how to plan to meet all requirements
and still have a combination of style
and effect that will be in keeping with
the residence. Another very import
ant thing in a study of this kind, which
is often lost sight of, Is the great de-
STABILITY of the building being rat and
vermin proof as near as possible. First,
the site should be level one and the
foundation so built that only few
inches will be out of the ground. Then
fill the inside ground level with the
wall with good. solid dirt, free from
loan or vegetable matter.
Study the needs of your stable just
as you would those of your kitchen. Be
sure to embody in it everything that
can be of use to you. Let it be labor
saving building in economy of mater
ials used as well as in the other re-
quirements involved. The more
thought you expend in this direction the
more of a success you will have. Be
sure to plan SO that you will have a dry
base and plenty of air under the floor.
Good ventilation Is the life of all good
ensue. Good drainage is also neces-
sary. Carefully graded and construct
ed stall floors, with drain connections
which can be washed out readily, are
important from a sanitary point of
view especially. In fact, the occupants
of a house or stable have most to gain
from hrst-clasS drainage ana venula-
ton
This building was erected as model
of its kind, and has proved to be so. 1t
is in every way desirable for it's uses
and is good example of what prop
erly equipped stable should be. There
Is one large box stall with hard dirt
floor. The carriage room Is floored
with tongued and grooved plank two
inches thick; second story with ordin-
airy flooring. The foundation is of
stone. The structure above the founda-
ton Is strongly framed; the first story
finished with drop siding; second story
and roof, shingled. The roof is left
Imprinted; all other wood work is
painted two coats. The width of the
building is twenty-five feet, and the
depth eighteen feet The height of the
first story Is eight feet, and the second
story up to the rafters. The cost of q
structure of this kind would naturally
vary with the market as influenced by
local conditions, but it could probably
be built in most places for about $500.

If you want to ask sheep where he
got his wool and why, take dog into
a mountain pasture band and if the
sheep are afraid of the dog they will
Invariably run uphill rather than down.
You have your answer. The ancestors
of the domestic sheep, like wild sheep
Of the present day, lived among high
mountains and needed their woolly COW
ering to protect them against the con-
slant cold of high atmospheres. They
chose the high and inhospitable region
to live in because they fond the fierce
hesh-eating animals of the plains too
strong for them. A proof of these facts
Is that the wool grows on a sheep the
year round.
