There is more play for the winds in the country than there is in the city, and when the snow accompanies the wind the drifts impede travel and clog the ways about the farm. The gateway must be kept clear because that is the way in as well as the way out. Unless the gate is constructed in a manner that will readily yield to the GATE CLOSED. Impediments it is about as good as no gate. In the plan suggested herewith is a partial solution of the difficulty which so often confronts the farmer at this season of the year. Two cuts are pictured. They show a gate which can be readily adjusted in case of snowdrifts. • It is easily made from ordinary lumber. A I by 0 upright is used for the two lower boards, 1 by 4 for the upper ones. The uprights at the hinge post are double 1 by 4, one piece out. side and the other inside the bars. The upright at the latch side may be the same weight of stuff or slightly light- er and fastened in 'the same way. In- stead of nailing the bars to these up- rights, bolts are used, one for each bar at each end. The lowest board is notched, as shown, and the double GATE Orr.N. brace used from the top of the latch post to the bottom of the hinge post. For the braces 1 by 3 stuff is strong enough. These may be held in place at the top by a single bolt. They are joined near the bottom with a bolt which engages with the notches when the gate is raised, as shown in the cut, Tuberculosis in Animals. The International congress on tuber- culosis which recently met in Wash- ington, as a whole, dealt especially with human tuberculosis, but consid- erable attention was directed to tuber- culosis in domestic animals and nota- bly to questions dealing with the milk and meat supply and with the inspec- tion of these products. One of the seven sections into which the con- gress was divided devoted itself espe- cially to these topics, and the general addresses before the congress, as a whole, included a lecture by Profess- or Barnard Bang of Copenhagen on "Studies In Tuberculosis in Domestic Animals and What We tfay Learn' Regarding Human Tuberculosis," An extended discussion followed the re- affirmation by Professor Dr. Robert Koch of Berlin of his theory as to the nonidentity and nontransmissibility of human and bovine tuberculosis, after which a resolution was unanimously adopted recommending "that preven- tive measures be continued against bovine tuberculosis and that the pos- sibility of the propagation of this to man be recognized." The very extensive exhibits from the various countries in America and Europe attracted much attention and presented a vast amount of illustra- tive material of rare educational val- tle. Phases dealing especially with the prevention and treatment of the dis- ease in its early stages predominated, there being a great variety of models Of sanitaria and special appliances. Death Resulted. On July 14th, James Hopkins of Pine River was Injured in a runaway, but no one dreamed that his injuries were fatal, The horses bad run away while hitched to a wagon and he had been thrown out, falling between the wheels, Re had several ribs broken and was badly bruised, but Dr. Mc- Lennan, who attended him, expected no fatal results. Oa Tuesday of last week, he succumbed the injuries, Corns Cured For zgc.

A Port Elgin minister has an excel- lent English cherry tree, of which he is justly proud. • One evening last week be beard a disturbance in the tree, and having been warned about cherry thieves, went out to investi- gate. He found a number of young men or boys helping themselves and tearing down more branchc than a cyclone could do. With a club in one hand and a lamp in the other, the minister kept the boys up the tree un- til one of the members of the family went for a constable. The young chaps were brought down, greatly humiliated and badly frightened. Barn Blown Down. The severe windstorm that passed over a part of Oarriak Tp. recently, did considerable damage. It carried the big bank barn belonging to Alex. Ste Marie of the 1st concession, off the foundation and made of it a complete wreck. Mr. Ste Marie was in the field scuffling turnips when it began to rain, and went for shelter to the barn. He was in the act of tying his horse in the stable, when the wind storm struck the barn, carrying it off the wall, The building was insured in the Grand Valley Weather Insurance Co. for $300. The barn belonging to Mr. Demerling, across the road from Mr. Ste Marie's, was shifted on the founda- tion, but did not go over. 'James J. Hill's Idea of a Farm. There will be much discussion of farming for the next few months from many angles, one among them beipg the most useful size of farms. We do not wish to be one sided and shall al- ways state fairly the large farm or combination arguments, but it seems to us that farming in thls respect is the exception among businesses. Econ- omy in the cost of supervision is the only reason for time expansion of the 'unit in any business, and land .Is more productive under the small farm sys• thin. Even if larger farm units are possible they aro not desirable, We do not want the European regime of au overlord with tenant farmimers, We want the greatest nuanbor of Inde- pendent little farmers, who hardly need even one farm hand. James . I1111 has more sense than nearly all of time professors, and he delivered an opinion two years ago to the effect that the individual farmer must haVa fewer acres and more hoes.

There is a well-defined rumor that the Provincial Governmennt will es- tablish the new Central Prison farm in the neighborhood of Inglewood in Caledon township. The situation has much—almost everything. we might say in the way of accessibility and natural resources. It is within thirty- five miles of the seat of Government, neither too close:nor too distant in these days of rapid transportation, It is a meeting point of the two great railway systems of the Province, and is easy of access from all places on those systems, north, south, east and west. It is very centrally located, so far as the population of the Province is concerned. For natural resources it woulehe hard to find a better site for such an institution. It is understood that the Government has decided, that for the new Central Prison site, building and road -making material must be handy and that the agricul- turas ossibilitiesbe excellent. p t i must This happy combination is to be found at Inglewood, There is abundance of good agricultural land in the neigh- borhood and there is building material a-plenty.—[Beaver. • —Grand Trunk Pacific 'rails have been laid into Edmonton.

Prof. Solodiloff is a prime mover in favor of radical reform in calendar -making, The year, he explains, shotild begin at the spring equinox and the quarters should be reckoned from the equinox, es and solstices. The first two months of every quar- ter should have thirty days and the third thirty-one days, Thus each quarter would have ninety-one days, making 804 days for the year. As the solar year has 865 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 40.7 seconds, one day in the year should be simply called New Year's Day without a weelt-day name. This disposes of the extra day, leave ing the difference of five hours and the minutes and seconds. These on four years time would, but for forty- five minutes, make an extra day, which Prof.. Solodiloff proposes to call the Day After New Year, The forty, five minutes would mount up to a day in 128 years, and so the Day After New Year should fall but once in 128 years. There is still a difference of a few seconds, but as this does not amount to a day in 5000 or 6000 years, it may be disregarded. Under this system, every first day of a quarter would be a Monday, the first day of the second month always a Wednesday, and the first day of the third month always a Friday. It is also proposed to make Easter, from which all church festivals are reckon- ed, occur at a fixed date, which the ecclesiastical authorities are invited to name. Mr. Thomas Wylie (Box $84), Galt. says: -.tilt was the luckiest day of my life When i struck PSYCHINE, for I truly be- lieve I shouldn't be alive now but for that.

One of the trials of the dairy.stable or yard is the presence in the herd. of hard milkers, which waste time, weary muscles, and dishearten begin- ners. Jas. Weir, an East Middlesex, Ont., cheese factory patron, always on the alert for improvements in prac- tice, has made a couple of bard milk- ers easy"by a very simple method, which he passes on to others who may be similarly troubled. Be tried it first on an old cow that for years bad been a "tough one" to milk, and then on a valuable heifer that he was in- clined to part with for the same rea- son. The trouble he found just at the orifice of the teat, the hole being so small as to let through only a very fine stream of milk. The problem was how to make it larger, without causing some other injury. Grasping the teat firmly with one hand, he pressed the point of a sharp, small penknife blade into the opening, mak- ing a slight incision quickly in one side. Often there are just twoteats to 'treat, as the fore pair are usually hardest to milk. He found at once that the stream of milk flowed larger and more easily, Lest there might he leakage at first, or the slit healing up close again, he made a smooth, little pin of wood, with a shoulder, and, after putting on a few drops of some healing oil, he pressed it up into the hole, leaving it there till next milking. The cow is regularly milked, and in about a week the incision was nicely healed, and no trouble whatever has resulted. Mr. Weir does not purpose tugging at any more hard milkers, when so simple a remedy is at hand. —[Farmer's Advocate. h` ?

Farm any Garden See that the'young chicks get suf- ficient to eat. Rations that were am- ple a week ago, are two small now. With warm weather chick develop- ment takes place rapidly, It is wise therefore to nourish and stimulate that development and so bring the young stock to early maturity that the pullets will be ready to lay before winter. Keep a sharp lookout too, that rats, cats and other depredations are not, in the night time, preying on the young stock. If there are alarge number of chicks, the simplest way to count them is when they have gone to roost for the night. It is recommend- ed that this be done at least once a week for great ravages may take place in a might or two and a large ,number of the chickens may be de- stroyed before it is known that sonic enemy is at work. THE COUNTRY ICEHOUSE. An important Adjunct to the Up to. Data Firm. I3y ?CAOFES$Oki OSCAR ERF, Ohio Ag.. rlculturai college, In this age of advanced farming the icehouse Is an important adjunct, The Most economical building is the one so constructed that It will preserve the greatest amount of Ice In propor, Um to the amount of ice stored, Waste in an icehouse is largely caused by meltage from the top, sides and bot- tom. In a properly constructed ice, house and when, the ice is properly packed- and cared for no waste should take place from the inside of the pile Of ice. The melting from the aides, bottom and top is caused by insuffi, tient insulation. Toinsulate to such an extent that no meltage would take place would be impracticable, but with .a thorough At Chia tima of the year, the poul- try should promo more interesting than at army other. The hens should all be laying well and the chickens growing, The main care should be to provide clean sleeping quarters. If oonveriient, an outdoor roosting place should be provided, one with ;uffielent roof to ailed the rain. A sharp outlook should be kept to see that vermin, that live ht the crevices of the roosts, do not get an opportuni- y to increase to such numbers that they injure the 'fowl.

The waste from the bottom is generally consid- ered to be the greatest. The amount of ice melted in the bottom of the ice- house varies from one to six feet dur- ing the year, depending upon the con- struction of the floor. If the icehouse is provided with an air tight floor, with the ice laid en at Ieast eighteen inches of dry sawdust, the bottom waste rare- ly exceeds twelve inches during the year. On the other hand, if the ice is piled in the icehouse ou the bare ground without any Insulation under it or any provision made for drainage the meltage frequently is six feet. The side and top meltage is not so great, but it frequently ranges from one to three feet, depending upon the insulation. The manner of insulation is shown in the cut of cross section of icehouse. The icehouse should be located in the coolest place possible and always above ground. The size of the build- ing must be determined by the amount of ice used during the year. For a ME AND annn noosE COMBINED. man who keeps about twenty cows and sells the milk an icehouse 14 by 14 by 12 feet high is of sufficient size. However, in no case should an ice- house be smaller than 12 by 12 by 10 feet high, because the outside surface is too great compared with the volume, and therefore too much ice is wasted in proportion to the amount used. In the plans subrOitted the frame- work is made by laying a 2 by 4 sill on the concrete foundation. Fasten this to the foundation by cementing a few bolts into the concrete and allowing them to extend through the 2 by 4 sill. Two by four studding is then placed upon this sill sixteen inches apart from center to center. The rafters for the roof are likewise made of 2 by 4's, placed the same distance apart as the studding, but the purlln plate upon the 2 by"b studding should be at least six inches wide. The outside of studding may •be boarded either with common sheeting and paper, upon which poplar siding is nailed, or with patent siding or ship Iap siding, the latter being the cheapest and requiring only a single thickness of board. The roof should be made with not less than one-half to one-third pitch and preferably covered with shingles, for shingles are better insulators than either slate or metal. However, paper may sometimes be used to good ad- vantage. A cupola or flue should be built upon the roof to allow for the removal of the warm air from the top of the ice, The ventilator may be placed in the gable end instead of the cupola and when so placed acts for the sante purpose. A. continuous door should be cut in one end to allow the ice to be put in. This door May extend from the gable down to within five feet of the bottom, In the cut, ice and milk house com- bined, the side elevation shows how the scheme has the advantage of *tilt- ing the water from the Icehouse here shown for cooling the milk. No bee needs to be removed from the ice- house, It operates automatically, If the weather is 'warm the ice melts more rapidly anti keeps water In the tank at the required temperature, . , a ISARD'S NOT WEATHER BARGAINS.
