Proper action in the draft horse Is
important, according to David Gray,
assistant in animal husbandry In the
Kansas State Agricultural college. Size
and power are of little value If the
horse has not enough agility to han
die his big weight in a mi yield
ing the greatest efficiency.
"Action Of the draft horse should
be clean, bold, and rather stylish" said
Mr.. Gray. "In moving, the feet should
be carried forward and back in q
straight line, without padding, wing
ing, or other irregularity of gait. In
order to get the best and greatest
stride with the least energy it is alb
sOlutely necessary that the feet move
straight and smooth without defects
Of gait.
"Knee action in the draft horse is
not of great Importance. A long stride
which covers considerable ground is
much more important than high knee
action, as ability to cover ground IS
what Is wanted.

TIMELY REMARKS ON
SPRAY PREPARATION
Power Pump Should Be Used II
Best Results Are Expected
High Pressure Needed.

The following timely remarks are
taken from a letter sent out 70 super
.intendents of Ohio state institutions
by S. w. Moore, horticulturist Of the
Ohio board Of administration.
1.-THE power pump is the pump to
use if results are wanted. The argyll
ment used at some of the institutions
by those in charge of the work has
been that there is plenty of hand
power or labor power and 1t is eco
nomical to use it. This sounds well,
but if the practical orchardist were
consulted, he would say that the
hand pump, aside from the labor of
running it, is an expensive PROPOSE
ton, as it is almost impossible to
maintain the pressure necessary eff
fectively and economically to cover
all parts o. the tree or plant; and
when all parts are not covered, the
application Will count for little.
Success depends first upon the
material used. Second upon the ap-
plication, which means thoroughness.
The thoroughness that is necessary
can only be obtained with q heavy
pressure all the time; not $50 or 200
pounds for awhile, then 75 or so
pounds. Such a pressure will o
the liquid into all the cracks
and crevices; and where some are
missed, scale and fungous diseases
will be found lurking, ready again to
possession of the plant as
soon as weather conditions are favor
able.
IF anything is to be done along
line, it is time the spray outfits
were ordered. Spray material should
be on the way soon, as the clean up
dormant spray should be applied
before growth begins. This is true
Of either tree or vi2e."

The kitchen Is practically square and
is fitted to save steps for those who do
the work in this part of the house. The
cupboard Is arranged in such a
that its central portion Is built below
the two windows, making a handy
work table where the most light is
available. The sink is handily located
in the corner of the room opposite the
cupboard. The real porch is essential

c~losed-up porch which may have either
screens or glass panel sash fitted into
the openings in its walls. This porch
will prove to be a very handy addition
to the kitchen.
On the second floor there are three
bedrooms, a sleeping porch and a bath.
A stair hall is centrally located on this
floor from which the attic is reached.
In case only two bedrooms are needed
for sleeping quarters, this plan offers
a pleasant possibility In that the large

easily be transformed into a second

The study Of architectural history is
interesting especially in its application
to modern buildings. Aside from the
entertaining development of styles and
orders OF architecture which are re-
counted and associated in the pages of
h history, 1t of course has a prac-
teal value to the architect. The larg-
er buildings, especially memorial struc-
lures and public buildings, are nearly
always designed to follow some definite
type of architecture which originated,
perhaps, a great many years ago. Even
homes show the evidence Of influence
OF the old masters In this art. Coun.
try estates are quite often arranged
according to the plan of some of the
ancient estates referred to in the his
tories of the earlier days Of clviliza-
ton.
The American house architecture Is
probably influenced by more different
architectural types than that of any
other structure. Not only do the old

RAVAGES OF WORMS
CAUSE GREAT LOSS
Infested Hogs Make Gains Slowly,
If At AII-IoWa Station
Gives Good Remedy.

A great loss on all farms where
hogs are raised results from the raw
ages Of worms. Great as are the
losses from hog cholera, 1t would not
be a very wild assertion to state that
ever greater losses accrue from
worms.
Hogs infested with worms gain slow
ly, If at all, using up most of their
energy in coughing instead of using it
for growth and %fattening. Further
more, they are kept in such a weak
ened condition that they are more sus-
ceptible to diseases, including hog
cholera, and it may be said with much
confidence that hog worms are the
fOrerunners of disease.
They nus disastrous results only
where they are permitted to go uh-
mOlested. 1t is not a difficult matter
to rid a herd of hogs of them, and
many useful remedies have been rec
commended. The Iowa experiment sta
ton has recently offered a simple
remedy that will expel worms from
hogs with much certainty. The for
mula is:
Santonin, five grains; areca nut,
three drains; calomel, three grains,
and sodium bicarbonate, one dram.
This amount constitutes a dose for a
1OO-pound pig. Twice as much should
be used for a 200-pound pig. while half
as much should be used for q 50-pound
pig.
Success from the use of this for
mula depends upon Withholding from
the pigs all feed for at least IS hours
before feeding the mixture. To make
certain that all worms are expelled,
the dose should be repeated in a week
or ten days. If all of the ingredients
cannot be secured at the drug store, n
substitute in the form of seven grains
of santonin and seven grains of Gallo
mel for each 100 pounds of ~liveweight
may be used with success, admins
tering it in the same suggested
for the complete formula.

Square Hip Roof House.

classic orders find partial expression,
but the American home Is also influ-
enced by modern styles Of foreign
countries. Inside and out, modern
American homes show the marks Of
many ages. This does not imply that
each home is loaded with a mass of
decorative detail. The really beautiful
home Is meyer overloaded with decora-
tive features of an elaborate nature.
It is in the simple features that the
good things In all architecture are com
bined in the American homes.
The matter Of simplicity has a spe-
cial bearing upon the subject. AS the
strength Of Lincoln's wisdom was
founded in the force of simple express
sion, so, with quite the same applica-
ton to human understanding, the
strength Of architecture type is quite
often based upon its simplicity. On
the other hand, the dancer who is
graceful In the simple. slow steps is.
indeed a really accomplished artist. So
1t Is with the designer of homes-the
much-desired quality Of simple effec-
t~iveness is hard to attain.
How is simplicity expressed in home
design? In the first place. the general
shape of the house may be made irregu-

CAUSES OF FAILURE
WITH CLOVER PLANT
Lack Of Proper Food in Soil, Acid
ity and Late Freezes Are
Among Reasons Given.
(By A. ]. LEGG.)

The spring is usually regarded as
the best season for sowing clover, and
1t is likely that this spring will be no
exception to the rule that many BUSH
els of costly seed will be sown and the
seed lost.
The usual causes of failure are from
a lack of proper plantfood in the soil
to nourish the young plants, acidity of
the soil, late freezes killing the young
plants just after they come up, or the
nurse crop smothers the young plants.
Clover, In order to succeed, must
have plenty of mineral food in the
soil, enough nitrogen to give the clover

Its simplicity than what might be OBJ
tanned with elaborate treatment Of de-
tails, and an air of dignity Is also found
In the simple treatment. Then again,
the fitting of O~dd-shaped trim runs the
expense Of labor up-the saving of
which, In the simple treatment, may
be spent in obtaining a higher grade
or material or a mOre thorough final
finish which will bring out all Of the
qualities Of the wood. Handled In this
manner, 1t Is comparatively simple to
add the little personal features which
are SO absolutely necessary in trans
forming the house into the home.

Of windows provided. Each room Is
sure to be bright and cheerful. The
house is rather simple In exterior de-
sign, being in the main rectangular and
taving a very simple hip roof without
decoration other than the small dormer.
The walls are finished with beveled sid
ing laid in the usual manner with the
exception of the broad belt which en-.
circles the house just below the stills
Of the second floor windows. The
porch roof is practically the only por-
ton Of the exterior decorated.

Monterey as vice consul; Thomas d.

require q foundation outline Of unde-

tory In the arrangement Of rooms, the
shape Of rooms Is better, and there is
less space wasted. In case 1t is de-
sirable to include special features, such
as small bays, 1t is often possible by
careful designing, especially as regards
their position, to give room for win
dow seats, etc, without taking any
thing from the good qualities of this
type of house. The simplicity of In
teriors consists in the use of straight
lines in trim. Fancy spindles, balus-
tiers, holdings, door cases, window
cases, columns and other fittings are
replaced with trim which will carry
out the idea Of simplicity both In IT.
