THE HURON EXPOSITOR. -- - ---- --------- ------ --- '''''' ' Barns that were constructed years ago always had a ladder permanently affixed to - thin tio that the top of the beam could be readily reached from the floor. But the ladder was in the mid- dle of the barn, and now that the modern threshing machine is used it is always in the way. In many improved barns of to- day there is no per- manent ladder, and access to and from the mow is had by a Portable ladder that 71°. I. LOCATION FOR is liable to, and does, PERMANENT often slip, endanger- ing the life and limbs of the workman. A permanent ladder may be securely spiked to the beam, floor and rafters at about the point indicated in Fig. L Thus located, it does not interfere with the use of the horse hayfork, and is not in the way at threshing time; b indi- cates the location of the ladder in the cen- ter of the barn. Make the ride and rungs ot good, sound material, so they will easily support the weight of a heavy man. In Fig. 2 is shown the method of making a. ladder. The bottom, top and middle rung of a ladder should have their ends fitted into a mortise and se- cured by a wooden pin, as shown at e. rte.. 2. acsassnEn OF This prevents spread- CONSTRUCTING ing and consequent LADDERS. loosening of the rungs. A very strong lad- der is made with square rungs, the ends fitted into the side of uprights, seen. at h. They should fit closely and be firmly nailed in rpositien. Many prefer this to the com- mon ladder. Every farmer should be equipped with a portable ladder long enough to reach the roof of the highest building on the premises. Keep it under shelter and convenient for instant use in case of fire. The beat place for this is under the project- ing eaves of some low building, where it is readily accessible, protected against rain , and sun, and not in the way of men or teams. THE TRAVELLING DAIRY. The Successful Experiment to be Con- tinued This Year. As the travelling dairy experiment proved so successful last year, and of so much practical value, Hon. Mr. Dryden decided to ask the Legislature for an in- creased appropriation so that it could be continued for another year. This appro- priation was voted during the last session in March. It was, however, deemed expe- dient to make a few changes in the pro- posed work. First, owing to the hundreds of applications sent in, it was found neces- sary to fit out two separate deputations, one to go east. the other west. Second, owing to the difficult -y of arranging meet- ings satisfactorily, So that proper connec- tions could be made on the trains, and aIso owing to the expense incurred in reaching those points which the rafivea,y did not touch, it was thought advisable to purchase two teams and waggons, so that the differ- ent counties coulcl be covered, thoroughly independent ot trains or livery rigs. With tleese changes the arrangements are practi- cally the same as last year. The meetings are arranged by President Mills and the secretaries of the different farmers' insti- tutes-. It is thought by some that the influence of the travelling dairy, or dairies, as they now are, will hinder the advancement of creameries and cheese factories in the Prov- ince, but this is not so. It was not Mr. Dryden's intention when he first started the dairy that it should in any way compete with the creameries or cheese factories. He de- siredrather that they should be fosteredand upheld by every means possible, for to de- velop a large and profitable export trade in dairy -products he realized that the factory system would have to be adopted ia butter making, as it has been adopted to a large extent in cheese making. One great object of this travelling dairv is to aid butter makers to lessen the cost of production and to improve the quality of the product made in private denim the output of which finds its way to the local markets, and, being very often of poor quality, does not satisfy the palate or the consumer, and hence brings a poor price. These private dairies are often so located that they are not within reach of factories, or at any rate a certain amount of butter is made, and will be made until winter dairing is adopted before the factory opens and after it closes. But this is not the only object; perhaps a greeter one is to improve the general condition of the dairy cow in the Province, to discuss the breeds of dairy cattle, the best way to breed and feed so as to produce the most profit- able herd, and to talk over dairy farming in all its different phases. In this way the interests of the factories will be increased, not diminished. Already President Mille has arranged to hold from fifteen Co twenty-five meetings in the various counties of Ontario. Five meetings will be held per week. One depu- tation is in charge of W. J. Palmer, BS. A. Mr. Palmer, a graduate of the agricultural college, assieted Prof. Dean last year in his travelling dairy Work. He has lately been attending the famous dairy school at Madi- son, Wisconsin, and visiting some of the large "centrifugal" creameriesin Illinois. He is a.ssisted by Mr. John McTavish, of Seaforth, who has had a long experience in practical butter making. During the last three years he has managed the Londesboro' creamery, owned by Mr. John Hannah, of Seaforth. This deputation started from Gananoque, in Leeds County, on May '2,nd, with a team and complete outfit. When the meetings in one county are concluded another will be taken. The second deputation is in charge of T. B. Lin -field, 11 5. A. Mr. Linfield is also a graduate of the agriculiural college. He attended the Madison Dairy School during the latter part of the 'winter, and has late- ly been werkingin Prof. Robertson's experi- mental creamery near Woodstock. He is assisted by Mr. James Hume, of Ayton, butter maker who has had a large experi- ence in practical work. This deputation started in \Ventworth Comity with a simi- lar outfit. Their first meeting was held at Free11011 UR Wednesday, May 4th. With the exception of the teams and waggons the outfit is nearly similar to that of last year, consisting of an eight - bottle Baleiock milk tester, a No. 3 Daisy churn, a lever butter worker, cream can, milk setting cans, Lhernionietexs_ and other utensils necessary to make good butter. About three gallons of cream and some ice will be required at each meet hie. These are arranged far ahead, and are eupplied by some person near at hand, who, after the meeting is over, gets the butter in return for his cream. There is no excuse now for the farmer who keeps in the old rut of 30 or 40 years age. he man who is alive and eager to grasp every opportunity to gain knowledge bearing on agriculture, even supposing he may know all about his business, is the man Who will eet on. But not only the farmer DUD tne storekeeper, the cheese iactory man, the creamery man, all are interested and all should attend. ROAD MAKING. A, Terrible 'Magazine Indictment Against C. S. Farmers. A writer in a prominent „magazine shows that the shameful condition of country highways has the most far-reaching effects in retarding the progress of the farmer in prosperity and civilization. The all-power- ful mud keeps his children home when they should be at school ; it stalls his horses and wears out them and the waggon and himself in his attempts to get produce to the rail- road. A ram storm just "betore an election may prevent an expression of the popular will. This writer, in ccnnputing the losses by bad roads, says in the Unites! States there are something like 16,000,000 horses and mules above the age of two years upon farms, and at the moderate estimate of 25 cents, as the cost of feed and care of each of these animals, the aggregate expense of maintaining thein is about $4,000,000 a day. If by a similarly moderate estimate we say that they are kept in the stable in a condition of enforced idleness, by the deep mud of ;spring and fall, /or a period averaging twenty days in each year, the loss in the market shine will amount to $80,000,000 per year, a sum sufficient to build 16,000 miles of excellent highway. It is bed enough in Canada, but according to the writer, in the spring of 1891, half loaded farm waggons were stallecl in deep mud almost in the shadow of the magnifi- cent twenty -million capital at Albany (New York), while, as if to show td what ridicu- lous ends the perversity of the human mind will sometimes lead us, the good farmers of Albany county are actually sending tele- grams to the Legislature, asking for the ad- journment of a committee -hearing, because the roads of Albany county were too bad to permit them to get to town to oppose a bill which promised to make them better. It is a fact that farmers, as a class, oppose spending any money or being taxed to keep up good roads, and it is the same in f Can- ada as in the United States. The making of first-class country roads is solely in the hands of the farmers themselves, and they are almost wholly for the benefit of the farmer, and, yet, what a poor showing there is. But first-class roads in the end would be absolutely cheaper, since after the first expense of building the cost of maintenance would be much smaller than with the dirt enormities, now the fashion. Improved roads will never be obtained in this country until the old statute labor system be abolish- ed and the work let by contract under sys- tematic land competent supervision. The fine road systems of England, France, and other European countries are maintained at a cost of but three per cent. on the first outlay. Why couldn't this be done in this country? Aryms. As a rule, plants are grown either for their flowers or the fruits they bear, but the principal beauty of the Arum is in the leaf, or the several leaves, which with the stem constitute the whole plant. The flower, which ap- pears and dies away before the stem com- mences to grow, is indeed curious, but less pleasing in ap- pearance and fra- grance. But the plant itself is one of the most interesting ob- jects the sub -tropical garden affords in sum- mer. A. dracunculus, illustrated herewith, - ARUM DRACUone of the most com NCITLUS. mon species in culti- vation, has a beautifully spotted stem;with large, pedate leaves. which form an um- brefla-shaped head that is an object of beauty the entire summer. Amorphophallus Rivieri, a closely -allied species, is a still more remarkable plant of the same general character; it is larger in every respect, and the stem more beauti- fully mottled. Its purple spadix or flower is the reverse of beautiful, and so fetid that with many persons it would produce head- ache. The tubers of all the Arums should be kept dry and *arm during winter, and planted out in spring, in the samemanner as the gladiolus. The Indian turnip or Jack-in-the-pulpit, belongs to this family, and when well cultivated is a beautiful plant. Our woods furnish- several varie- ties of this, all of which are vastly im- proved. by garden culture. They delight in the shade that will not do for most flow- ering plants. The flowers are succeeded by bunches of scarlet fruit that remain on the entire summer. These are perfectly hardy and need but little attention after planting. has sped the acts of human beings or barred them by adverse cautionings. Rome was saved by tbe cackling of geese, and her legions followed her golden eagles to conquer the world. The great bald-headed bird emblem Of the United States his had not a little to do with inspiring its people to war or peace, by the figurative flapping of its wings. The solemn, stately, Zombre crow is be- lieved to be especially cognizant of coming evil to man. The only recorded case of its ever having yielded to s cheerful impulse is that of feeding the prophet Elijah when hidden by the brook of Cherith ; and eyen the consolation of crow diet is questionable. Shakespeare tells that a crow cawed hoarsely at the approach of Duncan to the castle of Macbeth. Its cry thrice repeated is a sure warning of death to the Hindoos. If it caws once upon the right side of a young woman, her lover -is coming; but if it hops to another piece and flies away when spoken to, she may expect the young man soon. To owls is ascribed supernatural wisdom; though Fronde tells us in his "Cat's Pilgrimage" that the very important question of their genesis -whether the owl came from the egg or the egg from the owl -is still undecided among them. The white owl is a favorite among the people of Eastern countries'and prosperity dwells with its presence. The Mohamme- dans aver that a man who eats owl becomes the obedient slave of his wife.' All who have ever tried it will agree that such a man needs some one to boss him. In Bailey's Dictionary a strange healing virtue Is credited to the loriot, or golden oriole. It says, quaintly, "It is a bird that, being looked upon by one who has the yellow jaundice, oures the penon, but him- self dies." Throughout Northern Germany and 'in the Low Countries the stork is held in be- loved reverence. Supports are placed upon every cottage gable, that they may build their nests thereon; for the peasanti believe that where the stork bas its brood no fire can ever come. (This is cheap insurance.) Neither can misfortune befall their crops or bulbs if the stork nests in their midst. The cry of a peacock under a window, like the banshee ' s call, bodes death to some one within the house. There is probably more certainity in the prediction that the horribly discordant cry under some windows would result in death to the peacock. Ill luck accompanies the possession of the pea - cook's beautiful feathers. No doubt the mysterious play of colors, as in the unluoky opal, gave to both feathers and stone their malignant reputation. It is part.of a Mohammedan's faith that a peacock and a snake are sentinels at the gates of the Celestial City to give warning of danger. Islamitio legend bath it that be- cause they listened to the voice of Satan they are condemned to stand forever without the heavenly walls. Long before Gentle, the cock, immortaliz- ed St. Peter, the cock was sacred to Mare, the Greek god of war. Ever since that time he has had much to do with the affairs of men, other than his meddlesome morning engagement. Among the West Virginia mountaineers his crowing before the door tells of coming company. His wife, the hen, fixes the time as to -morrow if she enters the house with a straw hanging to her tail. They have a recipe for killing a chicken: "Pull three feathers out of a chicken's wing, after its head has been cut off, and cross them; then lay the otecken on its back up- on the feathers ; it will die at once." This is never -failing, if the chicken does not die from the preliminary treatment. A lamentable future is predicted for the hen that crows, and -the whistling girl is ad- monished to take warning, in the old couplet, - Diseases of the Flunk. The black fungus or knot, as a rule, attacks plum tree S growing in grass and neglected. The best preventive for knot is good clean culture, and the best remedy, cutting away ot the diseased parts as soon as discovered. As for the curculio there is only one safe plan. Just as soon as this pest begins its operations spread a large sheet prepared for the purpose around eschA tree and jar it so as to shake down all fruits that, have been stung, as well as all the curculios. Both insects and stung fruits can then be destroyed. This work must be performed daily to insure a full crop. Let those who desire to grow _ fine crops of plums try this jarring sys- tem; if followed up rigidly they will be successful. Summer Blooming Bulbous Plants. Numbered with showy garden favorites are the summer blooming bulbous plants, such as Oxalis, valuable for edging walks and beds ; lvlilla Bifiora, or Mexican Star, which blooms freely in sunny positions, and the Madeira and -cinnamon vines, each bearing fragrant flowers. Tigridias, or Peacock flower, is a handsome member of bulbous plants, and flowers freely when the bulbs are placed in a warm, sunny spot. Flowering Trees. Following is a list of flowering trees that are named in the order in which they bloom and embracing some of the choicest spisci- mens : Amelanchier, doeble flowering cherry, Judas tree,' Chineee magnolia, double flowering almond, Cornus Florida, horse chestnut, flowering crab, bird cherry, mountain ash, thorn laburnum, whits fringe, locust, Virgilia„ Lutea, catalpa, linden, American chestnut. Cheese kept in a cool larder or cellar with a cloth wrung out of clean cold water con- stantly upon it will -never have mites on it; or if it has, this soon destroys them, and also greatly improves the cheese, keeping it always moist. Superstitions About Birds. From the earliest time, it has been the rule with man to worship that which he could not comprehend. The sun, moon, stars, reproduction, all the powers of earth and air, have at one time or another had their adorers, either as they exist in nature or in ideal embodiments. From the sacred beetle of Egypt to the white elephant of Siam, mcst winged and footed things have had their votaries. No wonder, then, that far back in the Dark Ages the diluted intellects of dwellers upon the earth should attribute supernatural powers to birds and they be worshipped and feared accordingly. Birds have played no mean part in the progress and shaping of civilization.

The grannies will relate that a goose calls every hour of the night; that a bird flying into the house is a sure sign of death; and that a horseshoe put into the fireplace will keep hawks away from the poultry. How many maidens have obtained indefi- nite but consoling assurance that they will be married first, from getting the long end of a merry thought in a pull for it with some fair rival! and how many doubting damsels have been settled to choosing him for a husband who first passed under it when slyly stuck Above the lintel! The negroes of Louisiana give credence to the myth that the jay -birds spend Friday in the infernal regions, as a punishment for their misconduct during the crucifixion. It is possible that their incessant clatter in made the special torment for Fridays. Shakespeare wrobe,- When daisies pied, and violets blue, And Lady.smocks all silver white, And cuckoo buds, of yellow hue, Do paint tho meadows with delight, The cuckoo then on every tree ' Meeks married men, for 'Cue sings he: Cueiroct ! Cuckoo! enickoo ! Oh, word of fear, Unplessing to a married ear! When Shepherds pipe on oaten straws, And merry larks are ploughtnen'e clocks, When turtles tread, and rooks and daws, And maidens bleach their summer smocks, The cuckoo thee on every tree Mocks married men, for thus sings he: Cuckoo! -- Cuckoo! cuckoo! Oh, word of fear, Unplmusing to a married ear! Mr. Kennan writes that the exiles in Sib- erian prisonplaces long for the cuokoo's coming,-" General Kuckuslika," as they call him. His song announces that the forests are habitable, that escape is possible, or, if retaken, three months of liberty with berries, roots, and leaves for food, the ground for a bed, and God's pure sir for covering, are better than the vile prison -den they flee from. .• The English peasantry say that this shy bird turns into a merlin hawk at midsummer. His gluggitty-gluggitty tones warn the farmer of coming water -fall, and thus speed him with his seeding or hurry the housing of his grain. The saying that "one swallow does not make a summer" has lost somewhat of its sanctity since some wit remarked that "one swallow never made anything." Neverthe- less the adage holds that swallows are the heralds of summer's coming. If they fly high, all will be bright and fair ; if low all will be dull and watery. The full, rich voice of the cardinal grossbeak ever proclaims " wet year ;" but if he utters his prophecy from the top of it high tree, the West Virginia mountaineer will say, " Hit's goin' to jine rainin' puny nigh soon." It is aleo part of his creed that if the buzzard flies in February the winter has gone. When chickens cluster in the sun to preen their feathers, a rainfall may be expected ; and when turkeys stretch their necks to stare upwards from their roosts, it will rain before morning. All birds roost with their heads to the wind ; but they have foreknowledge at their bedtime of wind -change .in the night, and settle on their perches accordingly, thus avoiding the disagreeable necessity of getting up from their sleep to turn around in order to keep their feather's down. An old rhyme informs us, - If the cock crows going to bed, He v.all rise with a watery head ; When the peacock loudly bawls, We shall soon have rain and squalls. The'peaSants of Brittany aver that if a crow croaks three times, he proclaims foul_ weather ; but if the number of his croaks is even, it will be clear. The West Virginian declares, with a certainty admitting of no question, that "Ther's goin' to be a seS,rm spell, fer the big owls is hootin'." But then, weather -prognosticating is the inspired vocation of almost every bird.
