signed to give gratuitous instruction to
worthy applicants within the limits of
rules and regulations fixed by the board

outgrown the gallery accommodation,
land was purchased in the rear OF the
original building and a suitable struc-
ture erected thereon. Later, upon the
erection of the new gallery on its pres

of the accepted plans.

UTILlzING WASTE PLACES,

There are two things specially fitted
to utilize the waste places of the farm
trees and grass. The low and wet land
should be surface drained at least and
converted into permanent pasture or
meadow, while the side hills, knobs
and rough highlands should be got into
timber of some sort. Fruit trees, espe-
cially apple trees, will often do remark
ably well on these rough places If lit
tie trouble is taken to dish the ground
around the base of the tree so that the
moisture may be secured and retained
AS nice little orchard as we have
ever seen In the west is growing up on
a steep north slope, too steep for a
team to haul an empty wagon up.
Where the hill is very rocky and the
soil poor try the conifers-the red ce-
dar and the Scotch pine. These will
grow almost any place. For the wet
spots try redtop, and for the sandy
spots of the river bottoms try Hunga-
rian bronze grass. Blue grass will
cover most of the waste bottom lands,
but kills out badly from summer
overflow. The waste places along the
fences are best used by leaving a ten
foot headland and then seeding and
moving. The waste places on the high
ways should be used In the same man
ner.

So it was not surprising that the fol-
lowing morning Fairchild looked in
the hotel register to find where Miss
Sparkling had come from, but careful
study failed to reveal her name In the
book. A mystery surrounded her that
was certainly worth penetrating, he
decided, even without any thought of
becoming better acquainted with so
charming young lady, and he strolled

on the subject.
