House architecture covers wide scope
In scientific studies. Z az Indians IN Ari-
iona in the early part OF the last cen
fury lived in a house OF distinctive tyne
which has thrown much light on the de-
velopment Of house architecture One
interesting discovery made concerning
the progress Of architecture Is that these
Indians used 20 throw scraps on the TOP
Of their huts for dogs. They found this
TO be good place for the dogs. then
built a rail around f. and placed chill
dren there Later they slept on their
roofs and ultimately they built houses
with two stories.

Quality in Nursery Stock.

1t costs n great deal OF money, n
great deal of time and great deal of
experience to grow plants properly
and these are facts which more intel
igent persons are beginning to realize.
The prices of plants to-day have not
been lowered by improved methods
and better knowledge: instead. better
plants are grown, both in kind and in
condition at greater expense, to the
producer and to the purchasers. Ger
tain kinds of stock can be grown with
greatest ease and consequent cheap
ness, and unbelievers having this class
In mind often fail to recognize quality.
The Carolina poplar has been instru-
mental In deceiving the puunc as to
he value of trees. Only a couple of
years are required to rear n tree of
respectable size for transplanting, and
the cost Is but few cents. They can
be grown on almost any ordinary
nursery ground, and need little or no
care. How different with an oak. or
even a Norway maple, where five to
zen years are invariably spent getting
.he seeding to a suitable selling size.
And what of the labor of transplant.
ing, pruning and Strengthening? Is it
possible to bring the three plants into
competition except as regards quality
and desirability? 1t Is here that the
1urseryman meets with discourage
nent and he is tempted to sell cheaply
and cut down his expenses correspond
lngly, to the detriment of his stock.
Training. health, vigor and careful
handling make tree that gives salts
faction to the purchaser and make him
ignore extra expense, and this more
generally recognized will bring more
confidence between the nurseryman
and his customers in their dealings

taiDed by the roots of the clover at
depths not reached by the roots of

Experiments at the Canadian station
show that the estimates for q crop OF

20,0T0 pounds of green leaves and

of four feet. and 3073 pounds of semi
decayed material on the surface Of

about 101 pounds Of nitrogen in the

When the entire crop is plowed under
the value of the nitrogen per acre, at

therefore be profitably grown as a

value as hay.

foot or so above the ground, on stones.
The roof Is double. sloping east and

1emlock boards, over which are laid
'wo thicknesses of tarred paper. well

coat of coal tar over all.
The ends of the houses are made in

In the south end on the right side Is a
1oor swinging outward, which is left
open every day unless the weather is
very stormy. A slat door inside is
found useful to keep the hens from
going out in inclement weather. At the
left OF the door is the only window In
the house. 1t consists OF two sashes
of ordinary size, which are screwed
last in their places and never opened.
For ventilation a hole six to eight
inches square Is cut high up in each
gable. During summer both of these
are left open, while in winter the back
one only is closed. The soil being nat
urally rather light, no special prepara-
ton for floors is required, further than
to fll up each house with sand to about
the top of the sills. The roost plat
forms are in the back side about four
feet from the ground, and are four feet
wide. The roosts, three or fo,.. in
number, are about one foot above the

forty fowls occupy one of these
