economy may be found in the arrange

of access to living room, dining room

II the well-proportioned simple
exterior TIE English type, which is
growing rapidly in popularity, is sug-
gested. A treatment of novelty siding
is shown in the perspective, but
shingles or cement stucco could be
used, if desired, with even more
effective features of the exterior are
the dignifed canopied entrance, with
Dutch door, the graceful lines of the

CALF RAISING.
Value of Milk Demonstrated BY ILL
nois Experiment Station.

At the Illinois station series of
three tests were conducted to demon
strate the value of milk in calf raising
and to ascertain the minimum amount
of milk necessary to insure to the
calves a satisfactory start in life.
The first test was preliminary and
indicated that during the first two
weeks the calves must be fed a rea-
sonable amount of milk containing
about per cent. butter fat (this to be
gradually changed to skim milk, the
calves receiving practically all of their
nourishment up to eight weeks from
the milk. Following this, a grain sup
-plement may be fed.
The results of the second test ind1-
Gated that it was possible to raise
calves on a moderate amount of milk,
the average amount required being 1872
lbs. of whole milk and 435 lbs skim
milk. These calves made an average
gain of SIS lbs. during the first 70 days
of their lives.
During the third test more whole
milk was fed but it was found to be
unnecessary. The cot of the nilk-fed
each Calf varied from $1.61 to S4.62,
which is considered comparatively
low.
The experiments suggest the value
of choice alfalfa hay in calf-raising.

MILK AND BUTTER
SCORING EXHIBITIONS.
First of Four TO Be Held at Connect
cut Agricultural College Scheduled
for May 26.

The first of a series of quarterly
educational milk and butter scorings
Will be held at the Connecticut Agri-
cultural college, Storrs, Conn, on We'd
nesday, May Is. The samples must
be shipped to Superintendent Milk and

arrive there not later than s D. m
Tuesday, May 25- These scoring ex-
hibitions are to be held under the di-
rection Of the agricultural college, ex-
tension service, cooperating with the
State Dairymen's association. Those
cooperating to make the exhibitions
possible feel that in this state where
so much market milk is sold that scor-
lngs OF this kind will help tremendous
ly in improving the quality and adj
vancing the price of milk. There is
also need at this time of raising the
standard of quality of our Connecticut
butter. These scoring exhibitions can
be a most important factor in bringing
this about.
The milk will be examined for bac-
terra, flavor, sediment, fat, solids not
fat, and acidity. The government score
card with a few changes will be used.
The exhibitions are designed to be of
great educational benefit to the dairy
dairy products in the state. No prizes
will be offered.

the plan of the exhibitions in detail,
is now in print, and this circular, to-
gether with entry blanks, will be sent
out in few days to all members of
the Dairymen's association. These ex-
hlbitions are, however, not limited to

Time That II Should Be Piowed In

Soon the growth of rye which is to

will be getting so large that unless
carefully handled. It will result in a
physical standpoint Thus it is recon-
mended to those who are planning to
plow under a crop of rye to be fol-
lowed later with a cultivated crop that
they do not allow the rye to get so
rank that the moisture will not be af-
fected by injuring the capillary attrac-
ton. When the rye gets to be two
feet in height, one should beware of
letting it stand longer unless it is to
be followed later in the summer by
another green manure crop, in which
case it is desirable to get as much
growth as is possible before the It's

PREPARE SEED BEDS WELL.

Too much emphasis cannot be laid
on the preparation of the seed bed
thoroughly. a delay of day in the
putting in on the seed should be made
rather than put the seed into bed
that is half prepared. The extra cost
in labor and time will far more than
oVerbalance the time saved in seeding
An ideal seed bed is one that is well
settled, and free from weed seeds. A
thorough narrowing is the only rem
edy that can be applied to the half
prepared seed bed.

TIME TO CULTIVATE ORCHARDS

1t is high time in nearly all cases
that orchards were plowed and har-
rowed for the first time where the
owner plans to cultivate rather than
practice sod mulch. The moisture is
being drawn out of the land rapidly
and all should exercise care to con-
serve this moisture as the trees will
need it all before the season is over.
Cultivation will also help make more
soil, thus helping them to grow rap
idly through May and June, their nor
NAL growing season.

thousands were turned away in the
opening game.
Among the interested spectators
were Ambassador and Mrs. Guthrie,

pitched a one-hit game, struck out IL
