GROUND PLAN OF BARN, passage marked X, from either end of the barn, through doors at G. The ' shutters to tho vow stalls (A) open back in this passage, as - shown at H. One can go from the driveway to the long passage (X), (lirougli the doors (I, 1), and the cross passage. The manure sheds are full longt h id’ the barn, as indkmted by the doited lines, Fig. 2. The .roofs to these sheds- are made in sections, and are hinged to the wall of the barn so they can he raised up, aa indicated by the broken circular lines, Fig. 1. An opening of about 18 inches is left bust tinder the roof of the manure shed, the full length of the barn, marked J, J, Fig. 1. to throw the manure through when cleaning stalls. The stairs are hinged to the loft and can be raised up out of the way with a pulley and rope attached, when it is necessary to drive through.' If you contemplate the erect in .{of a cow barn it will pay you to study t Ids plan, for I assure yon it is a good one for Georgia, and can be adopted to suit any section.—R. W. J. Stewart, in Old!) Farmer. HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN. If you have found an honest commission house slick to it. Borne cows do not like some milkers, and it is unwise to have them milked by such persons. Unless it is an extraordinary good cow, an habitual kicker is too much of a nuisance to fool with. ft took a long time to stop the fraudulent sale of oleomargarine, but the law has triumphed at last. Never trust, (he milking of a heifer to anv one who 'has not a good stock of pa lienee and judgment. Lack of either may ruin the cow. The farmer is foolish ever to buy cod liver oil. Cream and butter answer the purposes, medicinal and for nourishment —nmeli bet ter. Sore teats oan often be cured by vaseline. which is one of the simplest and best remedies we, have for ordinary sores. So is the extract of witch hazel. —•Western Plowman. Tine of Dairy Heifers. The young dairy heifer ought to be as well fed and eared for as the milk cow* because her future usefulness depends on her condition prior to her fa’st pregnancy. She does not need food either for milk production nor for fat, but ought to be kept in strong, growing condition by food I hat makes bone and muscular tissue and gives vigor of constitution. The heifer should have a more active life than the cow kept for milk, but requires just as much care in feeding and just as sufficient shelter from inclement weather, Prairie Farmer. The Cheese Curlnjr-Koom. In regard to cheese making n. writer says: "The great need to-dayisamore perfect curing-room, where the cheese | can be held at a lower temperature to ft cure ami obtain.slower maturing, and I holding ail r " cheeseroom in ■ cheek by (la ~ • aaliuespray. All this means a saving in weight and improvement in flavor, which results more money, which is what we are after.” . ...

AKNO . w 6i., Italv’s art treasures apart fro buildings are valued at £8,200,000. George Hitchcock, the artist, though now living handsomely on the proceeds of his art in Holland, once n: a livkig by running a small bric-a-bi... shop in Chicago. Princess Louise has just completed the statue of Queen Victoria whi* she undertook some time ago to f - ouie, for the Manchester catb.wj The result is said to be most satis " tory. Gustav Korn, a New York brushmaker, has made a life-size portrait of George Washington in bristles o« various colors, taking Stuart k celebrated painting for a model. The bristle picture is said to be qvnw a work of art. It is on exhibition m the

window of a Pearl street store. Miss Ellen Terry the other day objected to the number of her photographs in various characters scattered throughout the house of a friend.- “Why, it’s embarrassing, she said. “Here-1 am weeping m your bedroom, mad in your dining-room and dying three different ways m your drawing-room.” M. Daumet, of the French Institute, and a number of other French architects have petitioned the senate against any interference with religious orders, on the ground rr’a many of their buildings are the glory of France, ami that they are likely to continue furnishing employment to the building trade. ECHOES FROM THE BIG TOWNS In London 37,000 girls attend cook-ing-classes. Fov.t r people proportionately keep their own carriages in Paris than >u London. The board of health of the city of Galveston is arranging for a large supply of oil from the Beaumont wells to be. used in fighting mosquitoes. Twenty-nine per cent, of England s population live in cities of over 100,000. In the United States the proportion is U) per cent.; in Germany, 17; in Trance, 12; Austria, s, and Uussia', 5. In all big cities there are multitudes of folk who work in the night time. In London fully 100,000 inhabitants earn their bread by the sweat of their brows between sunset and sunrise.A dime-musetun “fire eater”inNew York tried to vary his programme by inhaling gas, lighting his breath, and furnishing heat to cook griddle-cakes. He collapsed from the effects of the gas. A runaway horse in Denver the other day finished his flight by landing in the interior of a rapidly moving trolley ear, where he rode for nearly a block before the vehicle could he stopped. ■' DICTATES OF DAME FASHION, A very quaint fashion is the revival of the paletot, it being most popular in black taffeta. it makes a pretty, light and inexpensive summer wrap, much beruehed and trimmed. There is such a lot in color, and few women know how to make the most of it. Black is either very becoming or quite the reverse, though on the whole it is smart, especially for evening wear. Women have recently been wearing China silk skirts with their light clinging gowns, and some of these go in with the lingerie. Nainsook, however, is the material of all others for the finest of petticoats. Some of the newest French sleeve models show the most approved forms of the elbow styles arranged in every sort of diiaiut and fanciful form, and also The pretty coat shapes with a picturesque finish at the top and about the wrists, the wrinkled niousquetaire forms, and the graceful bell styles with dainty nndersleeves of gathered mull, batiste, net or chiffon. RELATING TO ANIMALS. Bees eat 20 pound* of honey ki making one pound of wax. The common wasp will destroy 80 to 120 flies a day. There are about 7,000,000 cats in the United Kingdom. The flounder lavs 7,000,000 aggi a year, the turbot 12,000,(K>0. It is estimated that one crow will destroy 700,000 insects every year. The temperature of a live oyster is 82 degrees; that of a man, 99 degrees. A camel oan carry 408 pounds weight 40 miles a day, and work from the age of five to thirty years. An ox cannot carry more than 200 pounds on his back, nor travel over 24 miles a day. It is said that there were at least 200,000 mustangs scattered over the plains of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas ten years ago and that now nearly all of them are gone. A few were caught and kept by the Indians in their reservations, but the wild horse, in his natural state, is practically extinct. SCIENTIFIC NOTES. Typhoid fever deaths have fallen in London from 374 deaths per million in 1871 to 156 per million at present. The chronoscope will register the velocity of a bullet 16 times in 100 feet, li registers the millionthsof seconds. Of 1,000 unvaceinated children, 360 were found to be pitted with cnallpox. Out of 1,000 vaccinated only two were found so marked. pi tv, raw eggs and boiled Venison are the easiest things to digest. At the other end of the scale are pork, cabbage and hard-boiled egg s*. which take four hours to digest. ' In a cubic yard of air in a London suburb 20,000 dust particles have been measured. ■ Netyr Charing Cross there are usually 500,000; but there is onlyone microbe in 38,000,000 of such dust atoms.
