FACTS ABOUT E
OF Particular Interest to Farmers
Who Believe in Beautifying
the Home Grounds.

1t is said that the chestnut tree lives
300 years; the oak, 1000 years, and
The yew, 1850 years.
An oak of average size, with 700, 900
leaves, lifts from the earth about 1873
tons of water during the five months
it is in leaf.
Experts assert upon investigation
that the fir trees of western Washing
ton grow from $50 to 300 feet high and
are from five to IS feet in diameter,
and are stronger than the oak of the
Atlantic coast.
The.catalpa tree is ornamental, fast
grower, hardy, and it's wood is becom-
ing of value. It makes the best of
fence posts, is fine furniture wood and
recent experiments have proved that
it is the best material for making
paper. The cultivation of the catalpa
is liable to be a paying industry in this
country in the near future.
The sneezewood tree is one of the
many curious products of South Africa.
1t is SO named because one cannot cut
it with a saw without sneezing, as the
fine dust has exactly the effect of snuff.
1t is very bitter to the taste, and no
insect, worm or barnacle will touch it.
The coloris light brown, the grain very
close and hard. 1t is a nice looking
wood and takes a good polish. When
placed in water sneezwood will sink,
and for dock work, piers and jetties it
is a useul timber, as it lasts a long
time under water.-Farm, Garden and
Poultry.

surfaced oak lumber and has a double
lap slate roof. 1t has a foundation of
stone pillars, but I think sewer pipe
preferable, being cheaper, r%atproof,
and, if filled with concrete, practically
indestructible.
The wagon and machine shed is 10x
80, shielded against n side of the
crib. Balloon frame, sided with hard
pine and rooted with felt, the slope
not being sufficient for slate. A els
tern occupies one corner, while all the
rest is available for storing farm
implements. A small door is in one end
while the other is a full width door
hung on rollers, the end of the crib
making a place for the track. The
cistern while not really necessary is a
very convenient place to store water
for a dry time or for use in washing the
express wagon or buggy. Do not build
the wagon-shed too small, as no mat
ter how large it is it is nearly always
filled to running over.
AS the above building was erected

She Won the Seat.

A middle-aged woman, who had evil
IDENTIFY lunched too well, stood up in a
crowded L car holding to a strap and
swaying m~ournfully, late this after
noon. In front of her sat an elderly
man deep in his paper. He wore an ag-
excessively high silk hat, and as the
woman bobbed about the hat came up
under her chin and grazed her neck.
She scowled at the hat from Franklin
to Grant streets, and then her feelings
were too much for her. Bringing down
her disengegd hand with a tremendous
thump on the crown of the hat, she
startled the whole car by exclaiming, in
tones of intense and bitter contempt:
SECT up, you old dude, and give a lady
a seat" She got the seat.-N. Y. Cor,

Dry Quarter. for Horses.

In the days of muddy yards it takesa
surprisingly short time for even a few
horses or cattle to tramp a moderate
sized lot into a genuine quagmire, and
it is a positive shame to ask horses
Tor cattle, either, for that matter)
to lie down and rest in such disgrace
full quarters. At that, however, it does
not much matter how much asking is
done, the horses will not lie down. In
stead, they will hang around the driest
spots in the yard, where the mud Is
leastdeepa and chew and gnaw all night.
They keep awake, and must have some
thing to do, so they get into n of the
worst and most annoying habits that
ever cursed a horse, young or old
