wide. The small house may be de-
signed to follow this style, however, in
such manner that it will appear well
on lot very much more narrow than
this. 1t requires freedom in following
the style and extreme simplicity of out
line. The example shown in the illus
tratiOnS Is not true Colonial type,
but it is in the class of small houses
designed for fairly narrow lot and
suggesting the Colonial style in its out
line and arrangement. The exterior of
the house is finished in a simple man
ner, with wide clapboard siding, large
porch with turned columns across the
front and heavy outside chimney at the
side.
Clapboards were originally made
wide because of the difficulty in cutting
them out of the logs, fewer being re-
quired to cover given surface when
cut wide. At the present time wide
clapboards may be obtained and are
used to reproduce the appearance Of
these earlier siding boards, especially
in the Colonial style house where their
use is most appropriate.
The large chimney is of brick and
tapers slightly above the first floor No
porch rail is used, which makes it pos
sible to easily inclose the porch en-
tirely with screens or storm sash. The
hooded windows with their shutters
form a distinctive feature Of the ex-
terror.
True to the typical Colonial arrange
ment, a hall runs back through the
center of the first floor to the stair
way. Cased openings lead from this
hall to the living room and the dining
room. The living room is a very pleas
ant room extending back from the
front along the side of the house. A
fireplace is built into the outer wall
near the center Of the room. The din
ing room, kitchen and pantry are stu
ated along the other side of the house.
There is buffet in the dining room
and the pantry Is fitted with shelves
and a work table. The refrigerator is
placed on the back porch, but it is ar
ranged so that 1t opens from the pam
try. The stair leading to the basement
is entered from a passage between the
kitchen and the porch.
The second floor is pleasantly ar.
ranged. One large bedroom above the
living room is especially pleasant.
There is fireplace in this room. The
closet is lighted by front window.
Two other bedrooms are provided on
this floor. The bath is large and is fit
ted with a built-in medicine case. A
large hall makes all rooms independ-

requisite skill may produce a house
which embOdies an architectural style
of his own conception, but it is hardly
possible for any man to so design a
house that it does not show the ten
dency Of some style already estab-

The recognized architectural styles

In the final analysis, it is the degree

FEED HENS FOR EGGS
Problem Requires Good Judgment
and Keen Observation.
Fowls Should Have Foods High in
Food Elements Found in EGGS
Whole Grain Ration Is Not to
Be Recommended.
by B. L. KEMPsTER. Missouri College

by B. L. KEMPSTER. Missouri College
of Agriculture)
A hen laying 200 eggs in a year is
not at all unusual. A fOur-pound hen
laying this number will produce six
times her weight in eggs. To do this
she will require from 20 to so pounds
of feed. For economical production it
is necessary (D that the food be
properly selected, CO. that it be fed
in correct proportion and in judicious
manner in order that her digestive or
gans may be kept in good condition,
(3) that she he fed enough so that she
has plenty of surplus for egg produc-
ton.
The problems of poultry feeding re-
quire good judgment and keen ohserva-
ton. Hens fed for egg production
should have foods high in the food ele-
ments which are found In eggs. Those
fed in the fattening pens should have
the foods which most economically pro-
duce fat. The best ration, then, is the
one which supplies most economically
the food requirements of the bird for
the purpose for which it is kept.
1t should be remembered that one
of the principles Of poultry feeding is
that the hen cannot do well if fed on
a whole grain ration. Not only does
q ration of grain fail to furnish the
proper food nutrients, but such ra-
ton is difficult for the bird to digest
properly. The great fault with the
farmer in his poultry feeding is that
he attempts to feed whole grain ra-
ton, and generally only one grain at
that. Such ration results in poor
egg production and also causes diges-
tive disorders and liver and kidney
troubles. Complaints Of this kind fire.
quently come TO the department of
poultry husbandry and a suggested
change in the ration has usually re-
suited in the elimination Of the trou-
BILE. Efficient digestion demands a
combination of whole and ground
grains. A ration should consist OF
grains and ground feeds. Generally
speaking, twice as much grain should
be consumed as ground feed. This
depends, Of course, upon the nature
of the foods fed.
A good ration for egg production can
be made with q combination Of grains
and ground feeds. For grains equal
parts by weight Of wheat, corn, or in
the winter time twice as much corn as
wheat, may be used. For ground feed
mixture Of equal parts of bran
shorts, and cornmeal may be used. Eff
fcient egg production requires also
that this ration be supplemented witt

Taller Order

Jones had been a member of the glo-
riOus company of the voorhees, for
some time, so that when the offer of
work as a carter came Jones jumped
at 1t.
But even TO be n carter requires ex-
perience, particularly in loading up,
and when one has q twO-wheeled
spring cart to load it is better not to
put all the goods at the back. This,
however, was what Jones did, with the
consequence that when they were 60
ing up hill the horse, unable to stand
the strain, stopped.
1t did not strike our friend that his
method of loading was at fault. He
tried vainly to induce his steed to pro-
ceed and then, noticing that the ami
mails feet only just touched the ground,
he turned and drove back at full speed
to his guv-nor.
Haven't you got taller horse, guv'-
nor?" he queried, artlessly. "This one
amt high enough for the work."

parts of this mixture and of the dry
mash. The total grain consumption
of feed for the year was 50 pounds,
of which &c pounds was scratch mix
ture. Throughout the year it took 4.6
pounds of feed to produce q dozen
eggs.
This scratch mixture, with wheat
$2.57, cracked corn $1.35, and oats 70
cents per bushel, is 40 cents per hun
dred pounds cheaper than the regular
mixture of equal parts cracked corn,
wheat and oats. Another mash which
is slightly cheaper than this one is
made of per cent each bran and mid
dlings, 26 per cent beef scrap, and &C
per cent cornmeal.
If the wheat is omitted from the ra-
ton, it is very essential to feed a con-
siderable proportion of beef scrap in
the mash, but with present prices beef
scrap is one of the cheapest poultry
feeds, considering its high protein con-
tent, and its adaptability as an effec-
tive matchmaking combination feed.
These experiments, the specialists
say, prove that wheat is not essential
in an egg-laying ration and that excel
lent results can be secured by using
corn and oats as a scratch mixture,
provided that this is fed with a good
mash feed containing % per cent beef
scrap.

DISEASE OF LITTLE CHICKS
Adverse Weather Conditions Have
Made Darrhea More Prevalent
This Year Than Usual.

Fight diarrhea among young chicks!
The loss of chicks from bowel trOu-
BILE is greater than the loss from all
other diseases combined, asserts Ross
NJ. Sherwood, acting head of the de-
partment of poultry huSbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. Adj
verse weather conditions have made
this trouble more prevalent this year
than usual.
Infection usually occurs within a
day or two after Matching, Mr.. Sher-
wood pointed out. Death may come
within the first few days. The chicks
present a droOpy, sleepy appearance.
The eyes are closed and the young
birds huddle together and peep much
NJ the time. An intestinal discharge
adhering to the fluff of the vent is no
ticed.
The cause of diarrhea is attributed
to improper methods of handling the
chicks and the insanitary condition Of
surroundings. Generally the young
chicks are chilled or overheated before
they are Matched. Later they are over
fed.
An intestinal antiseptic consisting of
a water solution Of copper sulphate-
One-half teaspoonful dissolved in one
gallon of water-should be kept before
the chicks at all times. Chicks two
or three weeks of age seldom develop

RATION FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Equal Parts by Weight of Wheat and

A good ration for egg production
can be made with a combination of

equal parts by weight Of wheat and
corn, or in the winter time twice as
much corn as wheat may be used
For ground feed, a mixture of equal
parts Of bran, shorts and cornmeal
may be used. Efficient egg produc-
ton requires also that this ration be
supplemented with either sour milk

case sour milk is not available, COM

From the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
With wheat so high, poultrymen will
be interested to learn that on the
United States department of agricul-
ture experiment farm excellent egg
laying results were secured with
wheatless ration. Thirty Leghorn pull
lets to which this ration has been fed
for one and a half years produced
an average of 1913 eggs per hen for
the pullet year. This compares favor
ably with egg yields secured on other
rations containing wheat and there
fore more expensive. This pen, more
over, during the first 16 weeks of it's
second year has averaged 2S.5 eggs
per hen, 17.5 eggs per hen being pro-
duced in March.
The same wheatless ration has been
fed since last November to pen of
Buff Orpington pullets, which have
laid SO eggs per hen in 20 weeks and
hold the highest egg record of any Of
the large feeding pens Of pullets at
the farm this year. Two other pens,
however, are less than one egg per hen
behind this pen. The ration used was
as follows:
Scratch Mixture. Dry Mash.
2pounds cracked corn pounds corn meal
Ipound oats pound beef scrap
The scratch mixture was fed sparing-
ly, so that the hens ate about equal
