BARN PLANS.
They Give Plenty of Room Above
and a Free Center For Hny Sling,
A drawing of a bam which he calls a
skyscraper," one that will stand and
with nothing whatever to interfere in
any way from the barn floor to within
a few feet of the comb, is sent to the
Ohio Farmer by a correspondent, who
says: If you nse a 20 foot studding,
you will bave about 88 feet of space.
In building a barn of this kind I
would advise using heavy lumber for
the understory, say 2 by 8. The rafters

need not be any heavier than 2 by 6,
for as both sets, upper and lower, are
'of the same length and the lower set be
ing placed at an angle of 45 degrees and
'.well spiked to both plates the weight
on their middle is not nearly so great
as when placed at a lesser angle. And
the npper set placed at an eight or nine
inch pitch With a truss, as shown at
A, Fig. l,.and these tied together by a
1 by 6 or 1 by 8, is sufficiently strong to
resist the pressnre from above. And th$
long brace running from the end of the
short collar beam to the heel of the
rafter and there being notched over the
plate and spiked to both the rafter and
purline plate, will prevent the barn
from spreading from the outward thrust
of the roof, for the weight is pulling
from the opposite side of the roof if
there is any pulling at all. I firmly be
lieve by this means of bracing it is al
most an impossibility for the barn roof
to give down or the barn to pull apart
The rafters just over the purlines of the
lower set are tied so as to prevent it
from giving way. Thus the roof, itself
is a support to the sides of the build
ing. And as the purline posts are set in
such a position the weight of the entire
upper portion of the roof rests upon the
ground sills. They are so constructed to
rest upon a block of 2 by 8, set between
two of the lower set of studding and
passing up between the cross sills and
having a shoulder resting upon the
same above at B.
Any carpenter can build a barn from
this drawing, and after it is completed
the owner cannot help but be pleased,
for he has an abundance of room to
store aU his crop in one place. The
truss of tbe upper tier of rafters need
not be under each of them. If the space
between the spans be equally divided,
into three spaces, it would
and then on each set of rafters not hav
ing a truss I would place a collar beam
so the lower edge would come on a
level with the cross of the truss braces
and then nail a 1 by 8 perpendicularly
from the comb to the collar beam. This
gives a good chance to fasten the hang
ers for a track or any kind of hay sling.
Another correspondent of the journal
already mentioned sends a sketch (Fig.
2) of a middle bent showing a self sup
porting roof and post braces instead of
pnrlines: At A A, in barn rafters, you
will see the joints are re-enforced by
inch boards nailed on each side ; also at
B B are boards nailed on each side,
and at A a piece of 2 by 4 is cut in be
tween the boards and under the rafters.
As the rafters will be two inches thick
and in width according to the size of
barn, up to 20 feet, 2 by 4 is heavy
enough. But if the barn is 40 or 50 feet
wide, 2 by 6 should be used. I always
put rafters two feet to centers. I pre

CAÜLIFLOWpR CULTURE.
How to Hake It Pay—First SowtRSC
ot Seed In Hotbed In March.
There is a good profit in growing
cauliflowers for market if the conditions
are all right, bnt with the culture often
giwsn them, they are not a reliable
crop. In growing cauliflowers for sale,
the first thing to be considered is a
market'for these luxuries. The crop is
not a staple one, like some which àre
considèred necessaries of' life, and you
must find people who want them and
are able to buy them. In most large vil
lages there is a sufficient number of peo
ple who want them to make a market
for a few thousand heads. In some sea
sons, and at some times in the year,
there is a good profit in growing them
to ship to dealers in the cities, bnt the
most money is made by retailing them
•in villages where no one is growing
them and there is no competition.
It is not best to economize too much
in purchasing seeds. The higher priced
strains of white cauliflowers, where the
type has become established by careful
selection for several years, are more re
liable in beading, and the whiter the
heads the better they will sell in the
market The large pure white Wads
with the leaves trimmed nicely around
them attract the eye, and people buy
them because they "look nice.
Early Snowball is the standard with
many people and probably more exten
sively grown than any other variety
and is usually very satisfactory. I make
the first sowing of the seed in a hotbed
in March. A little later I sow more
seeds in a cold frame, and sow at differ
ent times in the open ground from
April until June. My plan is to have
only a small part of the crop mature at
one time, for the leaves will soon grow
through the heads if they are not mar
keted at the right time.
A deep, moist clay soil is the best
for cauliflowers, although good crops
can be grown on any good garden soil
I cover the ground two or three inches
deep with stable manure and plow it
in. Then harrow and furrow two and
one-half feet apart. If I have well rot
ted manure, I scatter it in the furrow
and mix it with the soil with the cul
tivator, or, if the manure is not at
hand, I set the plants and in a few days
apply around them a little commercial
fertilizer that is rich in nitrogen. Vege
tables of which the leaves or stalks are
the edible parts need plenty of nitrogen
in an available form. The plants are
transplanted at different times from
May nntil Jnne. Cauliflower plants
from the hotbed should not be set too
early nnless they are well hardened, for
they are more easily injured by frosts
than cabbage.
In addition to the foregoing sugges
tions given in Vick's Magazine the writ
er says that to insure success one must
have some means of irrigation. The
plants should not stop growing at any
time ; hence the importance of irrigat
ing them during a drought

bored in the center, on the bolt, then
put on nut. When the door is being

screw up the nut. No injury will result

Shallow Covering ot Manure.
Farmyard manure should be kept as
near tbe surface of the soil as possibla
The rainwater as it percolates through
the soil has a tendency to carry the
soluble plant food downward and out of
the reach of planta Consequently an
attempt should be made to delay the
downward progress of plant food instead
of assisting it by plowing the manure
in deeply. Then again, nitrification is
most active near the surface of the soil.
Therefore, manure kept near the surface
is under more favorable conditions for
having its plant food made available
and consequently gives quicker returns.
When a heavy application of manure
has been plowed under deeply, it is no
uncommon thing to see lumps of ma
nure brought to the surface by subse
quent plowing, showing that it had
never become properly incorporated
with the soil. It is quite probable, too,
that this deeply buried manure has lost
considerable nitrogen through denitri
fication. Economical manuring consists
in obtaining quick returns over as large
an area of the farm as possible, and this
is accomplished by moderate applica
tions incorporated with the surface soil
Shallow covering of manure also in
creases the humus of the surface soil.
As a result, the soil does not bake and
crack in dry weather. It absorbs and
retains water much more satisfactorily
and works up into a fine tilth more ■
easily.—New England Homestead.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Topic For-thé Week Beginning March
26—Comment by Rev. J. H. Doyle.
Topic.—T rue penitence.— H Cor. vil, 1-1L
In his first epistle to the Corinthians
Paul severely rebuked the church for
certain serious evils which existed in
the church—schism, idolatry, gross sen
suality and abuse of the Lord's supper.
The rebuke, though severe, was admin
istered from the purest motive and with
the tenderest affection, and therefore
produced a salutary effect It. lad to »
godly repentance, the ultimate end of
which was salvation.
In describing the effects of this re
proof Paul gives a comprehensive de
scription of what true penitence or re
pentance is.
1. True penitence is preceded and
caused by conviction of sin. We will
never repent of our sins until we are
convinced that we are sinners. David
did not repent until Nathan pointed out
to him his sin. Simon Peter did not go
out and weep tears of repentance until
the look of Christ brought to his mind
a conception of the baseness of his
treachery. The Corinthians did not re
pent until Paul's scathing rebuke
made them to see their actions in their
true light. The sins of men and the
true character of sin need to be pointed
out' more persistently today, that men
may be led to repentance. Salvation
without repentance is impossible, and
repentance is impossible without con
viction of sin.
2. The characteristics of true peni
tence are: 1. Godly sorrow. Godly sor
row is here distinguished from the sor
row which the world feels because of
sin. Godly sorrow is the sorrow that
God feels because of sin as He looks
upqp it with His pure and holy charac
ter. The guilt and the pollution of sin
are abhorrent to God. Only the conse
quences of sin are abhorrent to the
world. The unregenerate, unrepentant
man fears the consequences of sin ; the
repentant man loathes sin because it
is transgression against a loving God
and Father, and he sorrows above every
thing else because he has done that
which grieves God. This is godly sor
row. 2. Renunciation of sin. To repent
we must turn from sin, as the Corin
thians did, with earnestness, loathing,
indignation and vehement desire to
serve and glorify God. We must "cease
to do çvil and learn to doweU." We
anust give up sin and take up God and
God's work in the world.
8. The ultimate end of true penitence
was salvation. "Godly sorrow worketh
repentance to salvation not to be re
potted of. " The only pathway to salva
tion and eternal life is that of repent
ance of sin and faith in Christ.

Be Cheery.
Why should a person make himself a
nuisance ? What gain is there in grim
ness and sonrness and nnaociability l
Few people care to listen to whining
and complaint. On the whole, the
world uses us as well as we deserve. It
is very hard for the defeated to admit
this, but it is a fact nevertheless, and
if only admitted one of the chief rea;
sons for defeat is removed. A cheerful
philosopher is an important element of
success. He who is perpetually suspect
ing others of ill treating him and keep
ing him down is not a welcome com
panion. Every man is of less impor
tance to the world around him than he
likes to think. Bnt he can easily test it
by asking how much he himself dwells
upon the condition of others. By as
much as their grievances do not, partic
ularly concern him by so much his own
are matters of indifference to them. So
let him be pleasant, bury his sorrows,
pocket his affronts, make himself agree
able, trust to Providence and thankful
ly take what comes.—Zion's Herald.
Had to Take Them In.
Many years ago a German family, ap
plied for admission to the church in
Hartford of which Dr. Joel Hawes was
the pastor. Through an interpreter Dr.
Hawes propounded to .them elaborate
questions concerning the atonement
They looked perplexed and shook theii
heads. As the questions were repeated
in changed forms their faces grew stolid.
Evidently they had given up trying to
comprehend the subject At last Dr.
Hawes said impatiently, "Well, well,
ask them if they love Christ." Tbe
question was put. At once their face«
lighted. Their eyes grew moist They
answered in chorus, "Oh, ja I Wir
Christus lieben. Ja wohl 1" And the
doctor's eyes glistened also as he said,
"We shall have to take them in."—
