted it to be brought into their
taverns No one could take tobacco
publicly nor in his own house or any
where else before, strangers. Two men
were forbidden 10 smoke together and
no one could smoke within two miles
of the meeting houses on the Sabbath
day. In Connecticut in early days a
great indulgence was permitted TO trav-
elers-they were allowed to smoke once
during n journey of ten miles.

Value of Church Privileges.

If a man wants to sell his farm, pleas
ant and well kept surroundings mate,
rally assist in the sale. But if things
are repulsive about the home the pur-
chaser will take it into his estimates
and deduct the cost of improvement
from the value asked. A farmer should
look at many things. A church near
him adds value to his acres. But, on
the other hand, if there are no church
privileges near that fact subtracts
from the value Of land throughout the
neighborhood. There is no denying
this. l have observed it all my life L

spring of the year. The weather was
not favorable for blowing, so some

Charcoal for Poultry.

Poultry raisers in gsneral do not full
ly appreciate the value of good char
coal Twice or thrice a week a good
supply of crushed charcoal-broken up
as small as wheat grahs-shOuld be
placed where the flock can have access
to it at will. Charcoal is a good cor
receive for many ailments poultry are
afflicted with. If charcoal is kept on
hand long it should be put in the oven,
and be we'll heated before using it for
feeding to the poultry. When it has
stood long and been exposed it may be-
come tainted with something, as it is
a great absorbent. Heating it will lrive
out all such impurities and refreshen
it so it will be good as new. Burning
corn on the cob until it is black will
answer well, where it may not be con-
venient to secure the regular charcoal.
Hens seem to enjoy picking among coal
ashes and cinders, and it is good plan
to give them a chance TO do so, as they
often know what they require more
certain than their owners do.

Twenty years experience in the use
of the silo has brought out some facts
about which all are agreed.
/. That larger amount of healthful
cattle food can be preserved in the silo
in better condition, at less expense of
labor and land, than by any other
method known.
2. That silage comes nearer being
perfect substitute for the succulent
food of the pasture than any other food
that can be had in the winter.
5. Thirty pounds ,day is enough
silage for an average sized Jersey cow.
Larger cattle will eat more.
f. A cubic foot of silage from the
middle of a medium-siZed silo will av
erage about forty-five pounds.
3. For 1872 days, or half year, an
average Jersey COW will require about
six tons of silage, allowing for unavOid-
able waste.
6. The circular silo. made of good
hard wood slaves, is cheapest and best.
Z. Fifteen feet in diameter and thirty
feet a good depth. Such a silo VIII hold
about 200 tons of silage, cut in half
inch lengths.
s. Corn just passing out of roasting
ear stage is the best single material for
silage Corn and COW peas are the best
combined materials in COW pea regions.
8. Silage is as valuable in summer as
in winter.
10. The silo has come to be as neces-
sary a part of a dairy farm plant as a
corn crib or hay NOW.

er turn over in his grave. Maybe she
won't hear from me when she comes
home. John Cameron, indeed How did
she come to meet him there?"
"He waited until she came along,
guess" replied Danny, with grin.
I'll be bound she had sent him word,
somehow. that she had laid out to go
over to Mrs. Davis to-day. You set to
work and cut some BINDINGS and get in
the coal for the night, if you don't want
a hiding"
When his mother had re-entered' the
kitchen, still grumbling and mutteI!ng
about Hetty and John Cameron, Danny
came down off the woOdpile. By way of
protest against his task, he SHE'D a heavy
chip at a hen just going to roost in an
apple tree near at hand, and so true was
his aim, that he knocked her futtering
and squawking from her perch. While
he was still enjoying her CONSERVATION,
his mother reappeared with milk pail in
her hand, and started down the path to-
ward the spring house. Danny watched
her progress with delighted expectancy.
Suddenly he saw her plunge forward,
flourish her arms wildly, shying the pail
in the air over her head, and go down
in a heap, emitting a whoop of surprise
and alarm The knotted grass had done
its work well. and the measure of Dan
ny's happiness, for that day, was full.
Night had fallen by the time Hetty
reached her home. Danny was shoveling
up his last load of coal and did not hear
her coming until she was close beside
him. When he was aware Of her pres
ence, he bounded beyond her reach and
held himself in readiness to mount the
woodpile at her first demonstration of
hostility. But, to his bewilderment and
disappointment, she did not evince any re-
sentiment for the track he had played her.
She even looked happy, and it was with
she said to him:
"Why, Danny! thought you said you
were going to get help for Mr.. Cam
eron?"
''AIister Cameron echoed the boy,
with affected surprise. who's he?"
'Well, John Cameron-Jack Cameron,
if you haven't got sense enough to under
stand proper speaking of a gentleman"
snapped Hetty, impatiently.
'Oho! It's Jack, now. is it? Our
Jack! My Jack! Dear Jack! pursued
the mischieyous urchin, with precociOus
talent for burlesque, infusing a ridicu
lousy exaggerated tone of affection into
his voice and manner.
II declare, Danny, 1 do think you are
the most provoking limb of meanness that
ever lived!' exclaimed Hetty, making a
rush at him.
But in two bounds he was on the wood
pile beyond her reach, where he contin-
ued:
ooh, Jack! Dear Jack! Darling Jack!

on him and went into the kitchen.

For Lifting Heavy Things.

AS L was passing a pond where sew
eral men were cutting ice l noticed a
device in use for loading that thought
was a very clever invention. 1t may
be an old, we'll known device, but it
was certainly new to me, and, thinking
that it might be of service, send de-
scription of it. The one l saw was
rough, homemade affair, such as any
farmer could make in few hours. The
standard, or post, was about 6 feet tall;
the sweep, abott IS feet long, hung on
a swivel about ) feet from the butt end.
The post was braced on crOsspieces at
the base to hold it from topping over,
and there was a knotted rope ON the
handle end of the sweep to allow the
butt end, to which the ice tongs were
tied, to dip into water and clutch the
cake of ice; then, by pulling down on
the rope until the sweep could be
grasped in the hand, the cake of ice
could be swung over into the sled or

The "SiIert SubsoiIer.W

1t is claimed very generally by clover
growers that a field upon which a good
crop of clover is grown for two success
i've years will when replowed and
planted to corn yield from fifteen to
twenty-five bushels more corn per acre
than it did before sOwn to clover or
than similar land by its side will which
has not been thus treated. The per-
centage of increase is quite as large in
raising wheat, oats. potatoes and other
crops. The plant draws nitrogen from
the air and stores it in the soil for the
use of succeeding crops. The roots of
the clover penetrate to a great depth
in the unplowed subsOil. drawing nutri-
ment therefrom, assisting in holding
moisture, which when the roots die and
decay increase the fertility of the soil

moisture and with its sister, alfalfa,
