A part Of the above is an estimate
and hence only approximately accu-
rate; but the estima ties are conserNa-
tive. as to quantity and figured at the
lowest market values. No account is
taken of the small vegetables con-
sumed during the summer. The home
owns about 50 acres of ground, rents 46
acres more. OF this about u or Is acres
are cultivated, the balance is in pas
ture hay or occupied by buildings.
These facts and figures not only show
the wisdom of having this land. bur IS
a strong argument in favor Of procur-
ing more.
Improvements,
The most important Improvement this
year, if not the most important since
the establishment of the home, is the
heating plant. The hot air furnace for
the main building and stoves for the
other buildings We're inadequate and
very unsatisfactory. The last legis-
lature appropriated $1,000 for a heat
ing plant The governor reduced it to
$4,000. Under ordinary conditions this
would, possibly, have been sufficient;
but there were peculiar difficulties at
tending the construction of this plant.
The ground is very level and the water
near the surface. 1t was deemed
necessary to eXcavate about eight feet
in order to get the fall for the gravity
system of heating. This involved the
handling of a larger amount of water
and the building of cement walls for
