little bungalow home like this as
quickly and as effectually as though
1t were more elaborate.
This little bungalow has cellar
wall up to or little above the lot
level. 1t depends upon the climate
to some extent. Fashion dictates the
manner in which bungalow cellar
walls and windows should be arranged
and built into the house siding just
above grade.
Ordinary bungalow cellar walls in
the North are AZ to feet In height
The stills OF the house are placed on
top Of this wall in the usual way, but
the floor ioists are boosted up about
three feet to get sufficient headroom
to set furnace. This manner Of con-
struction leaves room for q good-sized
cellar window between the stills and
the ribbon which supports the floor
joists.
This is the general bungalow con.
struction in the North, where good
cellars are an object. In this par
ticular house the front cellar wall is
built couple OF feet higher than the
other cellar walls to level up with the
foundations of the front porch. The
floor of the porch Is only few inches
lower than the main floor Of the
house, so that the front cellar wall Is
built up on q level with the other YER
anda foundation walls.
The space under the veranda is not
excayated. 50 the extending yeranda
walls only reach below frost.
The grading Of the lot is q little
higher In front, TO give the fashionable
bungalow effect. This may be done to
advantage. because there are no front
cellar windows to interfere. The lot
slopes gently to the back, 90 that
good-siEed cellar windows may be
made Tree from distinctions In the

learn something about the insect be-
fore applying the methods of control
The destruction of insects by pois-
oning Is one of the most certain and
satisfactory methods of control. This
practice has been followed in several
tobacco-growing states with good sue
cess, and should be practiced In all to-
bacco-growing sections when insects
appear In such large numbers that
they are very injurious. There are
three principal ways of using poisons
against tobacco insects, |. e., spraying
the tobacco plant, spraying trap crops,
and using poisoned bait. For In.
sects which obtain their food by chew
ing out portions of the leaves, arse
nate Of lead or paris green may be
applied to the leaves with knapsack
or compressed air sprayer, using 1t at
the rate of about four pounds of arse
nate of lead paste or four to six ounces
of paris green to one barrel $50 gal
lons) of water. Weeds, such as night
shade and jimson weed and the tobac-
CO suckers, may be used as trap
crops by spraying early in the season
or late In the season when there is
no tobacco in the neighborhood, with
the idea Of killing many insects which
are congregated and feeding upon
these related host plants. Poison bats
are made by mixing a stomach poison
such as paris green with freshly cut
clover or bran mash and scattering 1t
about the fields for the insects to feed
upon in the absence of other food.
Probably the most common, II not
the most injurious insect pest of to-
5acco is the horn or tobacco worm
When the worms occur only in small
numbers they are frequently held in
check. by hand picking during topping
and suckering. Sometimes 1t is nee
essary to resort to hand picking two
or three times to save the CROP
Fiocks of turkeys and guinea hens in
the fields sometimes serve to hold the
insects in check. Spraying with ar
senate of lead, at the rate of four or

The kitchen arrangements are
planned to save work for the house,

stair and back porch are all built to-
gether, so that the working depart
ment is all that could be desired In
any sized house, the back porch being
sheltered by the house on two sides,
and 1t may be easily made into an adj
ditional workroom for use as the
weather permits.
This little back porch Is intended
to be closed in with lattice work and
fiy screens, and Of course there should
be climbing vine at the back of the
house that will help to make this III.

One good feature of modern homes
Is the care taken of the back lot.
Often 1t is as carefully kept as the
front, and more attractive. because
1t is larger and there are more adj
vantages in the way of planting
shrubs and flowers. A great many

Cozy bungalow comfort is appre-
ciated by every woman. Architects
recognize that pretty sentiment and
are applying all the arts of the craft
to design bungalows to meet the
wishes Of their interesting custom
ers.
The accompanying illustration
show how six rooms may be built into
a bungalow ~ feet six inches by 40
feet in size.
1t is a narrow bungalow intended
for a narrow lot In town or city, but
the depth is considerable, as 1t ex-
tends back close to so feet, including
the front veranda.
In most American cities It is GUS
tomary to lay out streets about 800
feet apart, measuring from the CEN
ter line of one street to the center
line of the next street. Deducting
30 feet for width Of street and 16
feet for an alley, there is III feet
left for the depth of each lot.
In order to reduce the price of lots
low enough to sell readily they are
sometimes cut very narrow. Real es-
tate men are not philanthropists. 1t
makes no difference to them whether
the caves Of the houses touch each
other or not. What worries them is
that public opinion will not permit
them to cut the lot in two crosswise
and sell half of it with the alley
frontage and thereby earn another
commission. But they can split the
lot lengthwise to please the custom
ers who are obliged to cut their gar
ments according to the amount of
cloth they can afford to buy.
There is no law against 1t. II Is
better for the citizens to own their
own homes. The size Of the house
