It stands on a stone under pinning laid up solid with mortar. Each story is divided into two rooms, oe 16x16 feet, the other 8x16 feet. The lower floor is of elay and is raised 8 inmees higher than the level of the ground outside. This insures its per Seet dryness and in fact it is dusty every day in the year. The 16x16 room below is the roosting, laying and feed ing room. When the ground is not frozen they are fed outside. The 8x16 room is the sitting-room or hatchery. It is often used for other purposes. For instance as soon as cold weather came, we put in three stolen broods about. a quarter gown. It was a nice place for them and they were better separat ed from the rest. The outside door of this sitting-room opens into a yard. 15x84 feet, closed by pickets. So when a few cockereis are kept ever to be slaughtered for the table, the hatch ing-room and yard make a convenient place for them. The upper floor is divided into the same sized rooms as those below. The large one is used in winter for what might be called a calisthenic gallery or exercising room. An inch or more of sawdust covers the floor. If tailings" are fed. some are scattered on the sawdust. Ear corn is usually kept on the floor all the time for the hens to pick at. They seem to enjoy themselves scratching in the sawdust. During summer the hens use it more or less to lay in, a few loose boxes with nest eggs being placed around the sides. The 8x16 room above is used as a storeroom and in winter Is a good place to jail broody hens. In summer a rectangular coop twelve feet long' and three feet wide is used for FEEOROR AN EXCELLENT CHICKEN HOUSE. (. Ground Plan. 3 . nd Section. Elevatlon with yard attached shown in the upper part of Illustration 1 this purpose. The roosts in the lower 16x16 are placed over a sloping plant. form ten feet wide and fourteen long. A partition which reaches from the floor to the platform divides the living room into two equal parts. Under this platform is situated the laying-room, furnished with fixed nests. The light only reaches this from the open entrance from the feeding-room. An abundance of dust is kept stored in the laying-room and is used all times of the year to scatter under the roosts and prevent decay and bad smell of the droppings. There is a special box of ashes placed in a sunny corner where the hens can dust themselves at pleas ure. There are absolutely no lice in my chicken-house, and the1pti;; themselves free fr y lice by dust ing. 1=-.tieris there any leg scale dis ease among my fowls, nor have they ever had cholera. My argument in brief is a perfectly dry dirtfloor, plen ty of room and plenty of dust. I never set hens until June and want the chick ens hatched in July. Hot weather is just the thing for them. At five months old the pullets are laying and continue to hay throughout the winter. The profit is in the eggs. TIMELY SUGGESTIONS. slow Roads Can Ite .!ade Good In a Few Years. Good roads can be made in the fol lowing manner: (Irade themn to about two feet in the center; cut a ditch on each side of road: put tile in it large enough to carry water from same: cut your ditch not over two feet deep; have a good outlet for your tile and your toad will be dry. Now haul sand. gravel or crushed stone, whichever is the nearest to Vyour road. Haul two loads on top of each other. Leave half of road bare so people can drive on it when weather is dry. WVhere there is sand or gravel within five miles of the road it can be put on at small expense. Four mills on every dollar of valuation for five years will pay for it, or twenty mils in all: four mills on the dollar the farmer would not feel very much, and in five year-s he would have all good roads. i~,t every landowner or taxpayer haul at the rate of 81.50 a day for team and driver in stilmmer and autumn., when the roads are dry, say three weeks and three loads a day. and tin fi.e years all roads will be gtood. Let those who hIave no teams pay for their hauling.--C. L. riinazer, in Farm, Field and Fireside. AMONG THE POULTRY. PoULTRY should have plenty of grit They cannot grind their food without it. W1HEN fattening fowl~ do not let them run with the fo-ls that are not fattening. KEErP the hens warm at nic-ht, if you wish them to lay, and do not crowd them. ONCE in awhile s:r a spoonful of sulphur into the feed. It tones up the systenm. Ir the hens show a disposition to get too fat, with proper feeding, fatten them to the full exte..t and eat or mar hket them. As exchange says that charcoal is a good fattening food for turkeys. Itt is good only because it helps digee:.0n and ansorbs the gases. Charcos, is first-rate for fowls, hut in itself it hItas no fattening pre-petrties. -. Farmer's Voice. COaJe 'Petrelem on Roost.. Crude petroleum should be applied to the roosts occasionally, in order to guard against lice. Dnuring the few warm days that are litable to occur in winter, with the animral heat of the bodies of the hens, the house will sometimes be varm enough to enable lice to work. Kerosene is irritating to Ute feet of the fowls, and for that reason we suggest the use of crude pe troleman instead This ·s: Ssx feet and 2s feet to the aqaere. The wall ,is from 1 to s feet above the surface- oitside. The stables are on each end, and run erosswise of the -buidin&. The cow stable is 15 feet wide, 836 feet long and " eet high, di vided into stalls 8 feet 9 inches wide, and a box stall 9 feet 8 inches wide. The stalls are just long enough to keep the animals' heads apart. The cattle are fastened with chains around the neck. Weo feed them from the barn foor; the grain and mill feed being fed through doors, xl3 feet nearthe floor, directly into the trough which runs the whole length of the stable (except a door at each end of cow stable to per mit passage between stable and barn floor). The trough is partitioned off opposite each stall. We feed the hay and fodder in a rack directly over the trough, the small holes at the bottom having slide doors and the opening to the rack falling doors, so the stable can be closed entirely in front. The floor is first filled with dirt 8 or 10 inches deep and then with stone and gravel, 8 inches deep, well tamped. LABsE FARM BARN. The manure gutter is 16 inches wide, 6 inches deep at one end, and 8 inches at the other end, with a conducting spout runfitng to the manure pile, where the liquid manure can be run into a reser voir if needed. The gutter is covered with strips c strong timber 1xl; inch es, and placed 1l inches apart. They are made into doors opposite each stall so that they can be raised up to be cleaned. There is also a board, 10 inches wide, nailed on the side of the gutter, under the hind feet of the ani mals, thus making the gutter, or drain. age rather, really 26 inches wide. This kind of gutter has many advantages over the open drain. The cows are kept as clean as possible, we think; and there is no danger of a cow, heavy with calf, being injured by stepping backward into the ditch. The ditch receives all the water and a great deal of the manure, which is tramped through; and it can be cleaned out every other day. . The horse stable is 17 feet wide and S36 feet long and 8 feet high, di vided into five 5-foot stalls and one box stall. The floor is graded so as to slope back behind the middle of the stall into a shallow gutter. They are all fed from the barn floor. Tie barn floor is 18 feet wide, 36 feet long, and 14 feet high to loft. It is laid double; the floors overhead are single. There is a platform 8 feet high running across the rear end of the floor. Under this platform at one end is the cistern; at the other end are the stairs to the loft. Under the middle of the platform is a door 10 feet wide to drive out at, and on top of the platform is another door lo feet wide for putting the straw out of the barn. The machine drops the straw on this plat form and it can either be put out or into the mow. The stock can all be fed and- -'tered from the barn floors. The stables can all be cleaned with out wakt Llhl rpy.t.- -01b o6ee EanW ling the manure with the fork. You can hitch and unhitch your horses on the barn floor and take them directly into the stable. The doors into the stable, one on each corner of the barn, are all hung so as to open inside, thus preven ling wind from breaking them. The stock can be turned out to the straw stack behind the barn on nice days and watered from a trough which is filled from the cistern inside. No floors to rot; no rats to bother; every thing handy.

It seems poor economy for farmers to attempt to pose as breeders and es tablish a herd of thoroughbreds on the simple !knowledge of how to feed hogs for mnarket, yet hundreds of men are doing it annually. As a rule, unless they ar men who have that spirit in them that will not submit to a failure, they generally retire from the business the second year. To become a breeder means more now than it did years ago. says the Swine BIreeder. The business has advanced, it is out of sight of the time in which the owner ship of a pig sired by a prize winner signified the breeding of fine stock. 'T'o do this a knowledge of the entire science is necessary. One nmust know pedigree, the standard, feeding and management, and these he must know, not a.s his forefathers, but fully up to the advanced knowledgec of the active men of to-day. The signs of the time in everything point towards a record. In the breeding ring as in the speed ring, to be a success one must have a record and that record must mark high. The best records in the speed ring are made in front ofthe pnea matic sulkies. The best records In tihe bre'ding ring are made by those who employ every means to obtain knowl edge: no one can to-day make mnch progress in the science of breed unless he takes advantage of all means that are now offered for studySng the busi ness and acquiring the work of the past years, and upon that foundation build up a business that will be in har mony with the standard and progress of the times. Economy in Feeding. When dairymen feed for quantity and quality they will Lget better re turns from sales than when they try to economize the feed and let the result be what it may. It is the profit of each dollar's worth of feed that a dairy cow makes, and the more feed we can get her to eat the more pront we get. The liberal feeder, who looks to tbhe cormfort of his cows. that they are wsll sheltered andl well watel'ed, is sure Io procure liberal returns for all thle care lie osa Istow unon them.

A RoriosITION has been made to con nect Scotland and Ireland by a tunnel under the north channel of the Irish sea at its narrowest par, between County Antrim in Ireland and Wigton in Scotland. The length of the tunnel would be twenty-seven miles, and eminent engineers have pronounced the project entirely feasible. OUR AMERICAN MILITARY.

PHILADELPHIA has inmore miles of sur face street railways than any other city in the world. THE railroad grade crossings in AMas sachusetts are fast being abolished. For fifty-two consecutive miles on the Boston & Albany read there is not one. This has been brought about by the combined compulsion and assistance of the state. TWENTY-EIGHT railways were sold under foreclosure dluring 189^, having mileage aggregating'1,9l22 miles and an apparent capitalization of $95,898,000. )During last year thirty-six companies having 10,508 miles of road and repre senting a capitalization of nearly 1358, 000.000, have defaulted and been placed in the handsof receivers.

Full trains re quire four widths of silk. which are gathered to the belt, or nowadays, the two center ones often are extentldedl to the top of the low neck, whence they fall in Watteau plaits orgathers.
