the fact that the plan outline of a
colonial house is always plainly rec
tangular, or very nearly so. Working
with such plan outline, the design
er finds little difficulty in laying out
rooms which are well-proportioned,
well-lighted and convenient
The central entrance is at the for
ward end of hall which extends back
through the house to the small rear
porch in the plan. Just inside the
entrance there is a large cased open
ing on either side of the hall. One of
these leads into the living room and
the other into the dining room. The
stairway to the second floor is built
in this hall. The small rear porch is
set into the house, being simply por-
ton of the center strip provided for
the hall. However, this porch does
not project under second floor room,
which sometimes produces difficulty in
heating.

stained dark brown. The walls of this
house are not pure white, but there
is just enough color in their surface
to produce a slight contrast between
them and the pure white of the trim.
1t will be noticed that the house is
symmetrical about the center line of
the facade. This means that a bal
anced effect is built right into the
house, regardless of the manner of
decorating it. Because of this tine

decoration such as the standard
scheme just mentioned is most sue

decoration is in any way strikingly

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

Daring the past ten years and at
the present time there is tendency
among home builders to select a type
of architecture which descends direct
1y from the early houses of this coun-
try. The colonial architecture, in all
of its phases, has been carefully stud
led by architects specializing in resi-
dence design and beautiful dwellings
may be found everywhere which pos
SeSs the characteristics of this style.
All of the modern building materials
have been used successfully in the
adaptation of the early style to pres
ent needs and desires.
Among others there is the type
shown in the accompanying photo
graphic perspective view. This house
with its gambrel roof and central en-
trance, divided sash windows and
shutters is typically Dutch colonial.
The walls of the first floor and dorm
ers are finished with stucco and the
remaining exterior surface is covered
with shingles. The outside-built chin
Aey 10 ldlu VI ullCh' Lie ueSlSH Is
simple, which is really a characteris-
tic of the style rather than of this par
tlcular house. The dominating fea-
lures of the house, as far as appear
ance is concerned, are the roof and
the windows. The roof surface is
large in the Dutch colonial style and
a considerable portion of it has such
a steep slope that it is used to take

as this. In many living rooms it Is
necessary to give the effect of length
by placing the fireplace in the end.
This room, however, is long enough so
that 1t can be arranged to give the i'm
preston of compactness. This idea Is
carried out by placing the large brick
fireplace along one of the side walls
instead of at the end. Such an ar
rangement gives plenty of inside wall
space so that some we'll chosen fur
niture can be secured to fit In with the
general scheme. An attractive fea-
ture of the living room Is the window
scheme on either side of the fireplace.
The windows are In sets of three, set
out from the wall. This places q mar
row shelf at little below shoulder
height on either side of the fireplace
an excellent place for ferns or flow
ers which match with the color scheme
adopted for the living room. With
the double doors into the sun porch
open, the floor arrangement gives a
large unrestricted space along this
side of the house.
The dining room, kitchen and pam
try occupy the first floor space on the
other side of the hall. The dining
room is 10 feet by Is feet inches and
Is provided with an attractive buffet.
A hall leads back to the kitchen and
the pantry is on this hall. The ar
rangement Is very convenient. In the
PANTRY there Is a large, well-lighted
work table, small case and cupboard.
A chimney running up through the
pantry has q thimble installed on the
kitchen side for the range or gas
stove ventilator.
The second floor provides two large
bedrooms with closets, q small sleep
Ing porch, sewing room and bath. All
of these rooms except the sleeping
porch are accessible from the central
hall. There are double doors opening
between the sleeping porch and one of
the bedrooms. Along the rear of the
house on the second floor there Is q
large balcony. This balcony Is above
the sun parlor, rear porch and por-
ton Of the kitchen. Plenty of light
Is admitted to oil of the second-foor
rooms.

to compare the modern with the early

PRUNE AND SPRAY ORCHARDS
Neglected Fruit Trees About Most Un.
profitable Thing on Farm-Test
at Missouri College.

Does orchard pruning and spraying
pay? The answer is found in the re-
suits of cooperative experiments con-
Quoted by the College Of Agriculture
in 40 Missouri orchards. These ex-
periments extended over a period OF
three years. They show first, that
neglected orchard is about the most
Improbable thing on the farm second,
that the best managed orchards In
Missouri are producing more profit per
acre than any other farm crop.
The average returns per acre OF
these 40 orchards during the last three
years has been as follows: Properly
pruned and sprayed areas, total re-
ceived, $176 per acre; net profit, SLAB
per acre. Untreated areas, total re-
ceived, S1S per acre; net profit, moth
Ing.
In order to obtained records OF the
results part Of each orchard was al
lowed to remain in its previous condi-
tion-not pruned and not sprayed. The
experiments, in view Of the results OBJ
tanned, show conclusvely the advan-
tages Of renovation.

While the Shirt Lives.

The men of the American Revolution
have left us an example already In
scribed In the worlds memory; an ex-
ample portentious to the aims of tyran-
ny in every land; an example that Will
console in all ages the dropping aspira-
tons of oppressed humanity. They
have left us written charter as leg
acy and as guide to our course. But
every day convinces us that written
charter may become powerless. lg-
norance may misinterpret it; ambition
may assail and faction destroy its vital
parts and aspiring knavery may at last
sing its requiem on the tomb Of depart
ed liberty. 1t is the spirit which lives'
in this are our safety and our hopei
the spirit of our fathers, and while this
dwells deeply in our remembrance, and
it's flame is cherished, ever burning,
ever pure, on the altar of our hearts;
while 1t incites us to think as they
have thought, and do as they have
done, the honor and the praise will be
ours, to have preserved unimpaired the
rich Inheritance which they so nobly
achieved.-Jared Sparks (17S9-1S66).

ARE STILL N0MADS
Apaches Demand and Are Given
Plenty of Room.
Tribe Which Was Once Known 40
Worst in Country Still Refuses to
Take Up Real Farming.

OF all the wards of Uncle Sam,
none enjoyed worse reputation nor a
better deserved one, than the Apache
Indians of the Southwest so years ago.
They terrOriZed the Mexicans, robbed
the wagon trains in the Santa Fee trail,
made the frontiersman's life miserable,
caused the patient troopers of the reg
uar army to plod and struggle over
countless miles of hot sand and blue
lava on their trail, and as soon as they
were fairly beaten and settled down
they broke out in a new place. Today
their country Is given over to the
farmer and the flivver, and what re-
mains of the tribe occupies spacious
reservation in northwestern New Mex
leo, says the Buffalo News.
The reservation is spacious, because
the Apache needs plenty of room. 1t
contains little besides space, because
that Is the kind of land that suits him;
and, luckily for him, has little attrac-
ton for anybody else. The Apache's
idea of small one-man homestead
would run anywhere from thousand
acres up. He does not 60 in for in
tensive cultivation. He plants a little
corn here and there, and he harvests
wild hay wherever it chances to grow
thickly enough to make the process
worth while, but real farming is in
compatible with his idea of the dignity
of q man and an Indian.
The boundaries Of the reservation
are not visible to the naked eye, so
that If you chance to be travelling in
the neighborhood you may easily stray
over the Apache's hearth and home
without finding 1t out. The owner,
however, will inform you of the fact
with great vigor, If he chances to find
you. On the other hand, you may travel
on Apache land for weeks and never
meet soul. The reservation comprises
hundreds of square miles, and the In
dams are true nomads, wandering
from place to place as the fancy
selZes.
The reservation is land Of rolling
hills, with few stubby mountain
ranges, and share Of barren plain.
Most of the country Is fertile enough,
especially the hill land, but the Indian
makes no attempt to realize on it's fer
tility. At least, he is doing nothing to
exhaust the soil, and should his race
or another ever come to farm 1t they
will find earth as virgin as that of the
western prairies a hundred years ago.

FIGHTING OFF MIDDLE AGE
Society Women of Today Set Example
for Others in Preservation of
Gallantness Of Youth.

If one stops to think of it, just when
does the gallantness Of youth change
into the heaviness of middle age? Why
do all the engaging enhancing boys
and girls become dull, uninSpired men
and women? Why do we submit to the
change? We bring joy with us when
we come into the world and we expect
to find Joy waiting for us again when
we 20 back to heaven. but in the mean
time we walk with downcast eyes and
hanging arms, crushed by the heavi-
ness of mortal existence, when, If we
stopped to think, we would know that
the spiritual things make life; that
without love and JOY and unsefishneSs
and courage we could not long endure
the daily mortal round of dressing and
eating and sleeping. If there is any
such thing as eternal life, this present
life Is part of it, and why not 60 light
~ through the hours-even when we
stop being twenty-instead of YEARLY
plodding through them? We may, If
we refuse to allow the laws and de-
mands of mortal existence to superim-
pose themselves on the laws of eternal
life and crush out all spiritual eager
ness, says q writer in Scribner's.
1t is matter, not of the events of
life, but of our acceptance of life.
Could the terrible events of the French
revolution crush the spirit Of the
French noblesse? There were no mid
dle-aged among them in those prison
days when they danced and sang with
gay insouciance while each waited for
his turn at the guillotine. They lost
their heads but they never dropped
them, for they knew the secret of spir-
itual youth.
The society women of today main
tain that same gallantness of youth.
Perhaps not every one of them feels
the pulse of spiritual life, but they re-
fuse middle age and are willing to pay
the price of their refusal. To hold their
prestige they must be slim and charm
ing, and slim they are, even though In
extreme cases they gain their slimness
by rolling on the floor and the charm
from the hands of their maids, and
their gayety lies no deeper than the
tips of their tongues. Still, in their
courage and confidence they never
strike their colOrS to middle age. How
ever they feel inwardly, outwardly
they never flaunt dropping mouth or
sagging figure.

WILL PLANT CORN
TO FILL S|L0S
MARYLAND DAlRYMEN CONSIDER
siLAGE MOST ECONOMICAL
FEED.
MAKES MORE MILK
Farmers Are Urged To Plant More
Corn and Build SIIos.

College Park, May 17.-Members of
the State Dairymens Association are
urging on Maryland consumers the
fact that the wider use of dairy prod
ucts will insure healthier and
cheaper fed people. In connection
with this campaign for the greater
consumption of dairy products they
are also seeking in every way possible
to keep down the cost of production.
With feed at $50 ton they realize
the great need for producing more
silage and forage crops. The planting
of larger acreages Of corn for silage
purposes Ia especially recommended.
G. K. Wolcott, dairy specialist for the
Maryland Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice, states that any farmer keeping as
many as ten cows should build silo
to enable him to feed his herd econom-
ically. At the present time 1t is most
important that the farmer who has IN
mind the building of a silo, should
plow and prepare additional land for
corn so that he will have an ample
supply for silage purposes. Any sur
plus that has to be harvested as field
corn should bring ample returns at
present prices.
According to Mr.. Wolcott, 8 to 4 tons
of silage can be probably fed per COW
a year. The yield of silage varies
from 4 to 20 tons to the acre, land
yielding SO bushels per acre making
about 10 tons to silage. Corn in the
form of silage will produce more milk
than the same amount shocked and
dried. There Ia also considerable less
waste in feeding silage than in feed
ing fodder. Where properly fed, silage
is entirely consumed by the COW and
aids as we'll in keeping the digestion
in good shape. On account OF the
smaller cost of handling silage as COM
pared to soiling crops, 1t can be used
to advantage In experimenting pasture
land as well as providing succulent
feed in winter. Using corn as silage
makes it possible to clear the land
much quicker than II the corn were
cut and shocked, thus preparing the
ldhu wi "hCo' vi ScA"S "thN' AA~'>s
crop early in the fall.
Corn grown for silage Is usually
drilled, which permits Of closer plant
ing. The ground should be narrowed
as soon as the spring drying begins
on winter plowed land or as soon as
spring blowing is done to prevent loss
of moisture. This narrowing Will also
prevent the forming of clods. The
grower must use his own judgment as
to how much further narrowing or
rolling he should do, bearing in mind
that his yield depends largely on hav-
ing a Arm, moist seed bed with one Or
two inches OF loose soil to cover the
seed and prevent further evaporation
Cultivation must be frequent enough
to maintain dust mulch and keep the
weeds out Of the corn as they will in
jure the quality of silage II allowed to
make any growth.
Farmers growing corn for silage
should consult their County Demon.
stration Agent regarding the cost and
type of silo suited to their conditions.

Beuinnlno of Letter WRITING,

The actual period of the beginning
Of letter writing is, like many other Of
the familiar things Of today, lost in the
mists of time, observes writer in the
New York Evening World. Probably
the earliest historical records Of epis-
tolary achievements are found in the
days of the Egyptians under the Phar-
a0hs and of the Greeks who wrote
out their social or business commune
cations on blocks Of stone or wood. But
for the first letter writer of distinction
1t is necessary to turn to the Book of
Kings, where in chapter q, verses to
10, we are told how Queen Jezebel,
wife Of Ahab, wishing to compass the
death of Naboth, "wrote letters in
Ahab's name and sealed them with his
seal and sent the letters unto the eld-
ers and to the mobiles that were in his
city and that dwelt with Naboth," these
dignitaries suggesting plot which
ended in the death of Naboth by ston-
ing.

TESTING SOIL FOR ACIDITY
Most Common Method Is by Means OF
Blue LItmus Paper-Pink Color
Indicates Acid.

The most common test for determin-
Ing if soil is acid or sour Is by means
of blue litmus paper which can be OBJ
tanned at very small cost from nearly
every druggist. A small quantity OF
moist soil from the field Is compacted
into ball, the ball broken into halves,
Il strip Of litmus paper laid across one
part and the pHkts pressed firmly to-
gether again. After an hour or so the
ball of soil should be again broken
apart and the paper removed. If the
paper shows decided pink color the
sample Oh soil is acid. If deep
rooted crop such as alfalfa is to be
grown 1t will be well to test samples
taken from both the surface soil and
the subsoil.
