FLOWERS AND CHEER

D.d you ever stop to observe how the beauty and brightness of flow CTS is lent to the faces of persons who lovingly care for them?
 There is Q certain relation be- tween. the flowers that grow in your gardn and your own spirits.
 And whether consciously or not, you are affected in no small de- gree, by the blossoms and their state Of prosperity.
 Ii the flowers come out brayely and b!om as they should, you are Correspondingly elated. The sight of them traaQuilizes the nerves. The odor sOcthes the temper. The very presence of the cheerful. growing thinSE makes you content with the earth and your lot upon it.
 Have you not among your ac- QuaintaDces some kind soul who reYels in her garden or in the pots in her window? In the winter her windows stare bleak and bare in- to The sullen street. In the sum mer it is twice as gay, and the wo- man Sho tends the garden spot is perDetually lowering over the sweet beds.
 Did you ever know such a wo- man to be peevish, pessimistic or anything but busy and contented with life, She herself is bright flower, casting beauty and cheer in to the world.
 The secret lies in the fact that We get out of life only what we put into it.
 We grow only as we give.
 Love for flowers is sunshine in the soul.
 The heart that is devoted to flow CTS is a flower garden itself, sweet euing it's atmosphere with i'm measurable influences for good.
 The care Of flowers is good eH ercise for the muscles, and better stiu for the nerves. for it trains to tenderness of touch; the thought of them is good occupation for the mind; the love for hem develops and sweetens the spirit.

Use OF Earbed Wire.

Some idea of the extensive use OF
barbed wire for trench entanglements
may be gained from the fact that the
shipments Of wire from the United
States to the allies now average more
than a million pounds a month, and
the total exports of barbed wire since
last July amount to more than seven
million pounds. The barbed wire Is
shipped direct to England, and from
there transshipped to France and
Italy. This wire Is woven in com
plicated masses in front Of the
trenches, and has to be replaced when
it is destroyed by artillery fire, which
frequently happens. OF late the al
lies have been ordering considerable
quantities of an extra heavy wire,
with especially large barbed prongs.
The Germans, too. are well provided
with barbed wire entanglements, but
very little of it is OF American manu-
facture, although an occasional ship
ment is said to find its way into Ger

Ground Floor Plan Of 81 by 80 Barn.

The entire building. The floors in the
stalls can be made OF some material
over the concrete, but a concrete floor
is very successful in the implement
shed. The treated wood block floor
is also used very often in buildings
OF this kind. Many farmers feel that
a floor In an implement shed Is an ex-
travagance. but its presence makes it
possible to keep the tools in the best
possible condition, as well as the
machines. More care will be taken in
keeping all the farm machinery in
good condition If floor is built so
that the building can be kept clean.
Nine feet OF headroom is generally
provided In horse stables, and this
same height is about right for shed.
where the farm implements are to be
stored. The floor under the NOW can
therefore be made level.
Good, tight doors and windows are
absolutely necessary in a shed in
which machinery is kept. In addition
to the rain and snow that must be
kept out, there are also small animals
Of all kinds, and especially chickens
that invariably think the implement
