is the kitchen sink is one of the
greatest labor savers a woman can
have and bath is no longer consid-
cred a luxury but it is an absolute
necessity, if good health is--taken into
consideration. Good health is neces-
sary for most persons but a good
many seem to get along through the
greater part of their lives in a sick
ly, half discouraged manner and these
are the very ones who consider bath
ing unnecessary. A round wooden
tank placed over the kitchen costs
but a trifle of what it is really worth.
Rain water from the upper roof will
keep it supplied and a charcoal filter
will fit the water for drinking pur-
pass through the filter before enter
ing the tank and the tank should be
cleansed at least once year.
Another saving in expense in this
house is starting the chimneys from
brackets six feet above the floor. This
makes a short chimney and light
one that may be supported without
heavy timbers. There is but little
brick and mortar and the job of build
ing the chimneys is a short one. 1t
will be noticed that this plan offers
plenty of light and ventilation for
every room in the house and 1t pro-
vides for a good big convenient
kitchen.
The size of this house is 22 feet
wide by AZ feet exclusive of the porch.
The main part of the house is only
% by 80 feet. The IL by IA extension
being small and only one story high
adds but little to the cost and the
convenience of having the kitchen ar
ranged in this way is worth a great
deal. IL will be noticed that while
there are only two bedrooms the two
alcoves will furnish sleeping quar-
ters for the children and the arrange
ment is a good one for young cou-
ple while the children are small. This
plan offers an inducement to own a
home when starting out In married
life instead of waiting until sufficient
funds are saved to build more ex-
pensive habitation.
II is difficult to estimate the cost
of building because materials vary
so much in price in different parts
of the country. but under'ordinsry cir
cumstances this house should be built,
as shown in the plans, for about
81 900. 1t certainly is a good Look
ing house for that amount OF money.

HEN MANURE AND CORN.
Big Crop Which One Farmer Raised
by Its Use.

Last spring l had some 80 barrels
of hen manure collected during the
winter from $50 hens, writes-a cor.

planted pa acres to corn, one acre
to yellow and Ia acres TO late
White corn. The yellow corn was
planted May "a, harvested Sept. II,
and yielded 163 bushels of ears. The
white corn was planted May 27, har-
vested Sept. 81 and yielded 175 bush
els of ears, all good, sound corn with
but very few small ears.
The land was plowed and thorough
ly fitted three days before planting
and the corn planted three feet apart
each way. In seven days it was ready
to cultivate. In two weeks 1t was
agains cultivated, hoed and thinned
to four stalks in each hill
1t was then left until 20 inches high
when the hen manure was put on a
on the hill but little to one side for
fear 1t would burn the tender stalks.
The hitler was then run each way,
showing the dirt up to the hill and COW
ering the manure thoroughly. Moth
ing more was done to It until 1t was
-four feet tall, when IL was again
thinned and suckered. taking out
everything but the four stalks. Some
of this corn grew IL feet and yielded
two large ears to stalk.
This ended our labor until harvest
ing time when the corn was cut and
put into stocks of 80 hills each and
loads of good bright fodder. There
was no other fertilizer used and the
land was not above the average land
in this locality. so that l am fully con
vinced that the hen manure was the
prime cause of producing this large
crop of corn. Nearly all the farmer:

sweet corn for the canning factories
and it does not yield more than from
$40 to SIS per acre.

ance point of view, but now ii Is a
recognized fact that the warmest of
stuffs mays be worked up into just
as dainty garment as its summer
cousin of lawn and lace. The flannel
ette gown is especially suited for
home-making, but the design should be
attractive.
This really pretty gown requires
only five yards of material. four yards
of insertion and two yards of wide
spaced beading, with some soft wash
ribbon for the neck. All bulky and
fussy decorations are quite out Of
place in any such gown as this; so
that there is entire absence of small
delicacies and intricate details in the
picture. This lessons the work so that
one could make three of these gowns
in the space of time 1t would take to
manufacture one dainty summer one.
The insertion is formed into a
square yoke, both back and front. and
from it the material hangs with five
rather big tucks each side Straps of
the insertion are laid down over the
shoulders, with excellent effect, and
it appears again, as a border to the
frills on the sleeves. There is more
skill than appears to the casual glance
in these sleeves, for any gathering or
fulness so out of place with flannel
| is quite avoided. The beading is used
to cover where the frill cuff joins the

is in just such work as this that plans

prove the most desirable of reposi-

lar chiffonier style here shown is the
one illustrated with doors and con-
tanning five sliding trays for dress

this sort are fitted up for SHOES, and
likewise as receptacles for hats, the
latter being equipped with shelves
and movable pegs. This development
of the cabinet is a foreign idea, but
the cretonne and enamel chiffonier
has been favorite here for some
time.

SINGLE YEAR EXPERIMENTS.
They are Not to be Relied on for Con-
elusive Evidence.

Single year experiments are little to
be relied on. There are so many con-
ditions that enter into the growing of
crops that it is impossible to say that
a certain thing comes from certain
elements or factors, if the experiment
be conducted for but one year.. IL the
experiment when repeated gives the
same results through several years We
may he sure that the results are pro-
duced by some causes which can be
well defined. 1t is a mistake, says
Farmers Review, for experimenters
to report experiments till, they have
ben carried on far enough to mean
something. In the cases of certain
fields there is always varia-
ton between different fields, which is
sure to affect the yield. How great
this variation is, it is difficult to tell,
and we do not know that any one has
tried to measure this variation. Thus,
if a field is manured and seeded in a
certain way it will not produce the
same amount of seed on both sides of
it or on the two halves. 1t would be
possible by cutting each half up into
small squares to find the amount OF
natural variation.
Single year experiments therefore
are of little value as determining the
value of processes. Yet some of our
farmers have allowed themselves to
be directed in the future course in
farming by the outcome of single
experiment. on their farms. This is
extremely unscientific.

Perfect Results Can Be Attained in
Hemstitching.

There is no other handwork that

for ordinary work, and up to No. 200

Frequently Neither Rest Nor Grace In
Attitudes Assumed.

The average woman wastes a great
deal of her strength because she does
not sit properly
Suppose she has done hard morn
ing's work and sits down to write a
letter or do a bit of sewing, she is
pretty sure to perch on the edge of
her chair, so that there is an undue
strain upon the muscles of her back,
her legs and her feet and so, instead
cf being rest, tax upon her already
tired muscles.
Again, notice women in their homes.
In the street cars, in church and SO

Too Few Women Sit Properly
Not one in 20 sits as she should.

Not one in 20 sits as she should.
The lower part OF the back ought
to be pushed firmly against the back
of the chair or the pew, or the seat,
then the spine holds itself up, the
chest is expanded and the position is
a normal and healthful one.
But as rule 1t is the middle OF
the back which comes against the back
of the seat, consequently the spine
takes' curved position, the chest is
depressed so that the lungs do not
act properly and the strain comes
upon muscles which were never In
tended to bear 1t.
1t may be difficult to overcome the
habit. but 1t is well worth the effort.
