experience A few years ago he built
small barn, and in its construc-
ton used green willow posts at the
corners and along the sides For
some time nothing unusual was no
tieed, but after year It was observed
that where he had laid the floor near
the ground it was three feet above the
soil. He then discovered that the
willow posts instead Of being dead
were alive and had taken root and
were growing and that in their up
ward movement they had raised the
barn, Last spring the barn was on
stilts nine feet high, and he put in a
new floor and surrounded the posts
with siding. thereby making a two
story affair There is now a space
OF twelve inches between the new
floor and the ground. Crawley expects
