Won’t you please tell us the publishers 
of your new hook “ I'lie Horse in Anier- 
ica. 
If you will write us fully about this 
horse matter it w ill he highly appre¬ 
ciated, and we know you can give us 
reliable and unbiased advice. We have 
been corresponding with a gentleman 
in Rutland by the name of R. W. 
Goodrich, w'ho tells us the type of 
Morgan horse in his section is not pure 
bred but came through “Black Hawk,’’ 
“Daniel T>amhert’’ and his sons. 
Any information you will give us 
about this matter wall he greatly appre¬ 
ciated. G. E. French. 
Answer: I unquestionably prefer the 
pure bred Morgan. There w'as a por¬ 
trait of one in the March number of 
House and Garden. While the Mor¬ 
gan is not large, he is not small as he 
is blockily built and has good weight. 
What are called Morgans are bred in 
many parts of the country but there are 
few of the purely bred outside of Ver¬ 
mont. The United States Govern¬ 
ment is not breeding the pure Morgan 
but is attempting to restore the type 
by the same method used to destroy it. 
Morgan horses are excellent under the 
saddle, but horseback riding is not 
much practiced in Vermont at this 
time, so few of the horses there are 
trained under the saddle.

An ideal garage for two large touring 
cars should he about twenty feet wide and 
twenty-five feet long. This will allow 
room to turn the cars and to walk around 
them. It should have large double 
doors each five feet wide, which swing 
inward and back against the front walls 
where they will he out of the way wdien 
opened. 
The proper equipment would consist 
of a w'ash rack with overhead washing 
machine, a suitable drain to carry off 
waste water and gasoline, a sunken gaso¬ 
line tank outside the building with a 
gasoline pump inside. The building 
should have at least four large windows, 
so that it can he aired and quickly 
cleared of foul smoke and gasoline 
vapors. Coils of steam pipe or hot 
water pipe tv\o or three feet above the
