every way possible to anchor the
bridge SO securely that it would "stay
put" To prevent the undermining and
washing away of the dirt approaches,
two protecting wings" were added at
an angle on the upstream side. These
wings were planked up vertically, and
held in place by two extra cedar posts
and by masses of sod filled in behind.
The planking for the floor was then
spiked into place-leaving a narrow
space between each two planks for the
purpose of drainage. after rains. In
laying this plank the overlap was all
put on one side, putting down the other
side straight (by line) so as to neces-
state the saving off of but one edge.
Saving off IS feet of plank ends is no
fun, as I can testify, and if we hadn't
laid one edge straight there would have
been SO feet of trimming to do.
Surfaced 2X4's made the railing along
each edge, and, although this railing
may not be absolutely necessary to
a farm bridge, it makes it safer and
certainly adds gerat deal to the APP
pearance. The rails and supports are
painted white, and the finished struc-
ture has a neat, comfortable" look
which is entirely satisfactory to the
builders.
Tine last thing done was to spike to
the bridge, floor on each side, an in
cline-plank to help smooth the APP
proach. We can't afford to bump fruit
needlessly when hauling it across our
own bridge. This bridge has now
withstood the freshets of two spring
seasons. 1t is still secure and in work
ing order.-Walter f. Andrews, in Ohio

nothing he could get helped him in the

delight he soon found that the Drop
steal Swelling was gradually going
down and that the Rheumatism of the
Heart was also disappearing. He
says:

robbed the land of tame grass for the
making of good quality of butter.
Such cheap land pasture is where the

prefer bushes and briars to grass, and

MAKING A FARM BRIDGE.
The Structure Here Described Has
WithstoOd the Freshets of Two
Rainy Springs.

We have recently built new bridge
across the creek ON our farm. This
creek is the center of wide ravine-
pasture, and the peach orchards are ON
the high ground on the farther side. A
good bridge is therefore necessity to
US. The difficulty, however, has been
to get a bridge which would not be ex-
orbitant in cost and yet which would
be capable of withstanding the spring
freshets. The entire creek bottom
land is often overflowed, and ordinary
bridges are quickly undermined or
else they float away onto some other
fellows land. But think the problem
is now solved.
AS stone is scarce in our part of the
country (and as we are not million
aires) a wooden bridge was the only
thing to consider. The span of the
creek-bed proper is about 16 feet, and
the bill for the material footed up as
follows:
Three 6X6x1S pine stringers.... 3 90
Plank rail (2X4's), nails. ...... z IS
Paint As
Lid UOI g %
Eleven cedar posts. 10
lOtal ..9l4 20
The first thing done was to sharpen
and drive three cedar posts on each
side of the creek-bed, and three in the
center of the bed. Qhave placed black
dots on the accompanying cut, show
ing the location of these posts.) Next,
using some old planking from former
bridge, the outer side of each approach
was planked up vertically from the
creek-bed to the top of the posts.
Then the short spaces between bank
and abutment were filled in with old
logs, rubbish, sod and dirt-making a
nicely graded inclined approach on
each side of the creek. The inclined APP
proaches were necessary because we
desired to have the bridge floor as high
as would be conveniently possible, so
as to have it above the height of the
ordinary spring overflow.
Next, the stringers were put on and
firmly nailed to each abutment and to
the central supports. We tried in

JAPANESE JOTTINGS.

Chrysanthemums served as salad
are a favorite article of diet among
the japanese.
At a Japanese banquet it is con-
sidered compliment TO exchange cups
with a friend.
japanese cooks are the most cruel in
the world. They cut every atom Of
flesh off living fish piecemeal with
out first causing death.
The lower class of the japanese en-
ploy hardly any other material than
paper for their clothing. Where wages
are exceedingly low, cloth is an i'm
possible extravaganza.
Every hotel in Japan has a fan, spe-
cial to itself, containing view of the
hotel and a blessing from the writ
ings of Confucius. One of these is al
ways given to the departing guest.
Many Japanese women are under
going the slight surgical operation nee
essary to straighten the slant of the
eyelid, which distinguishes them so
Enthusiastically from Caucasian women.
The Japanese eat more fish than any
other people in the world. With them
meat eating is foreign innovation,
confined to the rich, or, rather, to those
rich people who prefer it to the ma
4 tional diet
