hope that it will be of some use to
those wishing a small barn. It is 1Sx
a feet on the ground and divided as
shown in the floor plan. The open shed
is used for tools, a wagon, buggy, OF

place to store manure. In some of the
colder States doors should be provided
for the shed, and possibly the parti-
tons extended to the ceiling. The
structure is ten feet at the caves and
fourteen to sixteen feet in front. The
loft is tlOOred over eight feet above
the grade line. This provides ample
storage space for hay and rough feed
and the two feed rooms are ample for
grain and bran. These may be fioored
or not. as desired. The outer walls are
boarded up and down and battened.
The roof should be covered with some
rather tight material not over eight
inches wide, and this is turn covered
with any of the prepared roofing felt
now on the market. The barn has
been built several times at a price
ranging from $50 to $50, and can be
built some cheaper where native lum-
Der is used. When neatly painted it
will make very good appearance. I
was prompted to submit the sketch
from several articles written by sub
scrbers stating that small barn plans

Don't crawl around blessing lest
you miss it entirely.
Don't be afraid of wearing your re-
ligion out by using 1t every day.
Don't cultivate that sympathy for
others that ends in being sorry for
yourself.
Don't preach on modern sinners as
long as the supply of olden saints holds
out.
Don't try to quicken the appetite Of
men for Righteousness by preaching on
rottenness.
Don't point the way to heaven with
your lips while your life is headed the
other way.
Don't shut your heart to the griefs
and needs of others unless you would
shut out genuine joy.
Don't live in dread of death. Those
who are not afraid to die are the ones
the world wants to live.

SHORT METER SERMONS.

The life of saint is a living sermon.
Prudence is a good form of prayer for
Providence
More good men go to the bad in good
times than in bad
The best way to fight sin is by being
friend to the sinner.
It's slow work climbing to heaven on
smooth words.
Moral muscle does not come from
mush and moonshine.
It is always easier to promise butter
than it is to provide bread.
The price of finding truth is being
willing to pay anything for it.
1t is only the empty bag that needs
many props to maintain it's dignity.
When religion means closing the eyes
1t never meg MS keeping the mouth shut.
One of the most dangerous rogues
is he who is so busy regulating others
he has no time to do the right him
self.
Many man who says he has ration
al difficulties in religion means that he
has difficulty in being rational in re-
ligion.

Seeding Clover.

There are customs which are rigid
Iy adhered to in the sowing or plant
ing Of staple crops. Glover is usually
Sown on wheat land in the spring, the
seed being scattered over the ground
when 1t is covered with snow in order
to facilitate the work. One of the
rigid rules is to SOW certain quantity
Of seed (as little as possible if seed Is
high, and should the stand be light
the cause is ascribed to everything but
the quantity of seed that has been
used. That fact is that seed should be
used more literally, as much Of it is
destroyed in various ways before germl-
nation, the saving Of seed causing a
loss Of clover. Another point is to
harrow the wheat, seed down the clov-
err and then use a roller on the land.
The better the preparation for clover,
the more seed will terminate and the
more perfect the ''catch."

stood his test he handed, not shining
sword, not a glittering spear, nor even
a bow and arrow, but a trumpet and
empty pitcher and a lamp. Softly but
firmly they crept into the enemy's
camp, and at the proper signal they
smashed their pitchers and waved
their lamps, and shouted through their
trumpets: "The sword of the Lord
and of Gideon!' And the Midfanites
terrified beyond measure, fed in wild
confusion.
But why was not the battle cry
merely '"The sword Of the Lord? Why
should be added or even considered in
the same connection the phrase land
of Gideon?' Was not that rather pre-
sumptuous? No. The last part Of that
battle cry not only indicates no vain
arrogance, but it is absolutely essential
to the victory. Gideon in pulpit or
pew, in his office or his home, whatever
his calling may be, business, profession
or domestic, is not only tolerated by
God, but is vitality necessary to Gods
plans. When God wishes to accom-
plish things among men, he uses men
for the work.
The struggle of God and Gideon in
the world is one and the same struggle
for righteous advancement. AS soon
as we realize this, making Gods fight
our fight, realizing that our victories
are His victories and our defeats His
defeats. religion becomes something
active and inspiring and our daily Ia
bOrs become noble. And as we go
forth to life's battle, deeming it more
than worth while if in our small way
we can overcome even one of Gods
enemies, behold, we find that our
armor is a plain business suit covering
character determined and brave and
thoughtful and the sword of the Lord
is no glitterfng or cleaning weapon,
but a common lamp or pitcher or such
tools as we use in our home or our
office or our shop every day. And the
greatness and goodness of life depends
upon whether we look upon all we
possess as our own alone or as our
own for Him to be welded by us in
His battle.
May His shield of love be over our
heads in temptation, and may His
sword, which is the living sword never
have it's edge turned in our hands by
vanity or fear or neglect.

WEAVING Pigs.

1t will soon be time to take young
pigs from the soWs and in weaving
them much care will be necessary to
avoid stunning them or stopping their
growth. When about three weeks old
the young pigs will begin to look
around for feed, and a pen should then
be provided for them where they can
be coaxed and given a little fresh
milk-it takes very little at first-after
they have once tasted the milk they
may be easily called to their feed.
Corn should be constantly kept in this
pen and the little pigs have free access
to it at all times. Milk or swill should
be fed to them, a little at first, and
increased gradually daily. It will be
beneficial to give them all the fresh
clean swill they will drink up clean
at each feed. Never feed little pigs
anything sour or so much swill that it
will stand in the trough and sour Feed
them this way until you see that the
SOW is dried up, then remove her and
the pigs will be weaned.

The sword Of the Lord and of Gid
eon.-Judges vii 20.
1t is the peculiar battle cry Of that
still more peculiar battle Of long ago.
Gideon had been busy thrashing
wheat for his father when suddenly
he heard the voice Of the Lord saying
go, and thou shalt save Israel" He
felt very small and Insignificant and
held back.
Finally he realized that, although
he was only Gideon, yet with the Lord
of Hosts as his might and his power
the weakness Of man might be turned
into strength if the cause be righteous
and the ambition unselish. So Gideon
obeyed, for the Midianites were threat
ening Gods people, and he blew
trumpet and called together all the
mighty men of valor, and to each of
the 800 fearless and alert soldiers who

They laid him on the table. His
native vigor was in his favor, but his
great size was against him. SiXty-four
square inches of flesh were laid bare be-
fore the operation was over. The right
hand was crushed, but the surgeons
dared not touch it until 1t was seen
whether the patient would rally from
the amputation.
That evening the camp had to move,
and the jolting journey was an awful
ordeal for the wounded man. At last,
expecting his death at any moment,
the doctors had him carried to a farm
house by the way. In the morning he
had gained little strength.
