MORE BARN BOOM WANTED.
Shifts are allowable in the early history ol
the farm that ought not to be tolerated later.
The farmer in *• clearing, or upon the prai
rie, has everything pressing upon him at once
and mast meet his taost imperious wants first.
He rauM have shelter for his family, and food
(Or himself and stock. The log house and
barn upon the most limited scale will answer
for awhile, but both.arc temporary expedi
ents to be superseded at the earliest momc-ut
by something better. The new house and
barn are not merely matters of taste, but of
economy. An ample barn for tbe storage of
crops aod the shelter of stock should lie rc
gardedae a necessary investment of capital
in all farming in the Northern and Eastern
States, This is better understood in Penusyl
vania than iu any other part of the countiy ,
and the barn that bears the name of the State
is, in many respects, a model. It contempla
tes the shelter of all stoc>, a. id the storage of
all crops raised upon the farm: and if it also
provided shelter formaunre.it would, with
abandaut light and free ventilation, meet
every want.
Such a barn upon every farm where mixed
husbandry is pursued would soou pay for
itself. It prevents the deterioration of crops
and of manure. The loss from this source is
immense in all parts of the country. Even iu
thrifty New England, where a barn of some
kind is found upon every farm, a large part of
the hay and corn-fodder is stored in stacks,
and the open yard is still oileu met with as
the only receptacle for manure. There is
waste of labor in the topping and securing of
stacks, and waste of fodder in all that part of
the stack that is exposed to the ground and
to the weather, and judging from the fact that
barn hay always brings the higher price,there
is deterioration through tbe whole mass. In
the West, there is much more loss irotn this
source, lor there is much leas barn-room, aud,
in addition to this, great damage from the
exposure of the grain crops to the weather.
The wheat crop for this year has been gather
ed in excellent condition, for very little rain
fell, in all the grain growing districts during
harvest. But this is an exceptional season.
If those districts had been visited with the
rains and cloudy weather that have prevailed
along the seaboard, we think the grain crop
would have been damaged to the amount of
one third of its value. This sometimes hap
pens, and there is much more damaged thsn
sound wheat in the market. Ordinarily the
wheal is left in small shocks, with two bun
dles laid crosswise for a cap, until the thresh
ing machihe comes, which may be within two
weeks or two months after cutting. If the
weather is bad, the grain moulds and sprouts,
and the market is crowded with damaged
wheat. The straw also is injured for feeding
purposes. The loss to the country from this
source amounts annually to many millions of
dollars. If it could be saved it would pay all
the taxes laid upon farmers.
Then, a good barn saves immensely in the
expenses of keeping stock and in the conve
nience of feeding them. It is a common es
timate that shelter saves one-third in fodder.
This estimate is certainly not too high for tbe
northern half of the Northern States. The
consumption of food to keep up animal heat
in freezing weather is very great, and this
does not benefit the farmer. He wants an
increase of flesh and fat, articles that a stack
yard regimen rarely gives. With a plenty of
grain, an animal will thrive out of doors, but
he does not thrive as he would under shelter.
It is too expensive, even in the grain dis
tricts, to substitute corn for boards. With
out barns, also, the farmer is very much at
the mercy of the grain speculator. With
them, he cau store his hay and grain, and
sell when the market suits. The speculator
knows the situation, and visits the regions
where the barns are yet to be built, lie
knows the farmers must sell, for he has uo
place to store his grain, lie generally pre
fers the fonder mercies of the speculator,
whom he knows, to the commission merchant
in the city, whom he does not know. He
wants the cash in hand aud takes what he can
get. As wheat often advances fifty percent,
in a season, the iarmer ought to he able to
sake advantage of the rise. If gruin could be
kept more in first hands, it would benefitcou
samers, for it would tend to make uniform
prices. Nobody bat speculators would suf
fer. In the plans of barns that we frequently
present in these page 6, so me of them giving the
results of years of study by practical farmers
to meet their own wants, our readers will find
maDy profitable suggestions.— American A'j
i iculturisL
MANURING THE WHEAT CROP.
Manure holds the same relation to
that steam does to the engine; it is the force
used to accomplish the desired result. Let
the one fail in the engine and the wheels stop,
iet tbe other be withdrawn from the soil and
its useful products rapidly and constantly di
minish. If the farmer canuot manure every
crop, then ha should consider from which he
can best afford to withhold the fertilizers. If
be designed growing a crop of oats, followed
by one of wheat, it would not be wise to ap
ply the manure to the oat crop and give none
to the wheat. It would not pay as well; tbe
crop of manure would be sold in a cheap mar
ket. So, too, it might be injudicious to man
urea crop of potatoes and have none to ap
ply to the succeeding grain. The season in
which manure should be applied, the staga of
the crop, and the depth at which it should be
placed, are also topics which the farmer
should think much about. Many consider
that if manure is only buried in the soil it is
enough, no matter whether it be deep or shal
low, whether the subsoil be firm or lenchy,
if the manure is in the earth the crops, they
argue, will get the full benefit of it—some
lime or another. But this is not always true,
and it is certainly more scientific and profita
ble farming to apply manure—not to increase
the general fertility of the soil with a view to
benefiting several crops in succession—but to
directly augment the yield of a specified crop.
This course will bring the most profit, for
products which command the highest prices
are thus largely increased.
Doubtless most farmers will assent to the
assertion that the wheat crop needs manure
as much as any other one, and pays as well
for its liberal application. But the profits of
this operation may be greatly varied by the
manner iD which it is done. Plowing in
manure deeply will not give as good results us
placing it on or just under the surface. It is
less labor for the farmer to plow in the man
ure, for it is easier to haul it on a bard sur
face than over freshly plowed ground. And
then it is out of the way of the borrow aud the
drill: but when buried deep it does 801 nour
ish the young plant in its first growth, and
impart to it strength and size to endure the
approaching winter. Nor does it mulch the
surface and protect the tender plants from
heaving trosts and blighting winds. The rains
in their descent wash the soluble elements
downwards aud away from llie searching roots.
Surface manuring reverses these processes,
and is more rational and productive of more
immediate and visible results-
Well fermented farm-yard manure is good
eiiough for any crop: and the best manure for j
all, but the trouble is we can't get enough j
of it Whether the wheat grower can af
ford to purchase and use fertilizers is a ques
tion which he roust settle by experiment aud
observation. Lime may often be used with'
great profit; plaster is beneficial in some sea
sons, and salt returns a liberal profit if sown
on rich lands in humus. Fertilizers for the
wheat plant should be applied before the
seed has germinated, as a general rule, at
least before iheSpring begins. Tbe prefera
ble time is just before sowing.— Rural New
