Rafters are made wide enough to be
stiff, and thick enough to add the nee

from segments cut out of good ma

through and through as the different
segments are added, 1t is possible and
practical to make each rafter into a

Whether rafter is solid or whether

the truss principle. This is a law Of
construction that must not be ignored
in building roof after this Gothic
roof plan.
The principle is good one, and the
roof when finished is very neat and
pleasing, both inside and outside. 1t

consistent with good building construc-

WHERE FARMING
IS PROFITABLE
The Future of Great Possibilities.

Some idea of the great wealth that
the Western Canada farmer had in
view few years ago is now being real
lied. The amount received from the
sale OF wheat, oats, barley, flax and
rye in 1917 was $270,000000, while the
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted $40,000000 additional. or this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil
lion dollars. The increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over 6A million
dollars.
This money. so easily earned, is be-
ing spent in improvements in farm
property, purchasing additional land,
buying tractors. automobiles, and in
proving home conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furni
ture. pianos, buying Victory bonds
paying off old debts, etc.
Over five hundred tractors were sold
in Southern Alberta in 1917. One
implement agent reports that the In
crease in his business In 1917, over
that of 1916, was equal to the total
business in 1915. 1t is the Same story
all over the country. And it is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the three
prairie provinces, but the large in
crease In the number of settlers; the
Improvement in the extent of the cul-
hvated areas and agricultural prOduc-
ton; the increase in value OF which
over 1916 was S77,OO00O0.
This wonderful progress that has
been made in agriculture in Western
Canada is but the beginning which
marks the future of the greatest agri-
cultural country on the continent.

The habit of the plum to bear early
and abundantly under favorable condi-
tons limits its annual growth to such
an extent that after the bearing age is
attained little annual pruning is neces-
sary other than to remove dead or in
terfering limbs or to head back an Oc-
casional strong shoot which may ap-
pear from time to time in the center Of
the crown. The plum, as well as the
cherry. has the annoying habit Of oc-
casionally producing strong shoots
from adventurous buds along the trunk
Of the tree or from near the surface Of
the ground. A close watch should be
kept for such interlopers in order that
they may be promptly removed.

Form Of Tree.-The European plums
(Prunus domestica) do well when

Of the plum and the cherry are more
