any are weak. then nail short pieces of
planking across on both sides. II is
surprising how much stronger the
frame Is after such treatment. In nov
ing, the rollers should be kept levelled
up as evenly as possible so as not to
rack the building more than absolutely
necessary.
The kind of a barn frame that will
best stand a cyclone Is the one that
eve makes the sudden and informal
acquaintance of such a violent wind
twistcr. The best plan is to build a
strong frame anyway and trust to Pro.
violence that the cyclone will pass by
on the other side. Pay little attention
to any claim that a certain kind OF
construction may be cyclone proof.
Some years ago a barn was torn down
that had been rigldly braced in every
conceivable amer. 1t also had long
and heavy wood anchor rods running
through the stills and buried deep down
in the stone foundation. Still it was
of no avail when the cyclone came
along.

GOOSEBERRY AND
CURRANT PLANTS
BY Prof. j.. f. Volta, Gustavus
Adolphus College.

Only few farmers and others who
grow g~ooseberries and currants to
any extent give much thought TO how
to get new plants in the spring. New
plants from the old stock may be oh.
tanned in the spring with but little eff.
fort in the fall On the part of the
OVner
This may be done by bending down
and partially covering firmly with
earth a small portion of half a dozen
branches, each separately, leaving the
ends sticking out. Covering the small!
portion of the branches just deep
enough so that they will not work
out.
The portion covered will in good
growing weather take root and the
next spring may be cut from the old
plant, dug up and set out as a e
plant, Many new plants may easily
be obtained by this method, You can
lager the grape vines in the same
way,

LOCATING THE
FARM BUILDINGS

II sometimes is a difficult problem
to arrange the location of all the barn
buildings so that they will be conven
lent for doing chores the whole year
round. And the greatest trouble Is on
most farms. that one or more of the
older buildings are in the way of work
ing out the best plan.
Nearly all dairymen have grown into
the business and had very little ready
money to build a fine and commodious
GARY barn at the outset. Some old
barn or stable was rcmOdeled tempo
rarily. and sometimes used much long
or than expected. Then, when the
large, new basement barn wa con:
struCtcd, II vas put one side so as not
to disturb the old buildings. This is
frequently a mistake. In these days
It does not cost So very much to move
any old building. no matter how large
or Uneven the ground, And when the
new barn is built it should he located
in the best and most available posi-,
ton, and any old structure moved, If
in the way. Almost every section of
the country has a building mover, and
with heavy jacks, roller and horse
power windlass it makes an old barn
get going in short order.
In order TO have a basement it is
not necessary to select a side hill or
slope. Some of the best barns in the
country are on perfectly level ground.
And the best easements were timber
or plank frames, though a stone wall
is all right for the back side, if plenty
Of windows can be provided.
II the stills under the old barn are
rotten in various places, then jack the
building up high enough to insert new
stills underneath. Spike heavy plank.
