Cover all the hard stems with feathery tips. . The making of a good bough bed is not as difficult an undortaking as it is commonly cred.tod with being. It‘s mostly a matter of time, patience, and care; patience in cutting plenty of boughs and then arranging these in an orderly manner. There are two ways of building such a bed. In one cease you jab the branches into the ground, their feathery tips leaning slightly forward and all in the same direction. Plant a series ofi rows across the bed, reaching from head to foot. This is the bact kind of bough bed in that its springiness lasts. In localities where evergreen boughs are not to be found, trees such as birch, alder and willow may de fairly well, Of course, the sofiness of evorâ€" green tips is absent. But you can add a layer of soft forage such as mos:, ferns, grass or leaves, If your forage is of the right sort and plentiful, there‘s no special need to cut and lay a bough foundation, Choose forage that is withered and dry whenever there is any choice in the matter. Dry moss is good. An armload of hay is worth a walk to the next farm. Durâ€" ing the fall of the year, tall withered ferns can becomes an especialily warm and comfortable bed. In case the forage is green and damp, spread a ground sheet over it. On the other hand, if the forage is dry, you are better off by sleeping in direct contact with it, Dryâ€" feres or hay possess marked heat holding qualities from which you might as well benefit. In such cases an excellent bedding arâ€" rangement is as follows: ground cloth spread on the ground, forage on the cloth, and a blanket spread over the forage. Roll in another blanket on top of that foundation.

The St. Lawrence, with its ~two chief ports of Montreal and Quebec, already piays a part of the first imâ€" portance in the commerce of Canada.
