Above, there are other wo bedrooms, a bathroom, and a sewing room, all of fair size. One of the hardships in winter has been eliminated by the provision of a roof- ed-over coal and wood bin outside the house, but against the kitchen, with a sliding door arranged in the wall so that the household supply can be replenished without the usual cold out-of-door journey. Beaver board supplies the interior finish, and ship- lap may be added outside. As a general rule the plan has been followed of placing each house at the side of a good sized lot, to facili- tate the planting of the remainder to garden truck for table needs. It is understood that the Ontario Govern- ment will later throw open to settle- ment a township contiguous to the town of Foleyet and another to Home Payne, in the great clay belt. It is confidently expected that the building of these homes will mark the begin- ning of a new era in the New North.

The results for the two highest denominations showed a mean age of 42 years for the 50-cent piece, and of 39 years for the 25-cont piece, as against 36 and 34 respective- ly in 1912. The 10-cent pieces show a mean age of 34 years. Hard, impervious soil is the tree's greatest obstacle to maximum thrifi- ness. Plowing the surface between and around trees helps, but when a tree is eight for ten years of age, or older, its roots go down several feet. The plough cannot break up the hard subsoil, and thus little or no relief is afforded the feeding roots by ploughing. In fact. surface ploughing encourages shallow rooting, which every horticulturist knows is bad for a tree. who was appointed special represen- tative oi’ the Committee on Paper of the American Newspaper Pub- lishers’ Association.

Fowls on range or in runs will take care of themselves during the day. as far as crowding is concerned. but it is at night when they crowd on the mests. or when they are compelled to stay indoors on account of bad weather that causes the trouble. However where a large number of hens are kept in a limited yard. the latter must be kept as clean as possible. and should be plowed up several times a year.

Scientists can only partly explain their flight where in the strongest gale, they glide against the wind with never a perceptible movement of their outstretched wings. As the kite is kept up by wind pressure. so it must be with the gull, a slight upward movement of the wings causes it to rise. This is followed by a long gradual slant downwards, in which it gathers momentum for soaring heav- enward again.
