Department of Agriculture Makes a
Plea For Economical Buildings.
The Importance to the farmer of hav-
ing an economical farmhouse has been
emphasized by the farm architect of
the department of agriculture, who
states that the mental and physical fit
ness of the laborers both within the
house and in the fields is vitality affect
ed by the building that affords the
family shelter. The average American
farmhouse has failed to share in the
improvements that are every day be-
ing made in agricultural conditions
and, according to the architect. is re-
buke to our boosted civilization. Rel
atively. he says. the housewife of a
century ago. with her fireplace cooking
and log cabin, was better provided for
than is the housewife today.
The most important building on a
farm is the home The health. comfort
and happiness of the family are de-
pendent upon it's construction and
equipment. and unless these matters
are looked after the sanitary dairy

ORCHARD oCCAslONALs.

An Usage range hedge is an ideal
breeding place for San Jose scale.
Pears are treated in much the same
manner as apples.
Judicious pruning is one Of the Sc
crets in growing good grapes.
Pears are adapted to clay soil,
peaches to sandy soil, while apples
do best ON light loamy soil.
If you have poor Seeding pear or
apple tree it may be entirely made
over by top grating.
The young trees should be banked
with earth, which will keep water
from settling about them.
An orchard will live longer bear bat
ter and be more profitable by being
well cultivated and enriched
Keep the orchard land in good filth
The trees can be set as soon as the
frost leaves the ground.

barn and the economically constructed
buildings for stock are of little value.
Happiness and contentment in the
family are as essential to efficient serv-
ice as improved tools and outbuildings.
Although the housewife spends. in
many cases, a lifetime in her work
shop" the kitchen and the family
rooms, she is not, as rule. capable Of
planning house in the highest degree
serviceable and comfortable without
assistance. Her help. however. is es-
sential to the farm architect. as the re-
suit Of his plans most vitality concerns
her.
In 1910 western farm paper, at the
suggestion Of the department of agri-
culture. conducted competition for
farmhouse plans. About geo plans of
farmhouses were submitted. not one Of
which was fully satisfactory. The lar
ger number insisted on some particu-
lar pet notion and emphasized single
feature to the neglect Of other impor-
tant ones. The men and women who
familiarize themselves with the work
to be done and then apply themselves
to the single task Of devising means
are the ones who. with the co-operat ton
Of the farmers and their wives. can
best handle the farmhouse problem.
One Of the most important details
regarding the average American farm
house Is that it must be inexpensive.
The average annual net income Of
farmer today after deducting < per
cent interest on his Investment is less
than $500. This does not mean that
the houses may not be attractive
They may. if intelligently planned with
the help of vines. shrubs and trees. be-
come the prettiest spots in the land
scape. and more beautiful and mex
pensive than the crowded city houses.
After economy in the construction Of
the building end in the house work has
been attained. attention will be given
to developing beauty. Simplicity in
line and good proportions are meant
by the use of this word beauty and not
so called applied ornaments. This
simplicity is entirely in keeping with
a general plan Of economy
Economy. however. is not synonym
for cheapness. Double strength glass
may even be more economical in a
tenant house than single strength. not
withstanding it's greater first cost. A
kitchen sink may be a paying invest
ment. although it excludes Il bay win.

COUNTY BOARD OF EDUcA-
TON.

"The County Board Of Education"
is new board which will be elected
in the county outside of the city, at
the coming election. 1t will be COM
posed of five members who will have
charge of townships and village boards,
1t will have power to appoint an as
sistant superintendent if necessary.
It also has the power to fix the eX-
pense of the county superintendent.
1t looks as if this was but another at
tempt of the powers that be, in this
state, to pile on the taxes. Aren't
the various towns of our county able
to take care and conduct their own
schools? And is not the county
board able to FIX the county superin-
tendent's expense account? 1t is a
law and a board will have TO be
elected, but it shows the necessity Of
cleaning out the expensive gang now
in charge of state politics andre-adjust-
ing things. As long as such board
must be elected it would be we'll to
choose ablesand efficient men such as
would help materially in making the
law one to be tolerated. B. E. Wal
tiers of Mosinee, and Prof. NJ. Morten-
son of Stratford, have so far been
persuaded to allow their names to go
on the ticket.
