lot. But it often happens that the property is ruined by selecting a house too wide for the lot. Such building op erations tend to injure the neighbors on both sides. The selecting of the profile and the fitting Of the plan tc a lot requires more careful study than the plan itself.
 In designing this plan, especial at tention has been given to the living rooms. The two bedrooms and the bathroom occupy very little space, for the reason that little time is spent in these rooms compared wnh the long hours in what are generally designated 2s the living rooms"
 The two bedrooms, with the bath. room between, are very conveniently arranged. There is an extra door leading from the parlor into the front bedroom, for the reason that some families would furnish this little room as a den. The extension window in this front bedroom may be used as a recess to hold a folding bed-one of the various inventions which look like a davenport in the day time, but un- hinge at night and open out into a comfortable sleeping bed. In this way the room may be made to serve for both.
 There is . good deal to the work shop end of this little bungalow. which commences in the planning of the back entry by making room for the ice box to keep the ice man. with his muddy boots. off from the nice clean kitchen floor.
 The kitchen is large for a bungalow and in addition there is a fine large pantry. which makes considerable stor- age for provisions, canned fruit, etc.

and cracked corn. wheat screenings. etc, if such feeds are placed within their reach.
 The best way to feed grain to lambs is to make a creep for them. This is a pen in the pasture with an opening on each side through which the lambs can creep but small enough to keep the ewes out.
 If such a pen is made of slats set upright, the siats may be far enough apart to allow the lambs to creep through anywhere at pleasure.
 This pen or creep should be GOV cred so as to protect the grain from in which the grain should be kept all the time.
 The lambs will grow and thrive wonderfully and when weaning time comes they may be taken away from the ewes without any setback at all.
 Lambs mature quickly and make a better size if they are taught to eat grain as quickly as possible.
 While it is advisable to see the sheep often while they are on pas ture, still it is not necessary to stay with them all the time and good re- suits may be obtained with plenty of good water, salt and feed and week. ly visit, if the dogs do not trouble them.
 If, however. sheep-killing dogs are around, be on your guard with good shotgun.

vailed all through the house. from the basement 10 the attic.
 This bungalow is built with good basement, having a ceiling feet $ inches in height on purpose to ac- commodate a modern warm-air fur mace that requires considerable head room to work properly. We build a basement and install furnace in or der to keep every room in the house the same temperature ali through the day and evening. The window: are always left open in a warm house. so that the air is pure and the children are free from nasty colds.
 The front parlor in this bungalow is a grand room. It is 2i by F feet in size. with light on three sides, and it is liberally lighted, too.
 Such large windows interfere with mattress plan to keep a house dark and gloomy in the fall. They also interfere with the placing of large articles of furniture against the walls. The modern idea is to make living rooms big enough to place the furni- ture cut into the middle of the room. A very satisfactory arrangement is to place a big davenport facing the open fire. Back of the davenport a group of easy chairs may be arranged in sociable positions. If there is 2 parior table it is showed into tf 2 darkest corner of the room. whel e it IS merely tolerated as a doubtful ornament, but the big upholstered easy chaivs, tufted all over. have the best positions before the incest win lows, and their embraces are enjoyed on every possible occasion

RAISE PEANUTS IN
 NORTHERN SECTIONS
Spanish Variety Grows in a Bunch and Can Be Planted
 CIoseiy-Matures Early.
By HUGH G. GEINsTEAD.)

A few years ago 1: was thought that peanuts. or "goobers" as they are called in the South, could be raised only in the southern states. but now it Is known that they do fairly well as far north as Iowa, while they grow almost as well in Missouri as in the more southern states.
 The best variety to plant so far north is the Spanish, which grows in bunch, can be planted closer. and natures earlier and more even than the old Virginia varieties. The soil best suited to the growth of peanuts is sandy or warm and well drained.
 They should not be planted till the ground is warm, about the same time you would plant melons. Prepare the ground well. and drop the seed two in . hill 14 inches apart for the bunch kind. and about 20 inches apart for the vine kinds usually grown in the South.
 They should be kept clean. It is not necessary to cover the vine with dirt in order to get it to form nuts, as was once done. for the vines will throw out runners on which the nuts form by little roots running into the ground.
 l never saw a peanut plant quit bearing Like the cotton plant, they have fruit of all stages of growth when the crop is harvested, and, of course. the longer the season the larger the crop.
 As soon as there is danger of frost the vines should be pulled up. A fork should be run under the hill, loosening the ground so all the nuts may be pulled up with the vine. The vines may be allowed to remain n the field if the weather is good, or they may be taken to the barn and the nuts picked on at any time.
 If the vines are not allowed to get wet they make excellent hay. There will be many culls or imperfect nuts that are worth nothing and should be left on the vines for the stock.
 A pound of nuts from any good scotsman will plant enough for home use They are healthful food and contain much nourishment-

 By this time the sheep have been turned into pasture and I desire 70 give a few points on the feed for the flock during the time they are on grass.
 When you fasten the gate behind the flock when they are turned on the pasture do not think that your duties are ended until November.

 A little time will insure good start and cost but little.
 As soon as the ground can be worked, take a little strip of land, pre- fare a good seedbed and SOW in iape.

 As sheep want short, crisp grass 1t can be secured by this method with out overstocking the pasture and it would be well to have it so arranged that the sheep can be changed from one division to another once in two weeks.

Starts His Trees Right.

A western horticulturist. who has had a very extensive experience in orchard planting. says that he makes it a practice when planting a large orchard, to follow his planters and try to pull up the trees. When . sharp jerk fails to loosen tree. it is set firmly enough. But if the soil cracks or the tree pulls out. then it must be reset and the soil packed down as firmly as 1t should have been in the first place.

Eve Dorre' Rich in Scenes
Showing Recent Changes in
Gallo Character.

How France faced the great war i1
the beginning. and why France today
seems a different nation from that OF
1870. is beautifully illustrated in the
following verbal picture of what the
housekeeping women in one chateau
did to prepare themselves for the care
Of the wounded soldiers coming back
from the front.
AT night we all assemble in the
great hall of guards at the chateau
while Marie reads aloud the most i'm

turn Is called upon to repeat her les
son. like a child, to prove that she
has understood.
And through all. above all. is heard
me laundering OF the cannon the
we know that each shot may mean the
death of some one we love. No words
of sympathy are exchanged. for that
would be disastrous. and the women
wish to be as brave az their men. All
Is calm and well organized, and even
the weakest would be ashamed to
weep"
Example of Preparedness.
As an example of preparedness.
Germany can scarcely excel this one.
whlch Is taken from the story ol Eve
Dorre. the story Of Her Procarious
Youth" by Emily Viele Strothers OF
Baltimore. which was reviewed In The
Times Book Reviews' column recently.
This personal memoir. or so 1t is fash
ioned In the telling, must have a
double interest for New Workers. For.
in addition to possessing a charm of Its
own. 1t Is written bv the sister OF the
well-remembered Herman knicker-
booker Viele, to whom she has dedi-
Gated the tale. One suspects that Her
man was the original of Ewes favorite
brother in her narrative.
Although in Eve Dorre" the reader
follows the life adventures OF another
Anne rican girl who began her European
caree: as a Daisy Miller and ends. un-
like that immortal heroine. as q useful.

More Than "Another Novel"

The reader feels the gradual strength
ening of the moral tone Of the people
Eve Dore lives among in Paris and in
the French countryside. He is made to
realize this not only through the passing
record of physical improvements in liv-
ing conditions but also through the con-
duct of the personages of the story as It
proceeds.
So this tale of Mrs. Strothcrs takes
on the character of being something
more important than Just another
novel" 1t becomes another contribu-
tion to the great study which will be
made at some future dav Of the re-
markab bic change in the character of the
French nation in the last forty years.
