SOLDIERS HOME NOTES

Work on the morgue is at a standstill.

mouse by Baltimore hrm. Ihls red .
tiling is made in GAINESVILLE, Ohio.
The two wings Of the roof of barracks
No. are being slated, but it will re-
quire some time to get the central part
of the roof framed.
The forty foot clock tower is up. The
dial of the clock is four feet six inches
in diameter, and above this a huge bell
weighing 1900 pounds will be placed.
The dining hall is 2lSx54 feet, 16 feet
high and will seat about 1900 people.
1t will require about seventy-fve mem
bers to wait on the tables. The hall
will be completed III September.
Since j. L. Linyille has had charge
of the carpenters that branch of the
work is going right along. Being an
old contractor he knows how to push
things. He is the right man in the
right place,
Stating has begun on one end of the
big mess hall, but the flooring has not
been completed. All the outside walls
are furred and lathed, and plasterers
have arrived from Philadelphia to begin
work at once.
The Bedford stone for the fountain
in the court yard has arrived and is
being unloaded before the side-track is
taken up. The fountain, which will be
eighteen feet in diameter, will be very
ornate and will be completed this fall.
Work on the hospital group is going
right along. Mr.. Kendall and his force
of pasters are doing some fine work in
the four wards and the kitchen. When
the administration building is finished
it will be one of the finest jobs IN the
country.
About ten car loads of hospital sup
plies are stored in the different wards,
among which are 26O wardrobes pur-
chased from the Tennessee Furniture
and Supply Company of this city. The
dumb-waiters have nearly all been
placed and four hand elevators are be-
ing put in.
About 800 tons of coal are stored in
the bunkers and outside, but it will
probably be a long time before the
boilers are fired, as there is large
amount of work yet to be done at the
power house. Imported men will prob
ably do the work, as it is thought com
petent men can not be secured here.
Painters are making good Roadway
on the hospital group. The basement
floor is nearly all cemented. The steam
and water pipes are in and ready for
painting and covering, but it is hard
to tell when steam will be turned in
perhaps September-a it depends on
the progress made at the power house
Mr.. Sweet is getting along nicely
with the iron work in the attics of the
hospital group. There you will see a
vast amount of piping placed and the
big galvanized air ducts that carry the
foul air out through the roof and fill
the building with fresh air. 1t is big
job to get such a lot of pipes properly
placed.
! A great deal of mosaic work has been
in the closets of the hospital group. A
great deal of this kind of work will be
done in the administration building
in fact more or less in all the buildings.
John Marconi, who has charge of this
work, is an expert in his line. He will
also place the marble wainscoting in
the closets. The marble is from Knox.

being scarcely five per cent of total
sales. So far, only a few societies have
been IN a position to sell eggs by
weight; nevertheless. nearly all buy
in that manner. a least weight being
fixed as a guarantee against under
sized eggs. This manner of selling
has. nevertheless. been adopted by
other German towns with the best re-
suits. For packing the eggs. wooden
boxes. with cardboard apartments,
ire used. The result of this cooper
alive method has been To increase the
price received by producers OF eggs.

Chickens and Orchards.

AS all fruit growers agree that the
young orchard must be cultivated dur
ing the sumner. some PIT: the soil into
vegetable; which is not Objectionable
if they co net draw too heavily on the
soil fertility; one good way of turn
ing this work TO profit is To permit the
young chicks 10 use this orchard as a
run. There will be sufficient growth
of the trees To provide shade for the
chicks. and If light cultivation of the
soil is done the chicks will pick up
many insects. Ii is good plan to

Importance of Cleanliness.

We co not intend TO repeat any
further how essential feature OF
successful dairying is the observance
OF proper cleanliness. but at the last
meeting OF Eastern Ontario Dairymea
DR.. Connell gave some fresh figures or
the question which afford further con-
firmatiCa of the position held by all
progressive dairy workers.
The doctor gave the results of an
alyses OF milk taken from cows under
the different conditions as to cleanli-
ness. IN one case-where the cows
were brushed before milking. the I'D
ders wiped, the stable kept in a thor
oughly sanitary condition. and tho

bacteria were $500. In another case.
where cows were milked under tho
average conditions which prevailed on
the ordinary farm, the number OF bac-
terra was 10000 To IL drops. The bac.
