GAMBREL-RooF BARN..
Roomy, Convenient Building Which
tho Handy Farmer Can Build

In this design we show q barn plan
from which more barns have been
erected than from any other barn plan
ever designed. says the Farmers Re-
view. In it's construction we have a
frame made up Of small timbers, but
one of such strength that it has with
stood the high winds Of the Dakota
prairies, when buildings of heavier
frames have been wrecked. Each and
every timer that composes the frame
has been proportioned to Withstand
the strain it is compelled to resist;
and in doing this the use of long and
heavy timbers has been avoided, thus
bringing the cost within the limits Of

The Farmer a Business Man.

The Farmer Business Man.
If farm owners would but adopt
systems Of bookkeeping it would add
millions Of dollars every year to the
profits of our farms by eliminating the
growing of crops that do not pay and
allowing them to be grown by the
men that are so situated as to make
a profit in their production. The mot
knowing" is what sinks many farm
er into debt. The application of the
science of numbers to our farm opera
lions is the most logical movement in
the direction of farm Improvement.
The farmer is as much business man
as the citizen that handles dry goods
and groceries and he cannot get avay
from the necessity of using the meth
DDS that have been found to be abso-
lutely necessary in the carrying on Of
every other kind of commercial enter
prise, if he would be largely success
full.

WINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS
1nquisitive Traveller Evened Up Scores

Wallace Cummings used to drive the

aid. One day Wallace had as passen-
ger out Of Portland young city chap
or dude, as Wallace called him. The
scenery along the stage route was both
beautiful and diversified; the young
man was much interested, and as he sat
on the box, or post of honor, beside WAL
lace, literally piled him with questions
as to what mountain that was and what
river this was, etc. i.
The old driver, who detested this sort
of Interrogation, stood it as long as he
could. Finally he blurted out: "Say,
stranger; if you'll mind your business
I'll mind mine."
Thus snubbed, the young man re-
lapsed into silence.
They had driven about ten miles
farther when they came to a long hill,
where the driver was obliged to apply
the brake. AS he showed his foot
toward it he Immediately noticed that
the mail bag, which always lay there,

Wallace stopped his horses; then,
breaking the long silence, he said:

bag slide OFF,"
Eyes, I did; some ten miles back"
cafmly remarked the young man.
well, why in thunder didn't you tell
me?" gasped the astonished driver.
The dude" looked him squarely in
the eye for moment, and then he
drawled, initiating Wallace's tone:
"Say, driver, you mind your business
and I'll mind mine."
The rest Of the journey was driven
in cold silence.

at the Japanese capital. and was consul
general at New York from 1882 to 1894.

one of the oldest families Of Russia
Since 1888, when the Muravieffs came
into the landed estates in the province
Of NOygorod which they still hold. they
have figured on nearly every page OF
Russian history. y. V. Muravieh was
years ago a secretary of state at ST.
Petersburg, and i'll 1894 was appointed
president of the criminal section of the
senate. which is the highest court in
Russia. He became minister of justice
in 1895. and since then has reformed the
judicial systems of Siberia and other
