FARMER WOMAN
IN OKLAHOMA
Praises Lydia E. PiaUui's Vegetable
Compound Because It Gave Her
Health and Strength
Tn a sunn; pasture In Oklahoma, ?
lierd of sleek cows was grazing. They
inauo a preuy pic
ture. But the thin
woman in the blue
checked apron
sighed as she looked
at them. She was
tired of cows, tired
of her tedious work
In the dairy. She
was tired of cook
ing for a houseful
of boarders, be
sides caring tor her
own family. The
ouraens or lire seemed too Deary tor
her failing health. She had lost con
fidence in herself.
One day she began taking Lydia E.
Pink ham's Vegetable Compound and
her general health began to improve.
She took it faithfully. Now she can do
her work without any trouble, sleeps
well and Is no longer blue and timid.
This woman, Mrs. Cora Short, R. R.
9, Box 387, Oklahoma City, Okla.,
?writes: "Everybody now says: 'Mrs.
Short, what are you doing to yourselff
I weigh 135 and my weight before I
took it was 115. I have taken seven
hottles of the Vegetable Compound."
Other women who have to work hard
and keep things going may find the
road to better health as Mrs. Short did,
through the faithful use of Lydia EL
Plnkham's Vegetable Compound.
Ask your neighbor.

By W. A. RADFORD
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
queatlotta and give advice FREE, OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to prac
tical home building, for the readers of
this paper. Oh account of his wide
experience as editor, author and man
ufacturer, he Is. without doubt, the
highest authority on all these sub
jects. Address all inquiries to William
A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue,
Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent
stamp for reply.
There Is something about a Dutch
colonial home that gives it the ap
pearance of being a much larger
house than It really Is. At first
glance the home shown in the Illus
tration below looks like a large bouse,
containing many rooms. In reality
this house contains but six rooms,
but all are of good size; each has nu
merous windows, and as a conse
quence, is well ventilated.
The attractiveness of the exterior
apj>eararice of a Dutch colonial home
comes from the long, graceful sweep
of the roof, and the broken lines made
by the wide dormers that are set in
either side of the roof. These dor
Choose Furnace With Care
if You Would Save Fuel
The home owner who would enjoy
ihat greatest ()f home comforts, per
fect warmth, whenever he needs It,
nnd In Just the right degree, must se
lect his holler with cure and discrim
ination.
It is seldom realized that the usual
lioiler consumes, during each healing
season an uinount of coal which
eipials or exceeds the initial cost of
the holler.
Without a supply of air. combustion
cannot take place. That is evidenced
by tlie simple experiment of pluclng a
glass over a lighted cundle nnd
watching the quick extinction of the
dame when the supply of oxygen Is
cut off. The rate at combustion of any
tire may be controlled through its air
supply. Stored up iu a candle, for In
stance, Is a definite heating power. Aa
the candle burns, the heat units are
liberated. Obviously, the more slow
ly the cundle bunts the longer It will
last, for Its total heat energy does
not change. Control Is the vltul fac
tor.
It Is so with the burning of a pound
of any given grade of coal. Wltldn j
it lies a definite heating value, and In
order that Its heating value may be
utilized to the maximum by any boil
er. it Is llrst necessary that the coal
he burned at controlled rates In ac
cordance with weather conditions. An
Imperfectly controlled fire means the
loss of immeasurable quantities of
heat
It Is the function of a holler to burn
Its coal supply, to absorb us much at
possible of the heat thus generated,
uud to deliver this heat In the form of
steam vapor, or hot water for heating
purposes. The efficiency of any holler
is meusured hy the ratio between the
total amount of potential heat con
tained in the fuel supplied to it und
the amount which that holler actually
absorbs und utilizes. Consequently, the
home owner slmuld carefully consider
this aspect of the boiler he considers
Installing.
Small Home Not Built
by Rule of Thumb Plan
Most persons suppose thut the plan
of a small home la simply the result
of following a few "rules of thumb."
and that by a few trials and shuf
flings of mere spaces for rooms, with
walls on four sides und some kind
?t a cheap roof, a house .can be com
piled.
The sorry truth Is that many so
?nlled houses emerge from this meth
od. hut certainly no correct solution
of a home builder's problem Is thus
achieved. ,
Kacli risim must have Its appropri
ate size, shape, aspect nnTl relation to
other parts of the house. Proper re
lation of rooms means no waste of
time of the occupants when going
from one part of tho house to another.
?ners give a considerable amount of
space in the upstairs rooms, and be
sides permit numerous windows that
make them light and airy. Another
attractive feature of this type of home
Is the central entrance, usually hav
ing a small open porch covered with
an artistic roof supported by colonial
columns.
The house shown here Is 115 feet
wide and 24 feet deep. The entrance
leads into a central hall, on one side
of which is the living room and on
the other the dining room. This ar
rangement brings both of these rooms
to the front of the house. In this
noine the living room is l.'i by HI feet
?5 inches. Note that the open porch
that adjoins the living r?om may he
reached either from the room itself or
from the washroom that Is directly j
buck of it. An open fireplace adds to
the comfort- of this room in winter.
The dining room on the opposite
side of the house is not quite so large
as the livingjcootn, hut is 12 by l.'i feet,
a size that will accommodate a rather
large family.
A (Hiving In -steps Is a real -comfort
lo Hie liusy housewife.
All parts of the house must tie
properly lighted with sultielent win
dow urea, and doors must he properly
placed so as to leave suitable spares
for the furniture.
An architect never studies plans for
a home without placing properly the
necessary pieces of furniture, and be
ing sure that there Is room enough
for them.
Now. all this may seem simple
enough, and It Is. were not the inevit
able factor of cost ever present to de
termine (lie limit of what can he done.
This most Important item can lie con
trolled most properly by, the architect,
who makes complete preliminary draw
ings for his client and obtains pre
liminary bids before linal construction
is begun. The plans made by an archi
tect, complete In detail, show the con
tractor exactly what Is expected of
him.
The architect eliminates "the ex
tras," so often Incurred by the unen
lightened using poor plans or possibly
no plans at all except "their builder s"
sketches.
Bedroom Requires Good
Light for Proper Effect
ftcdmoms of the past hnve been
overlooked too often from the stand
point of lighting- As a result tha
labor spent to embellish and beautify
this room was lost in the evening be
cause the light was either too garish
or too dltn to bring out the beauty of
the furnishings.
For the well-lighted bedroom of th.?
present, a central overhead lighting
fixture is, perhaps, the best for gen
eral illustration. To this may he
added wall brackets uear the dressing
table and standing lamps of appro
priate? color tone or boudoir lamps
neur the bed for those who like to
read themselves to sleep.
Of course, the style and color will
differ in the rooms for the feminine
user from those In a man's rooiu.
Oak Floor Needs Wax
Dressing Once a Year
The occasional use of a weighted
floor brush will assist In keeping the
finish of your oak floor In the best
condition. M least once a year the
floor should be given a dressing of
wax. well rubbed. Do not neglect
your floors until the finsh Is worn
down to the wood. A little attention
nt the right time maintains "the per
fect floor" Indefinitely.

Mtrag Bean Is
Quite Useful
Is an Excellent Poultry Feed
and Can Be TLTsed as a
Pasture Cropu
(f be pared by fhr Uhlted" State# Depart*!##*
of Agriculture.)
The mung bean, once known' as the
Chickasaw pea. Is not to be recom>
mended as a general term' crop In the
United States, says W. Jl Morse, foe
age crop specialist of the United'
States Department of Agriculture, but
It apparently does have a place In cer
tain systems of our agriculture. At
any rate, It Is worthy of more at
tention than It has received In the
past.
Excellent Poultry Feed.
The bean Is an excellent poultry
food, says Mr. Morse, and Is used
either as a pasture crop when mature
or sprouted In,the same way as oats
for green feed. In a few sections It
has been used as a forage crop. A
most Important factor In the culture
of the crop is Its freedom from attack
by the Mexican bean beetle, which has
dype so much damage to other crops,
especially in the southern states.
In China the mung bean is used ex
tensively as human food, supplying the
people with bean sprouts, bean vermi
celli, and bean gelatin. As a food crop
In America the mung bean will not
compete with common field peas and
beans, but It may find considerable use
for sprouting. Considerable quanti
ties of mung beans are imported Into
the United States, and have been used
almost entirely by Chinese restau
rants. The sprouts are familiar to
patrons of these places who have
eaten Chinese chow mein. Within
the past two years several factories
In this country have undertaken the
canning of mung-bean sprouts, using
Imported beans. The canned sprouts,
which are qn excellent article of food,
have found a good market.
Many Varieties.
Many varieties of mung beans have
been Introduced and tested during the
past 20 years by the department and
at several experiment Stations. The
varieties showed a wide range of
adaptation, but because of the strong
competition by cowpeas and soy beans,
which are very similar crops In their
uses, the mung bean has never be
come established. With an increase
in the use of canned sprouts, however,
'tlie production of mung-bean seed in
certain sections can undoubtedly be
made a profitable industry.
Suitable Dimensions of
Stall for a Dairy Cow
The grain and ensilage manger of
the model cow stall is made right on
top of the cement floor of the stable.
It Is two feet wide and the cement
sides are six Inches high. The front
of the stall, the side towards the feed
ing alley, is five feet high, with a door
or spnee eight inches from the bottom
through which to feed grain and en
silage:
The hay manger is formed by nail
ing a 2 by 4 to the feeding alley front
on the side towards the cow, and
twenty-eight Inches above the grain
manger. To this 2 by 4 are nailed
four-inch slats projecting back over
the cow's head at an angle of forty
five degrees and nailed to another
2 by 4 which Is supported by the
partitions between the cows. These
slats are three feet long.
The bed for the cow, and which
kebps her absolutely clean, is formed
by placing a 2 by 4 edgeways across
the stall just In front of the cow's
hind feet when she stands naturally,
eating from the grain manger. This
space between the manger and this
2 by 4 just in front of her hind feet
should be filled in with earth or mat
ted with straw even with the top. of
the 2 by 4. When the cow lies down
she naturally steps ahead and lfea
upon this clean bed. That la the rea
son she never Is dirty la the stable.
