BY this time the cribs should be

put the log with the cleats into place,

fitted and also anchored with heavy
stones.
When all this is done you have a

whether he contributes tools or
spending money toward buying the
accessories.

inch plank (pine or hard wood, a
foot or a foot and a half wide and
ten or twelve feet long. That is
the most important part of the con-
