boxes between each two windows, so

Twenty or thirty years ago the fad

of them were mere Sits in the wall.
Sometimes the wall was beveled away
outside to admit slanting rays of light
into the darkened rooms. But people
soon tired of such dungeons, and the
fashion pendulum seems to have
swung clear over in the other direc-

much light and sunshine as possible.

While it is impossible to preserve
seed potatoes in good condition in a
storage which combines a too high
degree of temperature with darkness,
dued light, it is quite possible to keep
them for several weeks, in late spring
or early summer when they are
spread thinly on the floor of bright
sunny room. After danger of freezing
weather is past they are even better
shine. A series of shelves arranged
one above another on the southern
exposure of the dwelling or farm
building provides an excellent place
for sun sprouting. The tubers are
spread in single layers on the shelves
and allowed to remain until wanted
for planting. Exposed to the fun
force of the suns rays the tubers, in
stead of sending out long, white, ten
der, succulent sprouts as in poorly
lighted storage, become hardened in
flesh and green in color, and very
short, stubby, firm. green sprouts are
developed by the eyes. whitening of
the tubers is but slight as compared
with that under conditions found in
a warm, dark storage, and they will
remain in the sunlight many weeks in
good condition for planting.
Tubers may be exposed to the sun
light for several weeks-from four to

didly. Such tubers when cut one
sprout to a piece and planted, send up
strong plants in a surprisingly short
time 1t is hardly profitable to sun
sprout large tubers for planting, as
not all of the eyes will develop sprouts
and considerable waste will result.
However, the plan is excellent when
smaller tubers are used and planted
without cutting. So firm and tough
become the hard, short, sturdy sprouts
developed in the sun, that planting
may be done with certain horse
power machines without injury to the 4

COMMON SENSE IN
CARING FOR SWINE
Breeders Disagree on Age at
Which to Breed SoWs-Watch
Litter Carefully.
CBy r. G. wEATHERsToNE)

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
There is a great difference in opin-
Ion among farmers-and good farm
ers at that-as to the age at which
sows should be bred. Some men breed
gifts at ten or eleven months, while
others do not bred until they are two
years old.
Some farmers claim that a SOW
should not be bred after she is four
years old, as she is then apt to kill
her pigs by lying on them. This
trouble is generally due to the sow
being too fat rather than her age.
Never select brood sow with long,
lean, narrow head and wicked little
eyes. She is apt to be nervous and
cross and pig eater. 1t is a good
plan to feed little grain to the grow
ing pigs even though they are rum
ming on good pasture.
In the South many hog raisers turn
their young hogs out into the swamps
along the rivers and creeks and pay
no attention to them during the en-
tire summer, rounding them up in the
fall only to feed them two or three
weeks before shipping them to mar
ket. Some surprisingly good results
are obtained in this way, too.
Sows with a young litter should be
watched carefully, for there are many
sows who do not give enough milk to
start the pigs off well. In such cases
the youngsters should be fed little
whole cows milk at first and later
skim milk with a handful of shorts
in it.

let and pushes them along with some
grain, shorts and oats. even while
they are running in rich pasture, will

The two bedrooms and the bath
room are connected by short hall
way with doors opening both into the
dining room and kitchen. The kitch-
en-, pantry, cellarway and back porch
of this little cottage house are very
compact and conveniently arranged for
doing the housework. In a cottage
more attention usually is paid to the
cellar than in houses, which is one
reason for designing a good stairway
to go down to the basement. The
basement in a cottage house often is
used for different kinds of storage, and
there are a good many trips made
down and up in the course of a work
day.

FINE F|vE-ROOM
COTTAGE HOUSE
Arrangement Of Roof Gives Most
Interesting Effect to the
Structure.
SINGLE SIDING A FEATURE
Idea Has Been to Arrange Designs to
Carry Out the General Architec-
turaI Effect-Lights Are Made
on the Multiple Win
dow Plan.

A cobblestone trim with shingle sid
ing gives this five room cottage house
a distinguished appearance.
An interesting effect is produced by
giving different angles and pitches to
the roof, which effect is extended out
over the front steps by the level top
of the pergola. 1t is not often that d
roof is designed commencing with a
level, then stepping up to square pitch.
The rubble stone wall piers and
chimney all help to produce an un-
usual front. The manner of shingling
the sides of the house is different from
the ordinary, but it helps to carry out
the architectural effect, as intended.
This manner of siding houses uses
up just about as many shingles as it
does to space them evenly, but it gets
away from the ordinary way of laying
shingles and 1t makes a distinction
between the sides of the house and the
roof The joints are broken the same
and the covering is just as thick and
valuable, the only difference is in the
appearance.
The windows are built on the null
tiple window plan, but they are SO ar
ranged as to produce the easement
window appearance. Because of the
double sash, any window may be
opened at the top or bottom in the
usual way. They may be screened,
curtained and shaded according to the
hest custom On that tho uompp have
no objections to offer This probably
accounts for the use of so many win
dows built in this way. Woodworking
