[I" 1 Growing Pickles Very Profitable Offers Opportunity for Sum mer Work by School Boys and Girls (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture.) About three billion cucumber pick les tickle the American palate each year. Consumers buy them although the pickles are not high In food value, but serve primarily as an appetizer and relish with other foods. Growing cucumbers for sale to pickle manu facturers Is a profitable farm spe cialty In certain regions where soil and climatic conditions are favorable and where the fields are within rea sonable distance of a salting station. Summer Work for 8tudents. Cucumber growing for pickling often offers opportunity for profit able summer work by boys and girls. Most of the pickles are grown In small fields of one or two acres be cause they demand many hours of at tention In the marketing season, and labor Is not often available for large plantings. The work of gathering the cucumbers demands patience more than strength. Michigan ordinarily supplies about one-third of the pickles with Wiscon sin In second place. Indiana, Minne sota, Colorado, and California are of Importance In the Industry. Careful preparation of the soil, fer tilization, planting, thinning, cultiva tion and harvesting and handling are the principal operations. Spraying and dusting for control of Insects and diseases are necessary In many dis tricts. Cnreful harvesting Includes re moval of the small cucumbers when they are at the size desired by the manufacturer, and before they devel op enough to deplete the vitality of the vines. Picking the cucumbers while immature results In heavy bear ing and a long harvest season. Practical Advice. In "Growing Cucumbers for Pick ling," Just published by the United States Department of Agriculture, as Fanners' Bulletin 7620-F, J. H. Beat tie of the bureau of plant industry gives simple and practical advice for growing the crop. Other bulletins pub lished previously give information on cucumber growing for table and slic ing cucumbers and on cucumber cul ture In greenhouses. "Cucumbers for pickling occupy approximately 75,000 acres each season in the United States," says Mr. Beattie, "and the yield has a value to the growers of about $3,000,000 annually. Successful growers often obtain a gross return of $190 to $200 an acre. This is a cash crop which Is well worth atten tion where it can be grown and handled." Those interested may obtain a copy of Farmers' Bulletin 1620-F, by writ ing to the Office of Information, De partment of Agriculture, Washing ton, D. C. Beware of Coccidiosis, Dread Chicken Disease "Too much emphasis cannot be laid on sanitary measures for the preven tion of coccidiosis in chickens," said Dr. J. F. Bullard, Purdue university, recently In speaking to a group of poultrymen in Indiana. "This Is a common disease and Is the cause of heavy losses in chicks from two to fifteen weeks of age. "The coccidiura, which Is the cause of the disease. Is passed in large num bers in the droppings. For a time aft er the organisms are passed out they do not infect the chicks so It Is obvi ous that if the houses, lots and feed ers are kept clean, and on lots that have not been used for chicks before, the disease can be controlled. "Old birds and young chicks should be kept apart, which Is an important part of the sanitation program."

On the other hand they may be the most dangerous. ? ? ? When roughage of the proper qual ity Is available, cows will produce more profitably on less grain than formerly was thought necessary for highest production. ? ? ? The sides, flanks, and udder of the cow should be clipped as often as nec essary and should be brushed before each milking. Also the udder and teats should be washed. ? ? ?

The walls of the home illustrated up to the second floor are of face brick which may be either solid brick con strnction or what Is known as veneer brick construction. The latter means that Instead of board siding one course of brick is used and tied to the frame of the house.

While this home has the appearance of a Dutch colonial, It will be noticed by the floor plan that It Is slightly different. At the front are the living and dining rooms, but the central hall, which marks the colonial design, 1? absent. The house contains five rooms and a large sun parlor with a balcony over the latter. Its dimensions are 26 feet, including the sun room, by 22 feet deep. How the rooms are ar ranged and the size of each are shown by the floor plan. The nse of shrubbery and flowers around the foundation of the house; the vines which are trained up the brick work of the house or sun porch; the flower boxes which edge the bal cony. and the awnings give this house a very homey and pretty appearance. Tile Roof Provides Protection From Fire When the tire alarm awakes you at midnight on a windy night, do you calmy turn over and go to sleep again, or does the dread of fire, felt by all those who sleep in inflammable build ings, arouse you? Even if the fire may be far awny, you are not at ease, not knowing what progress the fire Is making?whether victory awards the fire fighters or i whether the burning brands borne by the wind are flying toward your roof. The fear of fire is a dreadful thing. Fire, which is a good servant but a hard master, exacts Its heavy toll year by year from those who fail to provide against its hazards. The an nual loss in the United States is eight times as great as in England per thou sand houses, it is said. Americans do not Insist on fireproof materials for ' roofs and walls of homes like the Eng lish. The roof is the most vulnerable point Wood shingles are responsible for an unbelievable amount of fires. I Often they are like tinder. Flying | sparks from chimneys, from passing ' trains or nearby bonfires will often set an old, Inflammable roof ablaze, and when such a fire Is started it gets un der headway quickly and Is hard to stop. The wind will lift firebrands of blaz ing shingles more than half a mile around. If they fall on a burnable roof, another fire Is likely to be started. l.arge conflagrations, such as the Chicago fire, the San Francisco fire and the Salem (Mass.) fire were spread In this manner. A fire loss amounting to more than a million dollars annually Is saved by many of the large cities In the United States that refuse to allow a combus tible roof within their corporations. Modern conditions and modern pro duction methods have made it pos sible to have a permanent fireproof roof over a house of five or six rooms at about $2f>0 more than the. cost of perishable roofs. A home owner can, for an Investment of an addition 2 or 8 per cent, secure a roof that Is not only fire resisting but permanent as well as beautiful.

Floor Is Foundation of Rooms in the House What color or design to select when purchasing a rug or carpet Is a prob lem that bothers many people. How ever, If we remember that. Just as the floor Is the foundation of the room, the floor covering Bhould keep that feeling In relation to the other fur nishings, points out Harriet W. Allard in the Household Magazine, the prob lem will seem much less difficult. This authority on homemaktng ad vises a darker tone of color for rugs than for walls and ceilings, inasmuch as this carries out the idea of a foun dation. However, she says, it is not necessary to confine one's choice to plain colors in somber shades, al though carpets and rugs, in one color, or with a center of one color and bor der of another, have been, and still are, popular. They give an appearance , of a firm, sturdy foundation. Life and animation can be added to a room with a plain carpet by using colorful drapes and wall coverings. If the value of the color is comparatively darker than the side walls, there may be a deviation from a perfectly plain covering. Designs in keeping with those of other furnishings build char acter and add strength to a room. A one-color carpet is lifted successfully from the plain class by having a part of the pile cut to form a pattern. The effect of light, as it is reflected across the cut and uncut pile, gives a varia tion which is delightful. This is called the frieze.weave. The floor covering with a number of colors in the design may be the basis for the color scheme of the ropm. It can act in the same capacity that a picture, fabric hanging or a piece of pottery does when the colors in their decorations are repeated In the other furnishings. If the pattern is in harmonious and satisfying colors. It becomes a safe guide to follow in se lecting wall coverings, draperies, fur niture and bric-a-brac. Floor Should Be of Seasoned Lumber Only Cracks In a new well-laid floor are the result of a change In moisture content within the wood itself. This change Is due to improper pre liminary seasoning; improper storlgo conditions at the mill or retail yard; delivery of the flooring during wet weather or before the masonry or plaster walls are dry; or It may be due to the absorption of moisture from the air within the building either before of after the flooring is laid. The use of the heating plant may be advisable, says the United States forest service, to maintain a tempera ture that will prevent excessive hu midity In the building from the time the flooring Is delivered until the house Is occupied.
