FOR AN ATTRACTIVE HALL

One of the most striking halls that
have been designed recently shows a
background of natural wood. In the
instance in question the wood is gum.
When treated with stain and wax it
takes on an antique, dusty, brown tone
that makes it perfect background for
decorative purposes. An antique rug,
in low tones, with a like design for
the stair carpet, gives a rich appear
ance. The hangings are deep null
berry -colored velvet, trimmed with
gallOOns of dull gold. Dark walnut
furniture is used.

MAINTAIN FERTILITY CT SOIL
Specialists at Ohio Experiment Station
Recommend Use Of Phosphates
to Re-enforce Manure.

Since phosphorus is carried off the
farm in relatively large amounts in
grain crops, in the bones of animals.
and In milk, soil specialists at the Ohio
experiment station recommend the use
of acid phosphate or raw phosphate
rock to re-enforce barnyard manure,
If fertility of the soil is to be main
tained. Acid phosphate is more gem
orally recommended, because under
average conditions it is more effective
and more economical than the raw
rock.
Acid phosphate has returned more
than three times it's cost in crop yields
in many tests at the experiment sta
tion, even when used in connection
with manure. 1t is ordinarily used at
the rate Of 40 pounds per ton of ma
nure. The phosphate may be spread
over the manure in the shed or yard
or mixed with 1t at the time of hauling.
It may also be sprinkled over the
stable floor behind the animals, about
one pound being used daily per 1000
pounds live weight of the animal. In
the latter case it also acts as an abb
Sorbent of the liquid manure.

that are allowed to pasture upon land
that harbors cutworns will root up
and devour great quantities of the in
sects.
In most cases the moths lay their
eggs in the late summer or early fall
in fields which are covered with grass
or weeds. The worms hatch in few
weeks, feed upon this vegetation until
cold weather, and then hibernate as
partly-grOwn caterpillars. When the
infested field is broken up and planted
to corn or other wide-row crops in the
spring. the worms are deprived of their
natural food and are compelled to at
tack the newly-planted crop. They
continue to consume an enormous
amount Of food until they have at
tanned their full growth, and change
to the pupal or resting stage in late
June or early July.

ATTENTION TO COLTS FEET
Uneven Growth Will Often Result in
Misshappen Joints and Bones
Use Rasp and Nippers.

The colts feet require attention. An
uneven growth of the feet at this pc
riOd will often result in mishapen
bones and joints that will prove to be
permanent injuries. If the colt will
let you handle him at all 1t is easy to
keep the feet correctly proportioned
with nippers and rasp; practice and
observation will soon enable q man
who has fair judgment to determine
what trimming the feet of each colt
need.
AS general rule the feet should
be examined every six or eight weeks.
If the colts owner can't look after
this matter himself he should obtain
the services of someone who can, for
it may mean the difference of fifty
or one hundred dollars In the value of
the animal later in life.

LAYING QUALITY OF PULLETs
Trying to Keep Flock of All
Kinds and CoIors.

The thinking poultryman realizes
that the male is "half of the pen."
The chickens have one father in COM
mon and may have separate mothers,
so the males vigor and personality is
n every chick.
Get purebred male. Stop this keep
ng flock of all kinds and colors. Be
careful to choose a male of real merit,
ored with care and for purpose.
Whichever Of the two aims-eggs OF
meats the best with you, select for
that purpose, but never forget that a
well-bred cockerel, one bred from
pHat-producing and egg-laying ances-
try. will decidedly improve the laying
quality of the pullets, even If you are
aiming and have chosen for the pur-
pose of size.

ART IN GARDEN MAKING
BY ELlzAeETH VAN RENTHuYsEN.

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN.
One may take the most expensive
garden decoration that money can buy,
companies this little story, and get
from it an idea that does not have to
depend upon the purse for it's develop
ment. In the picture is shown one of
the prettiest bits of decorative garden
art in America. Aside from the bit of
statuary in the center, nature and
small expense supplied the rest of the
setting. Note the grouping of the bulb
plants in the foreground and the con-
summate art with which the gardener
worked in the background.
1t will be seen that he has worked
In masses in both directions. He has
made his effect In the curved row of
bulb plants merely by massing; the
profuse background has been grouped
much as florist or country boy pre-
pairing a bouquet for his sweetheart
from the wild flowers of the wood
would assemble cut flowers to get O
loose and graceful arrangement. There
Is an absolute lack of appearance of
studied effect. But the study is there
just the same. It is given to the task
of getting away from the stiff arrange
ment indicated by the Mother Goose
jingle:
How does your garden grow?
With fairy bells and cookie shells.
And pretty maids all in row.
Real art is always the nearest pos
sible approach to nature. Nobody ever
saw nature set out a lot of plants In
regular form. The gardener who de-
signed this garden worked to have his
massing background take as nearly as
possible the direction that nature
would give them.
One may substitute very modest
center decoration for the statuary and
still keep intact the design. am glad
to be able to give this wonderful de-
sign by so famous an artist for the
use of the many readers who constantly
try to make garden something more
than mere place to plant things.

THE NEGRO NOT

THE NEGRO NOT
A PRUssIAN.
DR.. Frank Crane in a recent issue
of the New York Globe writing on
the Negro in art" made the follow
ing observations:
what is the future for the Ameri-
can Negro? Is he always going to be
an inferior race? Is he never going
t. emerge from the shadow Of his
bondage?
Perhaps the problem is being
solved by a power not OF ourselves"
by the deep purpose of nature and
her slow process of evolution.
THE word problem is not good.
There are no social problems, such
as a labor, a race or religious prob
lem; such things are conditions to be
lived through, instead of puzzles to be
worked out.
And perhaps the Negro wants
most of all to be let alone. He does
not wan to be studied as a case, nor
patronized, nor helped. All he
wants is q square deal, equal oppor-
tunity, and his Just deserts.
81 think the Negro is by nature the
/ race best suited to Christianity.
THE Negro has none of that Of
fensive and hard pride that stains
the Caucasian. He is the exact op-
pOsite of the Prussian.
