AppIe Superstitionn.

In Scotland one of the Halloween
customs used to be "eating an apple at
the glass;" That was to stand before
looking-glass and eat an apple with
one hand and with the other comb the
hair' when the face of ones future hus
band would be seen in the glass looking
over the left shoulder. In the South
OF England an apple charm was for
each person present to fasten an apple
on to string, after which the strings
were hung and twlrled before the fire.

Barn for Mixed Farming.

The farmer who can so adjust his
work that he may dispense with the
help Of one man Is lucky indeed, but
many a farmer has done so by sim
ply changing his system of feeding and
caring for the stock; also by so dis
posing of the grain and hay that in
stead Of hauling many tons Of 1t to
market 1t is fed on the farm, and the
beef, pork, butter, cheese etc., sold.
This allows the farmer to restore to
the ground at least a part of the fer
tility In the shape Of manure
The barn plan shown herewith in
the two Illustrations, the ground plan
and the perspective view, is so ar
ranged that one man. may feed and
care for the stock in a short time. As
shown on the floor plan, the barn will
accommodate fourteen cows, twelve
horses, has box stalls for both the
cows and horses, also large calf pen.
The installation of manure carriers
and hay fork Is very easy, and these
viii soon pay for themselves In the
labor saved A feature of the barn
not to be overlooked Is the arrange
ment Of the feed room and silo. The
four-foot chute extends the entire
length Of the silo, and has small win

Father Mathew was the most low
ing and lovable of human beings"
ana In the light of this statement
found in a recent biography of the
Famous Irish priest, by Mrs. Kather-
Inc lyman Hinkson, two incidents Of
his crusade for temperance In the
north of Ireland should be read.
At Clones, in Ulster, there were two
Orange flags raised when he visited
1t. Instead Of considering it as an in
suit, he thought it a very great COM
pliment, never having seen one or been
honored with one before. When he
saw them he called for three cheers
for the Orange flag Commenting on
this an Irish writer says:
"A Catholic priest calling for a cor
dial salutation of the Orange banner
and a Catholic assembly heartily re-
spending was something almost incon-
ceivable. 1t had never occurred be-
fore in Ireland-I'm afraid 1t has
never occurred since"
For the time being there were good
VIII and friendly feeling from one end
of Ulster to the other. One recruit

epce"

Destruction by Rats.

There are those who declare that
nothing is created In vain, and that
rats and mice are in some way benefit
TO mankind. 1t is hard to see just
how. The statlsticlan Of the Agricul.
tural Bureau at Washington computes
that they create $15,OOO,0OO damage q
year. That is the real money damage
saying nothing of the annoyance. Az
an Offset, the rat catchers of the world
sell about $1,00O,OOO worth of skins per
year, and the furriers work them and
sell them for 1--WE times that sum. II
is estimated that full-grown rat will
eat six bushels Of corn per year.

GOOD BARN PLAN.

dows for light, tight door below
separating same from the feed room
to keep out dust and odors. The
silage is dropped down this chute, and
from there shOvelled to the mixing
boxes-one for the cows and one for
the horses. There are two bins in the
feed room and two more may be locat-
ed on the floor above and connected
by small spouts for drawing off the
grain. These spputs may be located di-
rectly over the mixing boxes. All hay
is supposed to be fed from above, one
hay chute being provided for each two
stalls.
The milk room being located as 1t
Is, the milk may be taken to it at once.
In this room should be located the
separator; also plenty of clean water I;
If possible running water should be
provided. The shop is very neces-
sary room, and 1t will save many small
repair bills. In 1t may be stored the
nails, bolts, etc. In the horse barn
the harness room is located in the
center, which makes 1t handy to all
parts Of the same. The two box stalls
provide room for both male animals as
well as sick and ailing ones.
The hay bay is supposed to be open
clear to the roof. However, some
farmers may wish to arrange this
space different. The partition sepa-
rating the cows from the center sec
tion is boarded or plastered up tight,
except the calf pen, to separate the
cows from any odors, dust or dirt from
the other animals. The box stalls.
however, in both the cow and horse
barn are so constructed that the In.
mates may have good view Of the
other ANIMALS. They like company,
and will do better If they can see their
neighbors.
The floors Of the COW stable, the
milk room. feed room and silo are of
cement, the gutter being formed in the
floor and having a four-inch drain at
the rear leading to the manure pit.
The stalls are made to fit both long
and short cows The first stall in
front is four feet wide and five feet
long. The rear stall is three feet six
inches wide and four feet eight inches
long. The stalls then slope from
front to the rear, each stall being
slightly shorter. Stalls are now con-
structed in so many different ways
that 1t is hardly worth while to men,
ton them, every COW man having his
