Arrangement Of the Granary.

A granary should be so constructed
that all of the different kinds of grain
produced by the farmer can be stored
in it and yet use all of the available
space. The illustration given here
with shows the same buildings so far
as width goes, but gives it at varying
heights. This gives a ten-foot drive
way, with nine-foot clearance. On
either side, we have the corn crib,
eight feet in width. This illustration
is given to show the capacity of vari-
GUS heights, when this particular
width is used. You will note the oat
bin in the center. The farmer who
also raises wheat can vary the bins
to suit his individual needs. This will

We had met all the representatives
of the sheep business, but when the
hayman came upon the scene we real
lied there were rogues at large other
than sheep men. We recognized him
when he tied his mule to our only
cherry tree. He wore a large flock
of hair, in which he carried samples
of his hay and cockleburs, and had
large. we'll developed feet encased in
overshoes, which left. marks on our
porch reminding one of a relief map
of the Alps. He looked at us loud
and angrily through a pair of window
panes and demanded we hand over
the ready cash which we have made
in this business, amounting to several
thousand dollars. Upon our refusal
he gave us the choice of settling with
his attorney or going to the peniten-
tiary. Considering there was little
preference, we consulted with his
lawyer, who charged us $50 besides
postage:
He is a shining light in his profess
sion, and his tall, hungry looking
form swayed with emotion as he laid
down the law to us, which he had
learned at his mothers knee back
in the early '40s. He tried to compel
us to sign over this sheep ranch in
settlement of his fee and we wish we
had. No lawyer would ever bother a
sheep man again with such an expert
ence recorded in Blackstone. How
ever, we think his aspirations point
toward the sheep business. This &C.

by assigning our bank book to him,

It wasn't the right kind of a cork;
nor bottle.
He said the collection had been put
in his hands because the hayman had
forgotten his multiplication table and
couldn't figure it out. He produced

Herring Carry a Boat a Mile.

The latest fish story to come in is
that of James Maddox, a fisherman,
who was caught in the midst of a
large school of herring in Gunpowder

the fish.
According to Maddox, despite his
efforts at the oars, he was carried
nearly mile out of his course before
he succeeded in. extricating his boat
from the school. In one haul of big

RIFLE IN TREE TRUNK.
Oak Has Grown Around the Gun, Al
most Completely Embedding It.

About II miles from Centralia, on
the road to Little Rock, is a curios-
ity, to see which would amply repay
any one for the drive, says the Seattle
Times. About fifty yards from the
road, near deserted homestead, is an
old-fashioned rifle imbedded in the
trunk of tree.
The trunk of the scrub oak is not
more than six inches through at the
point where the rifle is imbedded, so
that the stock and barrel are in com.
plete view. The rifle is in a perfect
state of preservation.
1t is evident that the rifle was
placed in crotch Of the tree many
years ago, probably at the height at
which a man would rest a gun when
taking careful AIM
In the course of years the tree has
grown completely around the rifle, the
lock being imbedded. The crotch is
now about six inches above the barrel
and the gun is about ten feet from the
ground.
Romances innumerable might be
woven about the old rifle, butt it
stands as a memento to the develop
ment and progress that have taken
place. What was wild and unex.
plored country at the til1e when the
rifle was first placed in the crotch of
the tree, with the red man monarch of
all he surveyed, with scattered settle
ments of hardy pioneers already pre-
pairing to contest his supremacy, is

prosperous families.

A long conversation ensued, during
which Mark Twain reminded the king
