Each bed room has a large closet and these closets are placed to Isolate the bathroom from the bedrooms. The entire plan and appearance carry an atmosphere of homlness and hospitality and Is the sort of home which inspired the pride of its occu- j pants to the constant care which coe* , to keep the house and surroundings al- j ways in perfect conditions. Kitchen Sink Aids Important Features Kitchen sink accessories are impor tant features to consider when plan ning a home. The sink cabinet, when placed above the sink or near It, it' by j chance the sink is installed beneath a window, does much toward keeping the unsightly sink cleaners ? mops and so 011 ? under cover and still near at band. A good sturdy dish drainer placed on one of the drain boards Is a valu- i able addition to the equipment. It I may be stacked with dishes, hot wa- |! ter poured over, and all left to dry while the glasses and silver are being I wiped and put away. Several mo ments a day may be saved by adopt- 1 ing this plan. Its success depends upon good hot rising water. Built-in china wall accessories above the sink, such as soap holders, water glass holder and towel rack are sani tary, convenient additions to any kitch en and ar? easy to keef> spotlessly i clean. Wood Exteriors Frame or wood exteriors are usual ly of two kinds. The first Is that in i which wide siding and similar forms of lumber are employed to give the characteristic exterior finish most common in frame houses. Another type of frame exterior which Is gain ing rapidly In public favor Is that ob tainable by the use of wooden shingles to completely cover the walls. A combination of these two also Is employed. In which the first-story finish may be of wide siding with shingled gables, or vice versa. The wall con struction used for the frame house Is that of studding over which sheathing and building paper are placed in prep aration for the exterior covering. Creeping of Varnish The creeping of varnish is caused j by the under coat being softer than the subsequent coat. It may be brought about by dampness in the wood occa sioned by an unnoticed leak. I'lenty of time should be allowed between coats, for if the first coat Is ' not thoroughly dry, the second is kept ; soft and consequently the third coat Is bound to crawl. The best preventive of creeping Is to see that each coat of varnish is thoroughly dry and hard before an-, other coat is ^applied.

More coming- Watch for them. NEW YORK is building: some more of those subways under the ground. No use building any more, people can't find their way out of the ones they got now. There's people down underground in New York that haven't been up for years. New York people are just like a lot of Gophers; every time they see a hole in the ground they grab a nickel and duck for it. If they keep on living underground, in two more generations their chil dren will have fur like a rat. What's this Subway got to do with 'Bull' Durham? Nothing. What do people outside New York care about how New York ers live? Nothing But there is an old saying that one half the world don't know how the other half live, so I am telling you how they live, not as an Ad but as a fact. Five million Ground Hogs in New York rush through life missing one Train and being shoved into the next. The real trouble is that they can't smoke 'Bull' Dur ham down there. P. S. I'm going to write some more piece* that will mppear in this paper. Keep looking for them. SIXTY-FIVE YEARS AGO I In 1860 a blend of tobacco was born ? 'Bull* Durham.

Conditioning the Farm Horse Thousands of farm horses have been idle or roughing it during the winter months and are not rc'tdy for hard, steady work. It is now the season when the pro gram of many a farm horse is sudd'-dy changed without the preparation that is necessary for efficient service. On many farms the horses have obtained their winter feed from stalk i.- Ids and the straw stark. They torn? through in a thin condition and need to be put in better ileoh before ready for hard work. This is best dono by gradually giving the horses in advance a portion of the same ra tion that is to be fed uuring the work season. Whether the horse has been out in the open or standing idly in the barn, a moderate amount of light work precediiv: the rush season is advisable. Tlie harden ing pro? r-ss may be accomplished by changing horses each half day in doing the necessary hauling about tho farm preparatory to working in thu fields. This will exercise and strengthen tho mus cles without tiring them. The hor^e will not perform effi ciently in an ill-fitting harness. The raw sores that develop are due, in most instances, to plung ing an idle horse suddenly into heavy work or to the fact thai tho harness is not properly adjusted. It is especially important that tho horse collar bo of the right kind, shape and size. A well-fitted col lar does not choke and distributes the draft over tho entire shoulder. During t lie winter months most farm horses are groomed very lit tle and tho long hair of the win ter coats is a handicap when spring comes. It is best to re move tho old hair at once, by clipping. This is important as tt increases tho efficiency of tho horsef It prevents the extreme sweating and lathering that would otherwise take place as the heavy work goes on and the weather becomes warm. Due to the fact that the direct f irm income is mainly from cat lbs hogs, or sheep, the care of the farm horse and mule is gener neglected. It should be re j:. umbered that the income from iiie other classes of live stock de pends upon the crops that the farm pru.ii) and the horse furnishes the power that makes farm oper ations possible. More care for the work horse will in the end effect a saving and increase the efficiency on many farms. Be fair to the horse, by doing the things that will give him a good chance to give bis best uunug the present season. ?
