In my youth helped to take down
barn which my father inherited from
his mother, and which had stood forty
years without reshingling. The shin
giles were of a style long gone out OF
use, feet inches long, laid feet to
the weather. with a narrow edge lap,
and fastened with only one nail to each
single upon narrow hewn ribs. 2 feet

shingles were shaven thin. except the
lap-edge of the exposed portion, ard
the roof. when new. was not over about
half an inch thick in the thickest
parts. But these shingles, after forty
years of exposure, still shed water
well, and were almost as sound as when
laid. except Immediately upon the ribs.
This experience led to sort of life
long study Of roofs. l have seen
shingles laid upon closely-matchcd
boards; into freshly-laid mortar; over
paper; over old shingles; upon very

but the entire roof went to rapid decay
and was removed in a few years. Dur
ing the past year an article on ''laying
shingles" was widely published and
met with much approval, evidently be-
cause of the learned manner in which
the writer. q Michigan man. makes it
as clear as mud that by laying l8-inch
shingles only four inches to the
weather q very large saving is eff
fected. OF course, If three courses

the roof must be so per cent. thicker
and must cost 80 per cent more for
shingles. nails and labor. How any
body but . shingle-maker or dealer
can figure an economy out Of that is
beyond my comprehension, but the
writer claims to do 1t, and many peo-
pie claim to be able to see it In lay
ing 18-inch shingles six inches to
the weather, with well-broken
joints. every joint in the exposed
course has two thicknesses of shingles

softness commends its early cutting
for young stock.
The most effective way to de-
stroy bus hes and briers effectually is
to cut them off close to or under the
ground in winter time. Take sharp
axe and cut just under the sod, ex-
cept where there are too many stones.
The briers when frozen cut off with
a heavy scythe very easily. Burn the
brush. and then in spring the stock
will eat off the young shoots while

Once red those livd lips now rent with signs;
That strangely hasgard face has once beeu

The CLINT Of FURNISHED gold is in her hair.

A vail goes up: 'Oh God can this be rest:'
