 One side of the living room is com pleteiy filled by a fireplace with a small bookcase on each side of it.. Above each of the bookcases is a small easement window. This room is of fair size. and with the large fire place is unusually cozy and home like. The dining room and this room form practically one large room and are connected by a wide cased open ing. They can be readily used to- gether. so a large unobstructcd floor space Is provided. which is very i'm portant in any house. For entertain ing. such a space is most desirable. and this plan provides for it in good style.

in small quantities in and upon the skin of cattle which are repeatedly dipped in arsenical dips.
 The discovery of the European OK warble in certain sections of the North makes this pest significant to northern cattle raisers and to those who import pure-bred or other cattle frcm these sections. During the winter and spring months considerable numbers of pure bred live stock are purchased in the northeastern states and are shipped to various parts of the country. It is urged that all animals thus transport ed be examined by the purchasers and all grubs destroyed during the spring and summer. Animals purchased at any season of the year may harbor these pests. In the winter and spring they will be found beneath the skin on the back, while at other times of the year the grubs are elsewhere in the body of the host, and it viii be neces- sary to watch for the appearance Of these grubs during the following sea son. In those states in which regis tration of all imported animals is re quired it would be comparatively easy for the authorities to follow up suct importations and see that any warbles are destroyed.

Little Verses and Big Names" re gently published, has some of the smallest verses, both as to quantity and quality. in the history of poetry, and it can boast of some of the big gest names in our contemporary life. Only three Of the poets shall be men tioned here. Myron T. Herrick's lightness of touch suggests that at some formative period of his career his name began with D." and that Robert of the pastoral lute is no an- cestor. John D. Archbold takes up his Tyre (spelling correctl and sings of trusts. James ]. Hill, who bound a continent with steel, is represented by limerieks that show the effect oi Northwest snows upon the muse.
 But the critic is disarmed. The poets represented in this remarkable attempted to mount Pc gasus only to serve a very worthy charity. In these days of the cult of the vocational test. however. Little Verses and Big Names" serves a pur- pose. We now know why the posses sors of the big names have written so little verse.-Cincinnsti Times-Star.

easily put into effect on small farms and in dairies. In the southern states the herds should be gone over early in December and about twice later at monthly intervals. In the northern states the extraction should be begun six weeks to two months later. If no grubs are allowed to drop to the ground and reach maturity. the num- Der appearing in cattle in subsequent years -:,! se materially reduced. and if extraction is followed up for several years almost complete eradication will result. Of course it is important where possible 10 get concerted ac- tion among the stockmen in the de- struction of these pests.
 In extensive experiments along this line in Germany il was determined that the cost of removing all of the warbles from the backs of cattle during one season was about three cents per head. In this case men were employed es pecialiy to do the work. It is possible for practically every farmer and dairy man in this country to accomplish this ND4h tApNAoc oi loeS of time.
 It is suggested that in those com munities where cow-testing associa- tions have been formed the men charged with this work could in many cases devote part of their time to edu- eating the stock raisers as to the losses caused by OK warbles, and to aiding the members of the association in destroying the pests.
 Investigations conducted by the de partment indicate that eradication also may be accomplished by the use of arsenicaI dips. which are extensive ly employed at the present time for destroying cattle ticks. These inves- tigations are being extended. and er- perimental work is in progress which it is hoped may establish effective and practicable methods of destroying war. bles. The arsenical dip appears to act not upon the well-developed grub be- heath the skin, but upon the eggs or the newly matched larvae, probably the latter. It is not unlikely that the destructive action of arsenical dips up- on warbles is more or less dependent upon the fact that arsenic is stored up

 A small back porch is provided in this design, as it is not needed for storage space with all the room in the pantry and back nail. The pantry is conveniently placed between the kitchen and the dining room, where 1t will be the most useful and conyen- tent.
 On the second floor there are three bedrooms, a sewing room and toilet. Plenty of closet space is provided in this part Of the house for all kinds of storage purposes. These closets are built under the caves. Light is pro- vided for the two side bedrooms by windows in the gables. and the two other rooms are lighted by dormer windows. A hall through the center of this floor makes all the rooms very accessible.
 The entire plan shows a well-ar- ranged house that is well suited to the needs of a fairly large family.

House Memorial to Poe.

In what was once known as Ford ham. a suburb of New York and now included in Greater New York, stands the humble shingled house known as the Poe cottage. Here Edgar Allan Poe. poet, story teller and critic, lived from lS44 until ISi9. It was during this period that ne wrote one Of his most widely known poems, The Ra- ven" Twice within recent years the Poe cottage has been moved a short distance because of the encroacn- ments of new buildings. It is now To- cated in Poe park. After many years of activity by the West Chester His torical society, the cottage is now maintained as a memorial to the poet and a museum in which manuscripts and souvenirs of the poet are pre- served
