A farmer ouht to think of this before ho 'lieates. his barn half a mile from his dwelling. We know a welbto-do farmer, who built his barns forty rods. from his homo at least twoa-ty rods furthor off than there was any call for. Twenty rods is one-sixteenth of a 'mile- Ho and bis man go to tho bain at least four times daily on an average. In going and returning,' they would travil one half's mile eaeh, or both one mile daily, whioh might have been saved by a ju lloioua loeition. One mile a ds is three huudred and sixty five miles year. In thirty ytars it will amount to nearly eleven thousand, miles trav. enough to perform a journey to Europe and bok, or 'overlaal to Ca IfWola. "' A farmer Wilds' a' new houie.
