HOUSE AND GARDEN

It is of particular advantage in the 
sleeping room of the house and for venti¬ 
lating either horse or cow stables at night, 
when fresh air is so necessary, and when 
draughts are so much more likely to pro¬ 
duce serious if not disastrous results. 
Drawing number one gives a general 
view of the device as applied to the win¬ 
dow of a stable, where only one sash is 
used. 
Drawing number two shows the case or 
frame into which the window is dropped 
back to secure ventilation. The sides, s, 
of this frame may be of one-half or three- 
quarter-inch dressed boards for the house, 
and of three-quarter or inch stuff, either 
rough or dressed, for the stable. The 
height of the sides should be five or six 
inches less than the frame of sash, to al¬ 
low for the angle in swinging back. The 
width of side at top may be twelve to six¬ 
teen inches, the lesser width being suf¬ 
ficient for sleeping rooms, at least. 
The width of the frame should be so 
adjusted that the windowframe will fit 
snugly without binding. To secure rigid¬ 
ity of the side boards, pieces, as shown at 
c, are set in at the top and near the bottom. 
The frame is secured to the wall or win¬ 
dowframe by angle irons, indicated at ai. 
For the stable your blacksmith can make 
them out of discarded irons from the 
scrap pile. For the house they may be 
fashioned out of new scrap iron, or of 
brass or bronze where the finishing is in 
natural wood. This frame may be painted 
the same color as the woodwork of the 
room, or grained or simply varnished to 
match the finish. 
Holes are bored in top of sides, as 
shown at h i to allow the insertion of the 
rods, r, which serve to adjust the opening 
of the window and to hold the frame se¬ 
cure against banging back and forth in 
counter draughts, to the injury of both 
frame and glass. 
Where weights are used on windows it 
it is only necessary to remove weight from 
bottom sash, take out the side strips, set 
in the frame and — you have the best ven¬ 
tilating device to be had, outside the mod¬ 
ern systems of box shaft ventilation, which 
should be installed in all modern houses 
and stables as they are built.

The History of the Dwelling House and 
Its Future. Robert Ellis Thompson:

Mr. Thompson writes pleasantly on a 
subject which, oddly enough, has hitherto 
been ignored in unspecialized literature. 
Not too technical to oppress, nor too per¬ 
functory to antagonize the reader, this in¬ 
teresting book may easily be read in the 
course of an afternoon — one which will 
surely prove full of entertainment.
