 PROOF gutter. I wish to state that I speak of many years' experience as an archi- 

 tect and ^now when material is fit for a certain place. Tbe fact is that your gutter 

 really is the best gutter on the market up to date. It is second to none; it really 

 has no eaual."

PLANNING VENTILATORS, 



What is the proper size for ventila- 

 tors for a small house, 14x24 feet, which 

 is four feet high at the eaves and eight 

 and one-half high at the ridge! 



L. J. S.— Pa. 



The exact size of the ventilators will 

 vary with the dimensions of the glass 

 used for the remainder of the roof, 

 which we presume is somewhere from 

 twelve to sixteen inches in width. It 

 would be advisable to use ventilator 

 sashes with from four to five rows of 

 the narrow sizes to three or four of the 

 wider glass, using, of course, the same 

 width of glass as for the roof itself. 

 For a house of this width the ventila- 

 tors will not require glass more than 

 sixteen inches long, especially if the 

 row of sashes is continuous or with only 

 one row of glass between the sashes. If 

 the latter method is used, from three 

 to five sashes will be required, accord- 

 ing to the size of the glass and the num- 

 ber of panes in each. If there is glass in 

 one or both of the walls, it is often de- 

 sirable to have two or three sashes in 

 one or both walls, especially if the 

 house is to be used in the summer. 

 These sashes should have two rows of 

 glass of the size used in the walls. 



SOW BUG. 



A True Story.

March 17th 

 We use KAMMOHS'S SI^UO 

 SHOT on Currant Bushes in 

 the Spring before the leaves are 

 started. We put it on around 

 the roots and have done It for 

 two years, and find that the 

 worms are killed before they 

 get on the bush. For potatoes 

 we put on SliTTG SHOT as soon 

 as the bugs come, and we have 

 good vines, plenty of tubers 

 and no bugs. It Is the best 

 thing we have ever used. Por 

 Sow Sjigm in gTe«nlioii»«« It is sure deatli. We had a lot of them before using 

 SXtVO SHOT but they got out where it is used. 



ALFRED GOLDRING. 



Slug Shot for Sow Bugs. 



It la with great pleasaT« eaoli week Z read your valued paper, and X like to 

 give a helping liand when Z can. I do not wish to say anything against the 

 use of Paris green and uvLgax, or bran, or any other material, for Z know these 

 are all good to kill bngv, such as wood lice (sow bugs), etc. Bnt Z wotild like 

 to state, as Z have done formerly, for the benefit of anyone bothered with sow 

 bugs that Z have thorong'hly cleared my greenhouses of this pest by dusting 

 freely with KAMfOWP'S SXtTJO SHOT, spreading it well in the walks, under 

 the benches, along the side waUs and between the plants, using about 20 lbs. 

 to a 20 ft. X 100 ft. house. This Slug' Shot will not injure Carnation plants. Z 

 hope that this recital of my experience will be of help to others in trouble 

 and especially recommend its use as it is not dang'erous to human life as is 

 Paris green.
