self is shown in the accompanying
plan. For some reasons this style OF
building has more to recommend It
than almost any other design. 1t was
the first way invented to make q
house larger without making it too
long.
In the early history of building oper-
atlons, houses were made narrow be-
cause window lights were small and
1t was difficult to light wide room.
1t was also more difficult to build a
wide house at that time, because they
hadn't sawed joists, and they lacked
the mechanical contrivances that we
now have for putting buildings to-
gether. A floor with hewed timber
beams more than 16 feet long was al
together too shaky; in fact, floors
used to go down into the cellar occa-
sionally when parties of young folks
got too boisterous.
Although this way of building a
house is several hundred years old,
1t is still as popular as ever. and the
reason is that houses built in this way
make very comfortable homes. They
have home-like appearance as you
stand and look at them, and when you
go inside they are SO light and cheer
full that you feel at home in time
The only objection is that every
room in the house has two or three
outside walls, and for this reason it
is little more difficult to heat such
houses in cold weather; but We have
learned how to protect ourselves
against low temperature by using
building paper and other non-conduc-
tors of heat and cold Then, when
you consider that during the ordinary
winter, even in the northern states,
we have only few days of extreme
cold against so weeks of moderate or
warm weather. this objection fades

CANADA,S PROSPERITY.

The New Yo-k Times of March %,
1912, in an article dealing with Cana
da's progress, says:
AT the present moment eight ship
loads of European immigrants are
afioat for Canada, while there are
signs that the outward movement
which is customary with US during
labor troubles will be marked this
year. There is no such startling rec
ord Nof our loss to Canada. Our citi-
zens quietly slip lover the border in
groups or trainloads, but their going
is not advertised. ~
There is no mystery why Canada
is the good thing the United States
used to be. 1t is because Canada is
following in it's neighbours footsteps
that it is repeating the fortunate ex-
perience which its neighbor is envy
ing, even while deliberately turning
its back on the teachings of the past.
A fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus of s39.0OO,O0O, and on Thurs
day the Government passed through
the Committee on Supply credits of
$38,O00000 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and COM
PEELED to increase their facilities. Ac-
cordingly we find a single road allot-
ting ten millions for work of its own.
Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work. This influx is apart from those
Americans who go with money in their
pockets obtained by cashing in their
high-priced American lands.
"A ST. Paul dispatch says that with
in a fortnight two thousand carloads
of farm animals and machinery have
passed toward Canada, the property
of men who expect to pay for their
farms with the first CROP"

FIGHT ON TURKEY PARASITES
Youngsters Must Be Protected Fror,
Excessive Heat and Dampness,
Says Government Bulletin.

No kind of young poultry is so ans.
ceptlDle to the effects of unfavorable
conditions as the young turkey. They
must be carefully protected from the
attacks OF parasites, and from excess
sive heat and dampness, says a gov
eminent bulletin, until they have
gained sufficient strength and size to
wander away with the parent tur-
keys and care for themselves on the
range.
The chief danger from lice and
mites attacks to the poults is direct
~ after the pOults are Matched. but
the best remedy is to deal with the
hen before the young are Matched.
The plumage of the hen should be
busted with insect powder. and close
down to the skin from head to hook
Joint, being careful not to get it into
the eyes. This should be done at
least twice week until two or three
days before Matching.
The most careful attentions should
be given to this. Never use lime or
sulphur for this purpose. Nothing is
better than some insect powder, If it
does not contain ingredients that are
injurious to the eyes.
1t may often occur, however, that
the hen will not have been properly
treated, and also the lice and mites
will be found on the young, and in
order that the poults may live and
thrive, they must be freed of thees
enemies. AS soon as the young are
ready to leave the nest they must be
examined carefully for lice, which
may be on the top Of the head, under
the throat or about the wings or
vent. Some Of them are gray in color
and difficult to see.
They may be destroyed by the use
Of sweet oil, rubbing a small amount
upon the head and throat; insect pow
der is sufficient for the other parts
Of the body. 1t is very important
that only small amount Of the sweet
oil be used, as too much is injurious.
Kerosene should never be used to
destroy parasites.

Feed dry feeds-no mashes.
For the first feeds use plenty OF
dry oatmeal.
Now is the best time to try your
breeding stock.
Chills, wet food and lack OF sum
shine are the main causes of bowel
trouble in chicks.
Where the dropping boards are
made of matched lumber the job or
cleaning them is easier.
This is good time to put square
Of tar paper in the bottom of each
nest bow for the benefit of lice.
If new noultry house is to Dc
buflt this spring see if there isn't q
sandy spot handy on which to locate
it.
If all the chickens and full-grown
hens run together, the stronger chick
ems will get most of the feed and
keep the others poor.
In operating brooders remember
that uniform heat should always be
maintained. It is better to have q
little too much heat than too little.

into insignificance. The fact is most
of our winter weather hovers around
the freezing point, thawing little in
the daytime and freezing at night. 1t
is easy to keep even large house
comfortable all through with such
temperatures, and you can keep part
of it warm the coldest days II the
house is we'll built.
We value light and fresh air more
than our grandfathers did, because we
know more about the Importance OF
such things in regard to health. We
understand that people who live in
the open AFR and sunshine usually
have very little use for the doctor.
We have figured it out scientifically;
so we know the reason why.
1t is easy to lay out house of this
kind into good comfortable rooms

Simplest Way Of All.

The following story the Saturday
Evening Post says is told of Col.
George w. Goethals, who at the time
it took place was an instructor in en-
cheering at West Point.
One day, in a recitation he gave out
this question to class of cadets:
The post fagpole, sixty feet high,
has fallen down. You are ordered by
your commanding officer to put it up
again. You have under your command
a sergeant and ten privates of the en-
gineer corps. How would you get the
pole back into placer"
Each cadet, after long consideration
and much figuring over the derricks,
blocks, tackle and SO on, evolved a
different method.
mo-" said Goethals, you are all
wrong. You would simply say: Ser
geant. put up that flagpole!'"

necessary, and get away from it as

he would realize fully what he had

good deal depends on the house plan
in the first place, but more depends
on the housekeeper, because one per-
son will make house comfortable
and inviting, while another woman
who works just as hard perhaps has
the faculty of making things rather
unpleasant. The chairs may be too
nice to sit down in, or there may be
a lot of bric-a-brac in the way-stufr
you are afraid OF breaking or disar-
ranging. The study of home means
much more than the plan and manner
of building the house.
This plan may be carried out at a
cost of from $4,000 to $4,000.
