sy WILLIAM A. RAoFoRO.

On all farms devoted to diversified
farming live stock is considered one
of the main money crops.
The average successful farmer de-
rives profit from many sources. He
raises grain. has a small orchard,
keeps a few dairy COWS, and raises
colts, calves and pigs. He would like
to breed some good sheep, were it
not for the night-prowling dogs OF the
neighborhood.
Farming conducted along diversified
lines requires suitable buildings to
house and properly care for the farm
live stock in winter. There is a dairy
stable where the mich cows are care
fully provided for. the work horses
have their warm, comfortable stables,
but there always is an overflow, a sort
of "riff-raff'' composed of animals OF
different ages. There is no room for
them in the regular stables, but to Sc
cure the profits they must be taken
care of and fed with intelligence.
Young stock requires some kind of
inclosed stable, where they may be
housed during severe weather. They
also require a good winter feeding
shelter for milder days. 1t pays to
stable stock in severe weather to pre-

Lotteries In ENGLAND.

money for the state have never caught

familiar grown, lotteries corrupted the
ancient virtues of John Bull, and by
the time of Queen Anne the state STEP

lottery as a public nuisance. By an
act passed in 1898 sanction was given
to a particular lottery, and that was
the last. At the same time all sale of
tickets for home or foreign lotteries
was fOrbidden.-London Times.

things that trouble can be avoided
Besides the foundation wall there
are five concrete piers supporting the
inside posts. After the shed is built
the ground is carefully graded to
drain away TO the southeast corner;
then a concrete floor is laid, which
forms a square A feet IN diameter.
This concrete barnyard floor is made
the same as a sidewalk by making
blocks feet square. First 2 by is
graded and lined up and staked into
place, feet from the cement wall.
lean mixture of cement, sand and
gravel is pounded down on the Gin
ders leaving about a quarter OF an
inch space between the top OF the
rough concrete and the top OF the 2 by
4. This quarter-inch is then surfaced
with a richer mixture and struck OF
even. The by is then moved feet,
and the process repeated. Short
pieces OF , by 4. five feet long, are used
for the cross pieces. The joints be
tween the 5 foot blocks allow for eI.
pansion and contraction, so the floor
will not crack.
After the floor is finished out to the
farthest corner, feed racks are built
on the ground close up against the
edge of the concrete. Feed is carried
TO the feed cracks by an overhead
trolley track, which may pass over
the feed racks and dump directly into
them TO save labor.
The labor problem is the most seri-
Gus difficulty that diversified farmers
have to contend with. One of the first
things to consider in laying out a
farm building is the labor OF using
the building after it is completed.
The Old-fashioned way was to attach
the feed racks to the shed posts,
which curtailed the space and caused
great deal of hand work to get the
feed into the racks. They were also
greatly in the way when removing
the manure. 1t is easy to get to the
outside OF an angle, but sometimes it
is difficult to get to the inside of a
shed with fodder enough to satisfy 9
lot of hungry animals.
Feed racks for this purpose should
be built for feeding hay and silage
and grain. This requires a rack to
hold the hay, and a low-down trough
for silage and grain. To save waste
the bottom should be made tight with
matched boards.
A gate or heavy door may be
hinged at each corner of the shed &c
fasten the cattle inside when neces
sary. If this is done, the feed racks
will form two sides of the Enclosure
