COMPLETE HORSE STALL.
It Shnld U Fire Vert Wide and Sap
piled with Lbor-Savln Com-trlYaacra.
The most convi-nient wiilth for
horse stalls is fie feet from center
to center. The i;ariitiims will usual
ly be six inches in witlth, which gives
net wiilth it fmir feet MX inches.
When necessary a narrower stall
may be useil. perhaps without .eri
ous detriment to the hoie. The
main objection is iiisul'ieietit space
trt care for him. l'.edilinif, cleaning
and harnessing are much more easih
and quickly done when the stall is
roomy. The floor should have r.n in
cline of two inches, and can safely
be built of cement, covering with
plank until one flooring of plank has
worn out, when the cement will be
toug'i and hard. The partitions
should be built vitln ut a standard
to support the rear end from floor
W) ceiling. This post often used al
ways interferes with the horse when
backing out. When not used, the
horse finds an easy swing of the bead'
over the partition, which need not
be over four feet high. The par
tition may be strong enough with
out this post. See cut. If n -Ixt
icantling (i a) is placed w.ith its
foot at the rear of the partition and
the Vp end of the ceiling above,

things would increase greatly the ap
pearance of their property.
The sketch inclosed shows a prae-
fical farm gate. In making a gate of
any kind see that it is wide enough to
admit all kinds of farm machinery.
The gate shown in the cut is one I
built some time ago. It hangs on the
corner of a barn and lends to the barn
yard. In constructing the gate I used
two eight-inch boards and one 12-inch,
to make the main strips, each strip be
ing four inches wide, except the bot
tom board, for this used an eight-
inch piece, to add strength to the gate.
For cleats I used the snme four-inch
stuff, nailing one on each side of the
gate. The main piece on which the
gafe rests is four by four, extending
about four feet above the top of the
ate. I mortised the strip into the
four by four to bold the gate when
swinging. A brace is tirniiy nailed, as
shown in the cut. The gate will swing
ither way, which I think is a strong
oint in favor of this kind of n hanger,

Every part of the body of an ideal
beef animal shows quality. It is this
that t .-lls the farmer whether a steer
with a good form will prove a profit
able feeder. It tells the butcher
whet! t the animal will kill well.
This is a point that cannot be over
looked and is difficult to describe.
Lack of it shows in a coarse, liesby
head; in a thick, meaty throat and a
rough, uneven shoulder. Coarse,

rrof. S. F. .lol'.nst.ui, of riirdue uni
versity, writes: If we would he suc
cessful in the culture of Indian corn".
v.e must lirst Know what the plant
retjiiii-es in-the way if food, water,
cultivation and climatic conditions.
Two of these lessons arc cany
learned, viz.: the fact that plenty 01'
water must be bad. and Hint the sun
must be generous in supplying heat.
We do not always stop to think just
whv the water is so necessary. If we
lid give more at ten! im to this thought
we should lie surprised, pernnps, to
find that the plant performs all its
functions of growth, cither directly or
indirectly by the aid of water ami the
sun's li;rht nnd beat. Xo food can
be supplied in a form available to the
plant w ithout first being broken down
end brought into solution Oy the w
tion of water. After the small par
ticles of rock and vegetable matter
are broken down and have passed into
solution thev enter the very small
rootlets of the plant nnd are carried
ulong in the stream until they have
passed nil growing parts of the plant
and nourishment has been taken out
with which the tissues of the plant
are built up. This stream of water
also nerves to keep the cells expanded
and in growing condition. When we
have come to understand fully the
structure of the plant we shnll see the
importance of carefully guarding nil
the conditions which influence its
growth. Cultivation of the soil will
hnvc a new significance when looked
nt from this viewpoint; nnd the fact
that there is only about half enough
rainfall in the state of Indiana to pro
duee mnximum rrops will also make
us want to understand better the
irrowth of plants, that we mav in
crease in all possible ways iheir de
velooment. Thus if we have a work
ing idea of the extent of the root sys
terns of cropsxknow whether they are
plants that get food readily, know
whether they demand large quantities
of a particular element in the Boll
in short, if we know something of
what the plant is and what it demands
as well as the means for supplying its
demand we can work intelligently-,
In production, therefore, of natural
products, constant care and thought
nre absolutely necessary.

A (light cold in the winter with fever, head
ache, backache; when the nose runs and the
eyes water and sorene& urtms to permeate
the marrow of tae bones; this is the begin
ning of Grip's deadly crup. The danger
follows in the shattered nervous system and
the derangement o( the heart or the digestive
organs as in the following rase:
"The last week ia Jnnu.uy I contracted
LaGnppe and was confined to my bed for
five weeks. My nervous system was com
pletely shattered, stomach, badly deranged
and bver in an almost dormant condition.
1 took treatment daily from my family phy
sician but could get no relief. My condition
continued to grow worse and as I had often
heard el Dr. Miles' mrdicinet I decidrd to
try them. I purchased a bottle of Dr. Miles'
Kestorjtive Nervine ar.d Nerve and l.ivcr
Pills. When 1 began taking the medicine I
had no appetite, couldn't &lep and was
scare !v aide to get around.. My weight at
this t ine was one hundred and twenty-four
pounds. At the end of the second week I
was a changed man, my appetite was beyond
control, my sleep was refreshing, my strength
renewed and my weight wait one hundred
and forty-two pounds. I never felt better in
my life than I do at this writing. 1 take
great pleasure in recommendm; Dr. Miles'
Remedies to the afflicted. If anyone doubts

The progressive farmer likes to have
a good road alonjr his farm, and is will
ing to work out his tax; yes, and a lit
tle more, too, fur the sake of having it.
The way to make your county fair
a success is to make just as big a show
ing of your live stock and farm prod
ucts as possible; get your neighbor to
do the same and both go with jour
families.
The more thorough knowledge the
farmer has of general principles, the
better he is equipped for his business.
It is his place to apply them and deter
mine what to do when the opportunity
arises.
Early plowing, rolling and harrowing
