Midsummer heat hue a decidedly cooling effect on one tiling at least? enthusiasm on the part of the amateur gardener. Conversely, as t he tem perature mounts, so does the ardor of the bugs which are interested in flowers. Worst Garden Insects. "Some of the worst insect enemies of tiie garden are doing their utmost Just at the time when the gardener wants to take a rest," says Victor II. RIes, extension Horticulturist at Ohio State university. "As the season ad vances the real gaidener inust become more vigilant and active instead of less so." The blister beetle, the tar nished plant bug and the red spider are among the most vigorous enemies of plunts during July and August. The blister beetle, a black, bard shelled Insect about half an Inch long, eats u.? the plants and escapes before the average poison can get in its work on him. The tarnished plant bug Is particularly active on asters. Both may be controlled by one of the sev erul newer spray materials which con tain pyrethrum as the active ingredient. These sprays are not to be confused. RIes points out, with the old-fashioned pyrethrum powder. Another antidote for the two bugs mentioned is dusting with sodium fluosilicate. Nicotine oieate is also recommended. Both in sects mentioned are active and numer ous, and will require regularly repeat ed applications of spray. The red spider, a semlmicroscopic mite, infests many evergreens as well as the common garden phlox. It may he controlled by dusting with pow dered sulphur or spraying with a miscible oil. which Is greatly diluted when used as a summer spray. Alfalfa Seed Injured if Mixed With Sweet Clover There Is no way by which alfalfa seed may he separated from the sweet clover, as they are similar In size and shape. Only the experienced seeds man can detect the prevalence of the sweet clover in any lot of alfalfa of fered. Sweet clover io a wonderful crop, and it has a distinct place in the world, but its place is not among the alfalfa either in the sack or In the meadow. If the alfalfa Is never Intended for anything but hay, a little sweet clover may not matter, but when the one having seed for sale, In cluding alfalfa. Is admittedly some what adulterated by natural process with sweet clover, see to it that the price Is plenty low enough. The chances are that he boQght the supply at a bargain up where the growers and seedsmen are wrestling with this ] very problem. The sweet clover may j not do any harm In the cornbelt mea dow, but better It would be for a good stand of alfalfa if all the seed sown were alfalfa and not partly something else. ^^ Not Advisable to Burn Off Sweet Clover Land It Is not o good plan to burn off the land any kind of trash which wilt make humua In the soil. Kren old aweet clover grass la worth too. much plowed under to be butped off. Qf course. If there is enough tine trash In the held to afford a good harbor for chinch bugs there may be aome Justification for burning over a field. But aweet clover growth does .not usu ally afford good enough protection for the chinch bugs to live over win ter. Burning over red top. timothy and blue grass docs sometimes make It look as though It was helped, but this is likely to be only an appear ance. because one can see the new grass starting better than when the old growth la not burned off. ft oooooooooooooooooooooooo o | Farm Notes I 0 oooooooooooooooooooooooo 5 Meadow fescue la I perennial frail with hnbtti of growth much like timothy. eee Sudan hay Is low In protein, but hai about the lame feeding value as prairie hay. eee There are only two aafe bulla?the one confined lo a "safety flrat" bull ' pen. and the dead bull. eee Among the most desirable varieties of the red currants are the Fay or Fay | Prolific, the Perfection and Pomona, .eee A reason why the soy bean Is grow ing In popularity is because It Is easy to seed, cultivate, harvest and thresh, eee Iacope Is the name of s new variety of cabbage which Is claimed to be highly resistant to the disease, cab bage yellows. eee Farmers who use a large number of electrlcally-drlven devices on their farms report that they save the cost of many dnys of hired labor. eee Tree planting on Idle land and wnodlot thinning of second-growth timber go hand In hand.

CALDWELL'S THREE RULES Dr. Caldwell watched the reeulte of eonetipation for 47 yeare, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exerciee, eon etipation will occur from time to time. Of next importance, then, ie how to treat it when it comae. Dr. Caldwell alwayt waa in favor of getting aa close to nature aa possible, hence his remedy for consti pation is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate syatem end it not habit forming. The Doctor never did approve of dras tic physies and purges. Bs aid not believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for yourself and members of the family in constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy stomach, bed breath, no appetite, head aches, and to break up fevers end colds.

By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF CQ3T on all subjects pertaining to practical home building, for the read ers of this paper. Ort account of his wide experience as editor, author and 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. Economy is many times an outstand ing asset with prospective home build ers when selecting.? design for their new home. What runs up the cost of building a home is the irregular shape of a house which requires an irregular shape foundation. Each angle or turn in the foundation requires almost twice as much masonry as the same wall running straight That is wh^r architects in designing small homes stick pretty closely to straight lines. The home building design shown in the accompanying illustration is a rectangular home, 24 feet deep by 20 feet wide. However, the plainness that might come by these dimensions is broken by an artistic open porch at one end. The entrance, too, has p^TjT ft 1 RTTCWH h I Mtrxstr I MMMOKOCM ' I _?1\ J I .----I J b TORCH Sri fl ^mrueo' Ti ILMM6 ROOM I ? i M I* I ?

Shown on the door plans lor this home are six rooms and bath. On the first floor the entrance door leads In ; to the stair halt with a large living ] room, 11 leet 0 Inches by 18 leet eon 1 nected with a hall by a cased opening. : The second cased opening leadrf Into a dining room, and the back of the 1? 1=^1 mow l_| ***** , *71 auaooM ?v.yl MH / ??? { S >"U. \ ? li?l-.J Second Floor Plan. ? stair hall Is a kitchen 8 leet by 11 leet. This arrangement ol connecting the hall and two rooms with a cased openlhgs gives an air of spaciousness and makes practically all ol the first floor Into open living quarters. Cou pled to this Is an open fireplace at one end of the living room which breaks np the square wall effect. Dou ble french doors lead from the dining room to the open porch. The stairs lead to a central square hall on the second floor oft of which opens the three bedrooms and bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are larger than those found In a small home, while the third one Is about the usual size. The house is of frame construction with clap board siding. Old-fashioned shutters on the windows upstairs add to the colonial effect of the exterior. This Is the type of home building design which Is popular where there is opportunity for surrounding the house with flowers, trees and shrubs. As the Illustration shows, this Is a most attractive home and can be built at an unusually low cost. Foundation of Home Shows Real Condition Several suggestions that will help everyone who Is contemplating the purchase of a house are made In a letter ? contributed by a correspondent. "Before you buy a h6use," lie writes, "you should start with the basement and examine the walls for water stains and horizontal water lines caused by water seepage, or water standing In the basement "The foundation and retaining walls should be Inspected for proper thick ness," he continues. "A minimum width for main foundation walls below grade for a light-frame structure of one or two stories should not be less than ten inches, If of concrete; thir teen Inches of brick, and eighteen Inches for stone. "Concrete walls having a sandy or clayey appearance are deficient In ce ment, or else are constructed of bank sand and gravel containing a large percentage of loam. Such walls should be examined for sand and loam pock ets which are detrimental to the walls' structural strength and permit the en trance of water. "The wall plato or mud sill, which lies directly upon the foundation and upon which the floor rests, should be minutely examined for dry rot and de cay. This Is generally the first mem ber of a dwelling's superstructure that goes bad." Yellow Color Makes Up for Lack of Sunshine ICeep always In mind In the selec tion of materials for glass curtains , that anything having a yellow or golden tone will do much to atone for lack of sufficient sunshine In a dreary or cold room. This la a fact so widely recognized as to hardly need repetition, but In similar fashion, and not so well known, materials having a rosy tone will lend an atmosphere of warmth and cozlness to a living-room or any room where such an effect Is desired. The cheerfulness of the "sunshine tones," as all of the yellows and golds and mellow tans are commonly called, makes them particularly desirable for most living-rooms, but there are times when the subtlety of a faint orchid color for sash curtains In a bed room, or delicate green In a dining room or breakfast porch, will produce wonderfully pleasing -results. ? Simplicity and Dignity Needs of Small Home Dignity and'simplicity are the ba sic essentials of the successful small house. Fussy and elaborate details not 'only detract from the architec tural mSflts of a house, but needless ly add to Its cost The realization of this fandamental architectural principle is slowly being driven home to the American people, with the result that we are begin ning to see a great Improvement in our domestic architecture. The Increased cost of building that followed the armistice has at least one good elfect. It made people give more serious consideration to the ma terials used In home building and greatly Increased the use of the more permanent materials. People appreciate more than ever that there Is little difference between the cost of the cheaper materials and the best, especially when the differ ence la reduced to a percentage of the total Investment The use of bet ter materials and construction and the growing appreciation of the good In architectural design Is adding to the attractiveness of many an Amer ican community. Common Brick Is Best for English Type Home People who are Insistent upon hav ing their English type home reproduce as nearly as possible in appearance and effect the originals beyond the ocean are careful to have common brick specified for the exterior walls. And the rougher, the more lrregnlar, the harder burned and deeper In color they happen to be, the better. For It was of that character of brick that most of the oldest English manor houses were built Many of them, hundreds of years old. are still stand ing and In use. The English mason of the earlier days was not the scrupulously dfteful artisan that is his prototype ef the present age. Nor were the architects so careful to have everything work out to a nicety. In many of the older English houses are found trails that Instead of being plumb and exaet, bulge and recede In a manner most Inexplicable. Tet even so these walls have stood for cen turies and today are serving as models for ambitions architects. _ Flies - ' die faster =?a dj black band" ?when you spray clean smelling mmmmmmm b mmm HHHHHH Flit with the handy Flit ^Hjj| H H Mosquitoes drop just as last.

Out there, one raiser reports that at six months there was a little of 14 pigs which had reached the total weight of 4,150 pounds, nearly 300 pounds a pig. Quite a mouthful for the wolf. The ton litter, now the aim of all pig raisers. Is one in which the total weight of the litter is 2,000 pounds or ~ more at six months. They usad to be rare, but tn 1028, farmers in 30 states reported' reaching the coveted mark. There were 492 of such litters. Virginia produced two, and in order not to quibble uve# a few pounds, made them long-ton litters, at that. Pennsylvania led all th? states with 05 such litters, and Ohio was second with 48.?Washington Star. To Trap Bombing Pianos Captive balloons, bearing nets of piano wire that hang down as Invisible barriers for night traveling airplanes, have been proposed as a means of . curbing bomb attacks under darkness, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. Afloat at an altitude of 1,000 feet or so, a number of these trap-bearing balloons would form a serious obstacle to the bombing planes, which must fly comparatively low and are operated chiefly on very dark nights when they are not so likely to be seen. Big tins, holding gas, keeq the balloons afloat, and what appears to be a huge eye In each bag, Is the valve for the gas. Natural Gas Wasta The problem of what to do with large quantities of natural gas which are going to waste Is troubling the . bureau of mines. In many areus the gas cannot be transported for fuel and local condi tions have prevented Its being re turned to the oil sands to form new oil. The bureau Is seeking some means of converting it into products such as methanol, ammonia, formal dehyde and other such things which may be economically transported to markets.
