SIMPLE METHOD OF !,
NEGOTIATING SOILS
Ordinary Furniture Glue Has
Been Found Effective by Coun-
ty Agents in Illinois.

Coating the seed of 1egumes with in
oculated soil before planting is SIM
pie method Of insuring soil inocula-
ton at slight cost. County agents in
Illinois have found ordinary furniture
glue effective in holding particles Of
inoculated soil to the seeds. This
method gives each individual seed
some of the particles of inoculated soil
which it carries with it when 1t is
planted. The scheme requires but a
small amount of inoculated soil and
costs but a few cents an acre. The
method is described in Farmers Bull
letin 704 of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Dissolve two handfuls of furniture
glue for every gallon of boiling water
and allow the solution to cool. Put
the seed in washtub and then sprin-
kle enough of the solution on
the seed to moisten, but not to wet
it Zone quart per bushel is sufficiently
and stir the mixture thoroughly until
all the seed are moistened.
Secure the inoculated soil from a
place where the same kind of plants
as the seed are growing, making sure
that the roots have vigorous develop
ment of nodules. Dry the soil in
the shade, preferably in the barn or
basement, and pulverize 1t thoroughly
into dust. Scatter this dust over the
moistened seed. mixing thoroughly un-
til the seed no longer sticks together.

The rapidly growing popularity of
the modern bungalow type of home
for the average-sized family is strik-
ing evidence of the tendency of the
American home-builder to get away
from the old stately mansion with it's
many rooms, only a few of which were
ever of any real use; home in which
the family was spread over the entire
house and the work required to main
tain order was no small item. This
new tendency is one which brings the
family closely together and by the con-
centration of all their efforts upon the
Improvement of a few well-designed
rooms new standard of home life is
set in which each member of the fam
fly has his little part to play, and
where the results of his labor will be
evident to anyone who happens to
come Into the little bungalow home.
Not only this, but the bungalow offers
the family, tired of climbing two or
three flights of stairs, an opportunity

tell at simple turn of Che switch if

The roof and walls are finished in
shingles stained dark color in the H.

may be finished in dark-colored stucco.
This finish gives very good satisfaction
since it is now possible to color the
stucco by either mixture of the color

PRODUCING CoIored Silks.

1t has been found that by feeding
silkwor1ns partly on mulberry leaves
and partly on Usage leaves, being ex-
tremely careful with the allowances of
the two foods, they can be made to
produce red and blue silk. Colored
thread has been obtained by feeding
the worms on dyed leaves, but this
method is not practical on CON-
mercial scale. The natural color Of
raw silk is yellow or white.

The Ukraine, once the first republic

Russia, and the people Little Russians.
Austria-Hungary holds a much small
