bright and cheerful, having broad win
dow spaces. built-in seat, and a
practical fireplace A cased opening
connects the living room and dining
room, making practically one room,
and giving exceptional spaciousness
in cottage of this size. The ar
rangement between the kitchen and
lent housekeeping and few steps.
There is also direct connection be-
tween kitchen and front hall-a very
good feature. Too many houses are
so arranged that the living room has
to be chased through every time one
has occasion to answer the front door
bell, which not only disturbs those
sitting there, but also dirties this
room unnecessarily and makes too
many steps.
The bedroom is of good size, opens
off the front hall, and is supplied with
a large-sized clothes closet ventilated
and lighted by means of a good-sized
window. There is also a lighted
clothes closet for hanging coats and
hats, just beside the front door. The
bathroom has an inconspicuous loca-
ton, and is at the same time conven-
lent. 1t, too, has a large closet cor
linen, etc
Although the second floor of this
house is not important, still it fur
nishes a space for storage purposes,
is well lighted and ventilated, and
serves to keep the first floor cool.
Some people have objected to the
bungalow on the ground that it is too
hot; but, with an attic space of this
size, well ventilated, no trouble of
this kind will be experienced.
The exterior treatment OF this
house is in very appropriate bunga-
low style. Rough boards are used,
stained with creosote oil The foun-
dation courses, from grade to window

COMBINED TO DO NOTHING
of Two Darkies Who Met at
Henhouse Door.

A southern representative who lives
in a small village says that one night
not long ago, hearing a noise some
where in the neighborhood of his hen
house he arose and, under cover of a
board fence, crept to the place. He
could presently make out dark form,
apparently trying to force the hen
house door. Just then another dusky
shape rounded the corner and there
was CONSERVATION.
Who dat?" one demanded in a
frightened voice.
Me. Who dat?" was the trembling
reply.

Toms hen'ouse dis time OBJ night?"

Muffin. All amt dom muffin

was the compromising suggestion.
And have always been sorry that
l felt called upon to interfere in so
interesting thing as 'doin' muffin to-
gedder," the representative concluded
with a smile.

Statistics of Electric Motors.

The total horsepower of electric mo.
tors in use in the United States in 1902
was ASH, 140, as compared with 1872, 93G
in 1899, or an increase of nearly a
thousand per cent, While the number
of electric motors increased from &c..
891 in 1899 to 3S8,854 in in 1903. The
increase in the number of gas engines
in use in the last fiye-year period was
nearly twice as great as in the first
half. Total horsepower of manufactur.
ing establishments was 1S,6SO,77G in
1909, as compared with 13,4S7,7O7 in
1904 and 1O,097 1893 in 1889. Ninety per
cent. of the horsepower in 1909 was
that of motors owned by the manufac-
turing establishments, and 10 per cent.
was rented power, most of the latter
being electric.

Possible Cancer Cure

Great popular interest has been de-
monstrated in Germany in the use
of mesothorium as cancer cure
Rich persons are solicited to give
money with which to secure this ma
terial for charitable institutions, and
in other places various means are re-
sorted to for the securing of funds.
This material is secured from the
thorium waste OF the gas mantle in.
dustry, and, while it seems to have
been very beseficially used in thera.
peutics, the physicians say that it is
too early to put entire faith in the
remedy. For the therapeutic use a
tiny particle is inclosed in a silver
covering pierced with minute holes;
the box is placed upon the part at
fected with cancerous growth. and is
said to slowly. but surely, eradicate
the disease.

Sir Robert Ball.

In the death of Sir Robert Ball at
the age of seventy-three science loses
one of those rare Interpreters who
bring her wonders within the compre-
hension of the multitude. Like the
late Lord Avebury (Sir John Lub-
bock), Sir Robert Ball had a faculty
for simple writing which he employ
ed in the production of such works
as 1.-THE Story of the Heavens, Star
land" 'In Starry Realms" and In
the High Heavens" These books prob
ably did more than any others of the
kind to stimulate the study of astron-
omy and make it popular. The people
of this generation owe a large debt
to Sir Robert Ball The debt was
freely acknowledged in his own coun-
try, where he received substantial rec
ognition from the government, from
scientific societies, from schools and
universities. 1t has been less freely
but still sufficiently acknowledged in
this country, where his books have
sold well, and where he was a most
welcome and appreciated guest on
more than one occasion.-Brooklyn

Currants in an Orchard.

We grew over SO tons of currants
last year. They were produced alto
gether among the fruit trees, and were
rather helped than injured by the
shade. Among the Versailles, Cherry.
Fays Prolific, the latter seems to he
most productive. The cultivation is
all done with cultivator About a
ton of dry blood per acre is used for
fertilizer. The plants live 20 years
or more if the old wood is kept cut
out. Picking costs about one cent a
pound.

sive development, although other sec
tons of the United States are now
crowding the favorite regions of the
Pacific coast in this respect,
1t may be said, in all frankness,
that any prospective home builder
will do well to study carefully the ad-
vantages of the bungalow for his
home which he is to build the coming
spring. For those desiring a small
and inexpensive house, particularly,
the bungalow offers great advantages
The original ideas of arrangement,
as well as the unique ornamental
schemes that are characteristic of
bungalow work, make it possible to
design and build a home-like, cosy
house Of individual appearance for
the same cost as the plain, everyday
cottage.
An example in point is the artistic

The next step in order is the prun-
ing of trees, as the seasons growth of
wood is now thoroughly ripened and
there will be no bleeding" from the
pruned branches, nor will there be
any checking of development among
the branches, both of which often
comes as a result of spring pruning,
since one is apt to put off doing this
work till the sap begins to rise, or
neglects to do it at ALL
Next years fruit crop depends
largely upon the efficiency with which
the pruning is done at this time The
uniform distribution of branches,
height of the trees, and the health in
general of all parts of them left for
bearing fruit-all have their infiu-
ence. Branches should not be left
so long and slender that they will not
support a goodly burden of fruit.
As rule, all water sprouts, those
straight shoots running directly up
ward from the main branches, should
be removed. Limbs that are seen to
be partly dead or decayed should be
cut back until one is sure no part of
them is left, as it would but invite
further decay, and the sustenance
drawn by them would be a useless
drain on the vitality of the trees.
All tall, thick, or top-heayy trees
demand close and careful pruning.
Fruits which are reared high in mid
air are not as exempt from the ac-
ton of the wind as if they were low
er down. The top of the high tree
itself is very apt to be caught in the
high wind and damaged, perhaps ru-
ined, by being broken down or torn
up by the roots

The word bungalow" is an Anglo
Indian term, meaning in India a
species of rural villa, a house of light
construction, usually of unbaked brick
with matched roof The bungalows
which are the residences of Euro
peans in India are of all styles and
sizes, according to the taste and
wealth of the owner. In it's earlier
use by white men, the word "bunga-
low" was taken to denote a lightly
constructed habitation, not exceeding
one story in height, and presumably
designed for temporary occupation.
But during the past few years bunga-
lows have been built in both the Un!-
residences, and are constructed with
every regard for permanency.
They are built with heavier stud
ding and bracing than the bungalows
IN California, and are sheathed solid
outside and covered with heavy build
ing paper and siding shingles. MANY
of them are provided with open fire
places, although the old-time signif-
canoe of the word contemplated an
upholstered building with no facilities
for heating, since it was designed.
presumably, for summer occupancy or
tropical habitation.
In America, the bungalow idea first

The low.down uniformly pruned
tree also will produce more fruit, and
of a quality superior to that of the
tall tree, while the ease with which
the fruit is picked from the low trees
recommends them to all
The ends of all low-hanging
branches also should be pruned back,
foot, or with a vehicle in harvesting
the fruit crop, which not only makes
the picking handler, but avoids dam
aging the trees by peeling and break
ing up the limbs.
After the pruning is completed, all
pruned limbs should be removed
from the orchard. the smaller ones
being utilized for filling up washes
about the farm. the larger ones being
hauled to the wood pile and used for
fuel Where limbs of considerable
size have been sawed off, the stub
should be given a thick coat of paint,
which will guard against the wood
cracking during some of the very
warm days that usually come before
winter sets in.
Then this paint serves to hold the
wood together during the severe
freezing weather of midwinter.
Where it has been necessary to cut
down whole trees that were dead
or badly diseased. a note of these
should be made so that one can fill
in their places next sDring with new.
young trees of the same varieties.
1t is also well to remember here
that the old and diseased trees not
only take up valuable space in the
orchard. but they are liable to spread
disease among the healthy trees, and
they always harbor pests that are in
furious to the entire orchard

Profitable Horse Breeding.

The most profitable horse breeding
in France, Belgium, Scotland, Eng
land and America is done on the in
tensive plan on farms of moderate or
small size by farmers who are good
common-sense horsemen with taste
for doing things well There is ample
room in the United States for much
more horse raising on this plan, and
we have always had too many inferior
brood mares, too many cheap stall
lions, and too many cheap horses hunt
