walk is wide and that it leads up to the level of the built-in corner porch by means of wide concrete steps with easy treads and risers.
 The overhanging porch is supported by one heavy column built up of rough surface brick in manner to convey a distinctive characteristic effect. Also the easement window which lights the large living room is an interesting feature.
 The projection of the window box answers a useful purpose inside of the big living room by providing wide, comfortable, well-lighted window seat, a pleasant place for lounging or read ing.
 In building such an extension win dow to be occupied for reading or sew ing in the winter time requires more careful work than carpenters are in the habit of giving to outside house construction. A carpenter that will fit building paper carefully around an ordinary door or window would rather tear off corner of the paper when it comes to a projection like this, sim ply because the work is unusual and

kitchen in summer time. 1t is also a protection against storms in the win. ter.
 Such small houses on farms are not expensive to build and they make com fortable homes for owners of small farms. Such houses help out material. ly to solve the help problem on large farms. You couldn't drive a married man away from cottage like this. Not if he has family of small children.
 The idea has been tried on a good many large farms in the East and it works all right.
 It is not necessary to use expensive interior woodwork or finish, but the shell of the house should be built with sheathing and building paper carefully put on to make the little house com fortable in winter It is just as neces- sary to keep out the heat as it is to keep out the cold. A furnace may be left out for while after building, but the big chimney is worth more than 1t costs. It should be made feature to talk about.
 The increased selling value of the farm on account of having such a beautiful cottage house on it is an. other business argument when it comes to weighing the merits of real comfortable farm equipment.

turning to the right into the furnace cellar or to the left into the storage cellar.
 The cellar walls are built in such way that solid concrete or stone wall divides the cold storage part of the cellar from the furnace room This wall makes it possible to have stor- cold in winter, so that fruit and vege- tables may be kept in good condition until spring. It costs but little more to build foundation wall in this way, but the satisfaction is permanent Un- less the bottom part of a house is right the superstructure loses part of ito value. Without such partition walls it often is choice between hay ing a furnace and doing without A furnace spells the cellar for storage purposes, but with this arrangement the furnace simply warns the laundry room to a temperature that is agree able on wash days.
 The laundry tubs and fixtures in this basement plan are placed in front of the large outside door, where they are convenient to the outside steps. This outdoor stair also is intended for use at other times, such as cleaning out the furnace or getting in coal and vegetables for the winter. In fact. it becomes very useful every day in the fall and about twice week all winter.
 The large front chimney is intended for looks. It makes a splendid ap- pearance in that end of the house, as the chimney brick is partly exposed. There also is an extra large flue in this chimney for the furnace smoke pipe.
 The plan of the rooms provides for living room, dining room and kitchen and one bedroom. However the wide window seat in the living room makes very comfortable sleeping quarters for children or when there are three grownups in the family.
 The kitchen is made especially large to make room for dining table when there are extra men in for meals. Farm houses are not complete without an extra dining table for use on such occasions. Also table in the kitchen is a great convenience for early morn- ing breakfasts, the kind that most farmers are supposed to have.
 The rear of this little house may be made as attractive as the front by fit- ting the rear veranda with wire screens and by growing a climbing vine or two for protection against the sun, as we'll as for looks. This veran- da is 21 feet by 5 feet in size. which makes a splendid addition to the

Plans for Cozy Cottage That Has Been Designed for a /
 Dual Purpose.
HAS MANY EXCELLENT POINTS
Extreme of Comfort in Interior, With Most Artistic Outside Appearance, Has Been Achieved by the Perfectly Drawn Plans of
 the Architect.

A cozy cottage for either farm or village is shown in the perspective and detail drawings.
 This design proves that farm cot tage may be ornamental as well as useful and it may contain most of the so-called improvements. Pumping en- zines are becoming so common on farms that home waterworks simply amount to supplying a tank and the necessary piping, together with small expenditure of money for a kitchen sink and the necessary bath room fixtures. As small sum as $100 will pay for the whole outfit if the cheaper kinds of enamel ware are se- lected. The water pipe and fittings cost the same in any case, except that higher prices are sometimes paid for small quantities.
 Kerosene and gasoline engines have been so much improved that pumping water for house and barn use on the farm is quite pleasant job. The cost of a house water tap is less than 1t costs in the cities when figured ac- cording to proper bookkeeping meth ods. The yearly cost is figured by charging six per cent interest on the investment and ten per cent for the de- preciation, but the plant is credited with the labor of pumping by hand for both the house and barn, so that bal ance is always put to the credit of the waterworks system.
 The front of this beautiful little cot tage is made attractive by the manner in which it is designed to give 1t such a comfortable, cozy appearance.
 It will be noticed that the concrete

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agricultural.
 The alfalfa-seed destroyer known as the chalcis-fy, does it's destructive work in clover or alfalfa seeds, from the Gulf coast to the northern limits of the United States, according to the United States department of agricul- ture's specialist who has personally seen the widespread devastation of this pest. By harvesting severely in fested crops. by cleaning fence lines and ditch banks, and by winter culti- vation the grower of alfalfa seed may help to control this insect A new Farmers Bulletin, (No. 636) entitled "The Chalcis-Fly in Alfalfa Seed" gives the details of these methods of control, and may be had free of charge on application to the depart ment.
 The chalcis-f1y under the microscope is formidable-looking insect but when seen in the field it is frequently confused with the gnat These pests may be seen in great numbers flying over alfalfa-seed shocks and swarm ing over the sickle bar when the al falfa is being cut. The eggs are so small as to be invisible to the naked eye and are deposited through the soft, green seed pods directly into the soft seeds when the pods are about half-grown. Immediately upon becom- ing fly, the insect eats its way out through the shells of the infested seeds, then through the green pods. Large portions of the seeds are hol- lowed out in this manner. when they are still green and growing.
 The infected seeds which still con- tain the living larvae of the insect may be recognized by their abnormal shape and usually by the dull brown color. Some of the infested seeds. however, retain their natural color, but they always lack the glossy ap- pearance of normal seeds. The ex- tent to which alfalfa seed is damaged by the fly is not generally apparent. owing to the minuteness of the insect and because its destructive work is accomplished within the growing seeds. The alfalfa-seed grower can only estimate the percentage of his crop destroyed by opening a large

the regular seed fields are sufficiently advanced for oviposition.
 This cutting should be done with, the harvesting of each hay crop, be- fore the seed crop is grown. ,,
 It Is sometimes necessary to havoj two or more irrigation ditches rum ming parallel. making it impracticSAle to cut the alfalfa between theml In such cases 1t Is economy to fel se the ditches and use this land 'as " small summer pasture. thus prevent ing the development of alfalfa seed pods and the chalcis-flies.
 Winter Cultivation. ;;
 In the process of harvesting the seed crop many pods containing in-i fested seeds fall to the ground. Here they remain until the following spring when the hibernating insects emerge although cultivation with an alfalfa cultivator, at some time late in the fall or in early winter, will sufficiently cover such pods and will prevent the emergence of most of the adults when the warm weather arrives.
 Destroying the Screenings.
 After the alfalfa is thrashed the great mass of screenings which is left frequently contains large numbers of seeds infested with hibernating larvae.' If the chaff, together with the scrden-, ings, Is placed in a compost pile for three or four months, so that it will become heated and decay. most of tho, insect life will be destroyed. Unless it Is possible to treat the screenihgDl in this manner they should be burtedl before the growing season opensl in' the spring. A |
 Many of the alfalfa seed ppds along check ridges and fence lines may be destroyed by burning off the weeds and alfalfa. This should be- done either in the fall or early spring.
 In purchasing alfalfa seed. farmers should insist upon having seed which has been we'll cleaned after thrAshr ing and should never plant the June cleared product in new fields.

Harvesting infested Crops.

tng the infested seeds
 Harvesting Infested Crops.
 An alfalfa field is frequently found with such a severe infestation by chalcis flies that the grower considers 1t of insufficient value to be harvested and simply drives in herd of COWS to pasture the crop. With regard to the control of the chalcis-fiy for the protection of future seed production. this is a costly mistake. Obervations show that many of the pods burst open, while others are trampled to the ground. Here great numbers of infested seeds offer favorable condi- tons for the Information of the chal- cis-fy larvae. These, as mature flies, will infest the seed crops the follow ing spring. Under such circumstances the crop should be moved. removed from the field. and staked. It may then be used as rough fodder; and if the remaining straw Is burned in early spring the hibernating larvae will be destroyed.
 Cleaning Fence Lines and Ditch eanks.
 The following facts emphasize the importance of cutting the alfalfa along ditch banks and fence lines. as we'll as in the fields:
 l. The earliest seed pods are found to develop on the isolated and vigor- ous growing plants found in such places.
 ?. The earliest pods have an espec- ially large percentage of the seeds infested with chalcis-fiy larvae.
 3. The chalcss.ny larvae are able to pass completely through the first generation in the earliest pods before
