WIDE PIAZZA ADDS TO HOME
Part That 10 Rooted May Easily Be
Converted Into Sun ParIor During
the Winter Months.

A good wide piazza or porch adds
greatly to the comfort and beauty of
most any home. In order to serve the
best purpose 1t should be wide and
built around several sides of the house.
This will insure cool, shady spot to
hang the hammock on q hot summer
day for rest and reading. A piazza
should be at least seven feet wide and
may be as deep as IL feet. 1t is not
necessary to have all the piazza COW
cred with a roof. 1t is a good idea
to have the part which is to be rooted
over so constructed that by the cree
ton Of glass sides a sun porch canbe
provided for winter use. In the win
ter piazza which is entirely rooted
tends to. shut Off light from the first
floor. For this reason the piazza roof
should be high, extending to the bot
tom Of the second floor windows.
In the summer the piazza may be
covered with an awning, or a vine
trellis, which on nights when there is
little air stirring does away with the
feeling Of clOseness otherwise occa-
stoned. 1t is good time to be fore
sighted when ordering the piazza to
tell the architect that it should be
made so as to be screened for the
warm season. A fine piazza Is some
times discomfort from the presence
OF flies or swarm Of mosquitoes or
moths.
For bungalow or summer cottage
near the salt water screens made of
copper wire are best as they corrode
less from contact with the sea breezes.
Ordinary black screens should be
painted two months before they are
intended to be put In use so that the
paint may have time to harden. When
windows are put up in the winter
the window sashes should be
painted with black paint over the red
wash which is put on in the fac
tory and has little preservative quail
ity in 1t.

TIMELY REMARKS ON
SPRAY PREPARATION
Power Pump Should Be Used If
Best Results Are Expected
High Pressure Needed.

The following timely remarks are
taken from letter sent out to super.
intendents Of Ohio state institutions
by S. w. Moore, horticultural Of the
Ohio board of administration.
"The power pump is the pump to
use If results are wanted. The argu-
ment used at some of the institutions
by those in charge of the work has
been that there is plenty Of hand
power or labor power and 1t is eco
nomical to use it. This sounds well,
but if the practical orchardist were
consulted, he would say that the
hand pump, aside from the labor of
running 1t, is an expensive PROPOSE
ton, as 1t is almost impossible to
maintain the pressure necessary eff
fectively and economically to cover
all parts Of the tree or plant; and
when all parts are not covered, the
application will count for little.
Success depends first upon the
material used. Second upon the ap-
plication, which means thoroughness.
The thoroughness that is necessary
can only be obtained with a heavy
pressure all the time; not $50 or 200
pounds for awhile, then Is or 80
pounds. Such a pressure will not
force the liquid into all the cracks
and crevices; and where some are
scale and fungous diseases
will be found lurking. ready again to
take possession Of the plant as
soon as weather conditions are favor
able.
IL anything is to be done along
this line, 1t Is time the spray outfits
were ordered. Spray material should
be on the way soon. as the clean up
or dormant spray should be applied
before growth begins. This Is true
Of either tree or vine."

RAVAGES'0F WORMS
CAUSE GREAT LOSS
Infested Hogs Make Gains Slowly,
If At AII-Iowa STATION
Gives Good Remedy.

A great loss on all farms where
hogs are raised results from the raw
ages Of worms. Great as are the
losses from hog cholera, 1t would not
be very wild assertion to state that
even greater losses accrue from
worms.
Hogs infested with worms gain slow.
ly, If at all, using up most of their
energy in coughing instead of using IL
for growth and fattening. Further
more, they are kept in such a weak
ened condition that they are more sus-
ceptible to diseases, including hog
cholera, and it may be said with much
confidence that hog worms are the
forerunners Of disease.
They cause disastrous results only
where they are permitted to go un-
molested. 1t is not a difficult matter
to rid a herd Of hogs of them, and
many useful remedies have been rec
commended. The Iowa experiment sta
ton has recently offered q simple
remedy that will expel worms from
hogs with much certainty. The for
mula is:
SantOnin, five grains; areca nut,
three drains; calomel, three grains,
and sodium bicarbonate, one dram.
This amount constitutes dose for a
1OO-pound pig. Twice as much should
be used for 2OO-pound pig, while half
as much should be used for a 5O-pound
pig.
Success from the use Of this for
mula depends upon Withholding from
the pigs all feed for at least IS hours
before feeding the mixture. To make
certain that all worms are expelled,
the dose should be repeated in a week
or ten days. If all of the ingredients
cannot be secured at the drug store a
substitute in the form of seven grains
of santonin and seven grains Of Gallo
mel for each 100 pounds of liveweight
may be used with success, admins
tering it in the same manner suggested
FOR the complete formula.

GREAT SAVINGS SHOWN
Patents Issued in Year Remark
abIe in Number and Character.
Among Inventions Reported Are Sew.
eraI Greatly Decreasing Coal Con-
sumption In Power Plants.

Invention in this country reached
high-tide during the calendar year
1916. FOrty-twO thousand separate
patents were issued to inventors by
Uncle Sam. 1t Is not the number of
patents issued, however, that is worthy
of note, but the character of the in
ventiOns. The patent office deals with
all the efforts Of the world in every
field of industry to advance the useful
arts. Great interests are involved, not
merely of private, but of public con-
Germ. In the discoveries that are listed
with the patent office.
AS an illustration Of what the dis
coveries of the II months mean, refer
ence may be made to the fact that one
concern in Chicago reports that it has
effected reduction in coal consump-
ton from nearly seven pounds q kilo-
watt hour to 81 pounds a kilowatt
hour, as result Of new invention.
A New York rapid transit company
introduced Improvements in the year
which, according to the patent office,
have caused drop in coal consump-
ton from 21A pounds kilOwatt hour
to ~ pounds a kilOwatt hour.
An electric plant, through some new
invention, 1t has shown, is now able to
generate electricity fpm coal more
cheaply than can be done from the wa
tiers of Niagara falls. These great
economies are due in large measure to
new inventions relating to automatic
stokers and regulators attached to
furnace construction, to forced draft
and to coal-handling machinery.
The year brought new and valuable
inventions that had to do with wire
less telegraphy, telephony. the control
of tOrpedOes, searchlights and gun
pointing, vacuum cleaning, X-ray ap-
paratus, liquefactiOn of air to produce
oxygen and nitrogen for commercial
use, flying machines, the moving pic
ture and mercury vapOr lamps.
EOr period Of some five years an
industrial fellowship maintained by
trained scientists have devoted their
time to the study of methods of bread
with the object of producing
better bread. In the last calendar
year, certain Of the processes devel-
oped through this study were patented
and put into operation.
Better nourishment of the yeast has
reduced the amount required In rails
ing the bread and maturing the dough,
with the consequent lessening of the
Of flour and sugar used up by
the yeast and converted into carbon
diOxide and alcohol. The savings of
these and other economies to those en-
ploying the novel processes patented
during the year are estimated to
amount to more than 100000 a year.
This estimate is based on the present
high scale Of prices, but on any scale |
Of prices would, 1t is asserted, be enor- |
nous.
The patents in the electrical field |
during the year were numerous. In |
the field Of farming implements there
came the improved tractor engines,
better apparatus for digging. irriga-
ion and drainage canals, improved
beet harvesters, etc.

Becomes U. S. Citizen
Again to Aid Uncle Sam.

The solution Of the paradox.
"When is an American not an
American" has Just been discov-
cred by Benno Weller. born in
Nebraska, and more recently en-
gagged as farmer in Canada.
Weller went to Canada some
years ago and, in order to obtain
patent on a farm there, became
naturaliZed citizen Of Great
Britain. A few weeks ago he re-
turned to this country and tried
to enlist In the United States
Marine corps but was rejected
as an alien. The secretary Of Ia
Dor was appealed to and decided
that Weller would be required to
go through the same procedure
as a foreigner In order d again
become a citizen Of the United
States, which he did and then
was enlisted.
Weller said he would not
change natiOnalities for q farm.

CHAMPION ENGLISH .cLYDEsDALE STALLION

Proper action in the draft horse is
important, according to David Gray,
assistant in animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. Size
and power are of little value il the
horse has not enough agility to ham
die his big weight In manner yield
ing the greatest efficiency.
action of the draft horse should
be clean, bold, and rather stylish" said
Mr.. Gray. In moving, the feet should
be carried forward and back in a
straight line, without padding, wing
ing, or other irregularity of gait. In
order to get the best and greatest
stride with the least energy it is alb
sOlutely necessary that the feet move
straight and smooth without defects
of gait.
Knee action in the draft horse is
not of great Importance. A long stride
which covers considerable ground is
much more important than high knee
action, as ability to cover ground is
what is wanted.
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1917-05-11

1.-THE walk is the important gait. II
should be snappy and true with a good
length of stride. The action of all
four legs should be strong and the
movement of the knees and hooks free
without indication of dragging or stiff
ness.
Action in Trotting.
1T is essential to note an animals
action in trOtting, because defects in
action are more perceptible when trot-
ting than when walking, although the
walk is more important from a work
Ing standpoint.
In trOtting there should be a clean
folding of the knee and hook, the feet
being carried in a straight line. The
hooks should work close together, for
if they are inclined to be carried too
far out it'causes a bandy-legged ap-
pearance which is unsightly.
Careful shoeing in a great many
cases will improve the gait of the draft
horse, tending to eliminate undesirable
features"

CAUSES OF FAILURE

1t is likely that this spring will be no

The usual causes Of failure are from

the soil, late freezes killing the young
plants just after they come up, or the
nurse crop smothers the young plants.
