It Is a small home, SO by 82 feet, and contains liv ing and dining rooms and kitchen and one bedroom. Being practically square with no angles in the foundation walls this home can be built at » very low cost. It is of frame construction set on a concrete foundation and has a basement the same sire as the house Itself. The exterior walls are cov ered with stucco which may be ap plied over metal or wood lath, or any of the patent stucco bases. While the,house Itself Is square then* is an 8-foot porch at the front, which is partially enclosed. When flower boxes are placed on the rails and the usual porch furniture Installed this makes a very pleasant summer sitting room. The entrance door leads directly Into the living room, which is large. Its dimensions being 22 by 13 feet> At the end of the room and connect ed by a double-cased opening is the dining room, 8 feet 6 inches by 18 feet. Back of the dining room >nd connected with it by an opening on either side of which are china cases, 1* the kitchen, which is large, 16 feet 6 Incites long and 8 feet 8 inches wide. The bathroom opens off both the living room and the bedroom, which is s rear corner room, 10 by' 12 feet la sice. The width of the batlpooa is utilised for a l%rge dressing closet, which has a cabinet and provides the daytime home of the space-saving bed. Thus it will be seen that this ar rangement gives all the spsce of a five-room home at s greatly reduced cost. Consider Position of Room in Color Scheme Harmony in decoration is primarily achieved through the proper blending of colors. Nothing wiil make or mar the appearance of a room mere surely than the combination of colors used la it The color schwa, therefore. Is most import sat and should be decided upon only after careful thought and betes* the actual work of decorating is area approached. The position of the room should at ways be considered la connection with the color Mheme. A roeos with a dark outlook should he treated la bright eel era. which will attract the light. Conversely, a bright reosa needs soft colors to tons down the glare. Foundations Claims foundation walls are of rrsSoi sed concrete block. The mono- Itthfcr foundsttsn Is cast In place, the MUM i betag placed la wooden forma The concrete blocks are man ufntlnisil In the locality or in some Ms>«s by individual block machines owned by the home builder. Concrete Meek walls are usually leee expen sive to erect than monolithic wails, but -where the loads to be supported are exceptionally great the mens ■tMc wall will j> tonad nsltofrimj. m? n GIVE DAIRY HEIFER k BEST OF ATTENTION Well-bred dulry heifers tliaf have been well fed while carrying their first calf should freshen iijkood condi tion. but some may hove cafced udders. The whole udder may he caked, or one quarter or one aid*'. Still others may have a round, hard plat* on the bot tom or in the rear. Where lnr„'e seven day records are desired it Is sometimes the -practice to make no attempt to re move this swelling, trusting It will milk down and Increase the per cent of fat. Where high protein feed Is started too soon after calving' with this kind of an udder, these hard places never disappear. If one side is large or swelling Is low down In the rear, a tilted udder Is the result. If it Is bulging on the bottom, a broken-down udder Is bound to follow, going u little lower with each succeed ing calving. In some cases It may go so low that It Is not possible to milk the cow from one side. The result Is no one wants sucb nn animal to milk or for a breeder. After studying the conditions that cause utfders to lose their natural shape and get tnore deformed with each calving, we are Interested to know how to check these conditions before the udder is ruined. When a heifer's udder Is badly swollen hafore calving, feed only light, laxative feeds for a few days before and after freshening, such as bran, ground oats, oil meal, beet pulp, or fresh beets with good legume bay and silage. Having provided the right feeds, reduce the swelling in the udder as soon ufter freshening as possible. Next in lß">nrtance Is to get all the milk at all tiiu*s. Good milkers al ways massage each quarter with one hand and milk with, the other to bring down the last drop of milk. This Is a quicker and more thorough way than thumb and finger stripping. Get the Inflammation out soon after calving and always get all the milk If you want good udders that will staad crowding for any kind of records. If. you expect a heifer to do he/ best as a fu|l-nge cow, feed her lib erally during tills first lactation and as soon as her udder seems normal. If possible, milk her three times a day for at least a part of her lactation.— F. Il> reabody, Cornell College of Ag riculture. Excellent Plan to Heat v Water for Dairy Cows It Is cheaper to heat water for dairy cows with a good tank heater than to compel them to change ice water to body heat by consuming extra grain, according to Dean Larsen of South Dakota State college. He asserts that when the cow Is required to change about 80 pounds of water daily from freezing temperature to that of the body, or 102 degrees Fahrenheit, much of the feed she has eaten for milk pro duction is necessarily diverted to keep ing up bodily heat. "Grain Is too expensive to use as a fuel (or heating water/' declares Pro fessor Larsen, "and tlie body of the cow is altogether too useful for other purposes than that of being used as a stove. Furthermore, when a cow Is compelled to drink ice cold water she is usually obliged to stand In frosty air; thus she Is not only heating the water she drinks but she is also try ing to heat the universe. This is im possible from a standpoint of getting economic returns from the cow. "Get a tank heater. A good serv iceable heater may be purchased- for a reasonable sum and a considerable amount of waßte material may be burned In It, such as waste boards, cobs, etc." Dairy Facts 11111111111111111111 n 1111' A dairy barn doesn't need to be cost ly to be clean. • • • May is usually the best time to sell fat cows.

Look out for short-tailed field mice this year, is the admonition of the bio logical survey, United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Injury to trees and other plant life by these mice oc curs at more or less regular Intervals or cycles. Following a year of maxi mum abundance therp is apt to be a year of comparative scarcity, after which several years are usually re quired to recuperate the losses and to restore the mice to their usual abun dance. These mice are among the moat prolific "of all mammals and dur ing a single exceptionally favorable season they may increase as if by magic to menacing proportions, and this tends to shorten the interval be tween periods of great abundance and destructiveness. Large numberp of mice" in a locality not only set up con ditions favorable for epizootic dis eases among tliem, but also attract unusual numbers of their natural en emies, and these conditions account for the equally sudden disappearance of the mice. During the last trfo seasons there has been relatively little field-mouse injury, so that considerable damage may be expected within the next sea son or two. That some injury at Vast is due for the present winter tain, according to the rodent-control workers of the biological survey, who found a number of large apple trees as well as small ones girdled by field mice. These observers have found the mice to be abundant in certain sec tions this year while relatively scarce in others. They advise that every or chardist examine his trees and the vicinity of his orchard, and where signs df mice are present take action to prevent Injury and serious future losses. Pruning .Young Orchards Is Very Important Work Trees which have reached the age of three to Ave years probably Require the least pruning of any age, provided they have been given the right start. This does not mean, of course, that none will be required, but such cutting M Is done will be light and corrective In nature. The pruning of an apple tree dur ing the first two years of Its life Is very Important. It Is at this time that the shape of the tree will be deter mined, including such Important Items as height of bead, number and distri bution of scaffold branches, and re moval of all bad crotches which may occaf early in the life of the tree. The next two or three years, then, compose the so-called growing period of the tree, after which time fruit production begins. It is during this period of rapid growth that litUe or no pruning Is given, not only because It is not usu ally necessary, but because it may de lay fruiting If not property done. Once the tree comes Into heavy fruiting, however, pruning may be resumed with the purpose of thinning out ibe brandies to open np the tree, and also to keep op the vigor of new growth. Pruning is handled at all times so as to promote bearing, bat early in the life of the tree there are times when growth counts more than anything else. This should be combined with attention to the proper training of the tree, so as to produce a strong frame work, free frost the weaknesses of nar row crotches sod badly located I I * Mulch Strawberry Bed Mulching of the strawberry bed is desirable because it prevents frost damage, keeps down weeds, retains moisture, keeps the berries clean and Improves the soil. To be suitable, a mulch must' be cheap, must contain few weed seeds, must not be easily moved by winds, should be easy to apply and compact, but not so com pact that the plants are smothered, according -to horticulture specialists at the Kansas State Agrlfultural col lege. The best mulching materials are marsh hay or prairie grass, straw manure, corn fodder and oats, and wheat or barley straw which contains no grain. Whitewashing of Trees The whitewashing of fruit trees has only slight value for the control of diseases as well as insect pests. The use of it does no harm. It Is doubt ful if enough good is done to pay for the effort At any rate, the effect is far from ;pleasing. Some claim Is put forth to the ""effect that white washed frees will nrrt suffer from winter Injury to the bark asjinuch as those not treated, but so far very lit tle proof is at hand to substantiate the claim. All Prunes Are Plums All prunes are plums, just as game Is meat. Game is a particular kind of meat, and in somewhat the same way prunes are particular kinds of plums. I'ucific, Tenant, and Agen - are Just as much prunes as are the Germurf and Italian prunes. The res son. why- 'folks usually associate prunes with warmer or drier cllmatefcl is because most of the drying Is done tnl those sections and the name "prune"! has been given to any plum which will dry for commercial purposes j Skilled and Unskilled Skilled laborers are those requiring such training in a particular occupa tion as would involve material indus trial loss in a transference to other occupations. Any laborers who do not have to serve an apprenticeship to learn a trade are unskilled laborers.
