Almost perfect as regards comfort
and economy is the little house illus
trated in the perspective view and
door plans herewith. 1t is six-room
house p feet wide by 3S feet long, ex-
elusive of the porch. 1t would be diff
cult to put the same amount of build
Ing material together in any other
form to make such a perfect arrange
ment OF rooms, and not exceed in cost
the amount Of money that this house
can be built for. Prices vary so much
In different parts Of the country that
1t is impossible to make an estimate of
cost which will apply to every loca-
hon; but range varying from 81 400
to *l,7OO may be given as a rough es-
innate for this cosy little cottage.
The tastes Of individuals in selecting
materials has a great deal to do with
the cost of a house-in quality of I'm
ish and hardware. The cost of extra
hne locks and hinges is not so much
In itself; but If the same grade of fur
nishing Is carried throughout there
will be a great difference in the final
footing up Of the bill. We have all
heard Of the story about the man who
was ruined by pair OF lace curtains.
When the curtains were hung it was
discovered that everything else about

stead of being regarded as an enemy
by western orchardists. the blackhead
should be esteemed as a friend. since
1t is foe to the worst pests of horti-
culturists - the scale insects - which
compose fourth of its food The
black olive scale alone constitutes a
fifth Of the birds subsistence, and the
frosted scale and apricot scale also

The blue grosbeak Is a small but
beautiful bird which breeds over the
southern two-third7 of the United
States. Blue grosbeaks do no damage
during the nesting period, and, in fact,
are Of great value to any farm they
choose for a home. since they eat
many insects. tenth of the sub
sistence is made up of purslane cater
pillars and cotton cut-worms, enemies
of sugar beets and cotton. Because of
its effective warfare on these pests.
the blue grosbeak is an efficient ally
of the farmer and deserves to be pro-
teCted
The gray grosbeak. parrotbill, enters
the United States only in Texas, Ari-
IONA, and New Mexico. Like the blue
grosbeak it is more fond of cater
pillars and grasshoppers than of other
insects Weevils are next in order of
preference. In August and Sep
tember seyen-tenths of the gray gros-
beaks food is weed seed, fivetenths
consisting exclusively of the seeds OF
two of the most important weeds of
the south, namely, foxtan, and bur
grass. So far as known, the gray
grosbeak eats practically no beneficial
insect and damages no crop. This, in
| addition to the fact that it feeds upon
noxious weed and insect pests, entities
it to complete protection.
Planting wild fruit is important for
the purpose of attracting birds. Be-
sides the fruits above mentioned, the
following are valuable: Dogwoods,
hollies, juniper, bayberry. Virginia
creeper. blueberries, blackberries and
wild grapes. Not all the thickets on
farm should be removed, since they
serve to harbor birds. to protect them
from enemies, and to furnish nesting
sites. Where thickets are lacking, the
growth Of artificial ones should be
encouraged for they are very attrac-
tive to grosbeaks. particularly to the
cardinal.
A permanent drinking and bathing
place on the farm and in the garden
is to be numbered among the most
potent attractions for birds. and with
little ingenuity one can be prepared
in almost any locality. Winter feed
ing serves to attract the cardinal.
which relishes corn, sunflower. and
other seeds. and takes kindly even to
table scrap. If particular premises
prove congenial as winter home, the
bird is likely to prefer them in sum
mer
No efforts to attract grosbeaks will
succeed, however, unless protection i5
assured. Grosbeaks are already pro
tected by law in practically every
state but, since the machinery for the
enforcement of the laws is often in
effective, statutory protection must be
supplemented by individual action
particularly under trespass laws.

Recoanlze Equality of Women.

In the Pacific ocean, far beyond
China and Japan, lie the only two
countries in the world which fully &C
knowledge the equality of men and
women by giving political rights to
all citizens of twenty-one, regardless
of sex. They are New Zealand and
Australia.
New Zealand was the first by a
dozen years to put her daughters on
suffrage equality with her sons. 1t
was in 1867 that the cry was raised,
Shall our mothers, wives and sisters
have suffrage?"
The answer was given in 1893 by the
full enfranchisement OF women. In
Australia the chance came more grad
ually, province by province. But a few
years ago the final concession was
made, and now Australian women, like
their sisters of New Zealand, are the
equals in this way Of their husbands,
brothers and sons.

But there is a greater advantage
than this. The open fire is not only
the most cheerful fire that you can
have, but it is the best ventilator that
was ever put into a house. You can
not have good air in a dwelling with
out some proper means of changing it,
and this should be continuous. You
can open the doors and windows once
In while, and let the foul air out and
the fresh, pure air from the outside
come in and take its place. but you
can't be doing this all the time. On
the other hand. a fire in the CRATE is

notice they usually open their pocket

Another point of superiority about
this house is the arrangement Of the
dining room. china closet. pantry and
kitchen. 1t would be difficult to In
vent an arrangement better than this
for a woman who does her own work
There is, in addition, a good closet off
the dining room, to hold hundred
things which a woman likes to have
near by, but which are not always in
sight. The fine large dining room
window is a good place, for example,
for the sewing machine, but a woman
does not care to store a sewing ma

arrangement here given. the machine
can easily be wheeled into the closet

ticult and expensive to screen some
porches, but this one is an exception.
Screening can be done so easily that
there is no excuse for leaving the
porch open as an invitation for flies
and mosquitoes.

The Separator Helps.

The fine working parts of the cream
separator will collect more dust,
grease, etc, during the cold weather
than in the summer, making it neces-
sary to run some coal oil through it to
clean and loosen it up.
The separator now supplies cream
that is pure cream at all seasons.
There was never a more opportune
time for home butter making. If done
in the proper manner it can easily
compete with the creamery, for the
latter has all classes Of milk supplied.

WHAT CAUSES COLDS ?

This question and "How to Prevent
Colds" is asked a thousand times
every day. A cold is really fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due TO disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they lis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in SCOTS Emulsion
quickly overcome colds and build
strength to prevent more serious sick
ness. ? 1t contains natures medicinal
fats, so skillfully prepared that the
blood profits from every drop. and it i
free from harmful drugs or alcohol. y
