Basement Barna Per Stook.
Mr. Thos. Shaw, late of the Ontario
Agricultural College, writes as follows in
the Ohio Farmer :—In traveling through a
oountry I am accustomed to measure the
advancement made in the livestock interest
by the number, the size and the character of
the basement barns that are found in R. I
have found that where basement Karns of
the right character abound, the live stock
industry is flourishing, and along with it
what may be considered high-class farming.
It has bean my observation that the con-
nection between the two is so close that
there can bo no divorce between them. In
traveling through Ohio in the summer of
1892, my attention was arrested by the in•
frequency with which basement barns met
my gaze. I regarded this feature as one of
the strongest indications of a rather oan.
guishing interest in live stock, and I think
I told your farmers so in an article written
some time after, which bore upon this sub-
ject.
With impressions suoh as those, your
readers oan imagine my surprise on taking
up The Farmer of Oob, 26th, to find an
article on back barns which spoke dopre-
atatbogly of them, and in the strongest
term. In the article whish appeared in
that issue the language was peculiarly fore.
ible. The following quotations are samples:
"Not one in ten of the batik stables ander
barns aro fit quarters for stook of any kind,
to say nothing of the harm done to feed
stored above, and we have yet to find but
very few men who have had much to do
with building ant who will (net) condemn
them." Again, " Those cellar stables (gen.
orally on the wet side of the elevation) are
too often cesspools of the darkest kind,
reeking with disease, inducing poisonous
gases, and dark as a dungeon. Situations
are rare indeed that may be kept light and
dry and pure. The wonder is that any
stock even with the strongest vitality eau
overcome the debilitating influences."
voila in 4110 live stook thereof, and yet a
vory large proportion of those animals are
roared In basement barna.
It may be a little hamiliabing to our na-
tional pride to commode that another country
than ours has a lead in live stook pro.
ciliation. Let us look at the matter calmly,
however, and not try to shut our °yea to
truth booaust it may for the time being.
prove unpalatable truth. By the losers in a
contest, the time le always we 11 spent that
is occupied in a close study of the methods
which lava made the winners successful.
Wedo well then so give mootcaroftlstudy
t
o
the question of basement barns, Tho more
oompleloly that it becomes engrafted on our
live stock methods the greater will be the
measure of the success that will follow.
Poultry Pointers.
Many poultrymen say that a hen of two
years bas done her beat service.
Scientific information on the abject of
oultry is as yet but Beauty.
Bantams find uo sale in market and their
eggs aro never sold, but they lay larger eggs
in proportion to their size than any other
breed.
Fowls that have some age on them are
made tenderer and the flesh more juioy by
being kept confined in close, clean quarters
for two or three weeks beforo being killed,
and having nothing to eat but Dorn and pure
water.
Blyda of all degrees aro equally careful
of their toilet, and domeetio fowls handled
roughly, suffer not only extreme terror ab
the moment, but discomfort and mortifica-
tion, when they have time to review their
disordered plumage.
I noticed the article was not concluded,
and naturally expected that in the closing
sentences, when they appeared, there would
be some softening or the unjustifiable
heterodox opinions which had been ad•
voncedin previous portions. But no, the
perverse views were hung up like false
finger -boards to the end. The article was
signed " Glen." I do not know to whom
that non-de•pinme refers. I hope to meet
" Olen" some day, and in the friendliest
Manner possible talk over the question of
his unorthodoxy on the bank•barn ques-
tion, but in the meantime I desire, if I can,
to smash the opinions advanced by him
with the sledge•hammer of truth, to grind
them into powder and strew thein on the
waters of some river where they may sink
into its sediment never to rise again.
These views I regard as a more dangerous
menace to Ohio than its ragweed, if they
come to be generally accepted. They would
olog the wheels of live stook improvement
so that they world drag heavily. They
must not therefore be allowed to pass un-
challenged,
" Not one in ten of the bank stables un.
dor barns are fib quarters for stock of any
kind, to eay nothing of the feed stored
above." And yet in the leading live stook
centers of Ontario it is the exception to
find a barn without a basement. Think of
it, many of the highest winners in various
live stook olaeses were reared in these
basement barna ; that Is to say, they were
wintered in them. " Young Abboteburn,"
the unconquerable Shorthorn bull, was
reared in a basement. barn. The same i0

Russell of Richmond Hill, Ont., of the

J. Rudd of Eden Mills, Ont., of the fat
stook winners of Adam Armtrong, Fergus,
Ont., and of many other animals which won
renown at the greatest fair the world ever
produced. Nearly all of the 100,000 head
of chipping steers sent annually from On-
tario to European markets are wintered in
those bank barns, and the same is true of
the cows which produced the milk that
made the cheese which carried more than
one hundred prizes from Chicago to that
country. And yet nob one bank barn in
ton, according to " Glen," furnishes fit
quarters for stook of any kind. ,
" These millers are too often coss•poois

induoing poieonoue gases and dark as a

that statement was penned in a moment of
forgetful haste. If true, it is a sad comm

Dairy Matters.
A calf that stands in a big, cold stable alt
day, bleating and pulling at a halter, is not
on the high road to tnakee flourishing heifer
or a prosperous cow.
The World's fair dairy tests necessitated
over 300 tests and analyses per day and over
318,000 entries in the record books, of the
latter oue-Half were the result of a more or
less elaborate calculation.
The dairyman can take altogether too
muoh stook in the teachings of nature and
the best and most profitable of cows are
those that have about as little to do with
nature as possible.
The ration which each animal can use to
the best advantage -will vary greatly. The
most economical individual feeding is giving
the amount best calculated tosecure the
best results.
The World's fair dairy tests disclosed
some peculiarities in the churning temper-
ature of cream. The orthodox figures were
found to be too -high at Chicago. In some
cases as low as 40 e' was found necessary at
starting. It was also found that the Jersey
cream required the highest temperature.
":he first year of a calf's life determines
to a great degree, its value as an animal
for profit. If it is permitted to run with
the cows, steers and older cattle, where it
will be jostled about and made to stand
book from the feed until lurch a time as it
oan get to take up the refuse left after the
stronger have their choice, au unprofitable,
stunted oalf will be the result.
THE BRUSSELS POST,

taken the seine care, longer time to mature,
and 00 a consequence more feed than would
have been required for the well bred ani-
mals. These facts are perfectly apparent
to any man who will take ,the trouble to
observe carefully for himself. If you have
been trying to snake a profit from samba,
or trying to fool yourself with the belief
that you oan do 00, you bad better give it
up.

frilly realized. you must now give good

growth and development, If you leave
them to shift for bhemsslveo, they will
bring you only loss and disappointment.
Do you fully understand the value of good
oornfodder, and do you mot up to your
knowledge in feeding your stook ? ft is a
fact that the good eornfoddee, out up, will
be eaten as clean and more completely di-
gested than the beat of timothy ; and so
muoh more can be grown upon an acre, and
it is consequently so much °hoaper to pro -
dune, that itis folly not to use it.
There is not much question but that the
spring pigs make the cheapest pork, but
fall pigs are the heat of breeders, if you
mast tam pigs less than one year old for
that purpose, and it is well to remember
that when a pig is a good breeder for one
year he will be just as good for five or six
years more. The morel of this is that
when you have a good one,—keep it.

portance of studying the cows. It greases
the pedigree and does more for breeders

Farm Notes.
The hog will do well in the straw stook.
Keep the dog out of the oow pasture.
None but a well trained collie should be al-
lowed about the °attics,
Blanket your horses early and it will give
them a short, sleek coat.
The New Hampshire experiment farm
finds that milk from the best cows costa It
centsa quart, from their poorest, 4i cents,
as it costs just as much to feed the smallest
producer.
The ranges are sending more and poorer
cattle to the market than a year ago. This
indicates that the ranch is declining in
meat•making ability, and that close times
for money compelled sales.
Good .feet are the foundation, in more
than one sense, of a good horse. In fact, a
good horse can no more stand on bad feet
than a good house oan stand on a bad foun-
dation. Soo that your animal is sound,
from the ground up.
We have not any surplus of prime beef
or prime pork or prime mutton, even if we
have of wheat, as some appear do think ;
then it, seems a rational proposition that we
should turn some of this wheat into meat,
and so equalize matters. Some farmers are
already doing this with good results,
Regular feeding of all the stock is one of
the important things in careful and profi-
table management. The hog will toll you
plainly if you have passed his dinner hour,
but some of the other animals, which make
less fuse, perhaps, notice the neglect just as
muoh.
The stallion should have replier exercise,
to develop health, vigor and good repro-
duobive powers. Not one•half of them get
the exercise they should have. The mores,
too, will breed better if (sept regularly at
farm work than if allowed to get fob and
lazy.
If you have a half dozen good brooding
sows, and are in the business of hog raising
to stay, you should also keep a boar, and a
good one. The time and trouble of borrow..
mg mit about as math as the expense of
keeping him,, and itis not often that the
best one can be borrowed.

TWO HUNDRED INDIANS

A Quebec special nye :—A private letter

ot the Geological Survey of Canada, who

conveys the startling intelligence that
some 200 Nasoapee and Montagnais In-
dians were starved to death last winter
in Northern Labrador. It is not known
definitely how the letter came from Un -
cava bay. Ib was received at Lake St.
John by Mr. Cummins, who has sent ex-
tracts only from it t0 a friend in town.
It is probable that it came via England,
however, and reaohed there by the Hud.
son bay vessel. that annually plies to Un-
gava bay and Hudson. sbroibs. The expe-
dition headed by Mr. Low reached Ungava
at the end of August, after an exceedingly
perilous and difficult journey through
the interior of Labrador, which lasted
about two months. They expected to
winter at Port Chimo, situated on the
Rokeoak river which flows into Ungava
bay, but were compelled to push on to
Esquimaux bay in consequence of a short.
age of eupplies at Fort Chime. This is
attributed to the distress in which the
Indians were found last tvinter, the officials
oleiming to have distributed to such of them
as reached the fort alive hilly two years'
stook of the fort's provisions.
Next spring, in order to resume their
explorations, Messrs. Low and Eaton will
have to retreat their stops to Ungava. The

This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced
into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great
South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as li curative
agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians,
who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge• of the
general public.
This medicine has completely solv,.3 the problem of the cure of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is!,
also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from
whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities
which it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive
organs, the stomach, tho liver and the bowels, No remedy compares
with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength•
ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a
broken-down constitution, It is also of more real permanent value in
the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption.
.eacedy ever used on this continent, It is a marvelous cure for 'nerv-
ousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical
period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine
Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. 15 will

HARRIET E. HALL. of Waynctowa, TOB•, eaye:
owe my lite to the Great South American
Service. I had been In bed for five months from
the effects of an exhausted stomach, Indigestion,
Nervous Prostration, and a general shattered
condition of my whole system. Had given up
all hopes of getting well. Iiad tried three doc-
tors, with no relief. The first bottle of the Nerv-
ine Tonic lmproved meso much that Iwee ableto
Walk about, and a few bottles cured me entirely.
I believe it Is the best medicine In the world. I
Mrs. ELLA A, IMATTO0, of New Roes, Indiana:;
says: "T cannot express how much I owe to the
Nervine Tonle. My system was completely anat.
tared, appetite gone, was coughing and spitting
up blood; am sure I was in the fleet stagea
of consumption, an Inheritance handed down
through several generations. I began taking
the Nervine Tonle, and contlnded its use for
about six months, and ant entirely cured. It
Is the grandest remedy for nerves, stomach and
tan not recommend It too highly." lunge I have ever seen.

As a euro for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and mos
delicate individual. Nino -tenths of all the ailments to which the hums
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges
tiOa. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, s
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is th
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when sho
right kine( of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailment'
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply al
the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is th
first to suffer for want of porfeot nutrition. Ordinary food does not con
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repel
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to :contain th
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This acdount
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of norvotts d,
rangement.
