American home builders. Especially
IN the suburbs or outlying districts Of
our cities, where busy workers of the
day seek rest amid surroundings like
those of the country, and where even
those of moderate means find it impos-
sible to call their home their own, the
bungalow is in constantly increasing
evidence.

DISEASES OF
IRISH POTATO


BIackleg, bacterial disease OF the
stem and tuber OF the potato, is APP
parently becoming widely distributed
throughout some parts of the United
States. In most states It Is not COM

In no region has it done much dam

pest In some sections.
The attacked plants are usually un-
thrifty. light green or even yellow,
and understood. The branches and
leaves have tendency to grow up
ward, forming a rather compact top,
often with the young leaves curled
and folded up along the mfd-rib.
The most characteristic thing about
them is the inky-b1ack discoloration
OF the stem, at or below the surface

inches above ground. The seed-piece

ORIGIN Of clerk.

A clerk. we have had occasion to
point out, says the London Chronicle,
is SO called because he can read and
write. The full genealogical story
connected with that is striking ex-
ample OF the adaptability OF words.
For the source OF clerk" ..c1ericals
and CLERGY" is word that has moth
ing sto do. necessarily. with either
scholarship or priesthood-the Greek
eskleroc.'' a lot. There are various
views as to the manner in which
"clericus'' was derived from this, some
holding that the service of God was
regarded as the lot or portion of the
priests, others that they were them
selves the portion of the Lord, and
others that original choice Of them by
lot may be the explanation The later
developments OF clerk" are more Ia
miIiar; our modern CLERK, comes
from the fact that at one time the
clergy alone could write. And so it Is
that q clerical error can be com
mitted by any. layman.

Soy Beans and Cow Peas for Hens.
Al most interesting investigation re-
Gently conducted by the bureau Of ami
mai industry has had for its object
the determination OF the palatability
of soy beans and cow peas as feed
for laying hens. Three pens were
used each receiving In addition to
their mash q grain feed composed in
the check pen of equal parts Of
wheat and whole corn, and in the 9TH
er pens cow peas and soy beans in
place OF the wheat After few days
both the COW peas and the soy beans
were eaten readily and apparently
reIished. The hens seemed to do
quite as well on the COW peas or the
soy beans as on the ration containing
wheat.

India was the original home of the
bungalow, the native name for this
type of house being bang1a, which
signifies country house of one floor
only. On account Of the increasing
popularity of the bungalow style of
building in our own country it will be
Of interest to note some OF the spe-
cfal characteristics associated with
these structures In the land Of their
origin
In India 1t is the Europeans who
live in the bungalows, which are built
In all sizes and styles. according to
the taste and wealth of the owner.
The single ground-hoor plan is fire.
Quently departed from by the addition
Of rooms utilizing the under-roof grace
on the second door. Invariably, how
ever, the bungalow is surrounded with
a veranda, the roof of which affords q
shelter from the sun, though In Amer
lea the veranda is often confined to
one end of the house or run only part
of the way around. In the chief cities
of Calcutta, Madras and Bombay some
of the bungalows assume the proper
tons Of palatial residences, but
In the smaller towns they are
OF more modest pretensfons. In gen.
eral, they are provided with exterior
Offices or buildings to accommodate
the large retinue of servants common
In Indian life.

military bungalows on a large scale
