FINE FLOWER GARDEN

The residents of our city are all
taking some little pride in their lawns
ths; wear and there are some very hne
ones, good to look at, some are set
ting out flowers, all OF which
beautifies the home, but there is no
one in the city that has the interest
in flower that is shown by Mrs. A.
r Compton opposite the Ed Ross
Mace. Her home is veritable gar
den of flowers and of many varieties
among which we name the Phlox,
Pansies, Mignonette, Poppy, Gilly
flowers. Sweet William, Zinnla.
Beponias, Peonias, Chrysanthemums,
roses. rambler climbing roses, moon
Snow Balls, Pink, Crimson, and white
dahlias, and the beautiful peonas,
flowers or Ipomea, Oxalis and other
varieties. making one of the beauty
spots of the city, she takes great
pride in her flowers, and well she
NAV. for it is not only pleasant
task for her raise them, but is a most
pleasant view for those passing. She
certainly deserves much credit.

4 SUCCESSFUL BUILDER

w. w. Davis, the local contractor
and builder, has just completed the
work of changing the floor and stage
of the Mutual Theater. Among the
improvements is the orchestra pit
established by lowering the floor
about twenty inches Immediately in
front of the stage. The pit is protect
ed by railing and is so constructed
that it can be covered and the floor
space used for dancing. The stage
has been reconstructed doubling the
floor space and by the addition to
two conveniently arranged dressing
rooms. All this has been done with
out changing or affecting the two
main entrances to the auditorium Of
the theater which are on either side
of the stage and under the dressing
rooms.
On Wednesday last Mr.. Davis con-
cluded a contract with Owen Bott,
the Aurora druggist for the construc-
ton of a modern building at Nina
to be occupied by drug store which
Mr. Bott intends to open at that
thriving town.
Mr.. Davis has been resident OF
Mason Valley since the Town of Ma
son was started. Previous ~ his
arrival in Lyon Comfy he was at
Rawhide having been one of the first
to go to that camp. During the boom
he conducted large carpenter shop
which was completely furnished with
modern and expensive wood working
machinery. AT the fire this with his
extensive collection of tools was en-
tirely destroyed. Since coming 10
this community Mr.. Davis has estab-
lished large and profitable business

besides acquiring interests that IN
sure the permanence of his residene
in Yerington.
His reputation as a skillful and
conscientious artisan extends through
out the western part of the State, in
the various towns of which he has
erected many important buildings. He
will leave for Nina to perform his
contract the first of the coming week.

In some parts of Europe a butter is
made of fine clay, and in other regions
various kinds of earth are sold in the
open market. The Persians use some
varieties of soil in making their sweet
meats, while in Mexico the eggs of
certain species of flies are used by the
indians in making food paste, which
IS regarded as great deIicacy.
Some of the arctic tribes allow
their fish to decompose, when it be-
comes to them the same savory deli
cacy that limburger or harzer cheese
is to us, while, in point of true frag-
rance, the palm remains to the fish.

studs are placed on top Of this wal
To protect the ends of the studdine
and prevent them from rotting they
are placed in studding sockets made
of cast iron These sockets are ina-s
bedded in the concrete and present
one of the best ways of constructing
frame barn structures. Holes are pro
vided in the sides of the sockets 50
that they can be nailed to the upright
timbers. Post sockets are also pro-
yided for the double row of posts that
run through the center of the barn.
The construction of the feed room
shows very careful attention to details
The sliding door that shuts this room
off from the rest of the stable is
placed on an inclined track so that it
is self-closing. This prevents the
horses from getting into the grain and
eliminates the possibility of someone
forgetting to close the door.
Above the stable is NOW that can
be used for the storing Of hay and
straw. The roof is of the self-support-
ing gambrel type so that a large unob-
structed space is left in this upper part
of the barn. A dressed and matched
flooring is placed under this so that
no dust or chaff will fall down into the
stable.
A vertical sliding hay door is pro
vided which does not take up any valu-
able room and cannot be torn off its
hinges by the wind Sliding doors
are a great convenience for this pur-
pose and are rapidly taking the place
of both the inside and outside hinged
door.
A circular concrete water tank
shown in front of the barn in the H.
lustration is a great convenience. The
inside is made withA slight taper
toward the top so that there viii be no
danger of ice bursting the tank. The
circular tank also leaves no projec-
tions on which the animals can hurt
| themselves.

The Iurnentine Workers.

In the Carolinas, whence most OF
the turpentine is derived. tracts of tur-
pentine land are called orchards"
Early in the year, before the Juice" of
the pine is ready to exude, the trees
are boxed" The boxes are not, as
the term would seem to signify, ap-
pendages attached to the outside of
the tree, but are cuplike cavities cut
into the trunks about a foot from the
ground They measure from ten to
fourteen inches across. and are four
inches in width and seven in depth.
Each of them is presumed to hold a
quart. Usually there are two and
sometimes even three or four such
boxes to each tree. The life of the
pine, as of other trees. is drawn from
the soil through the bark; hence it is
necessary always to leave an uncut
strip of the bark between the boxes.
The number of the boxes depends,
therefore, upon the size Of the tree and
the width of the intervening strips.

sauinn the Babies.

The 1915 death rate among babies
one year old in st. Louis was the
lowest of any year on record and is
among the lowest of all the cities in
the country. according to report just
made public by the St. Louis pure
milk commission. The death rate was
80 in 1000, reduction from a rate OF
10S in the previous year. The great
falling off in deaths is held to be due
to, first, the persistent campaigns of
the health department, the pure milk
commission and other social agencies
for the last fifteen years, together with
the enforcement of the new pure milk
law during the past year, and, second,
to the unusually cool summer.

VARIETY OF TASTES

War stringencies have called forth
number of unusual foods, among them
a bread made largely of potato -four,
artificial protein cakes, green bone
meal preparations, together with IN
Vulnerable foods manufactured in the
laboratory in tabloid form. So soup
cubes, pudding powders, meat es-
sences and vegetable extracts-al-
ways more or less prominent in the
kitchen of the European housewife
have, according to reports from the
belligerent countries, received tre-
mendous stimulus through the war.
War may create scarcity of the articles
on a community's accepted menu, and
vet there may be plenty of food about
for those who eat it. For example,
there may be an abundance of snails
and grasshoppers on hand, while peo-
pIe, thoughtless of these delicacies,
starve for meat Showing somewhat
of the range of soodstuffs when we
consider the world by and large, bull
letin Just given out by the National
Geographic society, at Washington,
enumerates a few of the freak foods
enjoyed in other countries. 1t reads:
There is no accounting for the
freaks of human appetites. The Roose-
welt story of how he got the best work
out of the men with sharp-filed teeth
nv promising them the choicest bits
of raw hippopotamus and rhinocerOs
steak for speed in skinning, will be re-
called by many who read the articles
| in the magazines at the time of his
African expedition Capt Robert H.
/ Bartlett. commander of the Karluk,
which carried Stefansson to arctic
waters. says that on his return from
! Herald island to northern Siberia, he
found raw polar bear meat tasting
/ better than any piece de resistance
he had ever eaten in the home coun-
try.
The Frenchman likes his snails and
wonders how anyone who accepts
oysters can refuse them. In Canton,
| China, rats sells for so cents a dozen,
and a dog steak brings more per pound
than a leg of mutton. The Chinese
mandarin pays $50 pound for the
birds nests from which his soup is
concocted. In parts of the West Indies
the palm worm is stewed in fat, while
certain African tribes are as fond OF
caterpillars as an American is of reed
birds on toast The Turks are as dis
gusted with oysters as we are with the
fish the Corsican relishes.
Eating earth, or geophagy, is a com
mon thing in many parts of the world

Compass That indicates lima

By a slight modification in the or
dinary pocket compass it has been
transformed into very practical time
piece for indicating the hour bv the
shadow of the sun. In addition to the
usual points" there is a graduated
hour scale with the two twelves at the
north and south. The crystal by which
the magnetic needle is protected has A
line etched across it through the cen
ter and it is mounted in a bezel which
permits of the glass being rotatably
moved. Knowing the variation of the
compass, an adjustment of the glass
is made to overcome it, the etched
line forming an angle with the north
and south line corresponding with the
variation, the instrument being held
horizontally ana the etched line he
ing directed against the sun, the point
of which overhangs the graduated hour
scale.

carriers, etc., that help in making the
handling and conditioning of the ami
mails very easy work.
The stable should be large enough
to hold the horses that are needed dur
ing the busy season. The one shown
here has stalls enough for II horses
and also has four stalls that can be
used for valuable animals or for any
reason desired. Outside Dutch doors
are provided in the box stalls in addi-
ton to an inside door and windows.
Dutch doors are great convenience
during nice weather. They enable
horses or COWS to get plenty of fresh
air without leaving the barn. If ami
mails are allowed to look around, as
they can with such methods of con-
struetion, they are not as likely to be-
come restless.
Concrete is not a satisfactory mate
rial as a general rule for the stalls
of horse stables, as shod horses are
apt to slip and perhaps injure them
selves 1t is very desirable to provide
a material that can be washed down in
vides a surface that is resilient and
that will not become slippery
There are two materials that have
been used for this purpose with con-
siderable success. One is the cork
brick that is specified in the accom-
panying floor plans and the other is
the treated wood block The wood
block is in various forms and is treat
ed with many different substances. of
which the most common is creosote.
Cork brick is made of granulated
cork which is mixed with refined as
phalt and then pressed under heavy
pressure into a brick, The brick is
very resilient and never becomes slip
perry and can be washed down with a
hose, as it is waterproof
The brick are laid up i'll a half-inch
Portland cement cushion and the joints
between the brick are grouted.
In some horse barns a floor of this
type is laid over the complete barn
but In most cases concrete floor is
placed in the barn outside of the stalls
A litter and feed carrier track runs
through the center of the barn and
makes it an easy matter to keep every
thing clean, so that there is no excuse
for allowing manure to accumulate
The track which handles the carriers
runs out through the sliding door in
| the back of the barn to a manure pit
or directly to the manure spreader
| from where the manure is taken to the
| fields.
The frame of the barn is supported
on a good concrete foundation that is
carried down to spread footings below
| the frost line. The walls are also car
! led "a inches above grade and the

On the larger farms it is very nee
essary to have room for the horses
that are needed in the work during
certain seasons of the year, such as
during seeding time in the spring and
also during the fall plowing. Farmers
that use during these seasons as many
as IL horses say that a good barn for
them is the best kind of economy. 1t
keeps the horses in fine condition and
makes it easy to regulate their feed
and take care of them so that they
can work ten hours day if necessary.
By building a special barn it is pos
sible to provide the various convent
ences, such as feeding Devices manure
