between the dining room and the
kitchen forms a valuable annex to the
kitchen and helps in reducing the
work in this part Of the house. The
back porch will be appreciated in the
summer time, when it can be used as
part Of the kitchen.
Two bedrooms are regularly pro-
vided for and the third can be used
as den unless it is wanted for the
accommodation Of guests. Two, gen.
orally, are all that are needed, but
this plan can be arranged so that the
den can be used, or the double sliding
doors can be left open and the den
really becomes a part Of the living
room. This room, the living room and
the dining room should be finished
in somewhat the same style, since the
wide openings between these rooms
make the arrangement seem like one
room, and an effect will be obtained
which is not harmonious If the rooms
are not finished in the same general
way. The dining room and the living
room really make one large room, as
the only thing separating them is
colonnade with bookcases in the lower
part of it on each side of the opening.
Living room and dining room equip
ment includes a large fireplace and a
buffet.
The back hall is convenience that
is most necessary in a house of this
size. It insures privacy in all the
rooms and yet any part Of the house
can be readily reached from any 9TH
er part. The dining room, kitchen,
basement bathroom and the two bed
rooms all have doors opening into
this hall.
A good basement is provided with
sufficient headroom so that a heating
plant can be installed. The walls
should be of concrete and should be
carried down below the level of the
basement floor. The floor should also
be of concrete, as this material can be
readily made waterproof and will keep
the basement dry and in the best pos
sible condition.
This bungalow has so many points
of unusual interest that it will attract
favorable comment in almost any sit

MANURE PRODUCED AT HOME
Fertilizer Should Not Be Allowed to
Accumulate in StaIls-AppIy
Soon as Possible.

The horse manure produced at home
should not be allowed to accumulate
in the stalls for longer than a few
days at time. Preferably it should
be applied as soon as possible after
being made and should be plowed un-
der at the first opportunity.
At times when the land is occupied
by growing crops, the manure is best
conserved by placing it under cover
or in basin or pit in the barnyard.
If, in addition, it can be firmly packed
and saturated with water occasional
ly, the losses viii be reduced to the
minimum under the circumstances.
1t is well to apply and plow under
such manure as soon as possible.

Alfalfa seed is rarely ever grown
commercially except in semiarid reg
ions. 1t is difficult to grow this crop
for seed in the humid sections. About
half of the seed produced in the United
States is grown on irrigated lands In
regions Of dry summers. Rain or noIs-
ture from irrigation after the alfalfa
plants are in bloom has tendency to
stimulate new growth from the crown.
This greatly reduces the yield. When
seed crop is desired irrigation is
withheld until the seed has been har-
vested. Usually the second crop of aIfal-
IA is allowed to produce seed. However.
in the Southwestern states the third
crop is often preferred for seed, while
in the Eastern and Northern states it
is necessary that. the first crops be
used for seed production.
Various factors affect the amount of
seed that the alfalfa plants produce,
such as thickness Of stand, moisture
supply and conditions favorable for
tripping. The heat Of the sun often

Most people who build a home like

son to desire home which will attract
the attention of the passerby.

prepared by the United States Depart
u1ent of Agriculture.9
Both indoors and out the Argentine
ant is becoming a serious pest in the
South, according to entomologists of
the United States department Of ag-
rieulture. In dwellings and stores the
pests are attacking food supplies, and
out-Of-dOors they are protecting aphids
and mealy bugs, which infest cotton,
corn and sugarcane plants. Depart
ment Bulletin No. 377, just issued,
suggests control measures for the
ants.
1t is practically certain, states the
bulletin, that the Argentine ant was
introduced into this country at New
Orleans in ships from Brazilian ports
1t was first observed in that city in
1891, and at present it is distributed
throughout portions of nine southern
states. There are three forms of the
Argentine ant-the worker, the drone
and the queen-aH of a dark-brown
color. The worker is about one-tenth
inch in length, the male is somewhat
larger and has wings, while the queen
is nearly three times as large as the
worker.
Because of its small size and incon-
spicuOus color the worker is able to
invade every part Of ordinary build
ings. Any exposed food or food refuse
attracts the workers, and the bulletin
states that residents and keepers of
grocery stores, meat markets, confec-
tioneries, ETC., must either suffer con-
siderably or almost constantly use poi
son or barriers of various kinds. The
farmer, nurseryman, and truck grower
find scale insects and aphids more
troublesome because of the protection
the ant gives to insects depositing
honeydew.
Control Measures.
Three methods of controlling the in
sect are discussed in the bulletin
the use of barriers, poisons and traps. |
Ant Barriers.-In grossly infested
houses much relief may be secured
by isolating tables, refrigerators,
safes, beds, ETC., with bichloride of
mercury tape, but extreme care should
be taken in using this poison. Placing
the legs of articles of furniture in |
saucers filled with moth balls or coal
oils forms simple and efficient bar
rier. Trees, beehive stands, and other
outdoor objects may be isolated with
the sticky substance used on fly paper
but made thinner than usual. If 5 per
cent of carbolized oil be added, the
durability of the bands win be consla- /
erably increased. i
Ant Poisons.-Strong antimony or
arsenical sirups, a number of which
are sold by druggists in infested ter
ritories, are used to keep the ants
from buildings. They give quick relief
for short periods, but are not a factor
in the reduction of the infestation.
