warm months, when it is pleasant to
spend leisure moments on the porch

an entrance directly to the dining room
is very convenient. The kitchen is in
the rear of the dining room, with a
serving pantry between. This pantry
is a special feature of the house in
that it's position and equipment make
it very decided aid in carrying on
the work in this part of the dwelling.
A table situated below the pantry win

in disposing of soiled linen. The sink
is placed conveniently near the door
leading to the kitchen. The kitchen is
large enough to assure an absence of
STIFFNESS while meals are being
cooked. A further point of interest to
the housewife is the attractive rear

CHOLERA OUTBREAK
FOLLOWS NEW CORN
Disease May Gain FoothoId If
Hogs Resistance Is Reduced
by UnWise Feeding.
By E. r. SPENCE, Missouri College of
Agriculture.)

(By E. r. SPENCE, Missouri College Of
Agriculture.)
Hog cholera is not a direct result of
feeding new corn. 1t may gain foot
hold more readily if the hogs resist
ance is reduced by unwise feeding, but
the disease itself can result only from
infection with specific, invisible
germ, obtained directly or indirectly
from other hogs.
If the herd is thrown off feed by
eating too much green corn, or by eat
ing corn that is immature, the disease
will be more readily contracted, and it
is often noted that new outbreak of
cholera follows the first use Of new
corn for hogs.
Avoid danger by changing the kind
or amount Of feed gradually. Feed the
hogs some new corn for a while be-
fore turning them into the field.
Young shoats may be turned into
corn that is not down too badly with
less preliminary feeding than the older
hogs that can break down corn more
quickly.

WEED OUT ALL THE
IMPROBABLE COWS
Selection on Dairy Records win
Give Accurate ResuIts-Easy
Matter to Weigh.

The old saying has it ''there is no
time like the present." That this APP
plies with telling force to the selec-
ton of good dairy cows will be adj
mitted by every thoughtful dairyman.
Selection may be made on the evil
dence of certain well-known external
indications of good milking qualities,
with special attention paid to the I'D
der, loin, skin, barrel, etc.
But no matter how skilled the ex-
pert judge Of dairy quality in COW
may be, he is not infallible as to the
amount of hard cash that anyone COW
in the herd will earn in a year. He
may be, as well as the ordinary dairy
farmer, considerably mistaken in his
Judgment. One system will give ac-
curate results, that of selection on
dairy records. 1t is easy to weigh
and sample; it is easy to add up few
figures for each COW; it is easy to
compare such totals, and it is eminent
ly satisfactory to know for certain
which cows are best to keep and breed
from.
Now is the time to act, prepare to
keep records all season.-From bulle-
tin of the Canadian Department Of
Agriculture.

There is a growing inclination on
the part of various Oklahoma Oil pro-
ducers whose daily incomes have
reached large proportions, to invest a
portion of their profits in purebred
beef cattle, for they have proved lib
eral bidders in the various sales where
they have been represented.
1t is generally known that the beef
producers of Argentina and other
South American countries are looking
to the United States for their supply
of breeding stock. For many years
they depended almost wholly upon the
British Isles for their seed stock, but
gradually they have turned their at
tention to this country, and the vari-
GUS breed associations, particularly
the Shorthorn association, have coop
rated with them and have filled large
orders during the past year.
At a recent Iowa Shorthorn sale in
which 48 Shorthorns were sold at an
average of $1,074 per head, the Okla
homa oil men and Francisco V. Maissa,
Buenos Aires, Argentina, competed for
various high class entries with the re-
suit that prices gradually mounted up
ward, as indicated by the average of
over $1,000. 1t should be understood
that the representatives of these large
interests are most discriminating in

BEST TIME TO PICK
PIGS FOR BREEDING
To Improve Swine Herd, Select
Stock From Offspring of
Very Best SoWs.

The best time to pick out the pigs
that are to be used for future breed
ing is when they are still running with
the sow. To improve your herd choose
stock from the offspring of your best
sows. If you wait until the pigs are
grown and running in one herd you
will have lost track of the different
filters, unless you mark all of the pigs.
When you make the selection while
the filters are still separate you need
to mark only the future breeders.
1t is best to select from the largest
filters, other things being equal. The
pigs from such filters are likely to in
herit their mothers prolificacy. Pick
the strongest and liveliest members of
each litter. The ones that shoulder
their way to the front teats where the
richest milk is are likely to be the
best doors.
1t is well to select and mark more
pigs than you are going to need for
breeding. Some are fairly certain to
die, or be injured or fail to make good
the promise of infancy. Make sure
that the sows selected have the full
number of sound teats-at least ten
for this not only indicates good moth
ering ability, but is considered a sign
that sow will have large filters.

GIVE YOUNG HORSES
BEST OF ATTENTION
Furnish Ample Shelter and Dry
Bed-CIover and Alfalfa Make
Good Roughage.

(By D. J. KAYS, Ohio Experiment Sta
tion.)
With the demand for good draft
horses advancing, the young colts
should receive the best of care to in
sure rapid and complete development.
Many colts will be taken from pas
lures with goodly store Of fat, only
to be turned to a strawpile for feed
and shelter. On the other hand, a few
colts may be ruined by heavy feeding
in the stalls, where they cannot take
exercise.
The ideal shelter for colts is tight
ly built shed open to the south, where
the animals may go in or out at their
own pleasure, and where they may
have the run of lot for exercise. A
dry bed and a protection from cold
winds and rain is all that is needed.
Glover and alfalfa make good rough
age for colts, with a grain ration of
| two parts oats and one bran added.
There Is little danger of overlooking
a colt if room for proper exercise is
given. Growth can be made more
cheapiy during the first year than at
any other time, and feed Should not
be spared.

tect the eyes. Some of them have mar
row brims, usually the sort that curve
upward at the sides. But whatever
their brims, the crown is gathered over
an elastic cord across the back, and
this holds them close to the head. They
are snug enough to stay on, come what
will in the way of exceeding the speed
limit.
Motor wells are of thin chiffon, usual
ly gathered on an elastic band which
fits about the hat, and they hang
straight down about the face, when
they are not blowing about. But mo-
florists appear to be less careful to
keep the face and eyes yelled than IN
times past. A head muffled in a long
heavy veil is rarely seen these days
when everybody goes everywhere in a
car of some kind.

But the leghorn does not always ap-
pear as a flop, as witness the hat at
the top of the group above. Here it
has been blocked into q small shape
resembling the "coolie" hat--a Chi
nese inspiration. AS shown in the pic
ture, the underbrim is bordered with
flange of light blue crepe and there
are rows of light blue ribbon in ruff
fles over the top. The band and full
bow of narrow black velvet ribbon
give the required depth of color to q
cool-looking and elegant hat.
The hat at the left is flop, simple
and almost unadorned. 1t is faced
with white crepe. 1t would be a pity
to break any of its beautiful lines, and
therefore single and magnificent rose
is painted on it, as lifelike as the
reflection of the wonderful reality in
mirror. This is hat to delight an
artists eye.

many articles stored for use in the
kitchen.
The second floor contains three bed
rooms and a bathroom opening from
the nall, all being Independent of one
another. The front and back bedrooms
are built into dormers. A double glass
door opens from the front room leading
to the open balcony, which is not only
a pleasant feature of itself, but is also
very effective in improving the gen.
eral well-balanced appearance of the
front of the house. The third bed
room and the bathroom are built into
the tables on either side of the hall.
Each dormer bedroom has large
Closet and the gable bedroom has two
closets. A spacious trunkroom which
may be used also for a general storage
room is provided. A closet with
shelves, next to the trunkroom on the
hall, provides a place for the clean
linen and other articles needed on the
second floor. The bathroom is large
and well arranged. Here again is pro-
vided the chute to the laundry room,
which proves to be an Indispensable
feature in Tightening the Homework.
The external appearance of this
house is more than commonly attrac-
tive. Special attention has been paid
to detail in the window arrangement
on the front part of the house, and a
result which is distinctly artistic has
been obtained. The long, narrow pam
els on each side of the three front
entrances, with the small panes of
glass in all windows and doors, the
neat ratings on both the porch and the
balcony above, and the wide expanse
of porch unbroken across the entire
width of the house, are all blended
with the exposed rafters of the main
roof and the dormer roof to produce
a very pleasing house front. This eff
| feet is not lost in viewing the house
| from any angle, there being something
to attract attention no matter what
view Is taken.
1t seems safe to predict that the fu-
ture will find the story-and-a-half
house coming more and more into
prominence, both from it's many posi-
bilities of exterior design and from
! it's special adaptability to convenient
interior arrangement.

The cattle breeder who has bred his
herd along intelligent lines with this
fact clearly in mind is today reaping
his reward and apparently we are only
at the threshold of period of dis
elimination and broad expansion. It
Is wholesome fact that in all of the
more important sales, the more dis
eliminating breeders are competing
sharply with the Argentine buyers and
the representatives of the oil inter-
ests, and 1t is to their credit that
many of the most desired breeding an
imals retain their home in the old
established breeding ground of the
central West-a source from which
our people may continue to obtain the
best available breeding material.
