work fits well into the design and the
stucco carries along the general idea
to the smallest detail. Stone Is used
in building the porch walls and the
chimney. The porch columns are built
of wood with stucco finish. The floor
Of the porch and the steps are made
OF concrete. The large roof surface
Is relieved with small dOrmers. Raft

the entire forward half of the first
floor. An open stair Is built along

at the bottom which is two steps
above the level Of the living room
floor. At the other end of the room
is a large fireplace with a bookcase on
each side. The small closet directly
opposite the front door will be handy
for wraps.
The dining room layout includes q

HAY SUPPLY FOR DAIRY cows
Roughages Are Relatively Cheaper
Than Grain, but Should Not Be
Fed Exclusively.

Because Of the large hay crop and
the small demand for 1t now, r~Oughages
should be fed to the limit Of the dairy
cows capacity, says Prof. G. G. Hay
den of the Ohio experiment station.
Relatively, the roughages, like hay
and corn slower, are much cheaper than
grains, and hay Is of unusually good
quality. R%oughage, of course, should
not be fed exclusively, as such feeding
might lead to compaction and death,
even In dry cows and heifers. Some
grain Is needed In every dairy ration"
This dairy specialist also declares
"ChOice alfalfa hay at 500 a ton is
cheaper than bran at $50. Our expert
ments show that soy bean hay is in the
same class as alfalfa, and clover is
third. With corn at 81 a bushel, clover
hay should be worth about $40 a ton, or
IS more than 1t Is now quoted"
Timothy hay Is recommended for
milking cows only in small quantities,
to replace such grains as corn and
hominy. Leguminous roughages have
proved far superior in numerous *
periments to timothy for cows In milk.

WORK AROUND HOME GROUND
New Responsibility Placed on Every
Farmer by Improvement Of Rural
Roads and Highways.

The improvement of rural highways
and the building Of good roads lay @
new responsibility upon every farmer
1t means that there will be a greatly
increased amount Of traffic passing by
his homestead 1t will bring him more
closely in touch with the outside
world, including citizens from the i'm,
mediate neighborhoOd, from the sur.
rounding counties and indeed from
many parts of other states.
The farmer and his home life are
now brought more directly to the at
tention Of the general public. Under
these circumstances II. +. Major of the
Missouri college of agriculture sug-
gests that he take more pride in the
development of his home grounds. "a
man is known by the company he
keeps" so the character of a man is
judged by his home life and the at
mOsphere with which he surrounds
himself.
The improvement of the grounds
does not necessarily imply spending
great sums or building an extensive
"ShOw Place" decorated with architec-
tural furnishings and formal gardens.
1t means treating the yard as an out
Of-dOOr living room; as a part Of the
house. 1t means, keeping 1t clean and
neat and comfortable and cheerful. 1t
should be decorated with fine trees,
beautiful Towering shrubs. and with
annual and perennial flowers that fill
the soul with gladness and make home
a lovable spot surrounded by endear-
ing associations
