McDevitt Driving Peter Mac.

The following of thoroughbred and
trotter by common consent give the
palm to the former when it comes to
furnishing the spectacular, but the adj
mirers of the light harness horse are
sound in their claim that the trotter
yields more all around enjoyment than
the galloper.
Take, for example. the experience
of Capt David Shaw OF Cleveland, o.,
who owned some of the fastest cam.
paigners on the trotting turf and who
is at present the possessor of young
stallion which many horsemen of re-
pute consider one OF the most phenom-
email young trotters that has yet
shown.
This aged enthusiast, Captain Shaw,
who has passed his eighty-second mile
stone, not only owns Peter Mac.

sufficient for five rooms and a good

ing room. And it is good-sized sun
parlor, being IL by IL feet; and light,
because two sides are mostly inclosed
with glass.
The sun parlor and the open porch
are supposed to look to the southeast
to get the morning and forenoon sun,
and where it is shaded from the sun
in the afternoon. The front porch
has the same advantage Because OF
the wide roof overhang it is not neces-
sary to build separate roof to cover
this porch.
A study of the plan shows a very
neat connection, between the living
room, sun parlor and front porch by
means of three doorways. The corner
entrance steps are built at the end OF
the porch to leave space of about
10 feet 6 inches free for the proper
placing of porch furniture without In
terfering with the free passage in or
out of the front door. Such little
things mean a good deal in the real
comfort of a home.
The floor plan shows the two bed
rooms and the bathroom on the north

pected in bungalow The dining
room is Is by IL feet inches, this
large size being accounted for by the
window extension.
There is an extra large pantry and
a very convenient kitchen. In fact,
the kitchen is one of the most pleas
ant rooms in the house, which is per-
fectly right, because the woman of the
house usually spends a great deal of
time in the kitchen Modern kitch-
ems are built as carefully and are per-
haps a little more carefully finished
than the other rooms. The modern
idea is)to have the kitchen thoroughly
sanitary, which means in the first
place that it must be light and well
ventilated. The kitchen furniture
should be plain, but as well designed
and as well made as any other furni-
ture.
Kitchen cabinets and other conven-
fences for the proper care of kitchen
utensils demand as much or more skill
and ingenuity than the more snowy
parts of the house.

BY WILLIAM 4. RADFoRp.

Real bungalow architecture is gain
ing in popularity. Habitations of this
character are typical of California, be-
cause that is the section of the United
States where artistic bungalows were
first built
The bungalow idea is supposed to
have originated in Africa and to have
been adopted in most other warm
countries.
The prevailing characteristics of all
bungalows is the low general appear
ance and the wide-spreading roof. The
roof overhang on some bungalows is
as much as six or eight feet. to protect
the sides of the house from the hot
sun. In a great many sections of the
arid west the sun shines very hot in
the daytime, but the air is so dry that
1t is always cool in the shade If a
house is shaded it is cool on the west
ern slope, even on hot days. Eastern
atmosphere contains great deal more
moisture and is much colder in win
ter, SO that eastern bungalows are
built little different.

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported of the wheat crop OF Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate of an average yield over the
three western provinces OF upward or
25 bushels per acre. There is no
portion OF that great west OF $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price OF
the land out of this years crop Of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told In the
language of the railways in the added
cars that it, has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton
mage of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The G. p. r. earnings for the second
week OF October showed an increase
Of S762,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings Of the corresponding week
Of 1913, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date. The
increase in G. p. X. earnings for the
corresponding week OF that year was
only 1851 900, or less than half Of the
increase reported this year. Tho
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources OF the Canadian roads as
never before. despite their increased
facilities The G. p. II. is handling 1000
cars per day, new record. The
G. r. X. and the G. N. II. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the W. Grant Morden, on the Can,
ada Steamships Company. the largest
freighter of the Canadian feet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down cargo OF
476,315 bushels. a new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are go
ing by the board in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port OF New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th. when since shipments
OF the new crop began In August.
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
OF American wheat from the same port
in the same period And, be it remem-
bered, Montreal, not New York, Is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal. Adj

New Zealand Bird Sanctuary.

While exploring a wild tract of coun-

a mining engineer, Mr.. R. E. Clouston,
made a discovery of Importance to

a waste of untouched bush and tus-
sock the explorer found colonies OF
birds, including several species which
were believed to be nearly if not quite
extinct. Among them the kalfapo, or
ground parrot, whose plumage, in va
rious shades Of green and brown, ex-
actly matches the color of its usual
trunk. Here, also, were other parrots
