FIRE PREVENTION PAYS WELL
Safe Construction Lowers Insurance
and Reduces Depreciation
Repairs Cost Little.

If the walls and roof of the house
are Of fre-resistant material fully 60
per cent of the fire hazard is overcome,
says the writer of an article on "COm-
mon Sense Home Building" which is
published in the June issue of Con-
structiOn. In the interior it is not nee
essary to eliminate wood from the fin-
ishing. There is no objection to trim
on doors and even the floors above the
first may be Of wood.
The basement should, by all means.
be cut off from the rest Of the house
by masonry floor, protected stairway
and fireproOf doors connecting with
the first floor. Partitions should be Of
fire-resistive material in order to check
the rapid spread of flames. In other
words, think Of Gre as it really is and
use common sense in the construction
Of the house.
In most localities a house of this
type is credited with a noticeable re-
-ductiOn in insurance cost. Naturally.
too, the cost of maintenance is re-
duced, painting and repairs are not
necessary. Another saving factor is
the matter Of depreciation. A frame
house with wood shingles, built as they
are today, will depreciate just three
times as quickly as a masonry house
with cOmmOn-sense roof.

treatment Of "sick" plants.

The plan of treating sick plants with
sprays of iron Sulphate solution is be-
lieved to be the solution of a seriOHS
problem of pineapple growers in the
Hawaiian islands, though the details
of application are yet to be perfected
The black surface soil near Honolulu,
over an area of 5000 to 10000 acres,
contains manganese, up to two or
three per cent, and pineapple plants
In this soil, though growing well for a
time, eventually become weak and
sicllly, with dropping yellow leaves.
The fruit, which develops and ripenS
Imperfectly, is made unpalatable by
peculiar acidity and lack of sugar.
The investigation Of NJ. o. Johnson, Of
the Honolulu experiment station. has
recently brought the discovery that the
manganese diOxide in the soil renders
the iron insOluble, and that, in soil
having a great abundance Of iron, the
plants have failed from lack of this
element. Injections of iron Sulphate
promptly restored greenness and vigOr.
In field experiments, feeding iron
to the roots gave no results. but it was
found that when the leaves were wet
with copperas solution enough iron
was absorbed to supply their needs.
The flavor of the treated fruit was
equal to that of the product of the
best pineapple land.

MAKE PARKS OF BACKWARDS
Baltimore Has Demonstrated That
Division Fences May ProfitabIY
Be Done Away With.

It has already been convinclngly
demonstrated, here in Baltimore, that
the scheme Of tearing down division
fences between city home backyardS
and developing the unObstructed
stretch Of space thus provided as q
continuous flower garden or grassed
lawn, is no chimerical or impractical
dream. It has been demonstrated be-
cause it has been done on several back
stretches and partially accomplished
in hundreds of instances. Ey partially
accomplished we mean those Instances
where two or three or four adjoining
houSeholders have thrown their back
yards into a common and developed
the enlarged spaces into flower gar
dens. This backyard park idea, de-
VelOped to the limit Of potentially,
would mean tie tearing down Of all
fences on both sides the midway alley
and identifying all the yards upon
some harmonious scheme of OrEa-
mental gardening.
There are comparatively few block
centers in which this complete scheme
of ornamentation can be realized, for
the reason that many OwRers wish to
build a garage, a stable or some other
kind of outbuilding In the backyard
and fronting along the alley. While
the placing of rear buildings in one or
more of the backyards Of block in
terferes with the complete realization
of the backyard parking scheme, it
need not prevent the partial carry
ing out of the plan. And as to back
buildings, their ugliness and inhar-
mOny can be greatly modified by
planting climbing roses or other climb
ing vines along their sides and rear
ends. There is nothing so ut'litarian
not even a stable-that every thought
of identification should be abandoned
in connection with ,it.-Baltimore

Enormous Waste Of Manure.

these are yarded four months each
winter, there should be total manure
production during that period of 150,.
100000 tons, having crop-producing
value of at least $2OO,OO0,OOO above all
cost Of handling. 1t is very conserva.
tive estimate to place the waste of
this manure under the present system
Of handling at % per cent, or $780,
100000 annually. 1t is no doubt twice
that amount.
Manure is lost by weathering, leach
Ing, heating, rOttlng. by piling in heaps
in the field and letting stand before
spreading. If you cannot spread ii
soon after it is produced, store it in
pit or manure shed.
OF all the ways in which manure is
handled, piling it in heaps In the field
is the most wasteful. 1t is ,.7orse than
leaving it under the barn caves aud
letting 1t leach out there, because of
the waste Of labor involved in hauling
it to the field to be thrown away.
The Overgrowth Of lodged and half.
filed grain over such spots ought to
be sufficient to convince any man of
the mistake Of such a method; yet
there are thousands Of farmers who
are still piling manure in the fields.
Value Of Liquid Manure.
A greater portion of the fertilizins

liquid portion. The full effect OF

in yard or field, it carries with it the

handle manure is to collect the liquid
by abundant absorbents as straw, get

at once and let sunshine and rain do
their work. The sunshine Will evap.
orate the water and the rain which fol-
lows will dissolve the salts and wash
them into the soil where they are

color back, as we'll IS to help the fowls.
SprOuted oats form one of the best
feeds for this purpose, as we'll as to
stimulate laying and the general
health of the hen, but most kinds of
green feeds will have the same effect.
One poultrymun thought that rape
might be good green feed. but found
that it made the yOlks almost black.

If. for no apparent reason. there is

just beneath the vent. and also under
each wing. Do not daub 1t on. but

The Household Incinerator.

An aid in sanitation especially use
full In the country is a small garbage
incinerator which can be attached TO
the ordinary kitchen range. The sur
plus heat from the range will dry the
garbage in a short time. After all the
moisture has been taken up, damper
is opened, which allows a draft from
the firebox to pass over the dried gar
bage and consume it to ashes In q

Good results have been reported also

There Is profit in keeping a good
poultry flock. This was shown by a
flock of White LeghOrn pullets Mt the
University of Missouri. From 80 to GO
birds were housed in an open front
poultry house with a yard 100 feet
square which was Scwed to wheat in
the fall. This furnished green food in
the late fall and early spring and was
not charged against their feed bill.
In a years time the fowls consumed
2,G93 pounds of grain and 9G2 pounds
of mash. The total cost of the feed
was $GG.27. In estimating this cost
the following prices per 100 pounds
were used: Wheat. $1.G6; corn, SLIGO;
bran. $1.2O; cOrnmeal. $1.77I; shorts,
$1.4O; and beef scraps, $3.25- These
prices are higher than the feed would
bring if sold by the. farmer, but at
that the flock returned a good profit.
They produced total of 8,057 eggs
at a food cost of 1O1a cents a dozen.
At the prevailing prices the eggs sold
for S157.17. thus giving total profit
of $1,000.
At an average price of 23.4 cents
dozen the hens returned profit of a
dollar and half apiece above the cost
of feed. Even at an average price Of
20 cents Il dozen the hens doubled the
value of the feed.
They were fed as a scratch food a
of two parts cracked corn and
one part wheat. The mash consisted
of equal parts of bran, shorts, corn
meal and beef scrap. Grit, oyster shell
and water were kept before the birds
all the time.
