When going into building project
there are three considerations OF I'M
portance that present themselves, In
the first place there Is the design or
outward appearance of the structure,
next the arrangement of the dwelling
inside for comfort and convenience,
and last the cost of the building.
There is apt TO be wide range of
choice in regard TO the first factor
the design or outward appearance OF
the house. This is a matter to be de-
cided according to the taste OF the
owner and the requirements OF the
building site. 1t is proverbial that
tastes differ widely; so there can be
no definite fixed requirements along
that line Also the needs of different
locations vary greatly 1t has been
said that we plan the outside OF our
houses to please the nelghbors, or to
make a brave show from the street
Accordingly this first factor, that of
outward appearance, may Mt times be
Of very little real importance, although
OF course everyone would prefer to
live in as attractive a dwelling place
as possible.
All things considered, the interior Of
residence is far more important than
the exterior Real satisfaction In a
home comes from the comfortable,
coy and inviting features Of the living
room; the bright cheerlulness Of the
dining room. and the conveniences
provided not only in the kitchen and
pantry, but also in the other parts of
the house. 1t matters little what the
outside appearance is--granted OF

THE proof of the pudding is in the
eating," and the proof of success in
the poultry business is in the profit
made at selling time
You must begin to plan as to when
and how you are going to market
your fowls about as soon as the eggs
are set-or even before, so as to know
what your aim is to be-whether ma
ture dressed poultry, birds for breed
ing, or frying chickens. OF course il
all depends upon what the demand in
your vicinity is for. If you live where
there will be sale for good birds for
breeding, it may not pay you to sell
many fowls to the market. If you find
good call for broilers or small chicks
for frying-and these usually bring
| good prices-you might do your best
work in raising some kind of early

The meat is not bit better, but yoll

buyer comes into market.
AS soon as the pullets can be told
from the roosters, they should be sep

them for breeding, the surplus males
should be fattened and disposed of as
early as possible.
If you want to hurry them onto the
market. one of the very best plans is

During the last year there has been
more interest awakened in alfalfa cul
ture than ever before. Dairymeu,
stock men and others have boosted
the proposition. Scientific farmers
have declared that the culture of al.

available moisture. However, the
growing Of alfalfa requires close study
much patience and . high degree of
skill.
The returns to alfalfa farmers in
1912 averaged a.si tons per acre for
