signed with q little more than the

to air out the bedrooms without inter-

rooms.
Aside from the several advantages
which the house with two floors offers
in the arrangement of the various
rooms 1t is possible to obtain very at
tractive exterior by suitable selec-
tiOn of building material and color de-
sign. In the entirely wooden struc-

length panels.
The kitchen occupies the center of
the rear portion of the first floor, with
rear entrance from the porch. Con-
veniently near the swinging-door en-
trance TO the dining room is the cup
board, sink and range. This arrange
ment could hardly be improved to
produce greater facilities for serving
feature which should strongly COM
mend itself to housewives. A very
generous closet is also provided for
the storage of kitchen utensils and
other articles needed in this part of
the house.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture of the entire design is the sun
parlor leading from the kitchen and
front parlor. This room, with its
seven windows, will no doubt be the
most used room in the house in all
kinds of weather. BY replacing the
sash with screens during the summer
months n room is provided which will
furnish all the advantages of being out
of doors. without the annoyance of in
>sects. Since there is an entrance to
the kitchen, this room provides very
pleasant breakfast porch, a feature
which will be appreciated by. all who
have had the opportunity TO take their
morning meal in the open air.
The second floor contains three large
bedrooms. sewing room and bath
rooms independent of one another, and
the cased opening off of it into the
sewing room specialiZes this little room
as the most attractive on this floor. A
feature of special convenience is the
large closet space allowed to each OF
the bedrooms.
Considered in its entirety this house
design is one which offers great
many features not ordinarily found in

An item Of considerable Importance
in the selection of n house is the pos

scheme Of the surrounding landscape.
1t is possible materially to spoil the

ENEMIES OF ALFALFA PLANT
Not Worth While for Farmer to Waste
Expensive Seed on Sour or
Alkaline Soils.

Sour soil and alkali are enemies of
alfalfa. Most sour soils are sandy
soils where the drainage is too good
and the lime has been leached out.
They can be sweetened by adding
ground limestone where this process
is not too expensive and teaching les
scned by incorporating plenty of hui
mus in the soil. This can be done by
applying stable manure or plowing un-
der green manure in the form of grow
ing crops, etc.
Alkali soils usually are badly drained
and can be corrected by supplying this
factor. 1t is not worth while to waste
alfalfa seed on sour or alkaline soils.
If they cannot be corrected, raise some
other crop.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The production OF thymOl from
horsemint mayObe, under favorable
circumstances, profitable CONNER
cial undertaking, according to re-
cent publication OF the United States
department of agriculture, Bulletin
372. ThymOl, which is extensively
used in medicine, was formerly i'm
ported from northern Europe where
1t is manufactured from seed grown
in northern India. The European
war. however, has reduced the impOr-
tations of this substance from $4,000
pounds in 1914 to little more than
1000 in 1915. To make up this deficit
1t is believed that thymOl might be
manufactured from improved horse
mint plants with which the depart
ment Of agriculture has been expert
menting for some time.
Horsemint is found wild on light
sandy soils over the entire region
from southern New York to Florida,
and westward to Wisconsin,, Kansas
and Texas, and it Is probable that 1t
will thrive under cultivation over the
same area. From 20 to 30 pounds of
oil per acre should be obtained from
a planting, according to the investiga-
tiOns of the department. and little
less than 20 per cent of this oil will
be thymOl. The yield of thymOl per
acre of horSemint, therefore, is esti-
mated at from n little less than 13

to form an effect which viii attract
more than passing attention anywhere
The number of possible color combina-
tiOns between the shingles and stucco
is practically unlimited.
Furthermore the easy slope of the
roof, the exposed beams with their
fancy carving, the lattice work and
heavy brackets and beams above the
upper windows, the massive stucco pill
lars on the porch, and the smaller col
umns in the front windows, all con-
tribute to the general excellence OF
this exterior design. The unusual fea-
lures give distinction which cannot
be overlooked. The entire structure is
an EXAMPLE of the typical house de-
