Second Floor Plan.
By WILLIAM A. RADFORD
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all problems pertaining to the
subject of building, f r the readers Qf
this paper. On account of his wide
experience as editor, author and man
ufacturer, he is. without doubt, the
highest authority on the subject. Ad
dress all Inquiries to William A. Hud

for reply.
When it comes to getting the great
est possible space in the new home
there is nothing better than the Dutch
colonial house with its gumbrel roof
unii square, or nearly square, floor
plan. Not only does such a house
afford ruuch space but it also leuds
lts#lf admirably to building of an at
tractive small or medium-sized house
with simple dignified Hues.
The house shown Is finished entirely
In shingles. Monotony of appearance
is avoided by laying the shingles of the
side walls wide to the weather while
(he symmetrical placing of windows
also aids. The foundation Is low, base
ment windows «et In areitwnys at the
front and the shingled walls carried
almost tj> the ground level.
Two small porches, one at the front
entrance and the other lending from
the driveway to a side entrance into
the dining room, are built of concrete
and brlrk and are approached by two
low steps. Down spouts at ehch end
of the front elevation are used to
break the wall expanse and serve an
ornamental as well as a practical pur
pose. Slirttbbcry planted all along the
Not breaks the line of fo\mdation.
The interior arrangement la simple.
The front entrance opens Into a cen
tral reception hall which contains the
stairs leading to the second floor and,
at the rear, the basement At'
one side of tills ball Is a large living
room. by 15/ feet, which occupies
the whole side of the house and is well
lighted by windows on three sides. A
big fireplace Is placed at one side of
this room and Is served by an inside
chlmio y. This type of chimney

a decorative outside chimney, and 1s
also made for fuel economy by retain
ing much heat that la dissipated by the
cut side chimney.
On the opposite side of the hall la
the dlnlnj* room with a small but am
ple kitchen behind 1L The kitchen Is
provided with a pantry containing
hullt-ln cupboards for food supplies.
Tills kitchen also opens onto an entry
which gives access to the basement
stairs and the back porch. A coat
closet off the central hall Is also
reached by/ means of a door tromt the
kitchen.
The npper floor, like thai below
nan. is divided by a hail, at the
JAMANCE GLEANER, GRAHAM, H. a
front end of which Is located the bath
room. In each corner Is a bedroom.
Those ou the left are 14 by 10 feet
while those at the right are 15 by 10
feet. Kach bedroom is provided wltJ)
a targe closet and there is also an
other closet in the hall for the linen.
A balcony, over the back porch, Is
leached by a door opening off the halL
All these bedrooms are well lighted,
having windows on two sides, and still
retain ample wall space for the plac
ing of all the usual pieces of bedroom
furniture.
One feature of the yard*ls a garage,
almost an essential part of tfte modern
home. This garage is designed to har
monize with the house and is finished
with the same style of shingled walls.
This latter is a detail which Is too
often overlooked. Any garage or other
small auxiliary building should be care
fully designed in order that It shall
harmonize with the house or other
wise it may completely spoU the ap
pearance of the home geoup.
Prevent Irregular
Growth of Trees
In the care of one's yard caution
should be taken against Irregular
growth of trees and means adopted to
rectify any fault In the tree's growth
at the start. Many trees are Inclined
to lean In a certain direction thrttagh
l>elng forced Into that position by pre
vailing winds' from the opposite point,
and. unless.braced While young. It will
be impossible for them to grow up
right as they should. It is well that a
suflVient space be spaded up around
the tree, and the ground kept worked
and properly fertilized.

WHITE DIARRHEA IS
CAUSED BY A GERM
White diarrhea In chickens, a very
infectious disease which may be trans* ,
mltted from chick to chick by contact, 1
1s caused by a germ which multiplies
rapidly in the body of the chick, cans- |
ing a severe diarrhea that proves fa
tal In a large majority of the infected j
flocks. It has been definitely proved
that hens which appear healthy may j
carry In their organs of reproduction i
the germ which causes this disease !
and which manifests itself in the
young chicks within two or three days :
after hatching. Healthy chicks In the
Same incubators or brooders may be
come Infected by contact, or by eating
food or drinking from vessels that |
have become contaminated with the
droppings of these sick chicks.
White diarrhea usually develops
quickly, causing a heavy loss in chicks
that are a few days to a week or more
of -age. The chicks huddle together,
appear sleepy or stupid, and have no
appetite. The droppings are white in
color and this causes a condition
called "pasted up behind." The chicks
die within a few hours or days after
the disease Is noticed.
NAII sick chicks should be killed and,
along with all litter, refuse, and feed
that Is found in the brooder house,
burned. All utensils used and
about the brooder house and the house
Itself, should be thoroughly cleaned,
scalded with boiling water, and dlsln l
fected. Only healthy chicks should be
put In the disinfected brooder house.
It is best If possible to move them to
entirely new quarters.
No satisfactory medical treatment
for infected chicks has been found.
The disease may be prevented by
hatching eggs from disease-free flocks.
Certain drugs used In the drinking
water aid In preventing the spread of
disease in ci!e!:s. Bichloride of mer
cury in the proportion of 20 grams to
every gallon of water Is recommended.
Sour milk or buttermilk should form a
good part of the ration. To save a
flock when the infection has .once
started requires constant care and un
tiring efforts. "
Direct Sunshine Is Fine
Food for Young Chicks
a Feed your chicks sunshine If you
want them to grow rapidly and strong.
Scientists say that leg-weakness In
chicks reared Indoors is caused, not
by the wrong feed, but by the lack of
direct sunshine which enables them to
use their food in building a good,
strong skeleton. And by direct sun
shine they mean sunshine that has not
lost most of Its effect by being sifted
through glass or cloth. Leg-weakness
is at the seat of many chick troubles,
preventing sufficient exercise and mak
ing It difficult for the chicks to secure
their feed.
t It is .therefore Important that the
chicks be allowed outdoors on the
sunny days as early as possible. A
lltjle while each day is better than
not at all. A small yard can be pro
vided so as to simplify getting them
back Into the house when desired. If,
because of cold weather, the chicks
cannot be outdoors, the window*
should be opened at the bottom so as
to allow the entrance of the sun's
rays without Interference.
Green stuff such as clover sods that
have been gro*n In the sunshine, yolks
of egg laid by hens that have been oo
range, and crude cod liver oil, fed at
about 1 to 2 per cent of the ration,
will help to make up for the lack of
sunshine, but most poultry keepers
will prefer to use sunshine whenever
possible.—Cora Cake, Extension Poul
try Specialist, University of Minne
sota. •
Seed Poultry Yards for
Prevention of Diseases
Success with chicks depends large
ly upon the condition of their run*.
The most effective prevention and con
trol of diseases and parasites trans
mitted through the soil, la to provide
a heavy growth of vegetation which
will clean up the soil. This applies
particularly to coccldlosis, Intestinal
worms, an£ tuberculosis.
Alsike. blue grass, and timothy or
vetch and rye are very satisfactory
seed mixtures for brooder runs and
poultry yards. A generous application
of lime will aid In the growth of vege
tation and cleansing the soil. Seeding
the yards in this way not only over
comes the disease contamination at
the soil, but provides an abundance
of green feed In the yards.whlch is so
essential for the chicks In the sprlhg."
The brooder houses should be moved
so the ground occupied by chicks this
year can be seeded now. They should
be placed on new ground each spring
and the following year they may be
returned to the ground on which they
now stand
Free Range for Poults
Poults should not be allowed free
range until they are about six weeks
ef age. after which time there Is little
danger from ordinary disease. Be

RAISING GEESE IS
QUITE PROFITABLE
During the past year L have been
ra'sln* geese and I hare found them
to be profitable. There lata good mar
ket for geese.
In the first place geese requlse less
gfaln than any other fowl. That Is
Important The geese derive a great
er part of their living from pasture
and roaming; about, and they get just
what they require In the way of feed.
In winter It's different. We must
feed them, but they do not eat like
other fowls, and I have found they will
fatten more quickly than other fowls,
says a writer In the Indiana Farmer's
Guide. «The Important thins that I do
not want overlooked Is the fact that
the goslings are .the easiest of all
fowls to raise. That has been my ex
perience of many years past, perhaps
ten years or longer. Once they are
hatched out, with ordinary care, they
will thrive and grow with rapidity to
maturity. The thing that is hardest
Is to get them hatched. I have found
so many eggs that Were Infertile, so I
always set plenty of them.
The little goslings will seldom
touch feed other than bits of grass
until after three or four days. One
thing is essential, and that Is having
plenty of drinking water. They must
have this, and require it, for that
seems to be their very nature.
The hen and goslings are kept In
their coop, where It is warm for the
first week. Sometimes I keep them In
ten days when It is damp and cold.
After that they are allowed all the
free range they want, except on rainy
days.
The first feed I give the goslings Is
hard-boiled eggs mixed with milk and
cornmeal. That Is the best thing In
the way of feed that I have ever tried.
The milk must be sweet for best re
sults. The egps mny be crushed up,
shell and all, and mixed with the milk
and cornmeal.
The first month the goslings are fed
about four times a day. I have always
done this, for while young and grow
ing they require nourishment often,
although sparingly fed each time. It
Is folly to overfeed and It Is also In
jurious.
The breeding birds are fed care-
during winter.. I give them
clover, vegetables and sprouted oats, so
they do not get too fat
Young Turkeys Require
Sheltei\in Wet Weather
Toung turkeys are"susceptible to wet
weather. One precaution that must
always be observed In handling the
young poults is to see that they have
a dry place where they are protected
from the rainstorms, and that tfley
have a dry iflaoe to roost.
Turkey hens will lsy when a year
old If they are well matured, ft is
probably best to keep the majority of
the flock older hens, but It Is neoes
sary to keep some of the better young
hens to gradually replace the older
bens. In this way the flock can be
fcept In the be«t of condition.
la feeding sad caring for young
poults there are as many different
rations and methods advocated as
there are for chicks.
No food should be given to the
young poults tor the first 38 to 48
hoar* During the first weak hard

Raise More Horses for
General Work on Farms
Farmers are facing a serious situa
tion In respect to farm power. They
most either decide to buy and use
tractors almost entirely for their farm
work or get busy and raise more
horses. The horses on farms at pres
ent are for the most part getting on in
years and there are few colts being
born to take their places when they
have passed the period of their use
fulness. This point Is well brought
out by Professor Overton of the Fur
due (Ind.) experiment station. Twenty
three per cent of Jhe horses on the
238 farms Investigated were at least
fifteen years old, 29 per cent were
from ten to fifteen years old, while
#6.9 per cent were from five to ten
years old. Slightly -over 70 per cent
were between five and ten years, an
average of seven years old. Only 10.!J
per cent were under five years and
less than 2 per cent were yearlings
and two-year-olds.
Professor Overton states that In
four years from now 52 per cent of
the farm work horses will be at least
fifteen years old and will have about
coroe to the time for their retirement.
As it takes from three to Ave years to
raise ai colt, to work age, isn't It time
to begin thinking about the future sop
ply? Tractors, useful as they may he,
cannot entirely take yie place of
horses on all farms. There will always
be a need for some draft animals. The
man who raises some good colts will
find a market for them when they are
ready for the harness.
time to start raising them.
3ow's Milk Favored for
