lap slate roof. 1t has foundation of
stone pillars, but l think sewer pipe
preferable, being cheaper. ratproof,
and, if filled with concrete, practically
indestructible.
The wagon and machine shed is 10x
80, shielded against one side of the
crib. Balloon frame, sided with hard
pine and rooted with felt, the slope
not being sufficient for slate. A els
tern occupies one corner, while all the
rest is available for storing farm
implements. A small door is in one end
while the other is a full width door
hung on rollers, the end of the crib
making a place for the track. The
cistern while not really necessary is
very convenient place to store water
for dry time or for use in washing the
express wagon or buggy. Do not build
the wagon-shed too small, as no mat
ter how large it is it is nearly always
filled to running over.

rial in his neighborhood, your in
quirer can figure the cost for himself.

Farmers in thickly settled districts
take naturally to concentrated or Elm
tensive" farming. They have high
priced land, manure cheap and plenty.
and almost unlimited markets for the
best grades of fresh produce.
The result is shown conspicuously
in state like Massachus etts, says the
Massachusetts, Ploughman, where 81
per cent. of the people live in cities.
and where, by the rapid increase OF
popula ton during the last 20 years, the
farmers nearby market has increased
three and one-half times. In the state
mentioned the number of acres culti-
waited has, according to the statistics
of Prof. Waugh, decreased % per cent,
and this alongside the great enlarge
ment of the market. Most of the land
thus gradually: abandoned was not
suited for high-grade tillage crops and
has been left to pasturage and forest
growth. On the other hand, the
amount of farm products has in
creased 81 per cent. In other words,
Massachusetts farmers raise one-haf
more produce on three-fourths the
aren as compared with 20 years ago.
Thus the working farms have grown
smaller, while the crops have grown
larger and more valuabl The great
er part of this change is evidently in
the farming regions in close touch
with city markets. The more remote
sections show fewer changes in 20
years, yet the same tendency to con-
centrate. efforts on the best land is
everywhere noted.
Specialization is another influence
which has raised crop values. Farm
ing under cloth, gardening under glass,
drainage, heavy manurirg and all the
various methods of high pressure agri-
culture have all done their part. The
farmers of the thickly settled regions
have become lately gardeners, milk
producers, fruit growers and the like,
| and the old-time, all-around farmer is
in the minority. This tendency is from
most points of view one to be COM
mended. It tends to rem owe the farm-
er from distant competition, to help
| him learn to raise at least one product
| we'll. to increase his skill and general
intelligence, and to increase the aver.
age of profit.

Keeping Farm Soil Fertile.

Farmers are beginning to wake up
to the Importance of keeping their
soil fertile. They have found out
that they cannot go on indefinitely
taking crops from their land and re-
turning nothing to it. AS result
of this more and more are rotating
their crops, seeding down more land
to clover, are keeping more stock to
produce more fertilizers, and are
learning that instead of their land
wearing out and the soil becoming
exhausted, that they can improve
the fertility of their land and raise
heavier crops with less labor, and
make more than they could under
the old system of robbing the land.

Catarrh In Spring:
The spring is the best time to treat

Judge Massey, who owns a quarter

at the mine and went home loaded
down with samples from the late dis
covery The boys are now down 20
feet and every inch is in good shipping
ore. The ledge is three feet wide and
promises permanency, as the walls are
well defined and the owners believe
that they have the only real ledge
that has SO far been uncovered in that
promising district.
The Judge was mighty well pleas I'd
with what he saw, and it is more than
likely with the present showing that
he will be a visitor in this city pretty
often. Assays from the ledge show
that it is nearly all shipping ore,
which means that the False Alarm
will be paying before snow flies.
It is likely that the force will be
increased in q short time, as the own
ers are anxious to see what they have
and just how big it is. It certainly
looks like q mine from the present
indications, and 1t is only three miles
from this city.
