The buildings of a l'arm constitute no small part of
the equipment necessary in carrying on operations, and
In many ways they are an Index of the prosperity of
the owner. If the returns from the annual crops leave
to the farmer a surplus over living expenses he usually
plans to erect a new barn, or a new house, or to Im
prove those already standing. There Is, however, a
great diversity In the forms of the buildings required
In different parts of the country. In the West the first
care of the settler Is to put up a house of such style and
pattern as his means will allow. It may be only a sod
hut, a shack, or It may be a pretentious frame house.
After the dwelling Is provided he seeks to build a stable
for his horses ; the barns and silos do not come until a
later stage of development Is reached, for they mean the
Investment of a considerable sum of money.
A marked Improvement Is to be noted in the appear
ance of modern farm houses, as compared with the older
styles. There was a time when size was the only con
sideration, and the structures stood out square and stiff,
with no artistic effect, either in themselves or in the
surroundings. The Intercourse of city and country has
helped to Introduce new ideas In this as in other matters,
and the farm residence of to-day shows some architec
tural taste In lis design.
Ham building has also undergone a change. When
timber was plentiful, the framework of a barn or stable
contained an unnecessary number of posts, beams and
braces. Itising prices demanded an economy In the use
of wood and lighter structures are now the rule, the
plank frame lielng the extreme development of this Idea.
In concrete the farmer has found a material that serves
many useful purposes. For foundations for walls of
bank barns, for stable floors and for minor structures,
such as cisterns, watering troughs and even fence posts,
concrete Is coming to be recognized as the most suitable
material.
In the utilization of water for Irrigation purposes, and
the harnessing of water falls for power many new prob
lems will be presented to the farmer. Though compar
atively few are situated In parts of the country where
these operations are carried on, yet the prospects are
that these agencies will play a part In the agriculture of
the future.
THE "SUNSET LIMITED."
Oh, Ilush-a-bye Land is a beautiful place
Foe sleepy small people to go,
AnJ the Koek-a-bje Itoute is the favorite
one
With a certain wee laddie I know.
The track lies on sleepers of feathers
and down,
No accidents ever take place ;
Though there's only one track, and
there's only one train,
But it runs at a wonderful pace.
There are beautiful things to be seen on
this route,
If you're good you may talse just a
peep ;
Hut strange as it seems, they are seen
lest In dreams ;
Bj sure that you soon go to sleep.
Say good night to the Sun, for he's oil
to bed, too
He can't hear you, so just wave your
hand ;
The Mcon and the Stars they will light
up the cars
As you travel to Ilush-a-bye Land.
So, quick, jump aboard, It is time to be
off,
You have nothing to pay, you young
elf;
Just think of the luxury, laddie, you'll
have
A whole sleeping car to yourself!

honipson to Billy White, had seen it,
that it was useless to dispute it.
lie excitement regarding the thost
ns at its height when something more
tartling than ghosts was at first whis
pered, and then boldly talked over, and
that was robbery.
Those who were not burdened with
i abundance of this world's coods
were frightened, and those who had
plenty were in a panic, nnd between
Its ghost and Its losses, quiet Bellvill
was In a state of alarming excitement.
Joe Benton hud bid Annie Wntson
good night, and gone whistling toward
homo, when suddenly a tall, white fig
ure "rose out of the ground," he said,
and Joe's valor went into his heels, and
the way he ran must have astonished
the ghost.
Joe was rallied mercilessly, hut not
long, for the ghost appeared to his tor
mentors, and their laughter turned to
seeing which could run the fastest,
they or the ghost.
The Im.vs took to staying at home
nights, greatly to the delight of anx
ious mothers. They were not afraid of
a million ghosts, not they, but they
didn't feel very well, with a groan, nnd
were going to IkxI.
Tom Wadleigh was passing his vaca
tion at Bellville and, as he was 10
years old, he laughed scornfully when
his 10-year-old cousin told him of the
ghost. "Why, Harry," said he, "there
Isu't any such thing as a ghost Moth
er says so, and she knows."
"No, she don't," retorted Harry, "for
I beard Ir. Smith tell cousin Carrie It
frightened his horse so he ran nway
and smashed his buggy all to pieces."
"Why didn't he find out what It
was?"
"He was going to when It scared his
horse."
"I should like to see It." said Tom,
boldly, "has It ever been seen here?"
"No, Indeed," gasjK'd Harry; "yes.
there It is now, right by the window."
"It is the 1110011 shining 011 the cur
tain," springing out of IkhI and going
to the window. "How beautifully the
moon shines."
His heart almost ceased to beat ns
he leaned from the window, for right
tielow him walked the ghost Sparks of
fire Issued from Its mouth, nnd It
loomed up teji feet at least Some said
fifteen or twenty and some that It was
night," exclaimed Carrie, as he entered
the breakfast room next morning.
"Why don't, they catch the ghost?"
he asked absently.
"The ghost," laughed Carrie. "I
should say the thief."
"I should say it would be more to
the purpose," said his uncle.
After breakfast Tom wandered down
by the fiver; climbing a tree he was
soon lost In thought Presently hear
ing a crackling of twigs he looked from
his leafy screen and saw a man rapidly
approaching. After looking cautiously
around, he placed a package In a tree,
took a line and hook from his pocket
and strolled down to tne river.
Tom's curiosity was aroused, and as
the man disappeared he slid down from
his seat and went to the tree. What
was his disappointment in not finding
any anerture. Being determined not
to give up, he looked more closely, ran
his hand over the bark and cut here
and there with his knife, and at length,
to his great Joy, found It Putting In
his hand he drew forth some' dried
leaves, then a miscellaneous collection
of pocketbooks, packages, watches and
Jewelry. He looked at the articles In
amazement
After deliberating a long time he con
cluded to carry It all to his uncle's and
well satisfied with his success be has
tened home.
"O Tom," cried Harry, "mother has
.lust got a telegram from Aunt Eliza.
Uncle John Is very sick, and she wants
her to come right on.
"Tom," said his uncle, ns he took
him to one side, "I am going with your
aunt, and there are five hundred dol
lars lu my chaniler that I want you to
take care of. Carrie has gone to Dr.
Hall's house to stay for a few days,
and there will be only Harry and tie
servant In the house. I drew the mon
ey yesterday for Mr. Wilson, and you
window he saw the terror of the vil
lage at the door.
Little thinking the window Tom had
left unfastened was a trap, the unsus
pecting ghost was soon in the silent
house.
Sparks of fire Issued from Its mouth,
a stream of blood flowed from Its
breast, and Tom shuddered as he crept
noiselessly up the stairs. The burglar
had scarcely entered the chamber
when there was a loud report, and a
voke said authoritatively as he fell to
the floor with a shriek of dismay:
"I have six bullets left, 6ir ghost If
you make any resistance I shall use
them."
"O, you young villain, you said there
wasn't a weapon In the house," groan
ed the man, tearing off his ghostly at
tire. "Very true." The only one I knew
of was In my own pocket."
"My leg Is broken. Help me up."
"You are quite comfortable."
A savage oath broke from the man's
lips, and he coaxed and threatened al
ternately. Finding neither availed, he
raised himself and dashed for the
door. There was a flash, a quick re
port and the man fell down the stairs
where he lay senseless.
The housekeeper now made her ap
pearance, and after binding him se
curely, they watched him until morn
Ing.
"You have done It now," said the
burglar, on recovering, "I wasn't hurt
at all before."
Such a time as there was the next
day. Men, women and children gath
ered about the house. A good deal of
laughter was heard when they saw the
red paint they had taken for blood.
When the excitement was at Its
height Tom's uncle appeared.
"Well, you have done bravely," he
said, on hearing the story. "I guess
that paper has something to do with
your fine gentleman."
Tom took the paper. A thousand dol
lars reward was offered for a notorl-1
ous burglar. He had left the city and
the officers were after him.
The Joy of the people was complete
when Tom brought out the treasure of
the hollow tree. He received mauy
gifts beside the reward.
Bellville has never had a ghost since.

"You wouldn't have It long to care

Artificial Exercise for the Bowels and its
nameTs "CASCARETS."
Cascarets are the only means to exer
cise the Bowel Muscles, without work.
They don't Purge, Gripe, nor "upset
your Stomach," because they don't act
like Cathartics.
They don't flush out your Bowels and
Intestines with a costly waste of Digestlvs
Juice, as Salts, Castor Oil, Calomel.
Jalap, or Aperient Waters, always do.
No, Cascarets strengthen and stimu
late the Bowel Muscles instead.
These are the Muscles that line ths
Food passages and that tighten up when
Fod touches them, thus driving that
Food on to its finish.
They are the Muscles that turn Food
Intj Strength through Nutrition.
Well, a Cascaret acts on your Eowel
Muscles as if you had just Sawed a cord
of wood, or walked ten miles.
That's why Cascarets are safe to taka ,
continuously in health; and out of health.
Because they move the Food Naturally,
digesting it without waste of tomorrow's
Gastric Juice.
They thus work all the Nutrition out of
it before it decays.
