RAzE OLD COTTAGES.
Ancient Buildings of England Be-

Houses That Have stood for Hundreds
Of Years to Be Done Away With
and "Jerry.Built Monstrosities"
TO Take Their Places.

London.-Now that an epidemic
seems to be on the point of setting in,
IL 1t has not already started, of pull
ing down old cottages which have
stood for hundreds Of years and re-
placing them, it is to be feared at
public expense, by jerry-built mon
strosities, it is of urgent Importance
remarks a writer In London Country
Life, to put on record the aspect and
ARRANGEMENTS of the old buildings
about to be destroyed.
The earliest existing type of cottage
in England has been admirably de-
scribed by Mr.. Sidney Oldall Addy In
his invaluable book, The Evolution
of the English House" Unfortunately,
that work lacks the profuse illustra-
ton it so we'll deserves, and the lack
is especially felt in respect to this
historically most important Of all the
types. Cottages. he says, of the ear
lier type are still found in Gloucester
shire, are common in Yorkshire and
Lancashire, and are doubtless to be
found in every English county" In
this, think, he is mistaken, for / can
find none of the type in question In
Kent or thereabouts, nor have l been
able to get photograph Of one from
anywhere.
leave the interested reader to re-
fer to the book for full explanation
of the term and the reasons in an
cient architecture for the dimensions of
a bay" THE principle of construc-
ton Of the house of one bay was SIM
pie. Two pairs of bent trees, in form
resembling the lancet-shaped arches
of a Gothic church, were set up on
the ground, and united at their apexes
by a ridge tree. The framework so
set up was strengthened by two tie
beams and four wind-braces, and was
fastened together by wooden pegs.
The bent trees or arches were placed
at a distance of about 16 feet apart,
and the space included between them
was known as bay"
These pairs of bent trees are
forks" lin Latin furcae) or they were
called "gavels," or "gavel-forks'
(hence the word "gable'O. Nowadays
they are called "croks," "crucks" OF
"crutches." Thus a cottage or barn
is said to be built on crucks." Where

CBy W. MILTON KELLY

(By w. MILTON KELLY
II has always been more or less of
an unsettled point as to how much
constituted bushel, or how much we
shall give or take for bushel of
vegetables. The consumer can sell
dom estimate how long a bushel or
barrel Of any kind of produce will last,
even though he uses about the same
quantity daily.
The size of the bushel is usually
regulated by the price of the article
bought, as with potatoes, II they are
cheap, the producer and middleman
give liberal measure, but when they
are high and they know that they are
masters of the situation, they give
the consumer very small measure.
They philosophically arrive at the con-
clusion that they should be well paid
for their produce and the expense Of
handling it.
At such times the measure Is not
carefully filled or rounded up and
the buyer has to take what is given
him. On the other hand, II the pota-
toes are cheap, the grower and the
middleman have lost the vantage
ground they held and are willing to
fill up the measures rounding.
The same by-play goes on between
the dealer and the man who buys the
article for his home use, only of
course, it is more skilfully played
than in the former case in order that
the dealer may make an honest living.
Who has not bought vegetables for
family use at different times and been
surprised at the difference in the num-
Der of pecks that constituted bushel
or barrel of potatoes?
How much more simple it would be
to place one or a dozen heads of cab
bage on a scale and sell it for so much,
The Madison journal. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1888-current, 1914-08-15

than 1t is to lump them off for SO
much a head. which is a tedious task
to both the buyer and the seller.
AS a general thing, cabbages are not
all Of one size or weight; very large
heads are often very tight, and unless
the buyer Is an expert in the business
he is frequently deceived by the ap-
pearance. Of the lot. The whole sys-
tenn Of selling vegetables by measure
instead Of by weight, constitutes
cheating game and places honesty at
a discount.
When beets, carrots and parsnips
are sold by small measure, it is i'm
possible to get down to accuracy and
the exact amount paid for. BY their
peculiar shape, these vegetables form
a temptation for dealers to cheat the
customers.
Barrels of potatoes vary in size from
one to three pecks and as there is no
inducement to pack in large barrels,
same price to the trade. Every deal
er should buy by the hundred pounds
and be willing to sell by the same
weights; but as 1t Is now, the dealers
want big weight of the growers and
to deal out the produce to the trade
by the measure.
1t is just as easy to sell vegetables
by the pound as it is to sell grain or
sugar and other commodities. and
there is no reason why the dealer
should not sell on the same basis Of
measure as he buys.
We have seen growers sell potatoes
on the city markets when every bushel
would make five pecks of the grocery
mans size we'll rounded up. 1t Is a
fact that these measures were further
reduced before they got into the
homes of the consumers.

with the old-time frill, and to have but
little flare.
There are still other models called
"Pantelettes" which have been in
evidence for few months past. These
were designed for wear with the dance
frocks, which. in order to have free
movement when dancing. were slit at
the side Of back. These pantelettes
are usually made Of crepe de chine and
trimmed at the bottom with deep frills
Of lace or plated frills of the crepe
de chine. The crepe de chine upper
part reaches to well below the knee
and fits rather snugly to the plain up

the trees are straight, the pairs are
called couples of siles," and there are
other local designations. The only ex-
ample Of this earliest type given by
Mr.. Addy is Teapot Hail." Dalderby,
or Scrivelsby, Lincolnshire.
In this case the angle timbers, like
the poles Of a Whymper tent, are
straight, so that even here we lack
perfect example of the type Mr.. Addy
says is common.
Out of this most rudimentary type,
says Mr. Addy, "the next evolutionary
step was to make the walls Z.
straight q. e., verticaD, while still re-
tanning the original construction. {.
The change was accomplished in the
following way: The ends Of the tie
beams which braced the 'crucks' to-
gether were heightened outwardly. so
that the tie-beam became equal in
length to the" width of the cottage.
Upon the tops, or at the ends, of these
extended, tiebeams, long beams,
known as pans (Yorkshire) or 'pons
(Lancashire), were laid, and then the
rafters were laid between the pans
and the ridge tree. Finally a side
wall was built ION each side) from the
ground as far upward as the 'pan,' so
that the pan rested on the top of this
wall"
Some of the early English grave
stones erected over the ashes of burnt
burials were evidently intended to rep
resent houses. One of the models
obviously initiates the simplest type Of
cottage. the one with the bent forks
rising directly from the ground. An
other incorporates the second type,
where the side walls have been made
vertical. The third shows a more
elaborate half timber building with
decorative patterns modelled or painted
on the surface OF the filling in the
manner described by Tacitus as en-
ployed by the Germans of his time.
Under these little models were the
pans containing the ashes.
