so that the two rooms may be made
into n by opening both doors clear
back.
For this ease the buffet sideboard
is built against the back Of the dining
room to avoid any unnecessary OBJ
structiOn in the main part Of the room.
The living room and dining room are
both made especially light and airy
by two triple windows and three sin
gle windows. The present fashion is
to have plenty of light in the living
rooms, and it Is a good fashion that
should remain in vogue for the next
thousand years. The history of house
windows reads wider with each cent
ury.
An interesting feature of this house
is the manner in which the stairway
is built. To commence with, there is
Il grade entrance ut the side of the
house which leads down into the cellar
and up into the kitchen, a combination
that is used in a great many modern
houses. The same economy of space
and travel is employed in the stairway
TO the second floor and to the attic. 1t
doubles back from n landing half way
between floors. The landing is prOvid-
ed for by an extension built as Il space
saver to give plenty of length of stair
run with wide treads and easy risers

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

Probably the most economical house
design for the northern sections of the
country is a square-built two-story
house with a good basement. 1t is Il
good, sensible way to build, and it
solves the heating problem in winter
with greater satisfaction than any
other style of house known to the
American builder.
The principle of the circulation of
warm air applies splendidly in "A COM
pact, twO-stOry house. The tendency
of hot air is to rise, because hot air is
lighter than cold air. In applying this
principle the cold air is taken in from
outside through the cOld-air boxes and
is sent through the furnace to the
rooms on the first floor during the
whole twenty-four hours. The up
stairs registers usually are closed dur
ing the daytime in cold weather be-
cause the surplus heat from the first
floor finds its way to the upper rooms
through the stairway. The upper rooms
are also warmed to a certain degree
through the floors. This is written
same principle applies to n certain ex-
tent when the hOt-water system of
heating is employed.
The house shown in this design is
set well up on a concrete wall, in a
way to make a splendid basement that

FOR SPRAYING APPLE TREES
Best Formula Is Concentrated Lime
SuIphur-App!y for Cooling Moth
About August First.

The best formulas for spraying APP
pie trees and any other fruit trees ex-
cept the peach, is concentrated lime
sulphur at the strength of one to forty
for apples and one to fifty for the other
fruits, and two and n half pounds Of
a~rsenate of lead. The first spraying
should be made just as the pink of the
blossom shows. This should be fol-
lowed by another application as the
blossom petals are dropping. In about
two weeks the trees should be sprayed
again, and winter varieties of apples
should have another application for
the second brood Of codling moth
about the first of August.
All fruit trees except the peach
should receive the first three applica-
tons. Piums should receive il spray
ing after that at intervals of two
weeks, until within about a month of
ripening time. No fruit should be
sprayed within q month of ripening
time, because sufficient time should be
allowed for the removal of all traces
of the spray material by the weather
before the fruit Is harvested.

diun size, hardy and good layers.
They are easily cared for and bear
confinement well, although any fowl
must have plenty of exercise.
Fog table use they are excellent,
their lesh being sweet, juicy and ten
der, ciaking fine broilers and r%oasters.
They are extremely popular because
of the absence of dark pin feathers.
AS layers they average well up, both
for summer and winter production, if
some pains be taken to provide them
with comfortable quarters during in
clement weather.
To do'this a fairly comfortable poul-
try house is necessary. This means
one which is dry all the time and so
arranged as to admit plenty of fresh
air and sunlight.
A house built with three sides tight
and left larg ely open on the south
side accompliShes this. A curtain, to
be drawn tight over the opening in
rigorous weather, will add materially
to the comfort of the poultry. This
does not exclude the fresh air, but pro-
tects against the cold.
This building can be conveniently
arranged without the cost becoming
very great, and it should be borne in
mind that convenience pays well.
Have all the interior fixtures of the
poultry house-roosts, poles, nest
boxes, dropping boards, ETC., easily re-
movable, so that every part within
can be reached and cleaned.
Twice yearly the house should be
thoroughly fumigated and then white
washed inside and out. For this pur-
pose a whitewash containing a small

All fowls are annoyed and suffer
from insect parasites. This means a
loss to the raiser and effective means
must be employed to combat these
pests, as the birds cannot do this un-
assisted. Provisions for n dust bath,
any time, any day that the fowls de-
sire, will help, but in addition to this
the house and fixtures should be
sprayed at frequent intervals with coal
oil or Il 2 per cent solution Of crude
carbolic acid. This spraying should be
done early in the day SO that the
fumes will have nearly all ]evaporated
before the fowls go to roOst.
During the summer the wide range
afforded by the farm solves the prob
lem as to proper feeding. But in win
ter when the fowls do not have insect
diet, meat food in some form is nec-

FINE FLAVOR OF VEGETABLES
Improved or impaired by Fertilizers
Empioyed-Too Much Nitrogen
Makes Strawberry Soft.

Aside from considerations of mellow
soil and sufficient moisture. the flavor
and other qualities of vegetables are
improved or impaired by the fertilizers
employed. The peculiar processes with
in the soil Or within the plant itself
which produce these conditions of
flavor are difficult to understand, but
It is a fact that varieties of fruits and
vegetables will show such Improvement
under favorable conditions of fertiliza-
ton as hardly to be recognized.
Hog anu used alone sometimes
gives an unpleasant flavor TO celery
and root crops. 1t also taints tobacco.
An excess of phosphates helps to give
tomatoes a sweeter flavor. Salt is
very helpful to the quality of aspara-
gus, onions and celery. 1t makes the
potash in the soil active. 1t is used
at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre.
Pigeon manure helps to develop
melons of fine flavor. Beets grown on
soil fortified with poultry manure
and ashes develop Il fine, sweet flavor.
Poultry and barnyard i'm
prove the quality of onions. Fresh
b%arnyard manur impairs the ship
ping qualities of Strawberries. Too
much nitrogen makes the fruit soft
er but unleached wood ashes with we'll
rotted manure improves the quality of
the berries. An excess of nitrogen
has Il peculiar effect upon the Stone
variety of tomatoes tending to make
the blossoms drop. 1t also tends to
make them sterile.

The extension also contains windows
to light the stairway, and as it is artis-
tically designed it adds to the general
appearance of this side of the house.
A study of the second floor plan will
show that every square foot of floor
space works to advantage. There are
fOur bedrooms and four clothes closets
all arranged on straight lines without
shutting the light from any window
and without any useless corners. Such
Il splendid arrangement of rooms is
considered quite a triumph Of skill on
the part of an architect.
There is practically no wall space in
the upper hallway. 1t is all taken up
by the necessary doors. Even the linea

New Facts About Moses.

Bible questions were put to 60
pupils in the Sedgwick county rural
schools, says a Kansas City CORE
spondent Of the New York Sun. De-
scribing the funeral OF Moses one boy
wrote:
1T was on a still night when the
rush of a train broke the silence and
at daybreak he vas buried at the foot
of a mountain and let the dirt roll
down or him."
Two of the nswers to a Prodigal
Son question were:
"The Prodigal Son went away from
home and after a while he came back
and said. Father, thou art a sinner"
while he was yet a great way Off
his father came to meet him and fell
on his dirty neck and kissed him."

though the two small linen closet doors
open into the hallway.
The attic is of use only for storage
purposes and for the drying of clothes
On stormy washdays. For this reason
there is a sensible stairway leading up
to the attic and a door at the foot
which closes 1t off from the rest of the
house.
1t is necessary to have a good wide
lot for a house built after this design
to show 1t to advantage. On general
principles a full twO-story square
house may be put on a smaller lot than
Il wide spreading or squatty building,
but any good dwelling deserves room
enough to look right. When buying a
lot for a home or planning a house for
a lot already purchased it is well to
keep in mind that any house looks best
when it fits the lot.
The lawn around a good full two
story house requires different treat
ment from a low dwelling with an
~Overhanging roof. Shrubbery and vines
are needed for the proper finish Of any
dwelling, and room for these should be
provided for when the plans are being
drawn and the lot purchased.
