The Dittman houses, on the opposite side of the street at the south end, were uninjured. Tie has been wanting to rent his houses for some time, and it will be an advantage to both the Bentheys and Mr. Lynch, as some of his houses were empty and ready to be occupied again. At the dinger place no damage was done, tins being north of the path of the storm about one mile. Peter Weiland. RECONSTRUCTING COLDFRAMES. We intend to replace the wooden sides of some coldframes with concrete this season and we wish to get some information as to the proper thickness of the walls and the necessary reinforc- ing. We are also in doubt whether to make the frames wide enough for two sashes, with a center wall, or only wide enough for one set of sashes. Can you help us out? IT. S.—Mo. If the frames are to be used during the winter months, we would prefer to have them wide enough to carry a row of hotbed sashes on each side of the ridge. In case they are only to bo used as coldframes late in the season, frames wide enough for a single row of sashes will be satisfactory. The walls should be set deep enough in the ground to provide a good foun dation, so that they will not be acted on by frost. Three inches will answer as the thickness of the top of tlie wall and four to six inches for the bottom. Although reinforcing is not necessary, it is a good plan to run a i/4-inch steel rod about one inch below the top of the wall on all sides. Especially with the wide frames, it will bo a simple matter to heat them with steam or hot water. T. PROPAGATING FICUS ELASTICA.
