The beauty of face brick house con-
,truction is recognized by everyone as
an accepted quality. Likewise, ex-
perience has proved that face brick
construction stands for low upkeep
cost, reduced fire risk from exterior
sources, reduced insurance rate, ready
sale value and permanence. A build
ng material which possesses these
qualities has, naturally, a strong ap-
peal to the prospective home builder
The question of cost, in the average
case, is of the utmost Importance. In
he earlier methods of using face
brick, this type Of construction
became associated with the class
If high-cost buildings. The man
who wanted to build a little FIVE
:oom cottage could hardly consid-
er brick as a possible material for the
construction of the walls. If he built

BAGGING GRAPES is FAVORED
While Not Profitable in Commercial
Vineyard, 1t Will Prove Successful
in Small Patches.

While 1t Is not profitable to bag in
commercial vineyard, it will always
prove successful in a home vineyard.
By bagging the ripening period can be
held back for two weeks. Besides,
when grapes are thoroughly sprayed
and bags put on Immediately, there is
not so much danger of rotting. Bag
ging keeps birds and bees from injur-
ing the grapes, therefore, more per-
feet punches are produced.
Place the bunch in strong three
pound paper bag, such as is used in a
grocery store. Fold the corners and pin
securely around the stem just above
the grapes. A small hole about one-half
inch in diameter should be cut in one
corner of the bag at the bottom to al
low water to run out. The bags are
not costly, but it takes some time to
put them on. In the home vineyard 1t
is very paying proposition, as it gives
you longer ripening period and more
perfect punches.

which keeps the coal bills down to mini
mum in the winter also helps to keep
the house cool during the summer.
The appearance and arrangement of
the house shown in the accompanying
photograph and floor plan may be used
as an example Of careful design of the
small cottage. While the building is
exceedingly simple in every way, its APP
pearance is pleasing even more than
is suggested by the photograph. The
real appearance value Of the house is
realized only when the graded, soft
colors of the face brick walls are seen,
harmonizing with the dark-stained
shingle surface under the porch gable
and contrasting with the pure white of
the porch cOpings and the trim. A
house of this kind should be unob-
truslve; striking colors should be
avoided; the soft, warm colors tend to
remove the appearance Of "cheap-
ness" which Is all too easily evident
In a small house decorated In excess
sive brilliancy. In selecting the face
brick, rather dark-toned, soft-texture
type would be appropriate, the white
trim being relied upon to brighten the
building sufficiently. Mortar of a
harmonizing, dark color is preferable.
1t will be noticed that there are two
kinds of walls shown on the plan. This
convention is used to indicate that the
house Is built as brick veneered
structure. The brick are indicated by
the solid black and the cross-hatched
walls are of wood. The brick veneer Is
tied to the wood studs or sheathing
with galvanized iron wall ties or cut
nails every four or five courses.
The plan furnishes an interesting
study In that every inch of the inclosed
space Is used economically and the ar
rangement Is made with a view to
minimizing the labor of housekeeping.
The living room and dining room,
placed In the 81" arrangement shown,
form commendable feature in that,
with the large cased opening between
them, they are practically one room
and yet the privacy Of the dining room
Is secured. Bedrooms arranged with
the bath between cannot be improved
upon in the matter Of convenience
The kitchen with it's handy pantry can
be relied upon to please the housewife
There is a basement under the main
part Of the house.

PARAFFIN CAN BE CLEANED
Do Not Throw 1t Away Because 1t
Has Become Dirty, Says Specialist
of Agricultural Department.

Paraffin that has become unclean
through usage in canning and preserv-
ing may be cleaned and reused.
Don't throw it away because dirt
and trash have become mixed with it.
Many times it can be cleaned with a
brush in cold water.
If this does not remove all the dirt
says a specialist of the United States
department of agriculture, heat the
paratfin to boiling and strain it through
two or three thicknesses of cheese
cloth placed over a funnel, or a thin
layer of absorbent cotton over one
thickness of Cheesecloth may be used
as the Strainer.
One straining should be sufficient
ordinarily but if the paraftin still is
unclean, heat and strain again. Any
paratfa lodging in the strainer may
be recovered by heating the cloth and
pouring the hot liquid into another
Strainer.

lengths carried In the stocks Of aver
age lumber yards. This fact has
critical bearing on the success Of the
small cottage design. Considerable
material may sometimes be saved by
adjusting the arrangement of rooms,
but the economy idea must not be al
lowed to dominate to the extent that
the comfort or convenience of the
home is impaired. The waste of time
in building is related, in some ways, to
the waste of materials. Let us sup
pose that the plans of a small cottage
do not include sheet of "Details"
which are drawings made by the de-
signer to show the builder how certain
of the parts of the structure, about
which there might be some question,
are to be built. 1t is then up to the
builder how these parts shall be built,
and in case he is not acquainted with
the ideas of the designer, there Is
possibility that the method which he
decides to use will result in both
waste of materials and time. 1t is
important that anyone who expects to
build a house Of this kind be certain
that the plans include detail showing
exactly how the foundation, walls, roof
and all other parts of the building are
to be constructed and also a detail of
exterior trim. This is especially i'm
portant when the plans are prepared
by someone other than the builder who
does the construction work. 1t pre-
vents mistakes, and mistakes always
represent loss and dissatisfaction.
The Importance of high quality con-
struction in small houses cannot be
overestimated. Original cost some
times acts like the balm that deadens
pain only to increase the discomfort
after it's soothing effect has been spent.
The poorly constructed small house
which appears to be a good investment
at the time of it's construction may
gradually assume a different aspect
under, say, the action of particular
ly cold winter. With the present high
cost Of fuel, it seems good judgment
to spend little money in building the
house so that it Is easy to heat and
then in the installation of a heating
system which is designed for econom-
ical operation. A double advantage is
obtained in building for heat insula-
ton in that the same forethought

ioted to the purchase of materials.
Buildings hastily designed or those
having the plans merely drawn" quite
often cause their owners to feel that
they have hardly obtained their
moneys worth. The reason Is either
because of wasted time or wasted
materials. The small cottage which is
really designed for economy in order
that high-grade materials may be used,
must have every detail so worked out
that when a board is sawed 10 obtain
a piece for one particular place in the
structure, there will also be place for
what remains of that board. All struc-
lures are designed with the idea con-
stantly In mind that wherever wood Is
used 1t must be taken from pieces in

PLAN TO PICK RASPBERRIES
ASSIGN Two Pickers to Each Numbered
Row and Keep Chart and Record
at Packing Shed.

In picking raspberries, number the
rows, then assign two pickers to each
row, and keep chart and record at
the packing shed. In field of 40 to
60 long rows 1t is very difficult for
pickers to find their own row after
taking a carrier Of fruit to the pack
ing house unless the rows are given
some distinguishing mark or number.
BY this plan we know just what rows
are picked, and can check up the work
Of each picker.
Let the pickers use four-quart car
riers and as soon as the baskets are
filled bring them to the nearest pack
ing shed and get their card punched
before they receive any more baskets.
Pickers are not allowed to take any
extra baskets with them to the field.

A toad in the garden Is worth its

to stay. Toads are easily tanned and

will allow you to pull weeds or hoe
around him without being alarmed. A
toad looks stupid and one can scarcely
call it beautiful, but if one watches
it closely he will fi-d much to interest

will destroy so many harmful insects
in so short q time without doing harm
to anything else. Most persons prefer
the toad to the snake, but no harm
Is done If you keep both in your gar
den patch. Encourage them to live in
your garden. Observing their ways
and realizing the good they do, you
will learn to feel kindly toward these
creatures so generally despsed.
