Mr. william A Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE Or
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building work on the farm, for
the readers of this paper. On account OF
his wide experience as Editor. Author and
Manufacturer, he is, without doubt: the
highest authority on all these subjects.

The demand for better results from
farming do not constitute a theory or
a fad. The demand has been met and
the results are an accomplished fact,
demonstrated by the outcome of work
on farms which is being carried on I'M
der improved conditions and guided
by the collective intelligence and
knowledge of the nation. -
In the United States, as in the older
countries, necessity Is forcing the
adoption and use of improved methods

ployment of labor-saving farm machin-
cry and building equipment, the con
tinuousi improvement in seed and stock
and the yield Of both.
In farm building, Radford's stand
ard plank frame construction has been
the greatest boon and the source Of
greatest economy of recent years. This
means of construction does away with
a part of the cost materials by using
pinch plank instead of heavy timbers.
A further and great economy is effect
ed in labor for the lighter timbers are
nj to pattern and placed in position
by n few men, instead of being elab-
orately framed and raised to position
by machinery or n large crew of men.
Plank-frame construction has stood
the test of years of use and by author
tiles is pronounced suitable for farm
buildings of any size or nature.
In this connection are given perspec-
tive view and floor plans for four build
ings to comprise Il group adequate for
the needs of a large farm. Horse and
dairy barns are of the favored gambrel
roof type. The other two, hog house
and corn crib, are designed TO harmo-

buildings. The COW stable provides &C

MANY WAYS OF GARNiSHING
Hostess win Find It Easy to Select
nethod of Improving Appearance
of Dishes Served.

For garm shlng meats, fritters of
vegetables are delectable and potato
cakes and croquettes fried golden
brown in deep fat are also used in the
same way.
II you want color on the fish plat
ter to go with the vegetables, bright
red pimentoS furnish it. A can Of
these will last all winter, as only a
little is needed. When you have
opened the can use what you need and
then remove the remainder to a glass
jar and cover with cold olive Oil and
they will not spoil.
Tomato is also a bright garnish and
is liked nodded in aspic, but the olives
that you buy ready stuffed with pimo-
las lend themselves TO decoration
readily. Slice them across the
stufiing and you have little green rings
with red centers that improve a salad
in Il jiffy.
Mashed potatoes can be formed into
baskets and baked SO they hold their
shape, and rice may be mixed with but
ter and chilled TO form a holder for va
riouS foods, but these fancies are diff
cult to carry out and are not worth
while. Anything that indicates that a
great mount of unnecessary trouble
has been spent displeases thoughtful
persons and is apt to be absurd. "TO
know when TO stop is Il know a whole
lot" Mark Twain made one of his
characters declare. and this applies to
garnishing as well as to other things.

IT'D LIVE LONG!

A recipe given by a famous physician
for long life was: Keep the Kidneys in
good order! Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty Of water,
and exercise so you sweat = the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of inham-
nation, as backache, scalding water
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, "rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DIR. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y. II your druggist
does rot keep it send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than <lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.

There is no use of us going into details tell ing an intelligent patronage why we are doing this. for 1t is evil dent to all that everything else has advanced and of necessity we have got to advance the sub scription price of the Picayune.

 You will have three months to settle4up and take the paper just as many years as you like at one dollar per year, but positively after the first 1t will be S1.50. It is absolutely a business proposi- ton and We must have 1t to make anything out of our paper. That's all.
