The Proper Way to Stack Hay and Grain to
Prevent Damage from Continuous Rain
and Snow Storms.

Prosccuted for Sunday Farming—Noted Roscommon
Sheep—Cotton Bagging—General Items of
' Interest to all Farmers.
There is no reason why every farmer* s
boy should not lea: n the ait of properly
stacking grain anJ hay. Nearly every far-
mer can stack grain after a fashion, but
not one out of lifty can build up a trim,
symmitrkal, rain-proof stack. Select the
site of the desired stack remote from the
shade of any building or grove, and ar-
jange the bcttom so that there will be a
free circulation of air underneath. The
plan of preparing a concave bottom, to
give stability to the lick, is not desirable,
on account of the natural tendency of the
layers of sheaves to settle into a concave
position also, and make a hollow in the
center of the stack, the very thinj most to
be avoided. Fix a firm, slightly convex
onndation out cf stout poles or scantlings,
and imbed in the ground short corner up-
rights, to give rigidity to the bottom of the
stack. ♦Put down first a layer of straw
and then begin the stack. Tut a circle of
sheaves, with the butts out, around the
convex center. Crowd them tightly to-
gether, and keep the butts on ah even cir-
cle. Lay another circle around the first
in the same way. allowing the sheaves of
the second circle to lap half their length
on the first. Follow the same practice un-
til the limit of the bottom is reached, and
then begin at the center again. A stacker
should l.e on his knees all of the time, and
compress the bundles snugly as lie follows
the circ'e around. Let the outside ring of
the second layer project very slightly over
the foundation layer, and repeat until the
midd'e of the desired stack height is
reached. Then place each successive layer
a little nearer the center, and gradually
bring to a tapering peak. It is of vital
importance that the center of the stack
shall be kept more full aud cone shaped
all of the way up than is really wanted.
It will flatten out greatly by settling. A
steep, smooth pitch is imperatively re-
quired in the "roof" part of the stack.
Straw should not be discolored by wet and
exposure more than a few inches on the
butts of the outside sheaves. It is a good
plan to cap the peak with a thatching of
broad-leaf marsh grass, and hang rails over
the penk connected by a hay rope, to hold
it 011. Grain properly stacked in the man-
ner described will como through wet
weather without damage to a kernel of its
growth if it is thoroughly dry when put
up. There is enough grain spoiled annu-
l!y on farms by bad stacking to pay for
the crection of many a commodious barn.

Distinguished Thoroughbred.
The thoroughbred horse Donovan, be-
longing to the Duke of Portland, is de-
scribed as being over sixteen hands in
height, extra well muscled, particularly 011
the back and thighs, with \¡.ery stout legs
and large, strong joints. He is of a pure
bay co'or except a star in his broad fore-
head. Although only three years old, lie
is so well and evenly developed lie appears
nearer to a 5-year-old horse. He won the
rich Derby pri'e the second 3'earin succes-
sion, and also this season the Ascot, nearly
as valuable, with several others. His
winnings of prizes thus far as reported,
amount to $170,000. The Duke of Port-
land is going to expend the whole of this
large sum in bui'.ding nice, comfortable
cottages for tenants on his magnigcent es-
tate of" Welbeck Abbey. I visited this
when in England some years ago, and the
head groom of the stable politely showed
me all the race-horses kept there. They
were not only fine animals, but of supe-
rior size, and stronger make-up than is
generally the case of thoroughbreds. The
present Duke of Portland is a .grand-
nephew of the Duke of that clay, his great-
une'e leaving 110 children. He was re-
cently married to a highly estimable and
beautiful untitled girl, of nearly his own
age. She is said to stand nearly six feet
high—quite as tall as himself. What with
obta'ning this rare prize, and those of his
horses, lie mav be considered a very lucky
man.—A. 13. Allen in American Agricult-
urist

Sunday Farming.
Texas farmers who have violated the
decalogue this summer in harvesting grain
on Sunday may find some consolation in
the following religious philosophy from
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:
In Koxbury, Mass., a man has been
prosccuted for hauling in some hay on
Sunday to prevent it from being spoiled.
There is no greater shame attached to
American character than a fear to use
Sunday for rational purposes. Millions of
«■ tons of hay have been allowed to spoil for
fear of offending God by drawing them
under shelter 011 Sunday. The result is
that amount of feed is subtracted from the
provender of our domestic animals, and
poor people have thus lost a large share of
their income. In thousands cases it has
Jed to suffering of animals and pinching
want of their owners. Cows unfed have
failed of milk to the loss of their owners.
But the worst feature of the case is the
manufacture of piety out of foolishness.
"When the Lord wishes men to neglect
crcp; on Sunday he will stop their growth
cn Sunday and Sunday rains. Two fanat-
ics in Lancaster, Pa., have recently prose-
cuted a farmer for getting in his hay on
Sunday ahead of a thunder storm.

breeds; the fleece became denser and the
staple long and lustrous. In early matur-
ity, quality of mutton, length and quality
of fleece, the improved Roscommon sheep
somewhat resemble the Lincolns, but tt«y
are lighter and far more active. The ewes
weigh from 140 to 180 pounds, fat weath-
ers from 200 to 300 pounds. The wool Is
soft, silky and lustrous. The average
weight of fleece is eight to ten pounds for
ewes, while full grown rams have yielded
clips as high as twenty pounds.
Roscommon Sheep.
The Roscommon is a native Irish
breed of sheep, which originated in the
old province of Connaught. The province
has from time immemorial been the prin-
cipal sheep-raising section of Ireland. The
Connaught sheep of the old style were
coarse, long-legged animals of very slow
growth, not attaining maturity and full
weight until three to four years of age.
But great improvement has been wrought
in the breed by careful selection and the
infusion of Leicester blood. By this cross
both carcass and fleece were greatly ame

Tbe Cotton Bagging.
New York.—I want to sre the cotton
planters "down" baggin? trust and Ithin'c
they will eventually sue reed, but I want
1o call attention to one feature of the fight
that must be watched. The world is very
bare of cotton and wants it so badly that
the price cf cotton on the spot in New
York and Liverpool is $3 to §7 per bile
more than that for delivery during the
winter months. All authorities concur in
saying that the demand in September and
October will be enormous at full prices;
and that after this demand is pretty well
supplied prices wi 1 go much lower. In
other words there will be a premium of $5
to $6 per bale 011 cotton marketed in Sep-
tember and 82 to $3 per bale on that mar-
keted in October.—Cor. Dallas News.
To Keep Swine Healthy.
Keep large and small separate and not
more than ten in a lot
Feed regularly and liberally of whole-
some food, always some bulky food, and
let each feed be eaten up clean before more
is given.
Give wallowing places ashes, charcoal
and salt, and plenty exercise in timber
pastures, yield shade, roots, acorns, etc.
Provide ventillated shelters from wind,
rain and snow, but no litter. Hogs with
litter get too warm. If you wish disease,
put your hogs in a straw pile.
Maintain cleanliness in all things.
Breed only mature animals. The off-
spring of immature or pampered animals
is predisposed to diseases.
Give pure water, from pure wells, pro-
tected from surface water. Water from
creeks (unless fed by springs), ponds or
pools is disease breeding.
Pigs should be farrowed iu early spring
and kept only on growing foods—milk,
brans, slops, oats, green rye, grasses,
clover, sweet corn—until late in the fall;
then fatten rapidly 011 corn mostly, but
also green rye, blue grass, pumpkins,
boiled potatoes and turnips, with bran,
steamed clover, hay, et?.
The Pi in re of Wales' home farms at
Sandi ingham now extends over 2000 acres,
says the London Truth. There is the Hall
dairy farm, on which are very fine herds
of Jersey and Kerry cattle, and a small
ilock of southdowns. The Wolfertou and
Babingley farms have the herd of short-
horns, the breeding flock of southdowns,
and the studs of hackneys and shire
horses. The Appleton Hall farm, which
was formerly tenented by the authoress of
'•Eighteen Years 011 the Sandringham
Estate, is given ever to less choice stock,
i. e., store cattle and sheep. II. R. H.
has nearly 190 hockneys at Wolferton and
about seventy sliirebreds, and there will
be a bieunial sale from these studs, the
first of which is to be held next summer.
There are ten brood mares in the thorough-
bred stud. Sandringham park contains a
very curious herd of wild, white horned
cattle, which descend from some animals
that were sent to the prince from Hungary
by Count Festetics.
Deacon Blank of Boulder counly owne I
a large farm and hired among other hands
a man by the name of Jacob. The cleacon
liad bargained that Jacob should have
bread and milk for supper every night, but
took good care that the milk was first
carefully skimmed, the cream for the
cream pot and the skim milk for Jake.
Jacob ate his bread and blue milk three
evenings wiihout a murmur. The n?xt
nv riling the deacon was awakened by a
great, co i motion in the corral. l ooking
out he saw Jaco') hanging to his b?st Jer-
sey's tail with one hand, while with the
other lie lelabored her with a bean pole as
she flew around the enclosure. "There,
gol dang you," said Jake. ' don't you ever
clare to give another drop of skim milk as
loug as you live." And the cl acon took
good care that she didn't.
Those who have read of the wonderful
achievements of the great milk producer
and her interesting family, Pietertje, have
been at a loss to kuow liow to pronounce
the name. The Holstein Register answers
a correspondent who sought information
on this point as follows: A correspondent
desires us to state the pronunciation of
Dallas B. Whipple's SO,(KM) pound cow,
Pietertje. This is a question for the
owner to answer, as he doubtless has his
own sweet way of rendering it. However,
we call it as though spelled Petergee.
Whether this name is the feminine of Pic-
ter in Dutch, as our correspondent inquires"5
we can't say, for like most other Ameri-
cans, we have concluded that life is too
short to learn that language.
In 1816 it took just one bushel of corn to
buy one poond of nails, now one bushel of
corn will buy ten pounds of nai's. Then it
required sixty-four bushels of bar'.ey to
buy one yard of broadcloth, now the same
amount of bar'ey wi l pay for twenty yards
of broadcloth. It then require I the price
of one bushel of wheat to pay for one yard
of calico, now or.e bushel of wheat wil,

RALPH'S APOLOGY.
Xhm L«Hon Taught by a Mother's lore
and Devotion.
As Ralph Darro w rode slowly through
the main street oí the little country
town of Greenfield one September day,
feeling very impatient that the stout
oak stick he carried could not urge old
Dolly into a pace faster than a jog-trot,
he heard the big clock an the Baptist
church strike twelve.
%
With the first stroke the blood sprang
to his face like a flame; but by the time
the last had struck, he was as pale as
It is possible for a sun-burned country
lad to become. Twelve o' lock! and it
was only six when he left home after
his early breakfast to go to Silas Ash-
ton's on an errand; and his mother had
urged him to make haste bavik, remind-
ing him that it was Monday, and the
water must be brought from the well
for the washing. Ralph had expected
to be away little more than an hour,
ior it was only two miles to tho Ash ton
farm; but after attending to tha errand
he had gone to loik at Luke Ashton's
rabbits, and then to try shooting at «a
target with a brand new pistol, which
proved such interesting sport that the
time slipped away without his really
being conscious of it. The recjlection
of his mother's charge to return as soon
as possible did not occur to him until
he heard an impatient neigh from
Dolly, grown weary of standing at the
hitching-post. He left then without
further delay, but his conscience
troubled him very much on the way
home; and the discovery that it was
twelve o'clock filled him with dismay.
Not only did he feel sura of a severe
whippiug from his father, but he knew
his mother must have suffered great
nxiety about him, jfrobably imagining
that he had met with some accident.
He was not surprised as he drew near
home to see her standing at the gate,
looking anxiously down the road.
"Ralph, my dear boy," she said, as
soon as he came within speaking dis-
tance. "I have been so worried about
you. What kept you so long?"
"I got to shooting at a target with
Luke and forgot all about the time,
mother,"" answered Ralph, in a low
voice, his face expressing his shame
and contrition.
Mrs. Darrow was silent a moment,
and then, as Ralph sprang from the
3; ddle, she laid her hand tenderly on
his shoulder.
"I am glad, very glad, for your sake,
dear, that your father happens to be
away," she said, gently. "He left
home just after you did, and will not
be back untii to-morrow."
Ralph drew a long breath of relief.
"But—who drew the water, moth-
er.1'
"I drew it, my son."
"Oh, mother, and carried it all to the
house?"
"Yes. my dear, there was no one
else to do it, you know. Your sisters
are too small to help me much."
Not a word, not even a look, of re-
proach! As Ralph led old Dolly to the
burn and threw down some hay from
the loft for her, he almost wished his
father had not gone away, for perhaps
if he had received a thrashing he would
not have felt so utterly wretched as he
did now.
A whipping was no novelty to Ralph,
for his father was a stern, hard man,
who believed in the use of the rod as a
means of discipline, and never spared
it. Ralph was an only son, and a
bright and talanted boy, but he could
not recollect ever having received a
word of love or praise from his father,
whom he feared and avoided. But he
loved his gentle, brown-eyed mother.
She was always loving, tender and
merciful, and shielded him from his
father's wrath whenever it was possi-
ble for her to do so, sorrowing much
that she could not convinca her hus-
band that it was better to govern
through love than fear.
As Ralph entered the kitchen after
feeding Dolly and saw the weary, worn
look 011 his mother's face, he felt more
conscious-stricken than ever, and could
not eat the dinner she set before him.
"But it isn't as if I was always run-
ning off and having fun," he said to
himself, trying to find excuses for his
conduct. "I hardly ever get an hour
to myself. It is work, work from
morning to night, and an awful crime
if I'm idle even ten minutes. And it
isn't fair. I don't believe any other
fellow would stand it a single day. And
I might beg on my knees from dawn to
dark, and father wouldn't give me a
pistol! I believe he'd thrash me if I
only mentioned such a thing!"
And thinking thus, raking up one by
one all the injuries of which he had
been the victim, and comparing his life
with that of several of his friends,
Ralph at length arrived at the conclu-
sion that after all he had not been
guilty of anything very wicked in
spending the morning at Luke Ashton's
?„nd that he had been foolish to allow
his conscience to trouble him for even
a moment.
And after that whenever it pricked
him a little he refused to listen to it,
and felt angry and impatient that he
could not forget the whole matter.
And he offered no apology 10 his
mother,
"So much would not be expected
of me if I were not always so willing to
work," he thought, resentfully.
"Father onght to have a cistern dug,
and a pump in the kitchen, like Mr.
Alton's. Luke never has to bring
water from the well, and I don't see
why I should.
Two or three days after the visit to
Ashton's, Ralph had the misfortune to
sprain his right arm in jumping from
a beam in the barn, and in spite of the
most diligent rubbing with a linament
warranted to cure all sprains, bumps
and bruises in short order, he suffered
a deal of pain and passed a sleepless
night He was standing in the barn-
yard the next morning feeding the
hens, when his father came out of the
stable leading the handsome black
horse he always rod e when going on a
day' journey.
• fCbi1 «tabla la U very bag ooodiOon,
Ralph,w he said, as he tightened the
girths of the saddle. "It looks as if it
had not baon cleaned for a week. Be
sure to attend to it to-day. The soon-
er you get at it the better."
"But, father, I have sprained my
arm, you know. I couldn't handle a
shovel to save my life," cried Ralph.
"Can't I hire old Moses to do it!"
"No. It is your work, and you must
do it."
"But, father "
"Not another word, sir," interrupted
his father, in a tone which always sent
the blood from Ralph's heart "I want
the work done and I want you to do it
Your sprained arm is merely an ex-
cuse to be idle. If this stable is not
cleaned when I return to-night I will
give you cause to regret it; and I pos-
itively forbid your allowing Moses to
touch it"
He sprang on his horse and rode off
at a gallop, heedless th it his son had
sunk upon a heap of laths, and had
covered his face with his hands to con-
ceal the tears that started to his eyes.
Mrs. Darrow had been standing bv
o
the kitchen window, and heard all that
had p ssed. She now came to where
Ralph lay, and bent lovingly over him.
"It would not be possible for you to
use your arm, I know, my 6on," she
said. "It would be of no use to try."
"Oh, mother, it gives me pain to
move it ever so little. But what can I
do? You know how terrible father will
whip me if the work isn't done, and he
won't believe I'm not able to do it"
"Don't worry about it now, Ralph.
We will try to find some way out of it.
I want you to go to Greenfield af ter
some groceries I need, and when you
return we will talk about the stable."
"Talking won't do aay good, I'm
afraid, mother," replied Ralph, as he
rose, and went to put the harness on
Dolly. "And I must take the whip-
ping, 1 suppose
He drove to the kitchen door on his
return from the village two hoars
later, and lifted from the light wagon
the basket of groceries he had brought
"Where is mother?" he asked of his
little sister Jennie, who was skipping
rope in the back yard."
"I don't know—she's been gone
ever so long," answered the little girl.
"Iguess she's in the stable hunting
11
eggs.
As old Dolly's hoofs struck the
stones of the paving at the entrance to
the barnyard, the doors of the stable
were thrown open, and Ralph saw his
mother standing inside, a shovel in
her hand.
"Back so soon, Ralph," she said,
cheerily.
But Ralph did not answer. He
sprang from the wagon, gave a hurried
look about the stable, and then, with a
strange, choking sensation in his throat,
threw himself upon a pile of hay by
the barn stairs, and burst into tears.
"Ralph! Ralph! my dear boy!" and
his mother bent over him, her own
tears falling fast.
"Oh, mother! mother! Why, why
did you do it?" he cried, when he could
speak.
"Because I love you, my son, and
would save you from a punisnment you
do not deserve. It was not so very
much to do, my clear; I am not so tired
as you suppose."
"Not very much ! Oh, mother, it was
a hundred times too much to do for
me," aud then Ralph sat up and with
arms about his mother's neck, uttered
in broken words that apology he had
longed but been too proud to make.
And what a load was off his mind
when it was done, and his mother's
tender kiss of forgiveness was on his
cheek! You may be sure that as long
as he had a home beneath his father's
roof, Ralph never again neglected a
duty to his mother.
It has been over forty years since
this incident happened which I have
related, but in telling it to me only a
few days ago, Ralph—grown gray and
wrinkled — could not restrain his
emotion as ho spoke of the long dead
mother to whom lie owed the only love
and tenderness his childhood ever
knew.—Florence B. Hall o well, in

Are found to be untrue.

Rheumatism and Catarrh.
Rheumatism and catarrh are boUt blood
diseases. In many severe cases they have
yielded to treatment with B. B. B (Botanic
Blood Balm), made by Blood Balm Co., At-
lanta, Ga. Write for book of convinc'-BC
proofs. Sent iree.
12. P. Dodge, Atlanta, Ga., Bars: *'My
wife had catarrh and nothing did tier any
good. Her constitution linaliv failed and
poison got into her blood. I placed her on
a use of B. B. B.. and to my surprise her
recovery was rapid and complete."
W. P. McDanM, Atlanta, Ga., writes:
"I Was much emaciated and had rheuma-
tism so bad I could not get along without
crutches. I also had neu/algia in the head.
First-class physicians did me no good.
Then I tried B*. B. B., and its effects Were
magical. I cheerf; Uy recommend It as a
good Ionic ahd quick cure."
Mrs. Matilda Nichols, Ivnoxville, Tenn.,
writes: 44I h:d catarrh si* years anda
most distressing cough, and my eye* were
much swollen' Five bottles of B. B* B.,
thank God! cured me."
John M. Davis, Tyler, Teiss, writes; "1
was subject a number of years to spells ol
infl immatory rheumatism, which six bottles
of B. B. B., thank heaven, has entirely
cured. I have uot felt the slightest pain
since."
The only path that surely leads to a life
of peace lies through virtue.—Juvenal.
