A Good and Cheap Barn.

J. w. Scribner, of Chattaroy, Wash,
sends plans and a description of his
new barn, which was built by himself
and Mrs. Scribner alone. They first
laid definite plans for the structure,
how large it was to be-, it's capacity
for hay and stock accommodations,
etc. The plans are very clearly given
herewith and will furnish opportunity
for great variety of structures that
are wanted with large capacity, yet
must be cheap. Mr. Scribner's barn
has a capacity of 80 tons of hay and
Scribner says:
I did a great deal of the framing
during the winter, and built the barn
during the spring and summer, with
the help of Mrs. Scribner. We hoisted
the timbers with block and tackle.
consider this barn exceptional In ease
of construction, economy of material,
convenience and strength. 1t contains
SO braces, all sawed and nailed on.
There is not mortise or tenon in the
building. The corner posts are sawed
into S-foot lengths. The first set are
toe-nailed to the stills; the first girts
are spiked to the top of the corner
posts, then the second set of posts toe
nailed to the first girts, and so on.

A Cheap Hot-bed-We went to a liv-
cry barn where grain was fed to the
horses and got three loads of fresh
manure, with considerable bedding in
it. This was piled in a sunny place,
sheltered from the northwest winds.
When it began to heat, which was in
about three days, it was forked over
into a pile about five feet wide, eight
feet long and two feet high. Then the
frame, 3 feet by feet, IL inches high
behind and inches high in front, was
placed on top, we'll banked with ma
nure then about 4 inches of fine, rich
soil placed inside. AS soon as warm
plant the seed A thermometer should
be used to regulate the heat Use a
light frame made of 6-foot Stats and
covered with muslin, instead of glass
sash. Cover at night with boards.
This bed is working finely now.-F. L.
Johnson, Yakima Co.
Marbles in CattIe.-In a recent is
sue of The Ranch see a report by the
Kansas agricultural college on the
MARBLE or grub in cattle. II those
Kansas college professors know as lit
tie of agriculture in general as they
do of MARBLES in particular, the sooner
they go to sleep, and the longer they
stay so, the better for their students
and all who are influenced by the in
stitution. I have seen 70 years and
been raised among cattle and horses
all my life. I have seen thousands OF
bots and bot flies, but this is the first
that I ever heard of an OK bot or that
MARBLES were propagated as those pro-
fessors describe. I know better! The
MARBLE is the production OF the CAD
fly, which much resembles small
humble bee, but is much quicker OF
flight, and in hot weather haunts the
shade where cattle resort to avoid the
scorching sun. They dart down on
the cattle's backs and sting them, de-
posting the egg under the skin, where
the MARBLE grows until the next spring.
The flies are great pests to the cattle
while they last, and the grubs are a
torture while they inhabit the backs
of their victims. Sometimes the whole
back is one inflammed sore, and when
in poor keeping they will sap the life
out of them. Spirits of turpentine or
coal OIL IN the VENUS Will Kill Iucu
and heal the sores. A small machine
oil can is the best for that use.-Wm
A. Conant, Kittitas Co.
A One-Horse CuItivator.-No doubt
many of your subscribers are expecting
to buy a one-horse cultivator. To those
who want good one, I would say:
Buy Planet Jr 12-tooth harrow, COM
plete with pulverizer and wheel. This
can be regulated deep or shallow to
the fraction of an inch and expands to
80 inches or contracts to IL inches.
Procure from the same firm two 10
inch hoe steels and one 15-inch sweep.
Have your smith make standards for
these to attach to frame, and see that
he shapes them so that your steels
and sweep are level. Now remove the
two back teeth and bolt in place the
standards with hoe steels attached.
You will find hole in the frame, just
in front of where handles are fastened,
to which bolt the sweep. If arranged
as described this tool will cut off every
weed just below the surface, and the
pulverizer or rakes following close be-

Rehoboam went up to Shechem to
meet a body resembling in its COM
position and powers the States-General
of France before which Louis XVI an
peared. The historic scenes, sunder-
ed by three thousand years. have some
points in common. The Hebrew
National Assembly was resolved that
the new king should plight his faith
as constitutional monarch. Had he
consented rebellion would have been
nlpped in the bud. There was a
three days truce. 1t was the pause
before great catastrophe which is
always solemn. During this time
Rehoboam was taking counsel chiefly
of his fellows. the gtlded youth of the
empire. Then came the kings reck-
lessly insolent answer to his subjects
on the very edge Of revolt, in which he
threatened to add to his fathers yoke
and exchange his whips for scorpions.
The war cry arose at once, ITO your

David's sacred name had lost its spell
as the people cried. See to thine own

With the inveteracy of prince of
blunderers Rehoboam sent a tax
gather to placate tax-resisters. At
sight of 'Adoram, who was over the
tribute" the first overt act was com
mitted and the first blood of the revo
luton shed. Happily IT proved tho
only blood.
