den s. The greatest damage, however,
was done on Brattleboro street. where
the new state road is in process of
construction. Work had progressed
fairly satisfactorily, despite the lodges
and excess water in the drains, until
this heavy downpour, when the trench
which was down to the required depth
on High School hill was filed level full
of earth by the torrent.
The real damage, however, was
caused on the hill near NJ S. Leach 5,
where the water running in a newly
dug trench undermined the sidewalk
and caused more than 25 feet of con
crete walk to fall away.
Previous to these setbacks there was
an opinion among men competent to
judge that J. T.. Helyar, who has the
contract for building the road would
lose money Oh the job, and now they

Are you giving that young foal the

must be we'll nourished and given

The foal should be taught to eat
grain very early. BY placing the feed
box from which the dam eats her grain
now, the foal. at about two months OF
age, will begin nibbling with the moth
er. and will soon acquire taste for
the grain.
A pen built in one corner OF the
field made high enough to keep the
mare out and allow the colt to pass
under will make it possible to feed
the fOal grain with very little diff

and it will soon learn to go in it.
SELF Keep a liberal supply Of grain.
preferably oats and bran, and perhaps
some cracked corn. in the feed box.
To induce the dam to loiter about
with the colt, have the pen near q
shade tree or the salt box.
By weaving time the foal will have
become thoroughly accustomed to eat
ing grain and will wean very easily,
besides being in better condition as
a result of this additional feed.

For this reason the buffet sideboard |

For this reason the buffet sideboard
is built against the back end of the
dining room to avoid any unnecessary
obstruction in the main part of the
room. The living room and dining
room are both made especially light
and airy by two triple windows and
three single windows. The present
fashion is to have plenty of light in
the living rooms, and it is good
fashion that should remain in vogue
for the next thousand years. The his
tory of house windows reads wider
with each century.
An interesting feature Of this house
is the manner in which the stairway is
built To commence with, there is q
grade entrance at the side of the
house which leads down into the cellar
and up into the kitchen, combination
that is used in great many modern
houses. The same economy of space
and travel is employed in the stairway
to the second floor and to the attic 1t
doubles back from landing halfway
between floors. The landing is pro-
vided for by an extension built as q

space saver to give plenty of length
of stair run with wide treads and easy
risers. The extension also contains
windows to light the stairway. and as
it is artistically designed it adds to
the general appearance of this side
of the house.
A study Of the second-floor plan will
show that every square foot of floor
space works to advantage. There are
four bedrooms and four clothes closets
all arranged on straight lines without
shutting the light from any window
and without any useless corners. Such
a splendid arrangement of rooms is
considered quite a triumph of skill on
the part Of an architect.
There is practically no wall space in
the upper hallway; it is all taken up
by the necessary doors. Even the
linen closet is filched from the bath

Probably the most economical house
design for the nothern sections of the
country is square-built two-story
house with good basement 1t is a
good sensible way to build and it
solves the heating problem in winter
with greater satisfaction than any
other style of house known to the
American builder
The principle Of the circulation of
warm air applies splendidly in q COM
pact two-story house. The tendency
OF hot air Is to rise, because hot air
is lighter than cold air. In applying
this principle the cold air is taken in
from outside through the cold air boxes
and is sent through the furnace to the
rooms on the first floor during the
whole "a hours. The upstairs regis
ters usually are closed during the
daytime in cold weather because the
surplus heat from the first floor finds
its way to the upper rooms through
the stairway. The upper rooms are
also warmed to certain degree
through the floors This is written with
warm air furnace in mind. The same
principle applies to a certain extent
when the hot water system of heating
is employed.
The house shown in this design is

to be plentiful. but they went out of
fashion 20 years or 80 years ago. They
are now coming back into use because
OF real merit.
The floor plans of this house are
just as interesting as the perspective.
There are three living rooms and a re-
ception hall on the first floor and there
are four good square bedrooms and a
bathroom on the second floor. The
living room and dining room are con-
nected by an archway wide enough so
that the two rooms may be made into
one by opening both doors clear back.
