Modern Glass-Covered House
for Winter Gardens

The long, narrow grass houses used
by so many market gardeners are OBJ
solete. 1t is just as we'll to throw all
the inclosed space under one roof, SO
far as success Is concerned, and even
better on the score of convenience.
An Oregon man who tore down his
old glass buildings and erected in
their place one large, new building,
60 feet wide and $50 feet long, tells
how he did it.
The foundation walls were of rough
stones picked up from the fields and
put in trench one foot deep till they
reached ground level. On top of these
was built concrete wall four inches
high and six inches wide. The house
was built with one-fifth pitch gable
roof, having sash bars 80 feet long on
each side. This brought the ridge Is
feet above the beds; and the side
walls of glass were three feet from the
wall to the top Of the plate. The south
end Of the building was covered with
glass to height of five feet, and the
north end to a height of two feet;
the rest OF the SaDleS was c!OSeQ up
with lumber.
Four purlins. two on each side, were
run the whole length of the house.
Each of these was supported by II
posts, and the posts were tied and
braced sidewise. and two braces near
the south end used to brace the house
lengthwise. The sash bars were one
and three-quarters by two and three
quarters inches, with upper corners
rabbeted and the glass was IA by IA
inches, Tapped one-sixteenth inch, i'm
bedded in putty and fastened by nail
ing strip three-eighths by three
eighths by ten inches long above each
end. Eight courses of glass were laid
and then board eight inches wide,

Burbank, the Potato Wizard, Escaped
the Earthquake.
Santa Rosa was in the earthquake
region, and Santa Rosa is the place
where Luther Burbank has been play
ing the wizard Of science with fruits
and flowers. 1t is there that he has
been giving the world wonderful OBJ
ject lessons on the possibilities of
mclding nature in the service of man.
Therefore 1t is good news that the
Burbank home and the Burbank farm
escaped the ruin which fell upon many
buildings in Santa Rosa. The mar
wells which have been going on under
the eye and touch of this magician
will not be interrupted by the con-
vulsion Of nature which wrecked
May fortunes and massive edifces
and Knocked the hopes and expecta-
tions of strong and successful men.
Burbank's experiments have been
so brilliantly instructive and the re-
suits of his labors have been so won
derful that 1t is impossible to esti-
mate the value of the work he has
done for his country aid the world.
It may prove that he has added more
to the productiveness Of California
and the United States than all the en-
terprises which were wrecked or Grip
pied by the earthquake and the fires
which 1t kindled.

Right and Wrong Way
to Prune aFruit Tree

sre.tes sfhe poor job of pruning was

Dor who owned tree No. 2, and who
was an up-to-date horticulturist-
Oftentimes old apple trees may be
given new lease Of life and be made
to yield good profit by severely head
ing them back, forcing the growth Of
the lower limbs and shoots. This fact
only holds good when the trunks are
sound. Young trees should be
watched all summer to prevent the
growth Of branches not needed in or
der to grow a good head. It. is worth
while to pay a little attention to gov
erning the growth of young trees. II
should be remembered in applying
the pruning knife that work Of this
kind In the summer has a tendency
to check growth, while in the winter
the tendency is to increase growth.
1t is better to do a little pruning each
year, rather than to cut away large
portion of the tree in one season.
According to suggestion by the
Farmers Voice, the best plan is to &C.
quire mental picture of how the tree
ought to look when in proper condi.

That is to say, the lower limbs have
been trimmed off, but the owner has
made no attempt to check the trees
ambition to rival the elm along the
roadside in height. AS a result, he
has exposed the trunk of the tree to
the scorching rays Of the sun and
has made it practically impossible to
secure the fruit except by knocking
1t off with pole.
Tree No. 2 has been pruned as a
tree ought to be pruned. 1t has been
headed in from the top, giving it a
symmetrical appearance, letting in suf.
ficient sunshine to ripen all of the
apples evenly, but at the same time
shading the trunk from the too search
ing rays of the sun. The apples which
grow on this tree can be picked with
out difficulty and without bruising
them.
1t is an interesting fact that these
two trees stood on opposite sides OF
a line fence. AS may be imagined
the contrast could hardly have beer
