Germany, has suggested that the citizens eliminate their habitual morning bath. The city Is suffering from a chronic shortage of water which of late has become more accentuated every day on ac count of increased production in the Barmen silk industry. As a large part of the working population of Barmen depends on the silk Industry, it Is lm- I possible to cut down its water sup- j ply. the city fathers assert.

Copper carbonate ia the beat fungi cide for preventing stinking smut of wheat and the smuts of hulless oats. Formaldehyde Is the best fungicide for preventing smuts of hulled oata an<1 covered smut of barley. Formaldehyde should not be used for treating wheat It prevents the covered smut, but it is likely to In jure the feed severely, especially If the seed Is dried after treatment or sown In dry soil. Copper carbonate does not prevent the smuts of hulled oats nor tbe cov ered smut of barley. It reduces tbe amount, but Is not as effective as for maldehyde. Formaldehyde does not In jure the seed of oats and barley and Is therefore recommended. Patent fungicides are not better than copper carbonate and formalde hyde. There are many patent fungi cides now ob the market, write E. C. Stakman and H. A. Itodenhiser in the Dakota Farmer. How to Use Dust. Get a good grade of fine, fluffy, cop per carbonate. This light material Is as effective as the more expensive heavier material. Any dust with a 20 per cent copper equivalent or more is satisfactory. Use two ounces of dust per bushel. If the seed is very badly smutted, use three ounces. For small quantities of seed mix the dust with the seed in an old barrel churn or a similar homemade device. Rotate tbe cburn seven or eight times. This la long enough to mix the dust thor oughly. For treating large quantities of seed, It probsbly would pay to buy a smut machine. Treat the seed any time before sowing. Treat It now. Marquis wheat seed need not be treated more than once every other year, because Marquis Is somewhat re sistant to stinking smut. * How to Uso Formaldehyde. There are three general methods? the dip, sprinkle and spray methods. For the first two, use one pint of for maldehyde to 50 gallons of water. Either dip the seed Into this solotlon, or sprinkle the solution onto the seed by means of s sprinkling can, while one person nhuvels tbe seed over. In either case, one gallon of tbe solution will be enough for about SO bushels of seed. After treatment, the seed should be sown as soon as possible, preferably while it Is still moist, for the best results. The advantage of the spray method is that II does not wet the seed. Mix one pint of formaldehyde with about a galloo of water and spray this onto the seed with a compressed air spray er?not a sprinkler. Use exactly one pint of formaldehyde to 50 bushels of seed. It can even be used without wa ter. The exact amount of water does not make any difference. It is used merely as a carrier for the formal dehyde to 50 bushels of seed. After treatment cover the seed with sacking or canvas for Ave rours. Then sow Immediately, or spread out to dry. Various Tools Required for Handy Repair Shop According to Arkansas College of Agriculture authorities, the farm shop will pay for itself many times In money and time saved. Care, however, shonld be exercised In choosing the equipment for the shop. Wooduorklng tools should be chosen first. The following will make the basis for a good kit: a medium weight claw hammer, a 24-inch framing brace and bits of >4, %. \ and 1-Inch In diameter. The above list of good qual ity can be bought for from $10 to $1.1. As needs demand the following tools may be added: 25% point rip saw, a 24-Inch wrecking bar, a 24-Inch level, a H and 4-lnch wood chisel, and an 8-Inch draw knife. A very satisfactory wood for a bench viae can be made by using a 1-inch by 16-Inch screw and using a well sea aoned piece of bard wood for the viae fare. F^>r metal and pipe work e bench or leg type vise which hat a removable set of pipe jaws will come In very handy. Miscellaneous tools to be Included very profitably are: a 14-Inch pipe wrench, a 12-Inch adjustable wrench, a 10-Inch back saw and a dozen extra blades, two cold chisels, a machine punch, a 24 pound ball pean hammer, a pair tin snips, and 4-inch. 4-Inch and H-lnch drill bits, with square shanks. i i * !| Agricultural Hints g With a big crop of beans, fanners will find this crop valuable to use In feeding swine. see When soy beans are fed to hogs they should be accompanied by a good mineral mixture. e e ?

By W. A. RADFORD Mr.- William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to practical home building, for the read ers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author ani manufacturer, 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. # A rather unosual bat highly pleas ing effect has been achieved In this design In the treatment of roof lines. The style Is Dutch Colonial with the dormer to the front and the roof n rTTiy^ril I | BED BOOfpa^P j I? "??"vST-L BED ROOM 3 5K5 I ?vjw?- g j ll 'j "?zrLJ Second Floor Plan. has been extended, at a greatly re-. Juced pitch, out over the porch, with a corresponding extension at the rear. This gives the front window of the second floor a slightly recessed ef feet and lends a low solid appear- | ance to the house as a whole. The exterior has been finished In stucco, up to the second floor Hue, with shingles above and the result Is thoroughly attractive. The founda tion Is low, adding to the solid ef fect and holding the structure well down to the ground. There is very little exterior ornament but the landscaping of the ground has been well handled and adds greatly to the effectiveness of the home. This Is a six room house which, be cause of Its nearly square dimen sions Is quite roomy in proportion to Its sire, 22 feet wide by 20 feet deep. The arrangement Is con venient throughout, and every room, with the exception of the bathroom, has windows on both sides affording excellent cross ventilation. A fea ture particularly worthy of note Is the closet arrangement of two of the bedrooms. Each of these has a double closet. In reality two small closets, equipped with hangers which greatly Increase the capacity of the closets and offers the most satisfac tory means of caring for clothing. A design of this type Is so thor- 1 oughly standard that it assures a per manent resale value for the bouse. It also lends Itself readily to modi fication to meet particular require ments. For example, many families would feel that a fireplace was an essential feature of the home. While no fireplace Is shown In the plan, one might easily be added to the living room. Fan Used in Heating System Gives Results Discussing (Iw value of a current of air In the liome and the nse of a fan In connection with the heating system, a writer in Bnllding Age. after ask ing how valuable Is a current of air. says: "By It the life stream Is purl fled. henllh Is restored to sick bodies nnd maylie even to sick souls?hy It heat Is carried from its point of origin to the place whefe It Is wanted; nox ious gases are dissipated; the new building Is dried out ready for occu pancy ; the fumes of paint and vamish are driven away. "Many a man has had the Idea that a fan Inserted somewhere In bis heat ing system would change It from slug gishness Into activity and give him I tetter result* for his fuel money. Some have tried It In a home-made way and secured results commensurate with the degree of care given to the installation. Then commercially-mind ed men set to work on the problem In a larger way and developed means for securing forced draft In the ordinary house-heating system to be controlled at will. "Heating experts have found by ex periment that fan-driven air In the furnace not only oh tains more efficient combustion of fuel bat gives better ventllstlon by clrculstlng the sir In all rooms end breeking np cold eress. These results csn be secured, too, with the nse of chesper grades of fuel than would otherwise be required where only natural draft la used. "The University of Michigan, which has been carrying on extensive tests In household beating under the leader ship of Prof. J. E. Enswller. baa found that the Can blower la an Important part of any modern heating system. "While we cannot got announce Anal results" said Professor Enswiler. "it It clear that ont effect of ths fan Is to overcome the Inertia and back-pree sure of cold air In extra king ducts and leader*. Hence the equipment mag be Installed with beat pipes of much greater length than have been used In tba past This means that three-storj bonnes art within the scops of 'this kind of warm-otr host lag plant, that It will boot a home at os many as IS rooms comfortably sad that It will keep oven the more remote rooms of as ordinary dwelling at t pleasant temperature." i V Dry Fillers Improve Walls of Old Home Nearly all bnllders of new homes are now installing some one of the many materials which will insulate their homes against excessive heat and cold. They are doing this both to make their homes more comfortable in summer and winter, and to cut down fuel bills. In these homes which are being built the types of insulators that can be used vary from the rigid or semi rigid boards of cane-waste, wood fiber, cork or gypsum rock to the dry fillers of wood, mineral wool, cork or gypsum. But for the owner of the home already built who wants to in stall a material which will give hith as much protection from weather as bis neighbor who la building a new home, one of the dry fillers la the most practical material. The standing house can be Insulated by pouring a dry filler between the aide walls. And if the rooms under the roof are used for living quarters, by Installing an Insulative material between the roof-rafters. It however, the attic is used for storage space the living quarters can be made comfort able by simply pouring the material between the Joists of the attic floor, over the plaster of the ceilings below. Storm Sash Urged to Keep Home Livable Do not get the idea that in order to conserve heat in your house It la nec essary only to build the walla soundly. The windows and doors lose much more beat than the walla Everybody has noticed how In cold weather the wind blowa In around the edges of the window. As the building ages the windows become more loose. Cooling of the air In your rooms from this cause can be avoided by put ting on approved weather stripping or wdl-fltted storm sash. The eOcieocy of both storm sash and weather strip ping baa been clearly shown. The ef fect of storm sash Is more especially to save lorn of beat across the window glass. Everybody knows thrt la very severs weather polling dawn the shades will help to keep tlia rooms ItvaMa and that Is the way the storm SMh SCtS. Builders Now Insist on Proved Materials According to the Index number com piled by a large New York trust com pany. American homes are costing more eacb year. W^iHe the average cost (or apartment bouses Is only a little over tbe 1921 mark, the index number for private houses shows an average rise from 100 In 1921 to 121.6 In 1927. Part of this increase at least Is due to education In materials, which has convinced many bouse builders that a low first cost does not prove that cheap stufT Is not more expensive In the end. An architect, writing anonym mousty. protested recentjy in an ad vertising magazine that his labors were made more difficult because men and women who sought his services were already sold on specified brands of lumber, paints, varnishes, shingles, sash, wallboard, plumbing, plaster, screens, hardware and all tbe fixtures to be used In their bouses. "No longer," be complained. "Is the architect tbe final arbiter. Practically everything which enters into tbe building of a house Is advertised to the consumer, and he is accepting the Invitation to look things over." In many cases, this architect found, the client or his wife was sold on a product which meant additional ex pense, hut so thoroughly had nMvertis ing aone us worn mui no auusuiuie was acceptable. Fortunately few architects have this feeling, as tbe large majority welcome clients who hare some knowledge of materials. They know such knowledge gives protection and makes it easier for them to give clients better houses. Property Values Held by Unity of Purpose Every growing city has witnessed the gradual and seemingly irresistible decline of once high-class neighbor hoods, sometimes because of the ad; vance gains for property holders, bnt often with no snch developments or prospects, and lapse of a purely resi dential section from a once high es tate is due to the attractiveness of newer additions with . more modern bouses and better planning. To some extent such recession will continue. But if. through a neighborhood pol icy, consistent remodeling and mod ernization could be followed to keep measurable pace with newer districts, values might be conserved. If not ad vanced. There would be no seaae in modernizing a single dwelling in a declining district; the policy would have to be general. Hence the need of organization and direction. Consider Horn* Location. There is nothing more important In the selection of a new home than its location. This is proved in the fact that expensive houses are generally constructed In choice locations, while lower-priced dwellings grace lots thai are less costly. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. Location, however, must enter Into consideration when the choice of a house has been made and there are no hard and fast rules to lay down for the choosing of the right spot Each family has an Individual prob lem?one that must be surveyed care fully and minutely from every angle? and only the family can decide defi nitely whether the house is located properly for it to secure the maximum amount of comfort and convenience from It Colored Telephone Polo*. Telephone poles in all the latest shades?mauve, cerise and orchid If necessary?are early possibilities of this, as has sometimes been said, col orful age. Engineers believe ? color scheme In telephone and telegraph poles Is In prospect Poles at some early date, they say, may be golden yellow where they skirt a corn field, a deep green as they stand In single file against a verdant forest or a rich bine as they outline themselves atop a bill against tbe sky. Qne telegraph company, It !s said, has perfected a wood preservative which not only trebles the life of the pole, but which can be harmonized In color to suit the artistic inclinations of the community. Citizen Doty. Bow are you keeping Atlanta on the pay roll? "Faith without works avalletb noth ing." All the boosting and all tbe adver tising In the world will not make a state or section without citizen co operation. The possibilities as adver tised should be developed and demon strated by those who actually live In the advertised zone Unless this Is done, any advertising campaign re minds one of a little boy who whistles to keep up his courage.?Atlanta Con stitution. Guard Against Firs. Fire never sleeps. Tbe only effec tive way of fighting It Is to build It out of your home: cover the roof with fireproof shingles; bnlld the waUe to rusts! It and eliminate tbe dangers of Internal fires by fiiatimllug the tooce. The coat la negligible compared to the total snub*. Drop in Temperature Explained by Culprit Little Walter Bowes, of Highland Park, takes life very seriously for a small chap and when anything goes wrong he manages to contrive some logical explanation therefor. One day recently he accompanied his mother when she went to call upon friends in Boyle Heights and while the cus tomary gabfest was In progress Wal ter played on the porch, and while rufining back and forth, knocked down the thermometer. This was a serious mishap but the tittle chap felt that It was his duty to report It and take his punishment, nevertheless, so he toddled Into the house and stood at his mother's knee. "What Is It?" asked Mrs. Bowes, guessing from Walter's attitude that something was wrong. **T ?vn? nlapino nn thn nnroh ** enl/t m " MW |/1MJ iu^ VU IHV |>VIVIIt HUIU Walter; "and now the temperature Is down."?Los Angeles Times. Electric Lamp Progress In 1900 it was said that the Incan descent lamp with carbon fltament was so perfect a device that It could never be much Improved. It was at about that date that Industrial re search was inaugurated in the elec trical Industry. Since then the effi ciency of the Incandescent lamp has been approximately quadrupled, and tbe great Increase in the Intensities of artificial lighting made possible by the cheaper light. The new applications created by the new lamps have had a far-reaching effect on our Industrial prosperity. "Phantom Ship" Uncanny German scientists are taking great Interest In the demonstration on Am uersee lake near Munich ?t an un manned mystery boat. It is a motor launch, which, on receipt of a ce-;nln signal from the station. Immediately returns to shore In a straight lire. If | tbe transmitter is mounted on another ship the boat can be towed by wireless and the distance between It and tbe towboat can be adjusted at will. A large doll of nncanny appearance fastened wltb Its hands to the steer ing wheel caused the natives to nick name the craft the "Phantom Ship." Record Birth of Lambs? Five lambs at a birth Is the unusual record established by a cross-bred Bamboulllet-Cctswold ewe owned by George Rust, of Victor. Idaho. Twin lambs are common, triplets occasional; ! bat more than tbat Is very nnnsunl I according to J. E. Nordby. of tbe Cnl rerslty of Idaho, who reports the o<S cnrrence In the Journal of Heredity.
