the house and utilizes the space above the garage for a sun parlor. The house is built upon a terrace and the driveway, leading to the garage, is brought straight in at the sidewalk level, allowing only enough slope to provide good drainage.
 The entire house and garage are fin- ished in stucco with dark wood trim. Low arch type construction is used in the porch and all roofs are built as fiat as is consistent with good con- struction. A pergola roof above the sun parlor adds a note of distinction. The entire exterior is impressive and elegant.
 The details of interior finish are fully in keeping with the general ex- cellence of the design, and the room ar- engagement is all that the particular home-builder could ask for in conve- nience and elegance. The reception hall is fitted with seat and has a wide closet handily located. The opening be- cased. The entire side wall of the house in the living room is occupied by the fireplace and two bookcases. A wide cased opening at the rear of the living room leads to the dining room. The Buffet in the latter room is built below four windows, in a square bay. There are five other win dows in the room.
 The sun parlor is five steps above the living room and the seat built into the nook just inside the cased opening from the living room is a very pleas ant detail. The garage is entered from a passage between the living room and the kitchen. Between the kitchen and the dining room is the buffers pantry. The opening on the kitchen side is cased and on the dining room side there is a double-acting door.
 The stair from the sun parlor leads to stair hall on the second floor. All rooms on this floor open from the hall. There are four bedrooms, all provided with generous closet space, and bath. All rooms on this floor are well lighted and full height. The house is intended for rather large family or it may be used to very good advantage by peo- pie who are in the habit of inviting guests for extended visits. There is an abundance of room on each floor and the many special features which have been incorporated into the design are sure to leave good impression with anyone who might have the opportu- nifty to examine the house carefully. l The design Is an excellent example of one method by which the garage may be made part of an attractive house without taking anything from its at- 1 tractiveneSs.

HAIRY WITCH OF MUCH VALUE
Used in North Carolina in Rotation With Corn and Cotton to Build
 Up Soil Productivity.

About ten years go, on a piece of poor clay-loam soil at the North Caro- lima station, vetch was used in rotation with corn and cotton to build up pro- ductivity The soil was in run down, humus-deficient condition and would produce only meager crops, as 1t tended to run together and cement after each rain.
 Within five years, by the use of vetch in the rotation and the judicious application of commercial fertilizers, the productivity of the land was in- creased more than POO per cent, and the soil was brought to a loose and friable condition. The vetch was sown each fall after the corn or cotton and plowed into the soil during the follow ing spring after it had about com pleted it's growth.

more to be dreaded than the kitchen.
 It is usually a rather difficult prob- lem to design a house with garage attached which will have satisfac- tory appearance. Since the garage does not require a great deal of head
 room and yet it must be placed at least down to the grade line, it is necessary to build some part of the house above it. The question becomes centered in what part of the house may be built above the garage without causing a disturbance in the room arrangement. A separate room is usually the best solution since the floor level does not coincide with either the first or sec ond floor of the main structure, as

Breed for General Farm.
SILAGE RELIsHED BY STOCK
No Winter Roughage That Is Better No Danger in Feeding it to
 Breeding Animals.

For wintering the entire breeding herd there is no roughage that is better than silage. All the animals will relish ration containing 1t, and it will create an appetite for other feeds. Cows that are fed on all the silage they will consume along with good hay, will go through the winter in fine shape and make gains. Some dry coarse fodder or straw should always be kept before animals get ting silage, as it reduces the amount of silage to be consumed and keeps the bowels from getting too loose. The succulent feed will cause the breeding cows to give a good flow of milk, even though the calf be born in mid-winter, and a thrifty calf will result. If the silage is free from moldy or rotten spots there is no dan ger of feeding it to breeding cows.
 Silage is especially good for calves that have just been weaned. They take to this ration quicker than to dry feed and there is usually little loss due to weaning. The silage should be supplemented with good cowpea, clover or alfalfa hay, and the calves should have small amount of grain A mixture of one-half corn chops and one-half cottonseed or peanut meal is excellent

FEEDING TESTS FOR SWINE
Results Given of Experiments Made at Florida Station-Five Lots of
 Pigs Were Fed.

Five lots of four 63-pound pigs each were fed by the Florida station 30 days, as follows: Lot 1, corn alone; lot 2, corn and cracked velvet beans (3.D; lot 3, corn and cracked velvet beans Q.1D; lot 4, corn and cracked velvet beans (1.D and iron sulphate and lot 5, corn and cracked velvet bean meal (3.1) and iron sulphate. They made average daily gains of 0.46. 063, 0.56, 0.52 and 0.53 pounds per head, consuming, per pound of gain, 6.55, AS, 5.37, 5,74 and 5.63 pounds of feed, at cost of Il, 6.7, 5.7, 6.1 and 79 cents per pound of gain for the re- spective lots.

breed, meat breed or a general pur- pose breed is desired. Then study the breeds under that classification and see which will most nearly fill the require ments of your market and your local conditions.
 Phases to Consider.
 For instance, consider such phases as the following
 Does your market want white or brown eggsf The Leghorns produce white eggs and the Plymouth Rock brown.
 Does the market want yellow-skinned or white-skinned carcasses7 The Wy andottes have yellow skin and the Orpingtons a white skin.
 Are the birds to be kept closely con- fined or are they to range widely? The Brahmas are sluggish, poor rangers, and are easily confined while the Leg horns are active. good rangers, and do best when allowed practically unlimit- ed range.-Louisiana Experiment Sta tion.

rule. This fact is usually taken ad- vantage of and the staircase is built to connect with the room above the garage, eliminating a landing between the first and second floors and saving great deal of space in the stairway. The use to which the room may be put is more or less limited by it's peculiar position, but there are enough uses for the space to warrant it's being made a part of the house. The space is peculiarly adapted to a sun parlor, sewing room or den.

MONEY CAN'T MAKE A GARDEN
By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHuYsEN

By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHuYSEN
 If one had all of the money in the world and no artistic or practical ideas Ito go with it, he could not produce a garden worth while. am struck with this fact while looking at some of the new landscape work at the rich es- tates that make the Eastern coast a fairyland.
 The accompanying illustration will show case in point. Here is garden where money enough has been spent to buy a farm. Yet the figures are stiff and grouped with about as much art as the man used who first put fig ures in a multiplication table. Regu- lar, stiff ahd awkward, the costly bits of work are placed just like so many paWns on q chessboard.

CABBAGES AND A KING
By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHuYsEN.

By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN.
 When the Walrus, in the time-hon- ored verse, called attention to the fact that the time had come to speak of cabbages and kings, the beast did not have any idea that the time would come when there would be any actual relationship between the two. Now kings have come to know the value of the cabbage while the value of the king has taken somewhat of a slump in the opposite direction.
 This story deals with an Oil King and a cabbage crop. Midas. with his fund of gold; Croesus, long mentioned as marvel of money, and the other owners of large kingly chests were but ordinary pikers compared to John D. Rockefeller. He has in one vault lin the basement of the produce ex- change in New York more hidden wealth than all of the old kings put together.
 Yet he has lively interest in rais- ing cabbages.
 His interest in this direction is valu- able to all of the persons in the coun- try who have garden plots because it is a lesson in the economy of space, and tip from the richest man in tbe world as to the value of using every spare spot for raising something from the soil.
 What he sees in New York is equally possible on the most remote hillside in America, and it is for this reason that 1 am showing you a picture of the Oil Kings cabbage patch and tell ing you how the man with the greatest store of wealth wisely refuses to let a chance to raise even a tiny crop be wasted.

BENEFITS OF CROP ROTATION
Helps to Maintain Fertility of Soil, Conserve Moisture and Aids in
 Control of Weeds.

There is, perhaps, no single practice in farm management of more impor- tance than systematic rotation of crops. It will help to maintain fertll- lty, conserve soil moisture and con trol of weeds, and yet withal, it is a feature of farm work to which. as rule, very little consideration is given.

That is just what one does not want. Better take handful of natural rocks and barrel of moss and ferns and mix the combination with sense of arrangement than to waste thousands on decorative scheme that only holds up to pity the poverty of the mind which cannot do with much what thou sands actually accomplish with little.
The Pulaskian., 1916-10-27

A knowledge of the breeds of poul- try will come from observation at the poultry shows and by study of cur rent literature. Remember that there is no one breed which is better than the rest under all conditions. Where one desires to produce white-shelled eggs, regardless of meat qualities, se- lection may be made from the many varieties of Leghorns, Minorcas, Cam pines, etc. If the chief desire is for large, well-fieshed, market fowls, there are the Brahmas, Langshans, Cochins, Dorkings or Cornish Indians to choose from
