Use two 2by ssticks forplates spiked together, as in i‘naking a Vshaped trough. . ; Instead of the short braces; such as are commonly used in heavy timber frames; make the plate braces extend irom the foot of the posts and spike to each nailing girt. This strengthens greatly the entire structure. TUse three pieces 2 by 8 at each bent for joist bearers. Bolt and spike one to either side of the posts. The nailing girts for the siding, supposing it to be put on up and down, are spiked to the outside of 'the posts; 2 by 4-inch are strong enough for these.

WHEAT AFTER CORI.

Good Rotation Where Proper Paius ~ Are Taken in the Preparation of the Ground. !

- When a regular system of rotation is garried.out with the different crops it may be necessary to have-wheat follow ¢orn. This is a very good plan where proper pains are taken in preparation of the soil. ) P The corn should be-cut off as soon as a sufficient maturity has been reached. If the weatherisdry and the fodder is put up.in reasonably small shocks it can be cut as soon as the grain begins to harden well, or a part of the shock can be cutand put up and allowed to dry, partly at least, betore putting up a full shock. One advantage in putting up in small shocks is’ that the corn will dry out quicker and can be shocked and cribbeéd earlier than'if in large shocks. But when the land is to be sown to wheat, it is generally best to put up the corn in goodsized shocks in order to save room.

With a good corn harvester it is not so much work to put up the cornin good-sized .shocks as when it is.done by hand. It is always an item to cut the corn reasonably clese to the ground, as the corn in the shocks is less liable to be injured. Then the stalk stubs will not interfere so much with the work of preparing the scil as when the stalks are cut off high. “When thorough cultivation has been given the corn during growth, so;that the weeds have been kept down and the soil is in good tilth, one of the best ways of preparing the soil for wheat is to go over it carefully with diskharrow; cutting about four inches deep; then fine and level the surface with a good smoothing harrow. In most cases thisis all the work necessary and the soil is readyv for the drill. :

One of the_ objections to sowing wheat after corn is that the plowing must be done late and the soil is left too loose and mellow, too deep and the wheat plants freeze out badly. . When the drill is used on a loose] loamy soil, in.many cases a thorough harrowing that will fine and level the surface. leaving the under soil undisturbed, is all that is necessary to fit the ground for the seed. ' In all cases it will pay, however, to harrow, and if hecessary roll and drag the ground until three or four inches of the surface is thoroughly prepared. With wheat as with all other crops, thorough preparation of the soil before seeding is essential to good germination and a-good start to grow. By cutting the corn earlv—as soon as it is sufficiently matured the better—opportunity is given for preparing the land in good tilth and of sowing the seed in good season.—St. Louis Repliblic. i SLOP FOR THE PIGS. It Is, Quite a \,\"eni' Job to Prepare It 'bnickly"fi and in the Proper : ' I&roportions. Feed for winter pigs should be'in the form of slop.” House slops are excelléent. ‘The best preparation for slop from the ordinary feed is a mixture of ground corn, oats and linséed meal. Grind two bushels of corn with one-of oats and ddd 20 pounds of linseed meal for every 150 pounds of the mixture of corn and oats. Soak the mixture as long as possibie without souring. It is a mistake to feed haif-soaked {feed. The object of soaking feed is'to make it more palatable and digestible. Grinding the feed is an imitation of mastication. therefore, the finer it is ground the better the imitation, and soaking the feed is-an imitation of digestion. The soaked feed should not be so thick as to be lumpy, neither should it be thin enough to be watery. It should not be so watery that water will gather on the top of a pdilful after standing awhile; nor so thick as to ‘“stand up”, when thrown in -the trough. Itis a neat jobtomake anice barrel of slop from- ground feed; and much of the success in its use depends upon its proper preparation. glean troughs, regularity in feeding and plents of trough room are things very essential to successful pig feeding. We have been able to produce 17.4 pounds of growth for every equivalent of a bushel of corn, by follewing the above methods. This, of eourse, cannot be done with the runty pig.—D. A, Kent, in Prairie Farmer. : )

AMONG THE POULTRY. : A AR &) Pounded oyster shells are good for Hens. . - ; : Corn meal and kitchenlscraps make a good feed for ducks. . Store away a good supply of road dust to use this winter. s It is always best to darken the place. where the nests are arranged. The faster the turkeys are made to grow the more profitable they may be made. | : g - The profit and rapid development of chickens depends largely on the start they get. ! Unless being ‘fattened for market, fowls that fatten easily should have plenty of exercise. , Do not be tempted to keep too many fowls together. Small flocks carefully tended will give the best results. : Reduce the winter stock of poultry as much as.possible to layers. They will pay their way and leave a profit. - The earliest maturing fowl of the large breeds is the Langshan, which begins to lay when seven months old. ~ Minorcas, leghorns and black Spanish are the three breeds that are preeminently valuable for egg production.—St. Louis Repwblic. - e There Is Profit in Pigs.. Pigs breed enormously faster than do either cows or ewes. They are less liable tokinjury from accident or. disease, writes W. A. Roberts in the Market Basket. They ean digest and turn into flesh a larger proportion of food ‘than any other ruminant. For instance, 100 pounds of dry food given to them wsvill produce an increase in live weight in cattle of 9 pounds, in sheep 11 pounde and in pigs 23.8 ‘pournds. In other words, pigs get twice 4s much nourishment out of food as do sheep, and nearly three times as ‘much as do oxen. As a result, the pig increases in weight much more speedily than either sheep or ox.

THE WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS IS Sy HARD.

Not only because of the awful punishment at the end, but because ofithe barriers Ged puts in the way of sinners to keep .them from walking in that way. : ' THE-PROBLEM was to prepare a nation who would be fitted to carry on the kingdom of God, to receive His truth, to accept the Messiah and proclaim salvation to the world. There were now.two experiments, one with the northern kingdom, about which we have been studying; and the other with. Judah, which forms the subject for the next quarter’s lessons: 1. The kingdom opened with the most brilliant possibilities. Its territories were much larger and more fer¢ile than those of Judah. It inherited much of the glories,the power, wealth and literature of the kingdom which had burst into meridian splendor under David and Solomon. DBut its first king, a man of large capacity and great force of character, but more politic than religious, put in it at the very beginning the leaven of sin -and disaster. : : 2. There were reforms and reformsers, especially Elijah and Elisha, who fcarlessly proclaimed the truth, faced kings and taught the people. . .

3. There was a reforming king, Jehu, zealous and cruel, doing a good work in a bad way. Herooted out the thorns that choked the wheat, in-the family of Ahab and the priests of Baal. 4, There were schools of the proph ets, teachers of truth among the peorle. They had no little religious literature. : : i ' 5. They had examples of religious revival and prosperity in the southern kigdom, o 1 6. At times;God gave them prosperity and wealth, that His goodness might'lead them to repentance. :7. They had many warnings, lesser €vils coming upon them for their sins. These were the pains that told them of fdisease within. ' -

8. Ged sent them special prophets, Jonah, Amos and Hosea, who in ‘every way,.by words, by deeds, by visions, by object lessons, warned and entreated the people.

But in spite of all things they refused to repent; they continued their evil ways, and at last they “ate the fruit of their own way and were filled with their owm devices.” They ‘“set at maught all: Wisdom’s counsel and would none of her reproof,” till their “fear came as desolation and their desolation as a whirlwind.”

‘“The mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all.””

‘A National Application.—God has given wonderful possibilities to our nation, and we can make the ideal to ke real if we will. Our only danger is in sin and irreligion—in corruption, pride, luxury, oppression, selfishness, vice, neglect of duty. God is doing for the nations of to-day more than for Israel, to keep them from the downward path. He gives prosperity and comforts. He lets hard times come, whose meaning is ever that we should note where we have gone wrong, and repent and do works meet for repentance. v

AMONG RAILROADERS.

kL I\T.‘Cuip, freighttraffic manager of the Southern railway, is not to sever his connection with the road, as reported. ; '

One hundred and nine thousand locomotives are at present running in various countries. KEurope has 63.000, America 40,000, Asia 3,300, Australia 2,000 and -Africa 700. B

. The Baltimore & Ohio andßaltimore & Ohio Southwestern railroads have secured a long lease on the magnificent room at Broadway and Locust street in St. Louis for the purpose of consolidating under one roof the freight and passenger offices now located in that city. The new location is the ground floor of the American Central building. A Chicago Great Western official is quoted as saying: “The plan of selling stock to employes is. working fairly well, office employes taking most advantage of it, t.hough' many engineers and conductors have come in. The company buys for them preferred A ten dollars per month.”

HOSTILITIES AVERTED.

But It Took the United Efforts of the Whole Crowd to Prevent a : 3 Hot Engagement, ;

“One of the liveliest brushes I have witnessed since the opening of hostilities,” said one of the representatives at the recent meeting of the credit men, “took place in a quiet New England village of my state. Both participants had passed their three score years and ten, but were still vigorous in mind and body, and especially vigoruos in lariguage, for both had been followers of the sea. ' ' “One.of these old fellows. espoused the cause of Spain, declaring that she had been*jumped on because she was little, and that this country was playing the part of a great big bully.- After they had exchanged hot shots for a few minutes, the champion of the government got things to going his way by - shouting that -the other fellow came honestly by his principles and was bred a traitor. - e T

“‘What do you mean, you old shrimp? from the advocate of Spain. “‘During the war with Great Britain the British entered the harbor and burned the town of New London, didn’t they? - “““Course they did. What of it ?’ ; “ “‘Why, somebody piloted them there and when he come home his pockets was full of British gold, paid for his dirty work, and his neighbors, hearin’ of what he had done, got ropes and made him an evenin’ call. He scudded by the back door and never stopped till he got to Bermuda, and he never hag the cheek to come back.” .

“ ‘What you tryin’ to git at? : “ ‘That there pilot was your grandpap.’ And it took a dozen bystanders to keep the two old sea dogs from clinching.”—Detroif Free Press.

HERO HAD HIS TROUBLES.

Woman’s Care and Kindness Makes : Him Thirk of Caba with Longing.

“War is pretty bad, of course,” remarked a blue-coated man with a bandage under his coat, “but I declare, in some ways, women are as bad as Spaniards—only they kill you with kindness instead of bullets. I came home from Santiago with this little wound in my hip, and, really, I can’t tell you how I’ve suffered since, from the women of my family. It is all right, of course; this world would be a den of wild beasts without the love and sympathy of woman—but the dear creatures—especially those nearest to us—generally overdo it. They didn’t believe my message that I was only. slightly wounded, so on my arrival I was met %_v my wife, her mother, two maiden aunts and a girl cousin, all rallied from the four quarters of Michigan and adjoining states to nurse me. I don’t need any nursing worth mentioning, but, believe me, if I’ve drawn a long breath in two weeks without those five women jumping up and rushing at me. I will eat my army blanket. If T wink my wife says: “What 1s it, dear?—if I move one leg, my girl cousin’ springs at me with another pillow in her-hand; during the night my two aunts wake me up to see if I want anything; and my mother-in-law—uwell, the dear soul hasn’t sat down or been to bed since' I came—to my knowledge. -My wound is nearly healed, and that’s a Ei)]essing, for if' I don’t get back to Cuba pretty soon I'll be a ruined man. I can’t .stand such coddling—it will make a bloated tyrant out of me, so it will. A man needs war once in awhile to get him away from, woman—dear, loving -woman—she would make a spineless infant out of him in ‘no time.”—Detroit Free Press.. :

- THE‘RUSH FOR GOLD. From the Times, Bluffs, 111. .

Finally, with my hopes of relief nearly exhausted I read an article regarding Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, which induced me to try them. I was anxious to get rid of the terrible disease and bought two boxes of the pills. 1 began using them about March, 1897.
