PI.A NNl.NU A HAItN.
From a paper road boforo tlio Con-
trol Farmers’ Institute of Ontario on
barns suitable for tlio average farmer
some of tlio suggestions bore given it
is thought may lie of interest, es-
pecially to faunors iu Hie Northern
slates.
The first thing a farmer should do
in building a liarn is to get up a plan
so Hint the upper slory will work in
with the lower one, and every tune
feed Is moved U will move neiror
home, llnvo it so arranged that it
will mnko It extra hard work to move
it in any other direction. For instance,
Imvo your straw-cutlor placed over
your feed-roof to) Hint the chaff will
fall down into It, mid at tlio time of
threshing have Iho straw r to move
towards tlio cuMing-box, • Jfcit have
jour meal coining down a spout from
a griudyr above driven by a windmill;
this power will drivo Hie cutting-bos
and grindstone, pump water, elevate
(he grain, etc.
Agnin, suppose your stable holds 60
head of cattle. Ilavo it eo arranged
Hist instead of feeding witli a basket,
where you .would Imve to make 26
trips, you have a food cart and do il
til in two trips witli more ease. Then,
again, havo your root collar on a level
with your stablo floor. Take your
cart and one or two trips will do in-
stead of carrying llintii in a bosket,
which is very hard work and enongh
to mako n boy think of leaving tlio
farm.
Now comes Hit cleaning out of ths
■fable with n wheelbarrow from 60
calllo fad plenty of turnips. There
is no man who would not bo glad
when lie was done; but instead of the
wheelbarrow take a flatboat and a
horse, aud in one or two loads all Hie
nianuro is out witli hut littlo hard
work.
Next have your feod-hoi-convenient
to tlio food-room, meal-spout, root-
collar and water-hose, so that the
wholo feed can bo mixed together
without taklug many steps; here I,
where much of tlio easo comes in.
Then Imvo a steamer in the summer
kitchen and convey the stonm into the
feed-box lit stable. Tills will prevent
any danger from fire noy the barns,

commonly practicable for bringing
iiack fertility to a run-down field that
many scetn to cantfder its culture iin-

a field onco moderately fertile lias

poverished, nothing better can he
done, hut Iho cultivation of clover as
one of the farm crops should not de-
pend on such ooudiiious or bo tiiidcr-
llaod as limitod to one use. It is had
fanning to allow a field l« becomo so
run down that special measures must
tie taken to rastoro fortuity of which
It has been robbed. It is far easier
and better to keep up Ilia fertility of
iho soil as you go along than it will
—4(0 to get it back again wlioro it was,
cither by manure or clover.
Nothing is rnoro Important than for
a fanner to leern to adapt Ids crops to
Hie paturo of Ida soils, and thus in
every nay possible avoid auylhing
like serious iuiproverisnmeiit. Clover
is an liidis|>cnsab!a aid and should ul.
ways be included in the rotation. It
can alto bo mndc a profitable crop on
its own account, indepeudont of its
fertilizing properties for other crops.

It is not often that An apparently use-
ful innovation in the art ot sciasor or
abeur manufacture is heard of and doubt-
Icrs for that reason we have become apt
to consider these iudiapcnisble adjuncts
to civilization as probably unimprovable
instruments. In a new kind of shears
which has been brought on the market
by an ingenious mechanician, the cutting
blades are connected by * capsule, in
which a simple lever movement on the
closing of the instrument, causes the one
blade to be drawn under by the other.
The lower cheek then Acts as a support,
and the upper cheek as a knife, which
severs the object on the support. Com-
pared with the orthodox scissor* a much
greater efficiency is claimed for the new-
form of shears,—Iron.
