III. Question Why do many heating
plants fail to heat properly?
Answer-Thers are probably ten poor
leatlng plants to one good one, and tho
ault is more often due to a lack OF
ieating capacity in the boiler or furnace,
as tho case may be, than to any other
single cause. No matter how much rndia-

ters or radiators, there may be In the

capacity to keep them hot the house will
not be comfortable. II is a good plan to
order the boiler or furnace a little larger
than the required capacity, for It is some

BRICK FOR BUILDING HOMES

Marked Increase In Use of This Ma
terinl I'm Omaha IL Noted.
This season marks a distinct increase in
the use OF brick instead Of franc for resi-
dence construction. The brick habit" Is
taking hold of home builders all over the
country and not without good reason.
While the first cost may be slightly higher
than that OF franc It Is obvious that the
cost Of annual painting and the natural
deterioration OF wood viii In c few years
turn the figures in favor OF brick. Another
fact that has developed from a study OF
brick residence construction in other cities
is the fact that such houses will. after a
period Of ten years, sell for from 10 to 20
per cent higher price than the same frame
houses Of equal original cost. Therefore,
as an investment brick houses are safer
than frame.
Comparing the rental value the argument
also favors brick as a material for build
ing houses. A brick exterior is indestruct-
ible and handsome. A home builder can
well afford to think several times before
housing himself within frame wallis il a
brick house can be built within his means.
Omaha architects are among the best house
designers in the west and yet they have
been seriously handicapped by owners who
persist In building Of wood.
1t is, a topic of common conversation that
the new residences are more beautiful than
those formerly erected. Brick is the most
faithful medium through which to express
architectural beauty, and at this time there
is so great a variety Of facing brick of high
quality and remarkable colors that there
may be seen on every street some new
building that is an ornament and credit to
the city.

Notes of the Legislature.

The assembly ordered to a third
reading the Stout bill appropriating
$4,000 for the normal schools. This
is an increase of $4,000 over the
previous appropriation.
A bill introduced by committee at
the request of Senator Lehr was
passed under suspension of the rules
This allows civil action in a munich
pal or circuit court to be transferred
to another court of similar jurisdic-
ton on stipulation of the parties inter
ested. The purpose is to prevent I'M
due delay in settling litigation.
The senate committee on education
introduced new bill giving boards of
school directors larger authority than
they now possess in furnishing free
text books to school children.
The senate committee tried to intro
duce new bill providing for the
planting of trees along the streets in
the city of Milwaukee, but Senator
Page made the point of order that
similar bill had been killed by the
senate and it could not under the
rules be introduced. Lieut.. Gov.
Strange ruled that the point was well
taken and refused to receive the bill.
The senate concurred in or passed
% bills. Two of them were the Zim-
norman bills authorizing the board of
supervisors of Milwaukee county to
furnish the coroner with suitable
number of deputies.
The senate adopted a resolution to
expedite business in order to clear up
work in time for final adjournment on
June H. The resolution directed all
committees except that on claims to
report in all bills in their possession
within "a hours and provided that all
bills except appropriation bills should
be placed on the calendar for consid-
Grafton the day after being received.

Three other slippers are shown, one

or to match the gown, with a darker
or contrasting heel, and beads to
match the heel The remaining sketch
is an evening slipper of gold, beaded
with emerald, lapis lazuli and topaz
colored beads, the lapis lazuli forming
the dark center of the design.
There is a very pretty soft black
kid slipper that comes for the very
moderate sum of $3.50. 1t has a grace
fully shaped heel, not exaggerated,
and is excellent for general wear in
the house. One may bead the toe and
instep strap with small jet or gold
beads, and they will look for all the
world like the six and seven dollar
slippers in the fashionable boot shops.
The hosiery is quie as important as
the footwear itself. Fashion calls for
stockings beautifully embroidered,
fairylike, cobwebby bits of silken
loneliness as beautiful and imprac-
tical as they are extravagant in price.
They may, however, be embroidered
at home. A very good pair of silk
stockings may be purchased, and the
embroidery easily done, using plain
solid embroidery stitch. Any of the
designs illustrated may be used on
stockings to match the slippers, the
embroidery being done in matching
colors, or prettily contrasting shades.
A dainty wedding stocking is
sketched. 1t is of white silk, embroid-
! cred in white, with wee pearl beads
sewn through the center of the bow
knot.

Home Rule for Milwaukee.

The Milwaukee home rule bill,
which had previously passed the SEN
ate, went through the assembly
Wednesday without debate by a vote
of 55 to SO.
The home rule bill gives Milwaukee
power to adopt or alter resolutions re-
lating to it's own government. The
regulations are to be enacted by reso-
lutions adopted by at least two-thirds
of the common council and approved
by the mayor, and then submitted to
a vote of the people at the next
municipal election. If the question
is adopted by the majority it takes
effect the same month, superseding
any conflicting provision of law.
1t is secured in the bill that the
total vote on question submitted to
a referendum must be more than half
the total vote at the last preceding
election. The initiative is provided
for in the bill, it being set forth that
where a petition containing signatures
of five per cent. of the voters on a
resolution is filed with the city clerk,
the council may submit" the ques-
ton to the people, If the petition con-
tains the signatures of Is per cent.
of the voters it becomes mandatory
upon the council to submit the matter
to a vote.

LOR DIED OF OLD, AGE in
CELL NUMBER THIRTEEN.
LIFE STORY is REMARKABLE
Sentenced for Misdemeanor Long Ago,
He Liked Prison SO Took UP
His Residence There-Made
Himself Useful.

Dedham, Mass.-Forty years ago
William ]. Rockwell went to Dedham
Jail to serve out a light sentence for
a misdemeanor, and liked the life OF
a prison so well that he took up his
residence in cell there.
Despite the fact that he might have
had his freedom at any time, he re-
NAMED an inmate up to the hour OF
his death, few days ago.
Keepers, turkeys and sheriffs, who
had known him through many years,
bore his body out through the prison
gate to a little plot of ground in
Brookdale cemetery, and there the
old tailor of the big Norfolk county
institution was laid to rest.
Rockwelps life story is one of the
nost remarkable ever recorded in the
records of a correctional institution in
this county.
Old age was the cause of his death,
and the tailor who spent his days in
cell 13, mending and sewing for the
prisoners confined in the Jail, had
failed greatly during the past year.
1t was back in 1858 that this man
came to the Jail as prisoner and
went to work at his. trade. Sheriff
Thomas, in charge then, learned to
know his value. When his sentence
of some weeks was served, Rockwell
saw to it that he got in again for
some slight infraction of the law.
The years passed on, and the tai
lor never left the institution but the
very next day saw him back again, ia
king up his work.
Finally the officers of the law over
looked a recurrence of the misdemean-
or, knowing full well that Rockwell
merely committed it to be sent back
to jail.
Then the little tailor, walking down
town that same day, hurled a stone

GOLDEN RULE IN BREEDING
BY Careful Study Breeder viii Have
No Trouble in Producing Like
from Like.

Like produces like" is the golden
rule and summary of the science of
breeding, says the American Cultiva-
tor. 1t must be remembered that the
resemblance is decided not only by
the immediate parents, but by the
grandparents and the great grandpar-
ents, etc., all being connected like the
links in chain, or rather like the
twigs of a tree TO the main branch.
Hence the qualities of the family must
extend through several generations,
better a dozen generations, to appear
with fair certainty in the offspring.
When a characteristic has once
struck into the organization of line
of stock it remains with great persist
ence, even when mated with unlike in-l
dividuals, as, for instance, the broad
belt of the Dutch cattle, which is
nearly always impressed upon a cross
of that breed; or the peculiar build
and disposition IF the Morgan horse
which persists in spite of many re-
moves from the pure Morgan stock.
These prepotent families are usually
established and fixed by considerable
inbreeding at the start, which is the
readiest way of uniting individuals
possessing similar good qualities.
Then, by careful selection and OUT
breeding, the qualities once fixed have
been maintained. BY taking into &C.
count the influence of the remote as
well as the direct ancestors, the breed
er will have no great trouble in pro-
ducing like from like with regularity.

SUCCESS COMES FROM STUDY
Farmer Who Thinks He Knows II All
Not Always the Successful
One.

There is always a good chance for
the man that does not know all there
is to be known about farming, but
wants to know more, and the one
that says, 81 believe if anybody can
do it / cant"
OF all hopeless cases in the world
none is more so than the man who
thinks he has no more to learn. If
everybody were like such a man
things would come to a dead stand
still. The live man, the man that
makes the world move, is the one who
sees that there is something beyond
and who is willing to try to reach that
thing.
Take the man who says "My place
looks pretty we'll this spring, but I'll
make it look better" or the one who
tells you my crops are good-never
better-but | can do still greater
things!" There you have the secret
of progress in farming.
Go past the farms of these men a
few years from now and you will
scarcely know them. Everywhere
you will note improvements. There
will be better buildings and more of
them. The crops will certainly stand
better. Things will be looking up.
Why is it not just as easy to do that
way as it is to sag back and say, Il
am all right. None of my neighbors
get better crops than l do. l have
good living. Let it go at that"
This is not ideal farming, for the
fact is the man who talks that way
has no ideal. He is not working to-
ward anything better than he now has.
The world needs idealists among farm.
ers, just as it does among artists,
poets and literary men.
The men with an ideal is the man
other men love to follow.

PROFIT IN MAKING BUTTER
If High Grade Can Be Made at Homo
with a Good Market II
Pays Well.

There is good profit in making but
ter at home, if you can make high
grade product and have a good mar
ket for it, The creamery pays you
only for an exact pound of butter fat,
with two or three pounds OF milk
thrown in for nothing. Churning the
cream at home, you save the cost OF
churning which the creamery charges
for; you gain about 16 per cent. in
weight of the butter; and you gain
the buttermilk. These combined gains
amount to about % per cent, or one
pound in every four. In other words,
you make about Is cents on every
dollars worth of butter, if you make
as good butter as the creamery prod
uct.
By the use of the hand separator it
is possible to make the highest grade
of butter at home, provided the cream
is properly handled and churned By
the use of the separator you are not
only able to make higher grade of
butter and sell it for higher price,
but you will be able to extract more
cream from the milk and hence make
more butter. Also, the warm sweet
skim milk will have higher food
value either for human use or for ani-
NAL reedlng. If you keep more than
three or four COWS, by all means buy
a separator. 1t will soon pay for

through a small window, and an hour
later in court was given his wish.
That meant the old cell once more,
the scissors and the needles, and the
work of mending and stitching was ia
ken up where it had been left off the
day previous.
Fifteen years ago Rockwell learned
that he could stay in the Jail, for the
sheriff had no other person about who
could be depended upon for such skill
full, painstaking work.
There was no more glass breaking,
as an understanding was reached.
Rockwell was to have his cell for the
remaining years of his life. He was
free to come and go as he pleased,
and during all the succeeding years
no person had cause to complain of
his conduct.
Every day found him at his task,
and when evening closed about the
gray walls came the constitutional
about the streets of the town.
The children knew his history and
loved to listen to the stories that he
told. Old men regarded him as a
philosopher and gave him a hearing
when he entered one of the popular
trading places to secure some little
article that his tasks called for.
His knowledge of massage also
made him useful when one of the Of
ficers at the Jail fell i'll, and many a
person there owed his restoration to
health and strength to the little tai
lor who ministered to him in his need.
With the prisoners he was a great
favorite, and not one of them ever
left the institution without first going
in to shake hands with their friend
and say goodbye
Rockwell's parents were well-to-do
English people, his father being the
proprietor of the Bulls Head at one
time a well-known hostelry in Man
chester, England. Here Rockwell
was born, on the day that John Quin-
ey Adams was inaugurated president
of the United States, March 4, 1926.
Upon reaching his majority he came
to America and learned his trade in
Lowell.

GROW YOUR OWN DAIRY FEED
Hay Are Found to Be Valuable
by Tennessee Dairymen.
Copyright, 1902

copyright, 1907
Too many dairy farmers are run
ming to the mills and feed stores for
supplies for their dairy cows. They
know they need concentrates, but do
not study the problem of feeding to
a conclusion. Down in Tennessee
they raise a great deal of COW pea hay
and think much of it. Northern farm
ers might raise more to advantage
They are also beginning to know
what alfalfa is down there, and they
are feeding it largely in many Sec
tons of the state.
The Tennessee experiment station
has helped the farmers immensely by
experimenting with the different feeds
for dairy and beef cattle. The inves-
tigators find that the cost of milk can
be greatly reduced by replacing part
of the concentrates in the daily ration
of the COW with some roughness rich
in protein, such as alfalfa or COW pea
hay.
1t is an advantage to feed a dry
roughness, which is intended to re-
place a part of the concentrates in a
ration, with silage, because of its sue
culent and palatable nature.
A ton of alfalfa or COW pea hay may
be produced at cost of from $500 to
$500, whereas wheat bran costs from
$40 to $25. From two or three tons of
COW pea hay and from three to five
tons of alfalfa can be obtained from
an acre of land; hence there is a great
advantage in the utilization of these
roughnesses in the place of wheat
bran.
Alfalfa and COW pea hay cannot be
substituted to the best advantage for
cottonseed meal, as this foodstuff is
so very rich in protein that a larger
bulk must be consumed than the ca
pacity of the average COW will permit.
The substitution of roughness rich
in protein for an expensive concen-
trate will enable the dairyman to make
milk and butter at less cost and will
thus solve one of his most serious
problems.
In substituting alfalfa hay for wheat
bran it will be best to allow one and
one-half pounds of alfalfa to each
pound of wheat bran, and the results
are likely to prove more satisfactory
if the alfalfa is fed in finely chopped
condition.
These tests indicate that with alfal-
ia hay at $40 ton and wheat bran at
$40 the saving effected by substituting
alfalfa for wheat bran would be $500
for every 100 pounds of butter and 1913
cents for every 100 pounds of milk.
The farmer could thus afford to sell
his milk for 1913 cents hundred less
than he now receives and his butter
for about % cents, as compared with
25 cents a pound.
| These experiments show why alfalfa
has been frequently used as a basis of
manufactured foodstuffs, and indicate
that the farmer who can grow it makes
mistake in purchasing artificial
stuffs of which it forms the basis.
When alfalfa was fed under the
most favorable conditions gallon of
milk was obtained for 81 cents and
pound of butter for 10A cents. When
COW pea hay was fed the lowest cost
of a gallon of milk was So cents and
of pound of butter 9.4 cents. In
localities where peas have grown well
It can be utilized to replace wheat
bran, and in sections where alfalfa
can be grown this crop can be substi-
tuted for cow pea hay with satisfac-
ton.
