"The question has been put to me Of
getting the cost Of the houses down to
a certain limit per unit. In Whining
ton, these must meet all city require
ments, and by all means contain all
modern improvements, including baths,
heating cellars and ventilation. The lat
ter is a point almost entirely omitted
in small houses for wOrkmen but it is
OF vastly more importance than heating,
Any house can be heated with the mini
mum of cost and coal consumption IL
properly ventilated. This means all for
the health Of the residents. Roaring
fires may be maintained both in the
furnaces and in the kitchen stoves and
yet the greater portion Of the house
may be cold. This means dampness and
illness. Workingmen cannot afford to
pay lot OF money for coal. lie must
have a house by all means sanitary and

Brick construction to a certain ex-

the cost Of brick which has gone sky

take care Of the aesthetic qualities ne

struction the cost and difficulty Of Sc
curing lumber has scared out Of reason.
Concrete in many cases failed because
Of the dampness No concrete has been
invented which is lmpervlous TO damp

the steel for reinforcement is quite an

INCREASE CORN YIELD
BY THINNING PLANTS


Thinning corn has resulted in gain,
as 4-year average at the Ohio Exper-
iment Station, of 6.31 bushels per acre
in the case of seed tested for germina-
tion before planting, and of SAT bush
els in the case of untested seed The
average time required for thinning an
acre of corn was 81 hours.
In one case three kernels were plant
ed per hill and on the plot in COM
parison generous quantity of seed
was dropped and the plants were thin
ned to three per hill when to inch
es high. With tested seed an average
yield of 1928 bushels per acre was OBJ
tanned with corn planted three kernels
per hill, and 6559 bushels per acre was
harvested from thinned corn. With un-
tested seed yield of 553S bushels per
acre was secured from regular planting
and 63.S5 bushels per acre where the
corn was thinned With corn at only
30 cents bushel, one would make So
cents an hour by thinning on this
basis.

Bulletins
RAPE is GOOD FEED
AS FORAGE EoR HOGS

no fOfNgtoI FOh FIOOS
Rape proved most valuable OF spring
sown forage crops for swine at the
Ohio Experiment Station. It furnishes
a palatable, nutritious feed throughout
the season II not pastured too closely.
In one experiment lasting 119 days this
crop had value, as forage for hogs, of
S77.S7 an acre in replacing concen-
trates in the ration, corn being valued
at $l.12 bushel and tankage at $50 a
ton. In addition to this pasture the
hogs received a daily grain ration
amounting to 2S percent of their live
weight.
The crop may be seeded from April
to the middle of July, either broad
casted or drilled solid or in rows "a to
2S inches apart. Five to eight pounds
of seed are needed to broadcast an
acre, and from two to three pounds II
the rape is to be grown in rows. On
good soil and with early cultivation
the crop is ready to be pastured in six
to ten weeks from planting.

SMALL SEED POTATOES
ARE USED FOR PLANTING

Small tubers have been used for seed
for one season without serious reduc-
ton in yield in the gardens of the
Ohio Experiment Station. The contin-
ued selection of small seed, however,
is not recommended because yields
would eventually decline under such a
practice. Potatoes weighing less than
two ounces yielded only 1O.7 bushels
per acre less than tubers weighing
more than ounces, whole tubers be-
ing planted in each case.
Because of the high price of pota-
toes this year many home gardeners
will plant only eyes or peelings with a
small amount of flesh adhering, using
the rest of the tuber for food. The ex-
pertinent station horticulturists say
that this method is successful If the
eyes are planted rather shallow about
q foot apart in the row, and in fertile,
well-prepared soil.
