Tho texture of butter depends partly
on tho auimnl, partly on feed, and
partly upon tho temperaturo of tho

Most of tho old-faMiioncd barns were
built with a view to economy, nnd
were made as rarrow and cramped as
possible. luo standard width seemed
to be enough for a wagon loaded with
grain in the straw to bo driven in nud
for the barn door to be closed behind
it. Tho floor was also narrow, so that

is rather curious that farmers tried to
economize so much in lumber when
Iho woods were full of it, and larger
framed buildings might bo made with
scarcely any more expense. When far
mers began to build barns with base
ments, aud having only ono entrance,
the barn was necessarily made wider
and its floors broader, so that a loaded
wagon could be driven in and the team
be driven out beside it. A roomy barn
floor is very convenient for storing
many kinds of farm tools, but wagons

WATERING HORSES.
Freiudico dies hard, but the hardest
of all to die in the minds of grooms is
that it is injurious to give a horse, a
drink of cold water when ho is heated
from exercise. Years ago, when I used
to train horses for racing in India, I
grappled with this prejudice, aud clung
to it with such tenacity that I used
constantly to have my horses "off"
their feed after a strong gallop. One
day I returned to tho mcsshouse very
hot nnd very tired alter a long run,
and suddenly thought tit to mentally
put myself in tho place, of a race horse.
"fthnll I have," I aslted myself, "u
better appetite for breakfast if I re
frain from drinking till I havo cooled
off or if I havo a drink right oil?"
Knowing that I could not cat heartily
unless 1 had, first of nil, a drink, 1
look it, and thereupon felt to tit to
cat, and went so strong over a couro
of beefsteaks, hain and eggs, quail,
muffins, etc., that 1 roEolved to try tho
same treatment on my horses. My
lead was attained witn such success
that nowadays nil tho trainers in India
give ineir race horses abont naif a
bucket of cold water to drink im
mediately after a gallop, and with tho
best results as regards thoir nppotite
and health. I have not alone never
seen, but have never even heard or
read of, rniy harm to a horso from
tirinuiug com water wuen be was
heated. I have, however, seen hnn
dreds of cases of colio occur in horses
from drinking water of ter being fed on
occasions when they had, previous to
eating, been deprived of water for
somo time. Were all grooms to fol

Coidell, of iieutouville, Ark., iihIuu;;
for a good pluu for keeping cabbage
iu large qnuutitief. Last winter I
visitod an old friend in Missouri nud
taw for the first tinio a plnu that com
mended itself to tuy mind, and my
frieud, who was then trying it for the
second year, was highly pleased with
th result. If I can explain it to the
satisfaction, of your correspondent, J
think ho, and porhrtps many other
readers of this department of tho
Tribuuo, may find it, equally satisfac
tory to them. Tho plan consists of a
succession of ranks, deluding for
number and length upon the amount
of cabbngo to bo stored. ' My friend
hnd abont an acre of good cabbage
and hud about throe i ranks ronto fifty
feet long. Tho wholo, stalk ispullod
up ami all nre rankcdup to n 'height
of abont two feet, reversing ends of
altcrnnte stalks, which of course, kept
tho ranks level. A spiyio is loft bo
tween tho ranks, which Eposes every
head of cabbage to view tho moment
tho covering is removed at the end.
Now for tho covering. 1 Forks were
driven into tho ground, sjity two feet
high, or just a little highn'r than the
rauks of cabbage, and atotitl enough t
bear up tho covoring, ando driven as
to take a pole along both ttidos of each
rank, and on theseuiro laidWoss poles,
which hold tho ce-cringnp. Straw
or spoiled hay wasS piludnlong tho

and so rouuded up list n stank to turn
water, tho cuds being Closed tip iu liko
manner, and tho workWns done. It
was the last of JanuaryAl8;)4, that I
was thero, and they had! been having
cold weather twenty vdegyees below
zero. My friend had vnn order from
his mcrchnut for a load of cabbages,
and ho asked me to go with him and
see how they lookod. A prettior pio
ture could not havo been mado from
the same material than was preseutod.
The alleys being opon, we had a clear
view ; tho frost shone along on tho
solid wall of heads, but not ono was
injured. Of the thousands of heads
in thoso ranks, every . ono was ready
for market When a iload was taken
out, tho end was closodup again ; the

efforts to learn tho previous habits of the
victims of the epidemic In the matter of food

A short time ago the country was horrified

the result that nine pilgrims, including two

DRINK WAS THE CAtlE.
Noticing a rather forceful looking man do
ing menial service ou a steamboat aud in
quiring of the mate about him, I was told
that the mau a little while ago was drawing
a salary of tl5 a week for skilled work.
Now be was getting only that much a month
for work that tho most common tramp could
perform. On asking the cause the answer
was: "Drink reduced him, aud I know many
more just such cases, meu of abiluy who
once held good positions but aro now doing
the cheapest kind of labor." It is tudeed
true that many of tho men whom you may
meet Iu society's uio.st degraded level wcro
once meu of place and inlluouce. Their deg
radation has come through drink. Kuroly
nil sentiment that looks to the destruction of
the liquortrafllcsuould be earnestly fostorod.

War destroys, and at tho sniuo timo

separably linked together. Tho dis
covery of gunpowder caused a com
plete revolution iu tho manufacture
of iron. The mixing of sulphur, salt
petre and coal as a toy had been
known for a long time. Hence, to
speak of tho discovery of gunpowder
in the fourteenth century ouly refers
to the application of powder during
that oeutury for tho pttrposos of war.
To credit tho Monk Bertold Schwarz
(or Black) with the discovery of gnu
powder is incorrect. However, his
invostigatious into tho nature of
powder and its constituents for use as
an applicable forco iu guns produced
a radical change iu the then customary
warfare, and from that standpoint
Bertold Schwarz deserves to bo rec
ognized as tho promoter of modern
warfare Many hundrods of years
bofore Schwarz tho Chinese usod gun
powder. Tho invention of Meld guus
is credited to tho Chiueso Kmperor
Vitcy, or Wu-ti, who lived Hp years
B. C. During the oleventh century
the Tartars learned the use of gun
powder from the Chinese. Tho Arabs
acquired the knowledge of gunpowder
from tho Tartars, and aro said to have
used cannon at the siege of Lisbon, in
11417. The Greek fire was invented iu
