GOOD FOUNDATION FOR BARN
Concrete Makes Best Groundwork
Where Sharp Sand and Gravel 10
Obtained Cheapiy.

By R. M. DoLvE. Professor of Agricul-
ture Engineering. North Dakota Agri-
cultural College.)
Foundations often fail or settle un-
evenly not so much because they are
too light as because they are poorly
proportioned. A foundation should be
SO constructed that its size at any
point is proportional to the weight to
be carried at that point. If it is de-
signed on this plan it cannot settle un-
evenly If the soil on which it rests Is
uniform. A very common mistake Is
to make the foundation under the out
side walls unnecessarily heavy while
that under partitions, often carrying
several times the loads, are entirely
too light with the inevitable result that
the building settles unevenly. The
width of a foundation must be such as
not to exceed the safe bearing power
of the soil. The bearing power Of the
soil on the station grounds Is esti-
mated at from ~ to 3 tons to the
square foot, but barns, unless they
contain exceptionally large hay lofts,
will not exceed this weight on a foun-
dalton Of ordinary width.
At present prices concrete makes
the best barn foundations where good
sharp sand and gravel can be obtained!
cheaply. Concrete possesses the adj
vantage over brick or stone that it fits
the stills perfectly and also conform
to the bottom Of the trench instead Of
leaving cavities and openings as isI
sometimes the case with stone; it has
considerable transverse strength and
If there Is a wet or soft spot under the
foundation 1t is rigid enough to span
it if the length is not too great. A
satisfactory proportion for foundations
is one part Portland cement, two and
one-half parts sand and five and one
half parts crushed rock OF gravel.

and ten dollars is the sum received by
Plus Zueger, a thrifty farmer of the
country north of this city. for a a

average of nearly SIS per head. The

Satisfactory
The object Of blanching celery il to
secure leaf stalks free from woody
strands, crisp. and tender without the
rank favor which Is found in those
that are green. Blanching is accom-.
plished by excluding thS light from
the plant and allowing the growth to
proceed in the dark. The methods
used for blanching are quite varied
as to the conditions that have to be
met. If growing on, a small scale the
plants are often blanched by placing
boards on each side Of the row close
to the plant. which may be held to-
gether by a hook or cross board. This
method has ben found to be very salts
factory. but 1t is too expensive to be
of any commercial value. The most
common and the most general practk
cal method of blanching is that BY the
8 of earth. This method is found
to be very economical and through
this the best flavor can be obtained.
The plants should become q good size
and have a large amount of food
stored up in its 1eshy root before
blanching should commence. About
three weeks before wishing to market
your celery b%lanching should COM
mence. The first thing to be done In
starting to blanch celery by soil Is to
pull the loose soil which is found be-
tween the rows up beneath the leaves
Of the plant. This should be done
gradually, for If too much soil is used
the first time the plants will be COW
cred or broken.
More soil should be brought up as
soon as the leaves grow above it's for
mer banking. This should be con-
tinued for about two weeks, and atthe
last banking only a few of the tallest
leaves should protrude above the bank
of soil. The celery should be left
fin this position for about a week.
after which tt may be dug out and
marketed. %

though we would mucn prefer private

men we would build a park OF our
own for the benenL OF the cu14uLeu d1u

AN INTERESTING SKETCH.
Being an Account of the Trials and

ShrinerS Travelling.

There is hardly any way to estimate
just to what extent a Shriner will go
just what troubles and worries he
will endure-in order to attend a
meeting of the Mobiles of the Mystic
Shrine. With visions Of a plentiful
supply of "fresh meat" and "cameIs
nilk'-otherwise known as "zem-
ZEN" galore, he would be willing to
cross the hot sands again himself,
just for the sake of mingling with the
fezwearers.
If there is such thing as "the lin
it, for Shriner, that limit was reach
ed by two Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine
one a Newberrian and the other hail
ing from Greenwood on Thanksgiving
day, in their efforts to reach
Sumter for the Shrine festi-
vities. Their troubles began
in Columbia on Thursday morn
ing when, allowing two trains to de-
part for the gamecock city, they wait
ed for the third and last morning train
for that place and missed it by two
minutes! They were informed that
their next train would leave at 40
in the afternoon-and such program
as had been prepared by the Sumter
Shriners for the entire day! The
thought of what they we're missing was
enough to sicken the stoutest heart
