Apples should never be baked in
tin, which darkens both apples and

Filings for Baked Apples.--As
variety is the spice of life, even in
baked apples, here are a few good
filings that may be used from time to
time. Nuts are specially nice for
this. Any kind may be used, but pc
cans, black walnuts, hickory nuts or
butternuts are perhaps best. For
dozen large apples, a cup and a half
Of the meats will be required. Chop
fine and mix with sugar, allowing

A half banana sprinkled with sugar

GOLFERS CURIOUS DRIVE.

Playing From a Treetop-BaII That
Bounded Back to Starting Point.
An odd incident occurred on Satur.
day during match at the Golf Club
de Paris, near Versailles, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. Two players in the open
amateur championship were at the
fourteenth tee, when one sent his
drive up tree. The ball remained
fixed between two branches; a caddie,
climbing up, discovered it's presence
there.
A great consultation arose as to
what should be done. The committee
was hastily summoned and stood be.
meath the spreading branches of the
tree, much in the fashion in which st.
Louis dispensed justice in a primitive
France. Evidently the ball was not
out of bounds. Finally the judges de-
creed that either new ball should be
dropped on the tee, counting two, or
the ball should be played from the
spot. To save the point, the golfer
bravely Skinned up the tree and play
ed his ball from the embracing fork,
making, indeed, quite a good stroke.
Later in the afternoon from the
same tee witnessed another curious
incident. The player had driven, and
his ball.. striking the sand box of the
ladies' tee, fifty yards ahead, bounded
back to its starting place. The player
then drove into the bunker with his
second shot, which is also something
of a performance.

Doors for Barn Gable

There are several ways of hanging
gable doors for the hay-fork, some of
which are illustrated in figs. 1 to 5.
Where the hay is removed from the
load with sings, the doors must have
a width nearly equal to that of the
load itself, and in the diagrams the
door is represented as II feet wide by
IL feet high. To make perfectly sure
that the loaded fork or sling clears
with the coarsest hay, the door is safer
made IL by IL where the dimensions
of the barn will permit of this.
In fig. is represented the gable
door hinged at the bottom, so as to
open outward and downward. In this

the door, to provide a rope passing
over pulley in the gable. In order
to make the door as small and light
as possible, q window, which may be

A plan for a COW stable with several
new features has been designed by F.
M. Logan, commissioner of live stock
and dairying for British Columbia. In
the illustration the construction of the
floor, stall and manger are shown. The
floor, which is of wood, is inexpensive
and will last probably ten years. A
concrete floor may be preferred, in
which case the method of lying pre-
vents the animal slipping into the gut
ter. The gutter should be 10 inches
ceep and IL inches wide.
The walks behind the cows are five
feet from the gutter to the outside of
wall which will be sufficient if the
manure is taken out with litter car
rier, but If it is to be loaded into a cart
and taken away with horse, the sta
BILE should be made three or four feet
wider, so the passages will be wide
enough to admit of cart and horse.
The passage between the two rows of
COWS is six feet in width, and in feed
ing green feed in summer, the horse
and wagon can be taken along this
driveway and the COWS fed direct from

Of the stable will allow this to be
done if your wagon is not more than
six feet in width. The first foot or two
of the walk behind the COWS should
slope toward the gutter, so that any
