One method Of construction consists
in the use of a double thickness of
flooring. The bottom thickness Is laid
in hot tar; two thicknesses of tar build
Ing paper are placed above 1t Gud well
mopped with hot tar and then top thick
ness of flooring Is placed. Stable ceiling
must be high enough to allow the
horses to hold their heads up. If the
stable is built as II should be, the body
heat of. the horses will set up good
circulation of air.
Men who keep good horses will ap-
preciate the design shown in the ac-
companying illustrations. The ar
rangement of stalls is good and there
is large carriage room In which to
keep vehicles away from the dust.
With this carriage room and the har-
ness room there is no excuse for dirty
buggles or an unslghtly harness.
A feature of this barn which should
attract special attention is the tool
room. II Is feet by IL feet In front
corner of the building and there ara
two windows to furnish plenty Of light.
A work bench with wise on one end Is
called for, placed so that the light will
strike II from two directions. Boxes
to hold tools and supplies are placed
along the dark side of the room.
The granary will be large enough or
not according to the other buildings
on the farm. Where there Is a large
grain barn for threshing, smaller
granary in the horse barn seems to an
swer every purpose. The granary Is
placed In a good position IN this plan
since 1t is entirely shut off from the
stable and yet 1t is near enough to be
convenient in feeding.
There is room overhead for a good
quantity of hay and straw. The hay
carrier will bring the stuff from the
back pretty well through to the front
of the barn. 1t would probably be ad-
visable to put Il concrete floor in this
building the full size of the stable part
and the carriage room. On the farm,
the carriage washing is done outside Of
the carriage room or barn. A wooden
rack may be placed on a slOping area
convenient to the hydrant, where the
work may be done much better. At
the same time the dampness is kept
out of the horse barn.

PREHISTORIC Canoe Found.

A prehistoric canoe has been found
at Loeb Kinellan, near Strathpeffer,
and has been presented to the Fort
Augustus museum. Tho canoe was
dug by its builder-what was he like,
we wonder?-out of the trunk of an
oak tree. 1t measures "a feet from
stem to stern, and is 2 feet 6 inches
wide at it's brOadest part. In the
course of centuries portions of the
Euried relic have rOtted off, but the
bottom and the curves of bow and
stern are still in good preservation. 1t
was discovered lying five feet below
the surface.

THE WHITE GRUB IN THE
STRAWBERRY BED
BY M. N. EpGERToN.

In connection with the work OF
growing strawberries the white grub
is most tantaliZing, opposing force.
Because of the manner in which 1t
works there is no way Of preventing
its depredatiOns, other than by pre-
venting it's propagation.
Land in sod is the favorite breeding
place Of these grubs, hence 1t is good
policy to fallow such land two sea-
sons prior to setting to strawberries.
This is the only way to clean them out
effectively.
AS it is not good for land to lay
idle and bare for such a length Of time,
il. is best to grow some kind of hOed
crop. Corn is preferable to potatoes.
The practice of growing corn after
sod, and following with peas is good
one. Thorough cultivation Of the corn
row kills the grass roots, and the pea
crop enriches the soil, both in humus
and plant food.
But even when all due precautlon
has been taken, the grub often re-
mains, although in greatly reduced
numbers. It's presence may be detect
ed by the behavior of the plant at
tackled. When a plant fails to keep
up with its fellows in growth and
vigor, one may be sure that there is
trouble somewhere, and many times
one of these grubs will be found at
the base of the plant, feeding on its
roots.
AS this is the only portion of plant
attacked by the grub, the plants can
not be protected by the use of pOisons.
It Is not often that the plant attacked
can be saved, but the killing Of the
grub will save other plants, as a grub
grows from one plant to another, de-
strovinp q dozen or more If unchecked.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR FERNS

If your Boston fern becomes yellow
and droopy-looking and refuses to re-
spond to your most loving efforts to
cheer and rouse, 1t, here is fertilizer
that is said to give the most wonder
full results. Use one tablespoonful Of
dibasic ammonium phosphate and one
of potassium nitrate, dissolved in one
gallon of water. Pour one pint Of the
solution on the roots of the fern once
a week for three weeks. In the mean
time give the plant little pl'in water
every other day. This will prove
valuable tonic and invariably produce
new growth.

BITS OF THINGS

The punches of cobwebs on the
trees come before you know it. They
are the work of the fall web worm,
and the torch is the remedy.
Mosquitoes bad? Take look
around and see if there is not a pool
of stagnant water or a rain barrel
near the house. The pests breed in
such places.
Go over the vines and pinch off the
weak and spindling fruit branches,
and then give the strong ones a chance
to grow.
Weeds going to seed right along
now? Get very busy with the scythe,
the mower, the hoe and everything
else that will put them out of busi-
ness. XIII that detestable weed, bur-
dock. 1t flowers once every two
years, and If the plant is cut off below
the ground after the Towering stalk
appears, it will trouble you no more.

THE ROSE CITY

They call Portland, Ore, the Rose
city. With its yearly festival where
100000 rose plants are on view 1t
seems to rightly deserve the title.
4 visit to Peninsula park, In the
heart of the Oregon city, during fes-
tival week, which is usually the first
week in June, one can see 100000
rose flowers, covering more than 700
varieties all in bloom at one time.
Last year Portland people planted
more than 100 miles of new rose
bushes. If placed in row this display
alone would reach from Portland to
the Pacific ocean 100 miles along the
shore line Of the Willamette and Co.
lumbia rivers.

Annapolis is fortunate indeed in
having a Choral Society of sixty or
more charter members formed and
directed by Mr.. Pache. At the second

Of directors was chosen and active
work begun. Mr. Pache's lectures
are inspiring and instructive, and

this opportunity.
No musical conductor is more wide
~ known throughout this country
and Europe than is Mr.. Pache, for
years connected with the Peabody
Conservatory of Music, Baltimore.
The organization of an 0ratorin So
ciety here not only creates a love for
and a higher sense of music, but also
fosters community spirit.
