Outdoor Storage Cellars Favored Superior to Rooms in Base ments of Dwellings for Vegetables. (Frrpare* by the United Stales Department of Agriculture ) Outdoor cellars may t»t* used to ad vantage for the storage of surplus Vegetable crops that otherwise might be lost, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Such cellars are on the whole superior to storage rooms in basements of dwell ings. Vegetables can more convenient ly be placed in such cellars than in basement storage rooms. By opening the door during the night and closing it in tlie morning before tlie air lie comes warm, it Is possible to keep the cellar cool ami quickly reduce the temperature of the stored products to the desired point for safe storage. All ventilators should likewise he kept lightly dosed until the outside air is again cooler than that within the cel lar, unless the outside temperature is low enough to lie dangerous. Best Location. If the outdoor storage cellar Is to be used principally for storing crops such as turnips, beets, and carrots for feeding livestock, it should be lo cated near the stable. When it is de signed for keeping vegetables t’or tlie table, tlie storage cellar should be accessible front the kitchen tit all times. If both fruit and vegetables are to he stored, there should he two compartments to the cellar, with a ventilating apparatus in each. The type of the outdoor storage cel lar varies with geographical location. Except in sections where the climate is very mild, the storage cellar should be constructed so that it can he kept free from undue moisture and frost. In northern sections outdoor storage cellars tire made almost entirely lie low ground and covered with a foot or two of earth. In winter the dirt covering may lie supplemented by u layer of manure, straw, corn fodder or similar material. A storage house adapted to condi tions In southern sections of tlie Unit ed States may lie constructed on a well-drained site by setting a row of posts five or six feet apart, extending seven or eight feet above the surface of the ground, with a ridgepole placed on top of them. Against each side of the ridgepole a row of planks or puncheons Is placed, with their op posite ends resting in a shallow trench four or five feet from tlie line of posts. The ends tire boarded up. a door be ing provided in one end of the struc ture, and the roof covered with sod to a depth of five or six inches. The floors of outdoor storage houses are usually dirt. Storage House in North. An above-ground type of storage house used in many sections of the North is a frame structure wifh„walls ten to twelve Inches thick filled with insulating material, such as sawdust or shavings. Both inside and outside walls are sheathed with matched lumber so as to make tiiem air tight. The rafters are ceiled on tlie underside with the same material and the space ■between them tilled with dry insulat ing substance. The use of building paper in tlie roof and walls of the sto-age house is of great value In ins-ilating the structure. An air duct or pipe of sufficient si/e should he used to bring air from tlie outside. This duct should be placed Just be neath the level of the floor, running from a point just outside the building to an inlet In tlie floor. The outside end of tiie duct should lie covered with woven wire to prevent tlie en trance of small animals. A ventilating flue in the roof is necessary for the escape of warm air. Both ventilator and air Inlet should he closed during very cold weather. If tlie storage room Is longer than 12 feet, an additional ventilator will be needed. Unless the vegetables are placed in receptacles and set on shelves on tlie walls of tlie storage house, a slat floor en which to put the stored products should he used to provide a better circulation of air. Extra Feeding Assists Young Growing Animals It is always advisable to feed young lambs or any kind of young stock— pigs, calves or chickens —extra. If you wouid build a iamb run, that is, make a pen large enough to accommo date the lambs so that they could get in and out And sheep could not, you could feed the lambs extra In this run. Feed them ground oats and corn meal, and ensilage also; in fact, any thing they care to eat. It might lie well to let them eat ensilage with old sheep, also ha.v, but grain should tie fed alone so the old sheep could not get to it. It is possible by this exlrj feeding and care to make a big growth on iambs. A fanner could get them to market much earlier. Extra feed ing put into youn£ growing unimals Is never wasted if fed with c-iri*. Nurse Crop for Clover Tests at tlie Brandon experimental farm emphasize the fact that sweet ciover is much more economically pro duced when sown with a nurse crop than when sown alone. Tlie yields of the various nurse crops are in no way due to !lie presence of tlie sweet clover and tlie slightly increased yield the following season In favor of seed ing alone is Insignificant. The stubble also affords considerable protection and hence winter-killing is less likely Jo occur. Airy Attic Room I? Fine to Cure Corn Plan of Stringing Ears Is Familiar to Many. With tlie recent frost catching much of tlie corn full of moisture, the method of curing seed corn this full will determine to a large extent the success or failure of the stand next year. "Seed corn," declares A. N. liuuie, of South Dakota State college, "should he stored in a dry place with good air circulation, neither too hot nor too cold. An airy attic room will serve to store enough for home use, although it has the objection that it may bring mice into the house. The seed ears may he covered with dry thresh* d oats in a bin and allowed to remain there until spring. “Most corn growers are familiar with the plan of stringing the ears and hanging them outdoors on tlie sunny side of a building or tying two or more ears together by tlie husks and hanging them that way. Such methods of curing are usually suc cessful, unless the sunshine becomes too hot and causes germination of tlie corn. The strings of seed ears may lie suspended from tlie rafters of a crib or even a garage, hut do not drain the radiator o,' the car or allow steam to escape below tlie corn in freezing weather. Many bushels of good seed corn have been ruined it this manner. "If corn is once well cured, it wilt be almost certain to retain its ger mination. Sometime after Christinas when it is thoroughly cured, it iuay lie shelled, graded, and stored in sacks ready for planting." Mature ears make tlie best seed corn although corn that lias reached the glazed stage can in* used if prop erly cured and stored. Seed for next year should lie secured this fall. Hogging Off Corn Save 3 Farmer Time and Labor Farmers who hogged off a portion of their corn crop stud husked tlie remainder on the stalk, made more money on corn In the past five years than those who cut. shocked, and husked it all, according to tlie expe riences on Ohio farms where records were kept. The figures for tills survey were re corded by the farmers themselves, and F. 1.. Morison, of Ohio State Univer sity, who compiled tlie figures, says that by proper planning these men who let the hogs do iairt of the work greatly reduced labor costs. "Based on tlie figures secured in Greene county from 1920 to 192.V’ writes Mr. Morison, "a farmer who lias 40 acres of corn will spend I+3 days of man labor in raising and har vesting his corn crop If he cuts, shocks and husks it. If five acres are 'hogged off tlie 40-acre corn crop will take 131 days of man labor. Hogging off not only saves labor in harvesting the corn, tint also saves time in caring foi tlie hogs. "If this farmer with 40 acres of "corn hogs <*T 30 acres and husks tlie remainder off the stalk, it will re quire only 78 days of man ta bor to raise and harvest his corn crop, or 65 days less than if he were to cut. shock and husk it all. At the high wages paid for this extra harvesting labor, the saving in man labor would amount to more than twice tlie vulue of tlie stover lef standing in tlie field." Green Feed Helps Hens During tlie late fall and early spring tlie addition of green food to tlie rations of the liens will well re pay tlie efforts of the poultry keeper This can he supplied in many ways. Green cut alfalfa, corn fodder lawn clippings or clover are excellent green foods If these are not available, roots, such as mangels or turnips, are very acceptable. Many good poultry keepers feed both. This, of course, is In addition to the regular grain ra tions. By using a little thought dur ing the growing season enough of this material can be cured for winter con sumption. Culling Is Profitable That it does not pay to keep potil try—has been demonstrated to at least one West Virginia poultry raiser and Ills neighbors. Last full lie followed the advice of tlie poultry extension specialists and culled his flock. From a flock of 81 hens he culled out "9 anil sent them to the market.

For a long time we women have been furnishing our windows with simpler materials, i’lain nets, voiles, chintzes, drapery silks, and soft .laps ue.se crepes have dropped their straight, pliable lines at eitiier side oi our windows, and there is no doubt that tlie interiors of our homes have been encrmous).\ improved in appear ance by curtains which harmonized with the furnishings of our rooms. A« to the exterior, perhaps the less said the better. Yellow silk in one window flowered cretonne in another, pongee in a third, and milled muslin in a fourth is enough to make any house resemble a kaleidoscope. That the windows should he uniform in appear ance is manifestly beautiful and liar monious. hut few women wish to use in their living rooms the same cur tains they have in their bedrooms. To meet this need of uniform ex lerior appearance condoned with tlie dignity and appropriateness of differ ent rooms, the new s:i. 1 lovely “lace" curtains have been evolved. In many eases they cover the sash flatly, with out fullness, especially in rooms where privacy is desired. Filet net woven in rich design is used for niunv pur poses. French doors and windows windows exposed to a city street, hall doors, and .other openings tit the front of the house are entirely covered ve’ light and air are not excluded. Shad ow nets, pattern scrims, delicate voiles with drawn-work and inserts it; simple designs, and marquisettes art all attractive for bedroom casements wen when tlie more elaborate filets are employed down stairs. In tlie sketch today, living room win < nws opening directly on to a city street are covered witli flat panels of filet lace, with scalloped fringe tit the bottom. Prawn tightly over the panes the pattern shows at its best, band seme both from within and without 0\ er tlie lace panels hang side draper les which bring the windows into liar mi ay with the furnishings of the room Double Corner Cupboards 8o many requests have come in sot information concerning the ready to buiid-in furniture, etui especially fm the' china cep boa v* s, that this eon von cut form of dining-room closet h shown today. In Hie tooin illustrated one cupboard w as inserted in the suae* formerly occupied by an ordinary closet and the other was placed in a spa -e cut in the w all. '1 lie value of this so-called “permit nent furniture” is that it really becomes a permanent, fixed part of tlie ho s w a Is. and not separate pieces stand tig out into tlie room. It comes fully made in designs originated hv a famous firm of architects, and is placed by the lo cal carpenter into a space cut in th< wtills, according to dimensions fur nished by the makers of the furniture It is a great comfort to many home makers to he able to get beautiful ready-made doors, windows, porches window seats, bookcases, partitions dining alcoves with pretty’table and benches, kitchen cupboards, built-in tallies, and a hundred other devices, all ready to insert into tlie growing house. The colonial designs are, to my mil d, the most attractive. Tvvi such quaint china closets as thost shown are enough to make any dining room charming, and when a pam-lei wainscoting is added, pulling the cap boards and the windows into one liar monious whole, the room has a look of permanence and beauty that is rare ly found ir. any but the most expen she homes. The manufacturers of this ready-to use furniture make sideboards to match every cupboard design, so (ha! tlie entire room Is truly built in. The Fait Thinker During tiie World war one of the great steamships that was u:ed as a transport for soldiers was on her way across when a torpedo boat was sight ed. in anticipation of tin- danger they were in all on hoar*l were lined up on deck. There was a deathly hush for an in rtant. wtien suddenly from down tlie line a negro’s voice rang out: "Is ilar ennyliod.v lieuli dat wants to buy a gold watch and chain?" —Everybody’* Magazine. f Building Treatment of Color of House Important It is rare that a house should pre sent more than two colors, and there should he nothing facetious or faddish about their choice. A house is lived in too long, and under too many conditions of weather and season, to say nothing of other circumstances, to he extreme in any way. It need not he so neutral as to forego all Individuality, hut it should on tlie whole he rattier conservative than err on tiie other side. The exterior should he neutral enough to serve as a peaceful transi tion between tiie surroundings and tlie interior furnishings and to sit har moniously and quiet in its own grounds. If tlie house is finished witli smooth siding, such as wide hoards or clap boards, it takes paint, hut If it is cov ered with rough sawed siding, such as shingles or rough hoards, stain should tie used. Stain is a thin material and will not successfully tint smooth woodwork, hut it does penetrate deeply into the surface of rougti wood. These are technically known as shingle stains, although they may lie applied just as well to any wood or rough surface whether shingles or boards. Faint should he used on smooth siding and trim where it will produce a film of weather resisting material on tlie outside of the hoards, penetrating slightly into tiie wood fiber. Planning Adopted by Kansas City Praised Probably tiie most successful work of city planning, as well as one of the most extensive and beautiful residen tial communities in the United States, in tlie Country club district in Kansas City. The story of tills remarkable achievement of its originator, J. C. Nichols, lias often been told—among other places, in this magazine. But it Jeserves an occasional remembrance, says World’s Work. Mr. Nichols lias demonstrated that beauty and good taste can be made to pay for lie has been consistently successful over a period of 15 years. Tis community is growing in pop ulation at the rate of 2,500 a year. Automobile parking spaces ttiat do not look ragged, accommodations for tlie unloading of motor trucks at re tail stores without having the trucks harass traffic or be in sight at all while standing still, gasoline stations that are not ugly or ioud —these, and a dozen other things that ordinarily con trive to spoil tlie most desirable neighborhood, have been brought un der tiie control of art and robbed of their power to destroy the beauty of the scene. Explaining Increase in Individual Homes The average American man with a family is eitiier living in a home of Ids own, or i.s looking forward to tiie tjme when lie can do so. A rented house or a city apartment in most cases pro vides a temporary home only until such time as tlie head of tiie house can afford the privilege of firing ills own furnace, mowing his own lawn, and putching his own back-door steps. This explains the eonstan Increase in individual homes. Nobody needs to read up on building statistics to learn that there is a constant increase tn sturdy, well-built houses. Go into any large city and ride around the fringe and one will find tlie landscape cluttered with partly completed houses. A little further out will he found sub divisions waiting for tlie building wave which will soon engulf them. Luminous House Numbers New innovations or adaptations to new uses of existing ones are without end in the building Industry. An in teresting application of luminous ma terial to house numbers is one of the latest additions to tlie home owner’s convenience. This is a number deeply embossed in an aluminum plaque 244 by 344 inches, the upper surface be ing coated with black enamel ami baked, the lower surface being given a scratchbrush finish. Then tiie cen ter portion is coated with a good qual ity of “Undark" radium luminous ma terial. Tills is then inclosed in an aluminum frame with clear glass. To Beautify Highway In order to beautify and shade the main highway* of the province of Quebec that are without trees, the provincial government authorities are planting 300.000 trees this year. In addition to beautifying tlie highways and providing shade in lhe summer months, tlie trees will help to preserve the roads by protecting them, to some extent, from the elements. Facilities for Pleasure More and more, as wealth increases and leisure widens, superior facilities for pleasure are an asset of immense value to cities, states and even entire countries. As Florida and California capitalize their w inter sunshine. ami warmth so Canada, New England and tiie Itoeky mountain states turn their summer coolness into mints for coin ing gold.
