venient basement, and the numerous
windows cannot help but combine to
make home which will be of the
maximum comfort and usefulness to
its occupants.
The roof and walls are finished In
shingles stained dark color in the IL
lustration, but If 1t is desired, the walls
may be finished in dark-colored stucco.
This finish gives very good satisfaction
since it Is now possible to color the
stucco by either a mixture Of the color
fng with the material when the house
is being constructed. or one Of the
stucco paints may be used, which will
also serve as waterproofing material.
1t is desirable to finish the walls in
some dark color in this design on ac-
count of the pleasing contrast with
the white trim of the windows and
roof. On account of the large num-
Der of windows, with their white
frames and sashes, there are no broad
expanses o wall surface to present a
monotonous appearance.
Following the type of construction
used In the cooler parts of this coun-
try this house is built well above the
ground, which not only allows large
basement space but also protects the
house against the cold and dampness
of the ground, which may be very
desirable feature In some climates. II
also allows enough headroom In the
furnace room so that the heating APP

FEED AND ATTENTION
TO GROWING CHICKS
Underfeeding Is Less Harmful
Than Lack of Water-Ration
for First Three Weeks.

Growing-that is the business Of the
young chick, and be sure to keep him
at it. Underfeeding is less harmful
than lack Of water, which should be
supplied. pure and freely.
A good growing ration for the first
three weeks of a chicks life may be
made up as follows: OF cracked wheat
or breadcrumbs and rolled or steel-cut
oats, feed equal parts by weight. With
every ten pounds of bran mix one
pound of beef scrap and one pound Of
granulated bone for the first mash to
be fed dry after the eighth day. Chicks
may eat an excess of bran, which is
rather bulky for the nourishment it
contains.
Use judgment in not letting them
keep their crops crammed uncomfort-
ably full Of dry bran mash all day
long. Note that the beef scrap should
be sifted through screen (fly size),
and only the finer portion used for the
youngest chicks. Also note that the
granulated bone is pretty nearly a ne
cessity for closely yarded chicks, car
rying, as it does, about rs per cent

Why Children Like Candy.

Children like candy because of its
properties Of sugar, food quickly alb
sorbed by the human system. The
purpose Of all food is to supply the
energy that is wasted by physical ex-
ertion. Some foods more than others
contain the elements necessary to fur.
nish this supply and vary in the time
required to feel their benefits.
Sugar Is actually turned into real
energy within a few minutes after II
Is eaten and candy gives a quick sup
ply of the energy called for by the &c.
tivities of youth. Thus the constant
need of energizing force by children
leads them instinctively to crave can.

Land covered with stumps can be
quickly, easily, safely and economi-
cally cleared by means of stump
puller. Dynamite may be used, but
this method is less rapid. Dynamite
is dangerous, and often large roots
are left in the ground. A stump puller
leaves no roots.
This has been the experience of w.
p. Blain, horticultural foreman at the
Kansas State agricultural college, who
for several years has had charge of
stump pulling on the college campus.
He has found that stumps pull better
when the ground is dry, as the dirt
loosens more Readily around the roots.
1t is not practical to clear land
without first chopping away the trees.
Longer bitches are necessary, and the
branches become entangled in the ca.
bles, IL the trees have not been re-
moved.
Mr.. Blain has found that old stumps
may be pulled Immediately after cut
ting away the trees. The pulling power

ARSENATE OF LEAD
FOR POTATO PLANT
Material Might Be Used as Spray
for Tubers-Arsenate of
Lime Found Efficient.

(By II. F. WILSON, Entomologist, Uni.
versity of wisconsin,
Arsenate of lead might be used In
place of paris green as spray mate
rial for potatoes. However, this ma
terial is also very high just now, and
would probably not do away with the
difficulty.
Another material, arsenate of lime,
has been found to be as efficient as
arsenate Of lead, and this material
can be produced much cheaper than
arsenate Of lead.
We have not, however, tested this
material in Wisconsin, and under the
present conditions i would not care
to make any recommendations in the
matter.

FLOUR AND OIL WILL
KEEP ALL RUST AWAY
Coating Of Mixture Tends Largely
to ProIong Life of Machine
Not in Daily Use.
CBy L. d. GRAIN, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins. Colo.)

By L. d. GRAIN. Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins. Colo.)
Machines and polished parts Of ma
chimes not In daily use, and subjected
to ordinary atmospheric conditions,
will soon rust, thereby rendering them
unsightly, and In time will cause a
very noticeable deterioration.
When machines are laid up for a
time, such as farm machinery, the
parts not actually painted should be
coated with rust preventive. Such a
substance should have the qualities of
cheapness, ease Of application and re-
moval, and not be injurious to the sur
face coated.
A good and inexpensive coat may be
made by mixing flour with common
machinery or lubricating oil. This
mixture should have a consistency of
thin paste. 1t may be applied with a
paintbrush. The flour keeps the oil
from drying hard, and the oil will
prevent the air and moisture from
coming into contact with the surface
Of the parts treated, thereby prevent
ing rust o. corrosive effects.
This coating may be easily removed
by cloth or piece of waste satu-
rated with coal oil or gasoline.

The rapidly growing popularity Of
the modern bungalow type of home
for the average-sized family is strik-
ing evidence of the tendency Of the
American home-builder to get away
from the old stately mansion with its
many rooms, only few of which were
ever of any real use; q home In which
the family was spread over the entire
house and the work required to main
tain order was no small item. This
new tendency is one which brings the
family closely together ana by the con-
centration of all their efforts upon the
improvement of few well-designed
rooms new standard of home life is
set in which each member of the fam
lily has his, little part to play, and
where the results of his labor will be
evident to anyone who happens to
come into the little bungalow home.
Not only this, but the bungalow offers

RETAIN CONTROL OF SELF
Think One Has the Ability to
Control Others.

The other day man who makes his
living by fighting was struck by an
understood man, and instead of return
ing the blow he walked away from his
diminutive assailant.
This man exhibited much more self
control than the majority of people.
Men who class themselves as being
on higher plane than this fighting
man would have mixed Immediately
with the hot-headed individual.
What would you have done?
The chances are that you would have
rushed at the fellow with all your
savage instincts to rule you.
This proves that you have not as
much power as you should have over
your impulses.
You may boss other people. but you
are not boss of yourself.
Maybe you wonder why others are
forging ahead of you as leaders of
men.
1t is because they have check rein
on themselves. They have schooled
themselves that they may be able to
guide others. Self-control is the at
tribute of leader.-Chicago Ameri-

Her Secret.

A witness, a jolly, plump cid wom-
an, In trial In the supreme court Of
Massachusetts, was asked what time u
certain train of cars passed her house.
She replied that she began knitting at
three o'clock and had knit twice
around the leg of stocking before 1t
came along.
The next question, of course, was
how long 1t would take her to knit
twice around. The judge here, in his
usual quiet humor. suggested that that
would depend upon the size of the
stocking.
To this the witness remarked that
the stocking was for herself and they
could exercise their own judgment as
to the size, and guess how long 1t
would take.

to be snugly assembled In house all

forget that such thing as a stair
exists.
To the small town or village resi-
dent the bungalow offers its advan-
tages at their best. This type Of con-
struction is never so well exhibited as
where the prices of land are inducive
to the purchase of large piece Of
land on which to build. Here the
bungalow may be designed to carry
out the low, broad lines which are so
attractive In this type of construction,
and with well-laid-out lawn the re-
salting home Is one which anyone may
be proud to exhibit to his friends.
The design shown here is intended
to incorporate as much of the truly
bungalow style as may be placed In a
house of this size. Incidentally the

of the basement is considerable, and
on account Of the nearly square design
of this bungalow and its generous pro-
portions the basement may be divided
off in manner which will render It of
maximum value. Not only Is there
room for the usual cold-storage room,
furnace room, and laundry, but a very
handy little workroom may be fitted up
with bench and other useful equip
ment. Such a little workshop Is not
only of value In repairing and building
articles for the home, but II offers the
younger generation q means of spend
ing time at something which will later
prove to be of considerable value in
the training which 1t gives.
The interior arrangement of this
bungalow shows the results of careful
thought on the part of the designer.
The entrance is into the reception hall,
which continues back through the
house, leading Off into the various
rooms. A cased opening on one side
of the reception hall leads into the
living room, while a similar opening on
the other side leads into the dining
room.
The living room offers an exceeding
ly pleasant gathering place for the
family, with its six windows to assure
room which will be bright and cheer
full. There is plenty Of room for some
attractive rugs, wall decorations and
furniture.
The dining room is well lighted and

The front porch Is very cleverly
placed back under the main roof with
fancy exposed rafters and two neat
posts. The broad steps blend well
with the other parts of the house and
have an inviting appearance from the
thoroughfare.

needed decreases almost one-half In
one year from the time the tree is cut.
Also, the longer the stump, the easier
the pull. Large stumps should be left
longer than the smaller ones. A stump
three feet long gives much more lever
age than one a foot long. Small
stumps may be used for wood if de-
sired. 1t is best to remove the roots
from the stump at the edge of the hole.
All dirt and small roots may then be
used for filling the hole. Large stumps
should be piled and burned.
Stumps of apple trees are easiest to
pull. Ash and maple are fairly hard
to pull, and elm and oak stumps hard
est. Oaks have long, heavy, tough
roots, and elms have many long,
fibrous roots. Each root holds a GER
tain amount of dirt, requiring that
much more power in pulling.
Anyone who has large number of
stumps to pull can afford stump
puller. The different sizes cost from
SIS to $3.50.

POISON WILL HOLD
CUTWORM IN CHECK
Mixture Of Bran, Paris Green or
Arsenate of Lead and Mo-
Iasses Is Effective.

By J. g. GARDNER, Missouri Agricul-
tural college.)
II cutworms prove troublesome in
the garden or corn field, they can be
held in check with a mixture of 25
pounds of bran, half pound of paris
green or lead arsenate and a quart of
mOlasses. The lead arsenate Is now
cheaper than the paris green, and
whichever is used should be dissolved
in two gallons of water, to which the
molasses and ground pulp Of two lem
ons or oranges should be added.
This poison mixture should be scat
tered in the evening in order that it
may stay moist as long as possible, as
the worms refuse to eat it after 1t has
become dry. The addition of the or
ange or lemon Juice is important in
making 1t attractive to the worms, but
it is likely TO be attractive to the chick
ems and some other farm animals also,
with fatal results.
