or cinders well packed Upon this put 3 or 4 inches of sod, grass side down, then plant the tree as usual.
 Early in April is the time to trim the early roses; that is, if the winters cold has not cut down the stalks so that further pruning is necessary. Cut out all the dead wood and weak shoots Keep the center of the plant open. Leave four to six eyes on each shoot.
 The generation of seed requires three essentials; heat, moisture and air. Therefore it is folly to put seeds into the ground until it has been warmed by the sun. Corn planting time is about the proper time for the majority of seeds.
 If you want to get some satisfaction out of the cosmos, SOW it in March and push it along as fast as you can. It does not transplant easily, therefore grow it in pots. Shift it along until it is growing in a nine-inch pot.Then sink the pot in the order and from the time the plants are six inches high until the end of July the shoots should be pinched out. This will keep the plants low and stocky. Long af- ter severe frosts your cosmos will be giving you beautiful flowers for the window.

BEAUTY OF DAY LILY

Everyone admires the Day lily which in later years has been greatly improved. Earlier there were only a few sorts to select from, but today we have a good range of colors and a long season of blooming. the result of the hybridist's art.
 Those who enjoy lilies in yellow shades in particular will find in this species much enjoyment and success for their efforts. This plant may be grown from seed or divisions of old plants. They are very certain bloom CTS and the season runs from about May 20 to September
 They may be planted at any time and will stand more indifference than most plants. Every plant lover should have some of the later introductions, as the improvement has been more wonderful in this than in any other I know of.

in many sections of the country be, cause of their neat appearance and smooth interior, which gives such splendid mow room. A roof of this shape is strong, because of the built up arches, consisting of heavy trussed rafters, placed six feet apart on cen ters. The rafters between these sup porting arches are equally spaced, so as to bring the bearings for the roof boards two feet apart.
 This barn is 36 feet in width and 70 feet in length, as shown by the floor plan and is intended for the stabling of Is cows and IA horses. The two stables are made entirely separate by building a solid partition crosswise of the barn, as shown in the floor plan. For convenience there are doors at the alleys that may be opened at chore time.
 One farm of from 40 to 80 acres, where one barn is required to stable both horses and COWS, this arrange ment works out in a very satisfactory manner. Yards are provided to keep the horses and cows separate when turned out, and they are as separate inside as they could be in two differ ent buildings. The yards are fenced in such way as to give the COWS free access to the building from the COW stable end, and the horses are always taken out or in at the horse end of the barn. Similar doors are pro, vided at both ends of the barn, and windbreaks are built according to the location, so as to protect both kinds of live stock to the best possible ad- vantage.
 The construction of this barn calls for good solid concrete walls with footings. The foundation walls are AZ feet from the bottom of the foot ings to the top of the wall where the sills are laid. The footings are "A inches wide, to prevent the possibil- ity of settling.
 Two rows of concrete piers are built under the supporting columns on both sides of the center alley. These piers and columns are placed to divide the stable into three sec tions, 12 feet each, which works well

finish and sanitary furnishings, thor ough system of ventilation is provided by intake fiues in the outside walls extend up the sides of the building and along the roof to the cupola on the peak. This system takes fresh air from the outside and delivers it at the ceiling over the COWS. Foul air is drawn off through the flues that have
 The horse stable end of this barn is finished in somewhat the same man. ner, except that the stall partitions and managers may be made of wood. In some sections farmers prefer wood en horse stall partitions. In some sec tions farmer prefer wooden horse stall partitions. In other sections they are made of wood to save expense. While iron stalls look neat and trim and add more to the appear ance and real value of the barn, they are not considered absolutely neces- sary.
 One of the most interesting features about the construction of this barn is the way in which the large hay doors are constructed. These doors are 10 feet in width and 12 feet in height. They slide up and down in iron grooves, so there is no swelling of the tracks to bother in wet weather. The doors are hung by counterbalance weights on A-inch ropes that play over grooved pulleys near the top. These weights run up and down in boxes built the same as window frames, so there is nothing to inter fere with their action. The advan- tage is that tine ar.nrs may be left part ly open or pulled all the way down, and they will stay in any position, re- gardless of the way the wind blows.
 When the big now is being filled with hay 1t is great satisfaction to leave these doors wide open so that the air can circulate through freely from one end of the mow to the other The doorway is big enough to admit large horse forkloads of hay without dislodging part of the load trying to null it through. This feature will be Appre ciated by the farmers who have

ble and ceiled on the inside with mar row flooring, tongued and grooved, but without beading. The intention is to make the inside finish as smooth as possible to prevent crevices where ob- 1ectionable bacteria may find a lodg- ment.
 The ceiling over the COW stable is made in the same way. Well-sea- soned lumber is carefully put on and thoroughly well-nailed with building paper between the boarding and studding and the jofsts overhead. This boarding is afterward thoroughly well painted with three coats of white paint made by grinding white lead in- to linseed oil This makes a ceiling that may be washed and kept clean. You can see that it is clean because it is white in color. It shows positive ly whether it needs washing or not.
 The partitions between the COW stalls are of iron, finished with hard smooth japan burned into the iron. The advantage of iron COW stalls is SAAetI lhO et1hOQAlL VI SQAldG0 bQ QC hCPt clean is reduced to the smallest pro portions and still maintain the neces- sary divisions between the COWS. Also the hard enamel finish offers very lit tie encouragement for dirt, insects or bacteria.
 The proper housing of dairy COWS, to produce clean, sanitary milk, has been worked out to a complete sci ence. Cleanliness is the main require ment. Unless the stable is so built that it may be kept clean it is useless to try to furnish milk with low bacteria count, such as is required for certified milk or other high-priced brands

WORK WITH THE FLOWERS
By JOSEPHINE DE MARR.

Do not neglect the winter garden, even though the plants are at their best. Turn the plants once a week; stir the surface soil; wash the pots with strong soapsuds; give plenty of fresh air daily; shower the plants once week watch for pests; see that the warm sunshine does not scorch your plants on warm after moons.
 Plants that are intended for bedding should be shifted as they fill their pots with roots, and give plenty of sunshine and air. Otherwise they will be leggy and weak.
 If you wish to get specimen cannas and dahlias, start few in the house early. Remove roots, stalks, and un- necessary fiber and cut into single eyes. Then pot in four-inch pots in rich soil; shift when the pots fill with roots. The canna, like corn, needs moisture and heat to develop properly.
 Let the hedge take the place of the fence where possible about the house grounds. If the fence is imperative, let it be hidden by a drapery of vines, Honeysuckle is the best permanent vine.
 California privet leads the hedge plants in popularity; then comes bar berry, Japanese quince, althea, buck thorn and some varieties of roses. For utility the osage.

 If you got gloxinia bulb this spring, when it blooms save the seeds, and next spring experiment growing these gorgeous bloomers. Fill we'll drained, shallow pot or box with fine, light soil; even it carefully and scat ter the seeds on it. Press the seeds into the soil with a flat block of wood Put a pane of glass on the pot and water from the bottom. They will bloom the first year, but the second year will greatly improve them.
 Don't transplant into the garden any sort of tender plant, or hardy one that has been tenderly coddled, until Jack Frost is gone.
 Don't forget that rotation in the flower bends and borders is as neces- sary as in the fields and gardens.
 Such hardy flowers as pansies, for get-me-nots and phlox, and the like, that have been grown in a cold frame and hardened, may be planted out six weeks before tender or hot house plants.
 Go over the lawn and if you find moss, rake it out. Cut well below the crowns of dandelions and plan tains. If possible, top-dress the lawn with leaf-mold or thoroughly rotten straw or manure.
 If you have a tree about the place that is dying, and you wish to renew it's youth, plant woodbine at its base and in very few years the tree will be covered with foliage and have waving banners more beautiful than in its prime of life.
 Dig deeply and thoroughly if early crops of flowers or vegetables are wanted No matter what the texture of the soil, light or heavy, it is always improved by spading deeply.
 When planting trees in clay or other heavy soils not we'll drained, follow this method: Dig holes 3 feet wide and 20 inches deep; place in them or 10 inches of drainage, rocks, bricks

 Another interesting feature about
 the barn is the number of windows
 and the neat way in which they are built into the sides of the stable. Mod ern farm barns require larger win dows than formerly. One reason is that farm stables contain more ami mals, but the principal reason is that we have learned the value of sunlight and daylight.

not support the former verdict, he
should go free.
Colone Eaves was charged with
having killed Charlie Webster at
Mt. Pleasant. He was found guilty
of murder in the first degree with NIT

made a strong plea for new trial
for him on the ground that the evi

his counsel will appeal his case to the
higher court.
