FIGURES LONG IN HISTORY
Stirling Castle lnseparebly Connected
i with Al That the Scottish Heart
Holds Dear.

r Recently fhe English government
sent some German prisoners Of var to
Stirling castle. The ancient fortress
is again prison; again the EYE OF
the north" keeps watch over the ma.
tons safety. Stirling is only few
hours ride from Glasgow, but 1t b
Journey from the nineteenth century
to the middle ages. The castle, ON
the right bank of the Forth, is built on
the highest tip Of promontory, close
to the edge Of the crag. Its position
is almost impregnable.
On the north and south rolling
plain stretches away to the foot Of the
Ochil hills, below, the Forth winds sill
yer across the plain. On the east and
west the water projects the fortress.
The key to the highlands, the bulwark.
Of the north, Stirling was for cent?
ries Scotland's main defense against
the Invading English.
Much history has been made on the
plain at the castles foot The Ger
man prisoners from the ramparts can
view the scene Of seven important bat
ties. On the northwest Oh the top Of
high hill stands a statue to William
Wallace. At the foot Of the hill was
fought the battle Of Stirling. Just in
side the curve of the Forth is the field
Of Cambuskenneth, where in 843 the
Scots defeated the Picts. Falkirk,
where Wallace was defeated, lies TO
the south. Years later On this same
field Prince Charlie won one Of his
most important battles. Bannockburn,
the holy ground Of Scotland. lies TO-
the south. From the castle you can
see the center Of the field. the Bore
stone, marked by a tan white flagpole..
Mary of Scots was crowned in the
castle hall. Her son, afterwards James
the Sixth, passed his baby days here.

Of the rooms We're placed there to pro
tect the tiny prince from kdnapers,
Years afterwards he was crowned o.

WHAT TO PLANT IN LATE GAR
DEN

Carrots. beets and celery for winter
use may be planted in the latter part
of June, says R. S. Macintosh, garden
specialist of the extension division,
University Farm. Mr.. Macintosh also
suggestes the following for the late gar
den:
Golden bantam corn to keep up the
supply for late summer.
Early string beans and peas to pro-
vide substitutes for meat.
Fresh and crisp vegetables as the
means Of saving canned products for
the winter use.
Seed sown in mid summer should
be planted in freshly stirred soil and
somewhat deeper than in spring, and
the soil over the seed should be ''tirm-
edN more carefully than usual.

In the center and flve inches deep on

Steel forms are used TO shape the curb
on each side, and also to gauge the
height to which the concrete founda-

instead OF stone in making the founda-
tion. On top Of the concrete will be
laid one inch of cement sand. and on top
Of that will be laid the hard brick,
