Little, Architect The house is of the Colonial type And measures 36' 3" long by 25° 3" deép and has added to this a sun Toom, front and rear entrance porch- #8. The house was built at a cost Of $9,000 or 30c per cubic foot. The ceiling heights are as follows: : Basement to ground floor , 8' Ground floor to first floor. 9'-6" First floor to attic floor 9' The exterior woodwork is all painted white. The roof is covered with red Flexstone Abestos Strip Shingles, and the walls with wet "dash rough cast stucco of a light cream color. The front entrance is of pine painted white and the steps and landing are of concrete. The construction consists of bal- Joon frame sheeted both sides with pine shiplap. Then on the outsfde mes two layers of paper, wood unter lath, lath and stucco. On 'the inside .paper, counter lath, lath And plaster. The space between 8 shiplap boards is packed with tanulated cork and there is four in- of cork in the first floor ceil and the ceiling of the sun porch. 8 has been found to be a very construction and the of a uniform warmth during ] winter weather. .

There is a fireplace of Milton | Pressed Brick with wood shelf and | & colored cement hearth marked off [to resemble tiles. The plaster walls jare tinted a buff color and all the | woodwork is in white enamel except the doors which are of fir stained mahogany. The room is lighted with bracket lights and »y lamp standards wired to base plugs. The sun room has eight double- hung windows and a door to the gar- den. The plaster walls and ceiling are sand finished and the wodwork is white enamelled. The hall is of ample size 11' 8" by 9' well lighted through the glass doors to-the' living room, dining room and vestibule. The stair, as- cends to the firs floor from this hall and it has birch treads, newels and handrail. The handrail and ne- wels are stained mahogany; the treads are oiled and polished. The risers and balusters are of pine painted white. The coat ropm and telephone room windows are in leaded glass and there is a leaded glass fanlight over the entrance door, The door itself is of pine with solid raised wood panels. $ The dining room ix 13' by 12' 6" with two large triple-light windows. There is a corner thina closet and a plate rail extending around the whole room. here is a central pen- dant light as well as two brackets and in the floor is a floor plug for 4 buzzer and electric toaster. A swing door leads to the pantry from where a door leads to the entrance hall, another to. the rear entry and cellar and a third to the kitchen. The kitchen is 10' 6" by 8" 6" and contains an electric range, sink with drainboard and eabinet. It is cross ventilated by two windows. A switch here controls the electric wa- lannunciator indicates the ringing of a bell at the front or rear doors, or the dining or living room buzzers. The first floor partitions come over those below wherever possible and this gives the central hall with the bathroom at the rear, the large master's bed room and sleeping porch on ome side and the two bed rooms on the other. The entire floor is of bireh except the bath room which is of spruce covered with linolewm. The bath room is 7' 9" by 5' 10" with a 5' tub and a large pedestal basin. There are two med- icine cabfnets and a mirror over the basin. The wall is marked off with squares in Keenes cement and enamelled to form a wainscot of 4' high.

A stair ascends to the attic which is unfinished and unheated. The basement contains two ce- ment laundry tubs, a cold room un- der the sun porch and a coal bin. The boiler is a No. Wé Newport magazine feed coal burning water boiler burning pea coal. As this coal can be bought at a cost of $9 . per, ton and it is estimated that it will require six or seven tons for the sea- son it will be seen what a saving is made possible in the ruet bill. As the city draTSage does not ex- tend to this suburb, the hopse fs drained to a septic tank and distrib- uted over an absorptfon area in the garden by means of tile pipes with open joints about 1' 6" below the surface of the sofl.

Ome hundred acres of rough land, containing some marsh, swamp apd éreek, have been pur- chased, dud suitable buildings, and fences are being erected. The farm Is already stocked with + beaver, muskrats, coons, martens, as well as one fox, one deer, a moose calf and 8 wild cat, all housed in temporary pens. Two comfortable houses have been built for the permanent staff of officials. It 1s the intention of the government to make a study of all wild animals suitable for fur pur- poses and to determine whether these can be raised in confinement. The farm at Balsam Lake, being al- most cut off from civilization, yet only a few miles from a railway, makes an ideal spot. There 1s plenty of wild lite around here yet. Dr. R. G. Law, a graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College and a man with considera experience in raising foxes, is in charge. " An Alfalfa Scare. A reported outbreak of "bHght" in Peel alfalfa fields and rumors of similar trouble in other counties, sent rather a cold chill along the spine of the officials who have been pushing this legume throughout the province. But this proved only a scare. A careful investigation by Professor J. B. Howitt and Dr. R. E. Stone of the 0. A. C., Guelph, shows that the injury, which amounts to only five per cent. of the total acreage, has been caused by crown and root rot. While the badly affected fields will have to be cut for hay, instead of being saved for. seed this year, it is expected that all will recover by another sea- son. The injury is largely confined to the older tields. Good News From the West. Another good grain crop through- out the West seems assured. Dyring the past week heavy showers fell in those sections which had been rather dry, and despite the cool weather good growth was made generally. In all cases the crops are a healthy green and average about 15 inches in height, with some heading out and much taller. Furthermore the grain has stooled, or branched out well from the root, which should in- sure a heavy yield per acre. An Ontario Wheat Pool. Following the lead of the three Prairie Provinces, in establishing wheat pools, The United Farmer's Co-operative Company have now de- cided to take a similar step in On- tario. True wheat is not an import- ant crop here, averaging only about 850,000 acres in the past five years, and considerably less this season, but practically the whole of this is sold direct from the farm, so from the marketing standpeint it is quite im- portant. The bulk of the product is of the fall variety... It ripens about the first of August, and is usually sold at once to provide cash for harvesting. It is to relieve the farmer of selling worries, at a time when there is a rush of work on the land, that the pool is being or- ganized, Western 'men are in the Province attending to organization details, and the same Board which sells the pooled wheat in the West will dispose of the Ontario contribu- tion. It is probable that farmers will be asked to sign fiyq year con- tracts with the Ontario pool and at least sixty per cent. of the crop will be booked up before operations start. The United Farmers Clubs, ac- cording to Secretary J. J. Morrison, are. particularly strong in Kent, Simcoe and Grey counties where the bulk of the wheat is grown. Need Warm Weather, Crops in Eastern Canada need warm weather, There has been plenty of moisture this season and most of the grain and roots were put into an ideal seed bed. Growth, much behind other years, but it is healthy. While it has been too cold for much development of top growth, the roots have been going down steadily, building up a system which will defy drouzht when the hot weather does arrive. With a real Theat wave, plus just an oc. casiongl shower, grain, roots -and hay would shoot along. At the time of writing the situation may be described as ward but good. THE FARM $100 are now only worth about $60 and are mot going very fast at that figure. Apparently the demand for cheaper horses has been fairly well satisfied, only the very hest heavy and medium weight stuff being now wanted, Expect Good Apple Crop. Another good apple crop is pre- dicted by Government observers. | While the Ontario yleld, because of | the exceptiondily heavy harvest in 1925, will be light, that in Quebec, Nova Scotia and British Columbia should be well above the average. Judging by the blossoming season, which ie now over in Eastern Can. ada, a total commercial crop - of about 3,600,000 barrels, or equal to the past five year average, may be expected. ! \, . That "Seeing is believing" is well evidenced by the recent report from the Ontario Government Forestry Station in Norfolk. This sandy county, where the first forestry sta- tion was established about twenty years ago, planted almost a million young pine this spring. This work was all carried out by private In- dlviduals.
