A romring; madcap, bewitch-
ing Irish girl, as Irish as St. Pat
rick's day in the morning, is
turned over to the care of arts
tocratic English relatives. They
are stiff and artificial, and she
is as sweet and natural as q
healthy country girl a be.
They dislike her, but Peg holds
her ov1 with jaunty pride and in
the end, by her generosity and
big heartedness, wins them over,
and, What is more, wins her for
tune, and, What is still more, wins
a very gallant lover. This, in
6rief is the story of a play
which by its originality, sweet-
ness and charm has been inc of
the most phenomenal successes
View York has seen in a long
time. The author of the play
has turned it into a novel, so
syn1patheticazly, so brilliantly,
that Peg as a heroine of fiction
is as lovabze as she mas on the
stage.

TROUBLES OF YOUNG CHICKS
Caused by Loco Weed Poisoning Separate filling Birds.

When young chicks show up with blisters, or something akin to blis- ters, on the head and feet, one must take the locality in mind when try ing to determine the ailment.
 If it is in a land where loco weed and its kindred grow. and the chicks run out in all manners of weather or time of day. then one must look around for the loco weed that is poisoning the chicks head and feet and binding its eyes; but if in land where this poi sonous plant is unknown. then but one other disease suggests as the req son. and this is chickenpox.
 For the loco poison the chicks must be kept away from it, especially when wet or damp, and the blister can be treated with peroxide of hydrogen. di- luted half. followed by the application of carbohzed ointment.
 Again, should it prove chickenpox. the diseased chicks must be taken from the we'll and the quarters disin. fected Feed sthem heavily, stirring three or four grains of sulphur each day in their feed; treat the head and sore eyes with the remedy given for the sores of loco poison. If the blis ters develop into warty looking ulcers kill the chick and burn it.

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF sow

(By R. c. WEATHERSTONE)
 An important feature in the success full management of the SOW and litter is to get the youngsters to feed as early as possible. This pays in two ways-it saves some of the drag on the SOW and it gets the pigs fit to wean earlier. releasing the SOW from her maternal duties.
 Moreover, when the pigs are re- moved from the SOW. which is gener- ally fortnight too soon, they are much better fit to do without her milk and also much less liable to the con- vulsive attacks so common in newly weaned pigs. whose stomachs are un- accustomed to deal with the coarse food often too plentifully supplied to them.
 Indigestion. constipation and fits" are very intimately connected and all are due to improper feeding.
 The best way to teach young pigs to eat is to provide run or creep" into an adjoining pen to which the SOW cannot obtain access. or to feed them while she Is turned out to get some exercise.

 It is fashionable to leave the chim- ney brickwork exposed. Very often rough, dark-colored brick are used with colored mortar to match The chimneys are large and the mantels are heavy, with woodwork extending to the floor on both sides of the chim- ney.

Modern woodwork is attractive. because 1t is sensible and because it is matched together with artistic uni formity.
 House interiors are made as light as possible. Large windows and plen- ty of them. light-colored walls and white ceilings. are almost universal in the newer houses.

Prepared by the United States Depart

 The method Of handling the alfalfa field to get the largest returns is one which interests a large number of farmers both growers of alfalfa and prospective growers. Experiments re- corded in the United States depart ment bulletin No. 22s, Effect of Ere quent Cutting on the Water Require ments of Alfalfa and Its Bearing on Pasturage," indicate that the total con- sumption of water by alfalfa can be controlled to a considerable extent by pasturage or frequent clipping, with out serious injury to the plants. Thus by pasturing or clipping the crop its growth can be regulated to accord with the amount of available moisture in the soil.
 With a limited amount of stored moisture it is evident the greatest pro- duction can be obtained by allowing the crop to grow when the water re- quirement is the lowest in the spring or fall, and by keeping the leaf sur face at a minimum during the sum- mer through clipping or pasturage The efficiency of reducing the size of the aerial portion of the plant as a means of moisture conservation dur ing periods of drought has often been observed.
 Whenever the moisture supply falls short of the amount necessary to pro- duce normal crops throughout the sea- son, summer grazing appears to afford a simple and practical means of ob- taining a return from alfalfa commen- surate with the available moisture and at the same time reduces the danger of drought injury. When the moist ure supply is adequate for continuous crop production throughout the sea son, it is believed that close pastur age or clipping would result in marked reduction in the amount of alfalfa produced. Consequently, where
The Spectator., 1915-07-06

grazing is practiced greater production can be secured by intermittent graz ing; that Is, by employing several fields which are pastured in rotation.
 A practice similar to that suggested above has been gradually developed in Australia and gives the best return in the management of Australian al- falfa land. The practice Is to grow hay crop in the early spring and to der of the year. Aside from the hay obtained, alfalfa is very valuable in Australia for grazing purposes, be- cause it responds to summer rainfall, while the native grasses, being an nuals, afford no late pasturage. On a large ranch near Wagga Wagga. N. S. w, 1000 acres of Peru vian alfalfa has been handled un- der this combined system of hay and pasturage. The alfalfa at this ranch carries three sheep per acre during the summer, autumn and win ter months. About the first of Sep tember (early spring. the sheep are
 
 riant growth during the cool spring months, and crop of from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds per acre of cured hay is obtained. The hay is produced when the weather is cool and the transporta- tion rate low-in other words. when the crop is making the most efficient use of the water supply The normal rainfall in this region is about 2l inches and is quite uniformly distrib- uted, each month having more than one inch of rainfall and only two months (June and October. corre- spending to our December and April, respectively more than two inches.
 This combined system of hay and pasturage has found much favor in New South Wales, and is carried out in a rolling plains country, where there is no chance of subirrigation, and on loam or sandy loam soils -.-

that are absolutely necessary to do a satisfactory job of house painting.
 Hip roofs or cottage roofs, as they are commonly called in many sections of the country, look better when the pitch is low. Old houses built in this stand plumb and are well painted. Hip roofs are cheaper to build than any other form of roof when the say ing in gables is figured in. It is all plain straight work except framing the rafters, and that job is no great puzzle. The roof may be made of light material, because it is easily braced and supported from the house partitions. Sometimes the studdings are extended to meet the rafters. When this is done very solid house frame is the result.
 There is a big cellar under this lit- tie cottage that may be made useful for storage by running partitions from the other rooms. The laundry in the basement of a cottage house or bungalow should amount to more than the laundry in a two-story house, be- cause the extra space should be made to count for as much as possible.
 The laundry under this house should be fitted with the usual stationary tubs, but it also needs laundry stove and large work table, a mangle and good ironing boards. There should be a good thick rug on the concrete floor to stand on while doing the ironing.
 Such a laundry room needs good deep windows that may be easily opened for ventilation when necessary. It then makes a shop where tools and labor-saving conveniences may be per manently installed for use week after week the year round. Too little at- tention is paid to labor-saving conven- fences to help out in house work.
 The floor plan of this cottage house is laid out for comfort. The two bed rooms and bathroom occupy one side of the house, preferably the side to the HUI LII UT cdSl. ue UGuIOOluS dTe used less than the living rooms and it Is not necessary to have much heat in bedroom.
 The living room and dining room could be easily made into one large living room with a fireplace in the far end. The only change necessary would be to connect the dining room and pantry with doorway, which would be an improvement over the plan of placing the doorway between the dining room and kitchen. The chimney would be larger and placed in the center of the dining room wall. This one big chimney would answer for the furnace in the basement, the kitchen range and the large fireplace in the living room without adding very much to the expense of the house.
