The use Of severJi materials in tne
finish Of houses has come to be quite
common practice. There is certnlnly
possibility OF sidestepping the mo-
notony Of large wall areas by facing
the walls with more than one material.
Both the color and the character Of
surface may be varied In this way. and
many pleasing combinations may be
found.
Among the class of houses which
depend upon the combination Of diff.
ferent materials for their exterior fin
lsh. the little bungalow shown here
is somewhat different from the ordI-
nary. The finishing materials used in
this case are shingles and stucco on
the walls Of the house and ornamental
brick and stucco in the chimney. The
method Of propOrtioning the different
materials over the walls Is distinc.
tive. The stucco Is applied in n wide
belt around the house I'm line with the
main floor windows. Beginning mt the
top of this belt and curriOd down To
the water table, the chimney is finished
with stucco. Above the belt orna-
mental face brick are used in the clhm-
ney.
This chief decorative effect although
very artistic In itself. Is greatly aided
by the yurlouS smuler details of ex-
terror finish carried through the de-
sign. Because shingles look best for
wall finish when they are stained some
dark tint, the preferable color scheme
for this bungalow would probably be
found In the use of dark-stained
shingles. gray stucco and pure white
trim. The molding used at the junction
of the shingles and stuccO is carried
across the porch. around the chimney
and along the top edge Of the flower
box built under the large front window
The decoration of the porch columns
although very simple, Is effective. The
roof of low-pitch type. is sufficiently
elaborate to harmonize with otl er
parts of the design. On the extended
end Of the porch a pergoln roof is cur
| ried out under the caves of the main
| roof, and three-column supports a re
used AT each corner.
The room arrangements afford every
convenience that could be desired in q
| five-room bungalow. A hall throug /
the center of the house from the froI 4
door to the bathroom makes II poa
sible TO enter any room but the pan

lightens Wash-Day Labor.

The housewife who does most of the
washing at home needs no reminding
that washing day is one OF the hardest
work days in the week, and not the
least troublesome part OF the work is
the hanging of clothes on the line, for
1t entails continually STOPPING, first for
the clothes and then for the pegs.
The novel little article shown In our
sketch will at any rate make the work
of hanging the clothes lighter, and IL
can be easily made with remnant of
unbleached linen or other suitable ma
terial. 1t consists of double row OF
small narrow pockets into which the
pegs may be slipped.
These pockets are sewn to band
that can be tied round the waist in the
way shown in the small sketch on the
right Of the illustration. In this posi-
tion the pegs can be removed one by

Best Way to Hang Skirt.

The woman who makes her own
clothes is always on the alert for
means which will facilitate the work.
A splendid way to hang n skirt hem
is 20 use an ordinary foot rule folded
together so that II measures six inches.
Place one end of the rule on the floor |;
then put pin or chalk mark on the
skirt where the other end would come,
and continue at Intervals all around
the skirt. When done your dress
measures exactly six inches from the
floor and hangs perfectly true. Place
the skirt on the table and measure
down two or more inches, according
TO the number of inches you wish your
skirt TO hang from the floor.
II is n splendid idea TO hang n skirt
by the belt for "a hours before you
attempt TO turn up the hem. This
prevents sagging.
The woman who has no one 10 turn
up her skirt hem will find the follow
ing method helpful: First OF all, the
skirt is put on belt and fastened on
the figure. Taking n yardstick and n
piece of chalk or pins, line is traced
around the hips one yard up from the
floor. When the line is we'll marked.
remove the skirt, and then after de
terminlng the number of inches the
skirt is to be above the floor, measure
of the required number from the 80
inches already lined Off. For instance,
II you wish your skirt 70 be six inches
from the ground, merely pin on or
chalk Off 30 inches along the bottom
Of the skirt, measuring from the line
placed about the hips. At the lower
traced line the hem is turned up. &.

CFrom the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
To make hog production most profit
able, the farmer should provide pas
ture for his hogs whenever possible.
The earlier in the year green feed can
be supplied the better. Swine of any
age relish green feed, and its use al
ways reduces the cost of produc-
ing gains on hogs. IL addition, 1t
keeps the animals in good, thrifty con-
dltion. The information given in this
article, however, applies only to the
northern part of the United States,
particularly those states and sections
of states lying north of parallel 80.
The best crops to seed in early
spring are wheat, oats, rye, barley,
rape, Canadian field peas and vetch.
Any of the cereals do well planted
singly or in combination with rape,
Canadian peas and vetch. In certain
sections, where these crops will sur
vive the winter, they can be sown the
previous fall. In sections where II Is
impossible to maintain a stand over
winter, the crops mentioned can be
sown in early spring as soon as the
ground is fit.
The pigs should be turned in to pas
ture the cereal crops when the plants
attain a height of about six to eight
inches, and taken off when the plants
reach such height that the pigs be-

are at least ten inches high. Rape
is n very satisfactory forage plant for
hogs, because 1t grows rapidly and Is
n cheap green feed.
Grain for Hogs on Pasture.
While the cost of producing pork
may be reduced by the use of green
feed, 1t is desirable to feed grain in
addition. There is no time that grain
can be so profitably fed to hog as
when he is young and running on "a
ture. Under such conditions 1t is TINS
sible to secure 10 pounds of gain for
each bushel of grain fed. During the
spring, summer and early fall months
from one-half to three-fourths OF a
full feed of grain will be sufficient for
hogs running on pasture.

ATTENTION TO S0WS
BEFORE FARROWING
Animal Does Best When Kept In
Healthy Condition-Avoid
Heavy Corn Feeding.

The way sow is handled before
farrowing has much to do with the
value Of her litter, according to the
University Of Nebraska Agricultural
college.
The sow does best when she is kept
In healthy condition, but is not al
lowed to become too fat. HeYvy corn
feeding makes sows fat and they are
not likely to produce large, healthy
pigs. For this reason, breeding stock
must be separated from fattening pigs

that produce bone and muscle are
best. Any one of the following ra-
tions, supplement ed by alfalfa hgy, In

gin to spit the chewed material from
their mouths. This is because the
percentage of crude fiber, the indiges-
tible part of the plant, increases rap
idly as the plants grow larger. Green
wheat, oats, rye and barley are gen.
orally classified as carbonaceOus
roughages. When young, however,
these contain a high percentage of
protein, and should be classified as nj
trogenous roughages in the early
stages of growth. Because the small
grains when young are so nutritious
and are green when frost has killed
clover, they are ideal plants to grow
for pigs during late fall and early
spring.
Canadian Field Peas.
Canadian field peas, when sown In
conjunction with some other kind Of
grain Goats, rye, etc.) make an excel
lent early crop for hogs. The seed
should be sown In April or early May,
and II conditions are right the crop
will be ready to pasture In about thirty
or forty days. Hogs clean up the peas
and vines very well. The vines that
are left on the ground, together with
the manure, enrich the soil and add
more humus to 1t. The great value of
peas as a pasture for swine is far too
little understood.
Hairy vetch.
Hairy vetch is a legume OF increas-
ing Importance, especially as forage
for hogs. 1t flourishes to surprising
degree in Washington, Oregon and the
southern states. The seed should be
sown In the fall with rye or oats. Oc-

Rape.
| Rape as forage crop Is highly rec
ommended for hogs whenever 1t can

be planted in the fall of the year with
the expectation Of its surviving the
winter. In most localities II is best
to sow rape In April or May. II there

Quick healing leaves smaller scars.

Bleeding that can be stopped with
powders will soon stop itself anyhow.
Frequent washing irritates wounds,
