How to Raise a Barn.

A farmer near Goliad had novel
experience. A few years ago he built
small barn, and in the construction
used green willow posts at the corners
and along the sides. For some time
nothing unusual was noticed, but after
year he saw that where he had laid
the floor near the ground it was three
feet above soil. He discovered that
the willow posts, instead Of being dead,
were alive, had taken root and were
growing. In their upward movement
they had carried the barn along. Last
spring the barn was on stills 9 feet
high, and he put in a new floor and
surrounded the posts with siding,
thereby making two-story affair.
There is now space Of inches be-
tween the floor and the ground, and
the owner expects to have a three-story
barn in the course of time.-Goliad.

How Seeds Are Scattered.

DR.. Howard, secretary of the Amer
lean Society for the Advancement OF
Science, writing of the manner in
which seeds are carried to great dis
tances by birds, recites an experiment
of Darwin which had a curious, result.
Adhering to the leg of a wounded part
ridge, Darwin found a ball of earth,
weighing six and a half ounces. From
the seeds contained il this ball he
raised thirty-two plants, belonging to
five distinct species.

The laying Of soft-shelled eggs is
caused by lack of shell-making ma
terial, in the shape Of crushed oyster
shells or some other form of lime. The
hens should have plenty of good grit.
Half the time the fowls are left with

meets, that some one should right the
real wrongs and cure the heartaches
and Ills Of our everyday world.
1t Is good thing to believe that this
Is good world, that somehow love is
working out the final good Of all. But
to-day He must be strangely blind or
caIloused who is not moved by the cry
OF little children who are robbed of
their heritage Of happy, free play and
laughter, and by the groans or the
silent sufferings Of those, our own
brothers, who bear the great burdens of
unrem1tting toll. There Is so much of
unnecessary suffering in the world.

loose thinking, foggy philosophy and
unsc1entific superstition in the world

when our neighbors' hearts are break
ing?
1t Is hard to understand how those
VINO profess to follow this man of sor-
rows can content themselves to sit and
dream OF some other happy world
where they will be free from all pain
and sorrow, or how they can endeavor
still to shield themselves from this
worlds great need and to shut out from
thelr ears the sound of it's signing.
How often is religion but a synonym
for soul shriveling selfishness.
If we follow Him we will go where
He went. If we do His will we will do
His kind of work We can afford to
leave the disputed questions Of doc
trines and creeds for the present until
we have settled the question of the
rights Of our fellows, until we have
soothed their aching hearts and
strengthened the weak and comforted
the sad
1t is a good deal more important that
we shall raise those who have fallen
to-day in life's battle than that we
should have the most accurate and re-
liable picture Of the fall of the first
man. The evil we need to wage war
against Is not that of false thinking
about God so much as it is that of
mans failure to become like his god,
the terrible evil of a man lost through
selfishness and greed.
The divinity Of that life of long ago
Is established by the answer it made
to the call of humanity, by the SYM
pathy it showed for the suffering, by
the fact that it gave itself a life of
love, to those who were bereft of the
rights and joys Of life. The best life
is that which reaches down to the
worst which interprets religion by liv-
Ing for the highest in the lowliest.
It's no use dreaming of the bliss of
heaven unless we are seeking to bring
something of that joy of which we
dream to be reality in our ways of
earth. The need of the needy is not
money or clothes, it is men of sorrows,
lives that will become part of their
lives and know the fellowship of their
everyday lot. We must not pretend to
be like Him unless we put our lives
where he put His and give ourselves to
His ministry for sorrow.

silase in Steer Feeding.

The use of silage in feeding steers
while fattening is growing in favor
steadily, and especially where lands
are high priced and when feeding
stufss generally are high. There has
been good deal of prejudice against
silage among extensive feeders. but as
they are induced to try it so do they
become converted to it's use.
In feeding experiments conducted at
the Missouri Station in 1867 with
steers weighing about 800 pounds each
At the beginning, those fed si!age ate
less dry matter than those fed whole
slower or shredded stove", and gained
IL weight, while the dry stover lots
lost The same sort of results were
also secured from feeding sliced slower

Professor Plumb, of the Ohio Agri-
cultural College, has this to say on the
subject:
eff silage is fed under cover, ard to
cattle not wallowing in mud or oozy
manure, then good results viii gen
orally come from Its use. However,
hay or other dry roughage should also
b fed. Silage fed twice Il day and
hay once should give good results.
When cattle are being finished for
shipment, then the amount of silage
fed should be reduced and the dry
roughage increased, this to prevent
much shrinkage in shipping. However,
in what is known as rational feeding,
but little shrinkage is apt to occur
from the use of the silage. III expert

Death of Hon. George M, Clark

Hon. George NJ. Clark died suddenly
of heart failure at Haddam, Conn.,,
March 2. Although he had been a
sufferer with diabetes for several years,
he had been in fairly good health and
his death was great shock to his fam
ily and many friends. He was presi-
dent of the Cutaway Harrow Company,
and had just made tour of the plant,
and was entering his office when he fell
backwards, and when assistance reached
him, almost Immediately, he was dead.
He was in his 10th year. His wife, who
was Miss Clementina Ives Bonfoui, and
two daughters, Estella E., wife of
Thomas S. Hubbard, and Clementina
D., wife of Elmer S. Hubbard, survive.
Bsnh of his sons-in-law were associated
with him in his business.
Mr.. Clark was for years one of the
leading citizens of his state, and an
active and vigorous politician, holding
important offices in his town and serving
it in the legislature as representative,
also as senator from his district. lie
w. born in Haddam and had lived there
nearly all his life. In 1867 he began,
with his brothers, the manufacture OF
agricultural implements, and soon after
organized the Cutaway Harrow Com
pany, and became its president, an office
which he has held since.
In recent years he became interested
iu the scientific cultivation of grass, ano

subject. His letters have been interest

Stable Ventilation.

Basement stables are going out of
fashion because of the difficulty of
proper ventilation and light. While it is
economy to keep stock warm they do
not need to be housed in cellar to re-
ceive adequate protection from the
severity of the weather. 1t is difficult
to construct basement stables and avoid
darkness and dampness, two enemies to
health of live stock.
The Importance of having stables
ventilated according to the latest prin-
ciples of sanitation is now recognized by
live stock breeders. There are many
devices to admit fresh air into stables
without creating drafts, and stock to
maintain robust vitality needs an abun'
dance of pure air.
Not only proper ventilation should be
provided for stables, but also adequate
light, or a stable to be in semi-darkness
at midday indicates faulty hygienic con-
struction. All domestic animals enjoy
the light of day. Horses in their wild
state delight to disport on the treeless
plains. They never seek the darkness
of dense forests for residence, but rather
the plain or mountain side, where they
can have the glorious light of day.
Man is the child of light and many oi
his ailments are conquered by life ir
pure air and sunshine. Domestic ami
mails are sppreciative of and benefited
by proper ventilation and light. Th'
abrupt transition from a dark stable t
glaring sunshine is exceedingly injurious
to the visual organs of all kinds o
domestic animals. Make the stables sc
they can be filed with refreshing All
and cheerful light.-Chicago Live Stocl

Farmers Proverbs.

/. Always have something growing
on the soil and something decaying in
the soil.
2. The soil is the cemetery of ages
and the life of all that is to come.
3. The man who lays straight fur
row will be more likely to be God
fearing man, better citizen and a
truer neighbor than If content with
slack work.
4. Glover is the foundation of all
agricultural prosperity, and it must ever
be our salvation as farmers.
5. The fight for moisture is far
greater than for fertility.
6. Live stock offers the only solu'
ton of the agricultural problem, but it
must be backed by brains and critical
oversight.
Z. Mans necessity is Gods oppor
tunity.
S. Always sell finished product.
0. The single feed of hay for horse
IL sold, takes more away from the farm
than ton of butter.

ambition there's always a lion in th'
way.-Andrew Elliott in New England
