These facts are not intended to dis
courage the use of the extended bunga-
low style. for II Is indeed a most novel
and very pleasing type of house for
the person who is attracted by its
unique characteristics. The point is
that quite often there Is an impress
sion that the term bungalow" refers
To Il low-cost building and when the
prospective home builder comes to the
matter of cost, he is discouraged be-
cause what he has picked out as u
low-cost building is, In reality, not
truly in that class. For small dwell
ings, the bungalow style represents at
tractive appearance at moderate cost,
assuming proper design. For large
dwellings. the bungalow style repre-
sents striking appearance capable Of
wide variation. at rather high cost.
A bungalow is shown In the ac-
companying perspective view, the plan
Of which calls for building 40 feet
by 43 feet 6 inches. This size ap-
proaches very near the limit for a
square building of this type. There
are several features which are inter
esting, both in the exterior appearance
and interior arrangement. The build

sows that will produce true to type
for as yet no line of breeding is abso
lutely pure, but by selecting the sows
In this manner the chances for uni
formity are immeasurably increased
Some mistakes are bound to be made
and their correction will be difficult
but by keeping records of the breeding
stock and their produce, it will be pos.
sible to dispose of undesirable individ.
uals as their poor reproductive abil-
ity becomes known. One ideal must
always be uppermOst in the breeders
mind, and the stock must constantly
| approach nearer to that one ideal In
order to make any real progress. 1t is
relatively easy to produce hogs, but tc
produce uniform hogs, hogs that will
build up and advance the breed, re-
quires time and constant effort.
The Boar.
The farmer who lives in cOmmuni-
~ where ii Is possible to obtain the
services of a good boar, and who has
only few sOws, will not find 1t prof.
liable to keep a male simply for use in
his own herd. However, If he has six
or more sows, or If 1t Is impossible to
get the use of his neighbor's boar when
necessary, 1t will be well to purchase
one Of his own. 1t Is often desirable
to delay the purchase of the boar until
some time after the original female
stock has been selected. If the gifts
were bred at the time of their pur-
chase, the service Of boar will not be
needed until several months later,
when 1t Is necessary to breed for the
second lot of pigs. This is not only q
saving Of money at the time of start
ing the herd, when expenses are apt to
be very heavy, but it also gives the
breeder time to study the original sows
along with their offspring and select
boar that will correct their faults.
There is a hackneyed but neverthe-
less true expression that the male is
half the herd" He really does repre-
sent so per cent of the breeding stock,
and therefore is the most important
individual in the whole herd, but
granting that he forms half, the sows
most certainly constitute the other
half, even though their influence Is di-
vided into several parts. Certainly
both halves are equally important and
neither can well be neglected at the
expense of the other.
1t is well to select boar at least
eight months old, for the selection of
a weanling pig that will mature into
the kind of breeding animal demanded
in any particular case is very diff
cult and precariOus undertaking. In
selecting the male, aim to correct any
faults which may be present in the
conformation of the sOws. These faults
may be discovered in the several
months between the first purchase Of
the bred gifts and the time when it is
necessary to breed again for the Sec
Ond litter. 1t is seen here why uni
formity is of such Importance in the
herd, for the common fault of the sOws
may be corrected in the offspring by

| white concrete copings. Chimneys are
built of the same type of brick.
A feature of the interior of this de-
sign is the large unobstructed floor
space across the front of the house.
The reception hall is extremely roOmy
and opens through cased openings into
/ the living room on one side and the
| dining room on the other. These open
! ings are as wide as the depth of the
reception hall and give the impression
that the front of the house is all one
big room. This feature will be appre-
ciated by the lady of the house who
can readily realize its advantage in
connection with the entertainment OF
guests.
The living room presents a remark
ably cOzy appearance. On the op-
posite side from the opening into the
reception hail is a big brick fireplace,
which has a bookcase on each side or
It. The nook with the seat around II
deserves special mention. The pergola
is not built all the way across the

is left projecting out at the end OF the
porch. The nook Is built into this
corner and seems to be detached from
the rest of the room. A nook like this
makes very interesting and striking
change from the ordinary.
The window seat In the curved six
window bay in the dining room is
great convenience. 1t adds consider
ably to the use of the dining room In
connection with the living room when
they are used together for entertain
ing. There is a pair of double doors,
full glazed, going onto the front porch,
which make the porch and pergola ac-
cesSible from this room. The porch
can be reached from any room in the
front Of the house through similar
doors. There are two sets Of double
doors from the living room and there
is one set from the reception hall In
addition to the solid door at the main
entrance. All these double doors are
glazed, which helps to light these
beautiful front rooms.
Inc closets III tnlS bungalow are
plentiful and generous in size. The
reception hall opens into an interior
hall at the rear. On one side Of the
cased opening is a closet
for wraps and on the other is a tele-
phone booth, which provides for priv
acy in telephoning. The closets in the
two bedrooms are exceptionally large.
The interior hall is special feature
in this design. 1t opens into every
room in the back of the house. The
kitchen, the three bedrooms, and the
bathroom are all easily reached
through this hall. The stairs to the
storage room in the attic are also in
this hall. The bathroom in addition
to all the usual fixtures, is large

day use it to pass through than the

interfere with traffic, utility being the
first consideration. This is not neces-
sarily true of a small park In a small
town where it is the only one and must
serve all purposes.

they must not be narrow, for such a
condition is an indication of lack Of

ed, for 1t is sure indication of lack
Of vitality and consequently of breed
Ing ability. Ample capacity in the

Many judges Of hogs regard good
roomy sOws as being. especially high in
fecundity, and this characteristic is
certainly no detriment to their confor-
nation. provided 1t is combined with
quality.
A sow should show the type demand
ed in a market animal, namely,
strong. wide, deeply fleshed back !;
smoothly covered shoulders; plump,
well-rOunded hams; and a trim. neat
underline. A wide, well-develOped pei
vic cavity will insure easy parturitiOn.
and the udder should be evenly and
well developed and have at least IL
teats. Her legs should be strong and
well placed, have good clean bone, and
strong, straight pasterns. 1t is not of
as great importance to have perfect
feet and legs in q SOW as in q male.
but she should show no weakness at
this point. A sow should have scale
and size, combined with quality.
Strong, clean, hard bone. trim joints,
neat ears, fine, glossy bristles, and
freedom from folds and wrinkles in .be
skin, are all indications of quality. A
large, raw-bOned sow, having plenty of
capacity and size, but lacking in fem
ininity and quality, is one of the Door

hard to fatten, and lacking both I'm
numbers and in uniformity.
Selection.
If possible, the first purchase of sows
should be made from one herd. for in
this manner 1t Is easier to get uni
formity. Uniformity goes deeper than
the mere visible type or conforma-
ton; 1t is determined by past ancestry
and is controlled by the characteristics
contained in the germplasm. The
germplasm Is continuous, extending
from individual to individual, and any
member of the chain shows In its visi-
bic conformation only few of the DOS
SiDle combinations. In other words, q
SOW may not produce offspring similar
In type to herself, unless her ancestors
were of the same type. BY selecting
the sows from one herd, 1t is not only
possible to choose animals similar In
visible type, but they are apt to be
similar In dormant characteristics as
well. In buying such animals the farm
er is not purchasing separate individu-
ais to form so many breeding units,
but rather kindred individuals, all
parts Of single established line or
type which will blend together to form
single breeding unit.
