BIG BARNS UNpRoFITABLE.

Unless adequate insurance is to be
carried against fire, lightning and wind
we would not build the big barn, but
two or three smaller ones, separating
them some distance from each other.
1t is very difficult to save the animals
in case of fire when so many are mass
ed in one big building and equally hard
to save other property. So many of
these big barns are struck by lightning
every year, and the entire hay crop
and often the small grain crop of the
farm burned up, that the big barn is
an Improbable proposition. Even
where full insurance is carried one
third of the loss still falls on the own
er, besides all the annoyance connect
ed with the loss of his stuff. We would
divide up, keep the grain in granary,
the cows in a COW barn, the horses in
horse barn, the machinery in a ma
chine shed or house and the corn tn
cribs, each well separated from the
other.

EAT LESS MEAT.

1t is a very good time just now to
start a campaign Of education in the
use Of the cheaper cuts of meat to take
the place of the high priced porter
house and sirloin steak. the rib roast
and tenderloin. The rump. the flank,
the shoulder cuts and other low priced
cuts contain just as much nutriment
when properly cooked and are just as
palatable, but they can't be fried, and
too many cooks can't cook anything
except in a frying pan. The iaborer
in foreign lands seldom gets any meat
at all. and the American laborer who
gets $1.5O per day will hereafter have
to let lamb chops. porterhouse steak
and sirloin roasts alone. for wages will
not follow meats.

BURDEN BEARERS.

Man is born burden bearer and has
to live his little span of life carrying
burdens Of some sort or other and
never free from them. Some, through
ignorance or stupidity, never carry
their loads easily. They do not proper
ly adjust them to their shoulders and
go granting and growing through life.
Others take up their burdens intelli-
gently and so adjust them that they
chafe and irritate the bearer as little
as possible, and they grow strong and
happy carrying their load. Others
and these are pretty mean lot-shuck
their burdens and pile them on some
body else's shoulders. Then there are
the burdens Of the weak, the helpless,
the unfortunate ones, whose burdens
it is pleasure to help carry.

DIGGING GOLD.

1t makes all the difference in the
world where the gold comes from. Ii
washed out of the sand of some creek
bed. there is great excitement. and peo.
pie go almost crazy over it. while If
dug out of the ground in the shape of
good crops dairy products and fat
stock 1t provokes no comment at all.
Cape Nome, with all the wild furore,
only furnishes as much gold as two
good western stock counties.

KNOW YOUR CORN.

The shortage in the corn crop Of 1901
has done more than anything else could
have done to demonstrate the vast i'm
portance Of this crop to the country at
large. All of the greatly increased
prices of meats, poultry and butter
may be directly traced to the increased
price of corn. Within the limits Of the
corn belt there is no one thing which is
Of so much Importance to the grower
of this crop as to learn more about it
how to get better types Of corn. how to
grow more bushels per acre. Corn
means meat. and meat will never be as
cheap again as 1t has been.

TO IMPROVE noes MANNERS

The agricultural department is going
to try some experiments in hog breed
ing to see whether better behaved
sort of animal cannot be evolved. We
question the wisdom Of the effort. The
hog is all right when he is properly
cared for. He is not scavenger save
as he is forced to it. and when well
fed on proper food and cared for in a
Clearly manner he is about as decent a
domestic animal as there is on the
farm.

NO KICK COMING.

During a period Of fifty years resi-
dence in the west we do not recall
time when throughout all the great
cereal producing section of the west
and northwest soaking rain was more
sorely needed than on the last Of April
this year or time when the need was
SO splendidly met The rains came one
after the other, five or six inches Of
water banishing in two days all the
drought bOgies and making the country
look like the garden Of Eden.

We have been using some maple sug-

real thing. 1t was made In an Ohio

the office of road supervisor. Every
other state should 60 and do likewise.
