Barn Building.
As to whether barns should be built
tight or not seems to depend partly
upon the circumstances of the owner,
and partly upon other facts and con
ditions.
If grain and hay were invariably
u- >ll cured before being put into the
l am it would not be necessary for
"every crack to serve as a ventila
tor" —as the closer it was kept the
better ; but grain aud hay arc not
always well cured, so that if there is
no chance for general ventilation it
will often become partially fermented
and mouldy. Most farmers have no
ticed that the hay or grain for two or
three feet around next to the outside
of the bay or scaffold always comes
out bright, although the central part
may be much damaged.
That cattle, especially cows, should
have a warm stable is undoubtedly
true, but is it not easier and better to
have a tight, warm stable than to
have the whole barn tight and warm ?
The stable used should not occupy
more than one-eighth part of the barn-
Wiiat objection to having that near
ly water-tight eyen, except doors,
windows aud ventilators ? It is cer
tainly mucheheaper and easier finish
ing a' small room than a large one,
anil furnishing it with doors, windows
and ventilators in such away that
they may be more convemently and
satisfactorily operated.
There can be no doubt that the air
from the stable, made impure by the
breathing, evaporating and evacua
tion of the animals, ought not to be
absorbed by the grain, hay or straw
about to be given tbem for food ; but
in a tight barn, how can it be preven
ted, unless the stable is also tight,
aud has ventilators or conductors for
the impurities from it to the open
air?
Iu view of these and other similar
considerations, as soon as my finan
ces will allow, I intend to build a
barn "oo that every crack shall serve
as a ventilator" —excepting the sta-
I !e, which shall be double boarded
inside and out,and have double doors.
1 will also have a series of ventila
tors, fore and aft, connecting with the
air above the roof in f ront,and all op
. rated by a single lever, which may
have a wire attached to it going to
the house. This stable, with a half
dozen head of cattle iu it, will not
freeze with the mercury thirty de
grees below zero outside, and milch
cows and other stock will eat and lie
down and chew their cuds with more
happiness than ever a king had on
his throne. The hay and grain that
they receive is eaten with gusto, be
cause it is fresb, bright and sweet,
and has a smell and taste of fresh
air and "out doors" iu it that is exhil
arating, instead of that "o'-hold-oi-a
sliip" smell that feed possesses which
is kept iu a tight barn aud stable
connected.— Cor. N. E. Farmer.
TAX BARK FOR POTATOES.—The sub
ject is brought before the farmers of
England by a communication in the
Mark Lane Express. Mr. R. B. Bam
ford claims thirty-five years' practice
ami experience in this matter ; and j
lias issued a pamphlet giving his
nn.-tbod of using it, which is in brief
the following : He does not cut his
potatoes for setting, but sets them
whole, and the largest he can select.
The rows are thirty inches apart, and |
the potatoes are put nine inches from '
each other in the row. The laud is j
plowed only eight inches deep, treads
the manure firmly in the furrows,puts
in the tubers, and covers them in
with tan refuse, nine inches deep, in
stead of e .rthing up. In this way he
reports that in 1857 he raised 675
bushels of potatoes—not a rotten one
among them—to the acre, with noth
ing but waste tan as a covering.—
This is of great importance, the tan
refuse being of little or no value, and
ii' it can be put to so important and
advantageous a use as in this case,
should be widely known and prac
tised.
TREES STARVED TO DEATH. —The N.
E. Farmer relates a conversation
which took place between two far
mers on tiie subject of deterioration
in the apple orchards. The conclu
sion arrived at was that orchards, as
;t general thing,were literally starved
to deatli. This assumption may be
rather sweeping, but it is certainly
worthy of consideration. Orchards
! ft year alter year with the turf
pressed compactly about the roots and
1 wer section of the bodies of trees,
with no loosening of the soil, nor any
.pplieation of manure, can hardly be
expected to produce much fruit ; nor
do they. The soil needs stlring,
wants the aid of invigorating fertili
zers, and such prudent care as shall
divest the trees of all superabundant
wood. At all eveuts, orchadist should
avoid the just censure of starving
their trees to death, as it is asserted
many of them have done and are do
ing year after year.
MANURING TREES. —Too many, in ap
plying manure to their fruit trees.for
get the position of the roots, and ap
ply within a foot or so of the body.—
II they were to carefully remove the
soil,they would find that trees of vig
orous growth, and from seven to ten
feet high, have roots, that are really
the main source of nourishment,vary
ing from six to ten feet from the body.
The application ol manure, therefore,
to give the best results, should be
distributed around the tree at a dis
tance of from five to eight feet from
the trunk. In positions where the
turf is desired to be maintained, cut
and roll it back, put on the manure,
fork it in very lightly, and then re
place the turf.— Horticulturist.
ORCHARD. —Look well to peach trees,
shorten in, and see that the peach
worm is not at work. Pour boiling
water on the lower part of the trunk
near the ground, and if a sufficient
quantity be used, it will cook the
worm without injury to the trees ;
we have tried it fairly and are well
convinced that even three gallons
> f boiling water to each tree, may be
so used without injury.
Manure trees, and remember that
they require cultivation. Attend to
preparations of cions early, and graft
siich trees as require it.
WHAT is the difference between an
editor and a wife ? One sets articles to
