Something OF beauty, as well as @

conditions, is needed to make a farm
home attractive. In planning such a
home, let not this be forgotten. A
wide sweep of lawn between the house
and the road; a background of trees
and shrubbery; low Towering bushes
planted close to the foundation and
serving, as it we're, TO bind the house
to the soil; vines over the porch or
bordering the window frames-all
these do much to beautify the house.
From she erection OF the first house,
however. modest. the home-maker
should plan for the future as we'll as
for today He should avoid building
too near the road; remembering that
prosperity may ere long enable him
to build larger home. which may
often be most satisfactorily placed in
front of the old one. Barns and other
buildings should be located in such
relation to one another as to allow
for improvements which will result
in harmonious whole.

CBy r. r. HARE.)

The increased use of the prickly
pear as feed for all classes of rumi-
nants. especially for range and dairy
cattle, makes It important for the
proper preparation of a ration that
the feeder knows how much digestible
nutrients to expect from feeding a
given quantity of the plant either
alone or mixed with other feeding
stuffs.
Many chemical analyses have been
made of number Of different mem
bers of the cactus family to determine
their value as feed for animals. and
while this data gives, with fair de-
gree of accuracy, the amount Of the
various nutrients contained in the diff
ferent species of the cacti. no reliable
record of digestion experiments hes
been found. so that it has been i'm
possible to say just what proportion
Of the different nutrients were avail
able to the animals
In order to determine the digesti-
bility of the prickly pear and thus
guide the feeder in the preparation
of rations from this plant, extensive
investigations have recently been
made in Texas. New Mexico and other
southwestern states.
The principle of conducting a diges-
ton experiment Is very simple. First,
the animal is fed the feeding stuff the
digestibility of which is to be deter
mined until all other feeds have been
removed from the alimentary canal.
The animal is then placed in stall
specially designed for feeding and for
collecting refuse without waste. II
is then fed weighted amount OF the
feeding stuff. the composition OF
which is determined by analysis. All
the refuse is collected, weighed, an
alyzed. and the amount of the sew
eral nutrients which 1t is found to
contain is subtracted from the amount
OF the corresponding nutrients fed.
A good idea of the stalls used in
these experiments may be obtained
from the illustration. They are made
of proper length and breadth, SO that
the animals may lie down comforta-

SAVING TIME WITH THE WASH
BY This Scheme II Really Seems
That Person Can DO Two
Things at Once.

To the housewife who must do most
OF her own work here is saving Of
time. Fold evenly and shake well a
sheet, which lay smoothly on the iron
ing board. On this iron your daintily
embroidered waists and underwear.
After waist Is half ironed. move
sheet along and finish waist. A little
experience will show you how TO run
iron on along the hens and edges
without extra effort. Turn sheet over
already folded as above, and iron an
other waist. 10 and behold. you have
two articles smoothly ironed. Never
sprinkle the sheets. The dampness
from the other articles dampens them
sufficiently. On pillow cases iron all
your handkerchiefs and napkins, col
lars. etc. You viii be surprised at the
rapidity with which your basket emp
ties and at the scheming you can do
to Iron two things at once. Do not
iron long on the same sheet or pillow
case-you will find 1t yellowed and
worn thin. Only iron till 1t is nicely
smooth. All unstarched articles iron
much easier when just taken from the
line. Old ginghams, such as kitchen
aprons and old house dresses. iron
smoothly when just dry. and unsprin-
kled, even though starched. While
the woman is finishing the wash you
can be hustling the iron over these
things.

FIXING THE TOUGH CHICKEN
One OF the Best Ways by Which

Tender and Palatable.

When the chicken" ordered by

are several ways of Transforming 1t

sistance. In fact, by the following
method such fowls have been made as
tender as spring chickens: Let the
bird. after drawing. seasoning and
stuffing. simmer until over half done.
Then place IT In the oven with piece
OF pork laid over its breast. Pour the
liquor over and around the roast in
the pan. Finish the cooking in very
hot oven. basting frequently with the
drippings. When ready to serve skim
of any superffuous fat that may be In
the pan before preparing the gravy.
The pork prevents the fowl from be-
coming dry, and If small onion is
also added 1t will have more savory

Granite Of the South.

When one speaks of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 1t
Is difficult to associate granite with
any section Of North America outside
New England, yet 1t must now be ac-
knovledged to the credit of the south
that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities of stone of good quality
which insures the south place in
the market at any rate.
The annual output is now worth
about s3,500,000 and the industry is
growing. 1t may be of comparative
interest to know that New England's
output is about s9.o00.O0O worth OF
stone annually.

dry feeding stuff win increase the d.
gestibility of both.
During the experiments the animals
being tested. when fed prickly pear
alone, seldom drank water. In fact.
in feeding a ration of 100 pounds OF
this feed per day the animals obtained
from the feed over eight gallons OF
water, which is more than was usual
ly drunk by them when fed cured fod-
ders alone.
A ration for 1,000-pound mich
COW of so pounds of prickly peal. ten
pounds of wheat bran, and ten pounds
of alfalfa. would furnish about the
correct theoretical amount of nutri-
ents.
In the prickly pear region of Texas
a ration consisting of this feeding
stuff with cottonseed meal is very
common. 1t is customary and better
to give the cattle either the run OF a
dry grass pasture or some coarse feed
in connection with this ration, as 1t
win serve the double purpose of wild
ening the too narrow ration produced

bly,, but not wide enough to permit
them to turn around.
The experiments developed the fact
that animals scour badly when fed
prickly pear alone: besides. other
feeds are needed to supply the proper
amount of proteids. For these rea-
sons 1t is better not to feed it alone.
When prickly pear is fed with
cured folders or grains the digesti-
bility OF both is increased. In feeding
mixed ration of prickly pear and al
falfa or prickly pear and cottonseed
meal. the general effect is to increase
the digestibility Of all three feeds.
