Barns built only eleven feet to sixteen _feet to the plates, were not uncommon a generation ugoiwhile to -day Oghteen- feet posts, or 1 nger, are the rule. A good farmer *candy remarked, "If I were to build again, I would use twenty- two feet posts i "stead of the twenty -feet t ones put In. he sills -and roof required are no greater f r twenty-two feet struc- tures than if 00 have fifteen -feet posts, and the increase in capacity is reht, tively much grdater than the 'difference in height, because the settling of the hay and grain is so inuch more powerful in a higher barn." ' This argument applies, with more fore, to barns in a rolling country, than n the level plains, be- cause the load ean-be drA,en in at or near the top of Ithe structure and unload- ed expeditiousl . Where all the grain or fodder has o be'pitclied up by hand, or drawn up ox horse forks, the seeming advantage is iot so great, especially where building room is abundant.

Goc4 farming, or change of farm ownership, sometimes makes a large modern arn a necessity: The old barns On the place are too good to de- stroy, and yet are somewhat in the way. The question comes up, what shall be done with them, or how can they be made to harmonize with new structui.es? :What may be Ione with two old barns, each thirty by forty feet, that it was found necessary to move, is shown in the. accompanying engravings. A site was chosen for the new edifice 'where nature had made a steep declivity in a sidehill. By the use of plow and scraper, a suit- able place viasf prepared, and a founda- tion wall eight 'feet high laid in a gravel bank. Upon this sills were placed for the superstrueture, which consisted of the two barns Isefore mentioned. They were jacked up and moved to their new resting place, when they were carefully joined end td end. At the front and end, which op4in to the southeast, heavy supports Tani placed under the sills, thus constitutfing a lower story which can be used in part, if desirable, for storage of wagons, r manure. Fig. 1 shows the gimeral arrangement witki only one of the barns in place. In till plan mentioned, surface sills were laid, on a stone foundation, at a, let in beloW frost level, and the entire lower story boarded up for hay storage. To prevent the action of[ frost, upon. the walls, g careful systerd of drainage was carried out while the 4truottl.re was in progress FIG. 2. ointiss SECTION OF WALLS. 1 , of erection. At the top of the first new story, the ba4k was dug baak and a ..second wall, b, sorne ten feet high was i built four feet !from the main structure. In the area tius made, tiles were laid,., and the trench filled with course gravel. At the -top of 'the second wall the grad- ing was done in sucha. way that the water running, down th'e hillside toward the barn wotild _ be arrested and con- ducted away ftotn, instead of toward it. Had the bank not been of porous gravel, drains would! be necessary under the eight feet ifoundation walls: A cross sectio of this work is shown at Fig. 2, including the drainage systiem. After being neat- ly covered and painted, the whole presents a thciroughly pleasing appear- ance, a cupola crowns the improved building, andl a southern exposure of eighty teat.

Talcing ,this Darrow view of the matter we find that this province. in 189, produced Cheese to the value of $8 959,039, and butter to the value of $384.5 6 (creanieties only). Now, if we add ti this the value of the cows which are u ed to- produce this amokipt of but- ter a d cheese, then add it to the amou it of money invested n factories and p ant, and to this again the value of cows and plant used in supplying towns and cities with milk ;and butter, not to mention the dairy products used at he neon the farms of Ontario, we have onie idea of the value of dairying froma dollars -and -cents standpoint. But ft is not of this value that I wish to s eak more particularly, but of other values which are not usually recko led in speaking or Writing on this them Th tint value I shall mention is that ot the dairymen themselves. (And when the w rd dairymen is used, it is intend- ed to include the women also, for how could men succeed in this business with- out 41 9 help of the good wives and daugl ters, who set an example of neat- ness, idiness and gentleness—things. so essen ial for success in a diary!) Wi hout saying one word against . the men vho are engaged in other branches of ag iculture, take the dairymen out of th s province and the farmers would rate ether low; and Ontario, instead of bein known as the gem of the conti- nent n agrictfltural pursuits, "would be as th gravel stone in value. 1 would rank the classes of agriculturists of the -provi ce in the following order as to in- tellig nee Skill, good farming, good buildings and fences,and wealth accord- ing to numbers; (1)- dairymen; (2) Fruit glowers; (3) Live Stock Breeders and Feeders; (4) Grain Urowers ; (20) Lazy Farniers,and non-readers and non -think- ers. 1(01 the latter class wehave but a - few representativee in Ontario.) The dairy iudustry is further valuable because the prosperity of the beef busi- ness !le dependent largely on it. Good steel* require good milk, on which they may Ib� fed for the most critical part of tbeheeifr fed; no rn b eeu wide 8w in lives. Good calves . mall good rs, which mean good milk properly while poor beefers indicate little or ilk at a time when it should have fed. If we extend the term to its ' t meaning, the value of our :sheep, , horsei3, and men depends upon a plentiful and wholesome milk supply. It is taluab1e because it utilizes waste land) which otherwise would bring little or inc revenue to its owners; .because it maks possible the employment of skilled laborl, and the use of that system known as co-operation, which will do much to make business men of farmers. It is also valuable owing to the fact that it enables farmers to become manufac,- turers, and to reap the profit of mannfactwers. Re who produces none l but raw, rough material never grows very wealthy out of these goods alone.- The man who inamlifactures rough boards into fine furmiture makes greater profits than the man who swings an axe, pulls a saw, or rolls saw -log, and; as a rule, lives in a finer house and wears better clothing. Tile arson who makes gloves,'fine boots and hoes, or fur clothing, makes more mon y than the inen who raise the ani- inals take off the hides, or tan them. So the farmer who manufactures his hay, straW, cornstalks and grain into -milk, a nd !this again into butter and cheese, will eap the profits that come to a menu - foal rer. "In all labor (if wisely direct- ed) t tere is profit," says an old proverb, - and tise more effectual labor We put into a business, the greater will be the profits. In naking milk, butter and cheese, the farn er not only benefits himself, but all nankind, creating a demand for labo • and satisfying the mouth with goo things. Laatly, dairying is valuable, because . it -keeps the land from becoming poor, and ,enriches that which is already on the road to poverty: If farmers would but consider that every time a load of grai 1, hay or straw is sold from the far , and nothing returned to take its plac , the farm is poorer by the amount of p ant food contained in that load, and that if this drain is scoutinued, he time will come when there shall be no more loa there. would be even more fink ods-tiiquiry than there is atpresent as. t how the farm may be kept in good con. ition and a good living made, with something left Over to pay shoe bills, store bills, blacksmith bills, notes on farrn machinery, or interest on a mort- gage ; and after this has been done, something laid by for a rainy day.— Prof. H.

It is is curious fact that although Eugene Field has written over five hundred poems, he has never written a single love -song. "1 don't know exactly why it is," raid the Western poet recently in explanation, "ex- cept that I was married when quite young, and I did not begin to write poetry until after my marriage. ' Mr. Field has now written his first love -poem, which .he calls "Will you be My Sweetheart?" and has given it to The Ladies' Home Journal for publicatibn. The Ferris Wheel. It is not easy for the mind to groan the stupendous nature of this undertaking:The wheel itself is 250 feet in diameter; at its highest; point it is 268 feet above the earth. As to its enormous weight,the Niagara canti- lever bridge, just below the Falls,was looked upon as an engineering wonder when • it was built. Its construction required three years. The Ferris wheel was built in five mouths, and its weight is four times that of the Niagara bridge. The St. Louie bridge wae another wonder, and its weight is about equal to that of the big wheel oomplete. The 'Cincinnati cantilever is another huge bridge, It is 1,300 feet, a quarter of a mile long, and it would about balance the soale with Mr. FarrW big toy. And the one is set immov- able, resting on two supports, while the wheel is swung upon an axle lifted 140 feet in the air. It has thirty-six cars, and in these two regiments of soldiery could be seated and swept with an almost impercep- tible motion high above the White wonder. —Review of Reviews.

"Let me see your best brooms," Raid a little woman, excitedly, as she pluDged into a grocery store. " Green or dned ?" asked the grocer, putting his pen over his ear and rolling up his sleeves. "1 said brooms," snapped the woman. "And I meant brooms," answered the grocer, civilly; "but there's a difference. Some are new niade and green, while others are dry and sea - monad. Some women folks won't touch a real.dry broom—they allow the corn -seeds to come off in the sweeping." "I ain't say- ing nothing about sweeping," said the woman.

"Forty °elite; ma'am.- It's the big- gest and best in the lot, though it don't look as fancy as the reit" "Forty cents.

"About - how much do you save each year?" he asked the youth, who had ap- proached him on the subject. "1 should say about $4 a year," he laughed, for he was the kind of a young man who thinke it is a wife's duty to teach a young man how to save. "Um—um—er," calculated the old man. Four dollars a year—four dollars a year. Well, you can have the girl," he went on briskly and in business tones, "but you've got to wait for her until you have saved $100,000. That's the amount I determined her husband shall have. Of course, it will take you 25,000 years, and a good deal may happen in that time, but your kind of economy, my boy, is bound ,to get there by and by. Good morning."

There are 'men who will cringe and scrape and bow with the utmost obsequiousness to the woman in their own sphere, or above them in social position' who are boorish enough to only half nodwithout even touch- ing the hat to the woman who has not this social prestige. Such a mati is thoroughly ill-bred, and by ao doing he lowers himself fifty per cent in the estimation of all sensi- ble people. Politeness costs nothing, and it is often the "open sesame" to many of the good thinge of life. A woman of refinement will be as gracious to her washerwoman as to her social equal A manly man will be deferent to all women. It is related of Washington that while out walking with a friend, a col- ored man, recognizing the president, raised hie hat and bowed. The president returned the salutation by raising his hat. And his friend said, "why did you raise your hat to that colored man ? ". "Because I could not afford to permit him to excel me in politeness," was the reply. No woman, of good judgment, will de- mand of the aged or infirm man that he lift his hat to her. There is a deference, yes, almost a reverence which we owe those who must, of necessity leave us very soon, and we should give them good oheer and a bright, hearty welcome at all times, for un- doubtedly, into their lives much rain has fallen. AnOldGrocer's Counsel. In' cotiVereation with an old successful groper'the other day, he said : " Yes, it pays to be frank, manly and honest. I don't think it does to be in the least degree deceitful. I want my customers to trust me. I want every clerk in my` store to do - as he would be done by. If a patron calls for a certain brand of goods usually kept by me, land I happen to be out of it, he is told . SO frankly. I don't try to sell him some/ thing he doeen't want. If I chance to have a poer stook of canned goods in stook—no metier what brand—I will not sell them at any price; they are returned to the seller or thrown aside as worthleas. Other goods are treated in the same way. Of two evils, it is cheapest and best to stand the loss my- self rather than run the almost certain risk of loping the confidence and patronage of my customers.

The entire contents were also destroyed, including the chief part of the year's crop. The loss is $1,500 to $2,000, on which there is an insurance of $850. --The anniversary servioes of the Central Methodist church, Stratford, were held last Sabbath. Mr. Alfred Day, general secre- tary of the Ontario Sabbath School Associ- ation, preached at both morning and evening services. In the evening the church was crowded even beyond the limits of its seat- ing capacity. Mr. Day took his text from II Kings, chapter II. His sermon was an earnest advocacy 4f the claims of children to the first attentiOn of Christian educators. Mr. Day believes in purifying the fountain head, vet in starting at the mouth of the streain. He would pray, he said, for 48 hours straight for the conversion of any sin- ner where there was hope, but if any one had to be neglected, he would alloW the hardened, old sinner to go and direet his attention to the child.
