BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

There are certain important fea-
lures which must be considered in de-
signing home for large family. One
of the most important of these is the
arrangement Of the sleeping quarters.
The structural requirements is that
large number of bedrooms, all well
lighted and well ventilated, be in
cluded in proper position relative to
the bath. The boys and the girls Of
the family must be definitely segre-
gated and it is ideal If the division is
such that two bathrooms can be pro-
vided, one for the girls and one for the
boys. This arrangement is particular
ly appreciated during the hurried ac-
tivities just before breakfast.
There is nothing more impressive or
inspiring than large family brought
up so that every member has love Of
home. Parents are at a disadvantage
If the home does not offer the adj
vantages which will inspire this quail
lty in the children. The girls of the
family are, generally speaking, easier

wide opening. A set of folding doors,
full-glazed, is placed in this opening,
so that an abundance of light is adj
mitted into the dining room from the
breakfast porch. A beautiful buffet is
one of the chief attractions of the
dining room. This buffet is built into
a narrow bay in the exterior wall of the
room. Two china cases with adjusta-
Bile shelves form the upper part of the
buffet. These cases flank a group Of
three small plate-glass windows in
the exterior wall. A small window is
placed in the main wall on either side
of the buffet. st
In the corner of the house diagonal
ly opposite the breakfast room is den
which is included for the benefit of the
men of the house. This den may be
made into loggia In the summer time
by opening all of the easement win
dows, or it may be closed tightly for
warmth in the winter time. There is
a great advantage in easement win
dows for built-in loggia. They close
more tightly than door and open to
expose the entire window area when
desired. There is way of arranging
curtains for these windows which per-
mits them to open sideways. They are
hung on horizontal wires and are
pulled by draw-strings to fold back In
narrow plaits.
The second-hoor plan shows an ex-
cellent arrangement of five bedrooms,
sewing room and two bathrooms.
The rooms are all light and airy and
their communication with the hall in
sures perfect privacy throughout.
Closet space is adequately provided
for. A better second-fioor arrangement
for large family could hardly be inn
agined. 1t conforms fully with the re-
quirements for bringing up such a
family, and it offers, in full measure,
the qualities of comfort and convent
ence.

First-FIoor Plan.

objects In life which he will form dur
ing this period will be a desire to
establish home up to the standard of
his childhood.
Every boy should be encouraged to
take up hobby early In life. The ar
rangement OF the home has a definite
relation to the establishment of his
interest In this hobby. If he takes up
the study Of certain class of books,
he must have place to keep these
books where it is possible for him to
cultivate habits Of orderliness. He
must have a table or desk where he
may study without straining his eyes.
Where there is a boy in the family
who is interested in reading, a small
den Is o most excellent feature to In
corporate into the design of the house.
If the boy has mechanical turn of
aind, he should be provided with a
work bench and the equipment and
tools which are needed for the salts

sometimes meet his needs. or, if his
interest is In electricity or some work
which does not involve excessive noise
or vibration, an attic dormer is just
the place for his workshop.
The illustration shows an elegant
residence design of cement stucco con-
struction, AZ feet by SO feet inches
in size, exclusive of the porch and sun
parlor. This house is very carefully
designed for large family, and all
of the points which are mentioned
above have been considered in its ar
rangement. The design follows the
square type of house, and just enough
ornamentation has been included to
produce distinctive appearance. The
hip roof is used broken up with dor
mers, which light the attic. The win
dows are symmetrically placed in
groups, for the most part. The corners
of the building are buttressed and the
window trim is designed to conform

group of windows has a weather
shield above it, which is also very eff
fective from the standpoint of appear
ance. A distinctive chimney cap of
stone and face brick is used One of
the attractive features of the exterior

& There is much that is of interest In
the arrangement of the house. The
large reception hall, with the convent

pie elegance. The living room is Of
generous size and Is finished up to a
high standard. The modern large
house is hardly complete without a

Even in town if one has but a back

there is d decided difference between

FATrENED STEERS READY FOR MARKET.

in case of the nondelivery of stock
that has been listed for shipment on
certain day This is one of the com
mon difficulties experienced by live
stock shipping associations. The man.
ager orders car space for certain
amount of stock, and when a part of
this stock is not delivered the shipping
expenses of the other members are
increased proportionately. 1t is
thought therefore, that by requiring
negligent members to pay the loss sus-
tanned through nondelivery of stock
the trouble would be brought to min
imum.
The managers of some of the older
associations, together with others ia
miliar with the details of the business,
advise that the sinking fund be lin
tied to an amount sufficient only for
emergencies. The board of directors
should determine the size of the fund,
and when the full amount has been
accumulated the charges should be SO
fixed as to maintain it at about that
point. This would do away with the
possibility of any trouble arising from
the distribution of surplus as divi-
dendS among the members.
In order that the shipments of the
association may be disposed of in
whatever manner may be found most
advantageous under varying condi-
lions, the following may be added to
the fourth sentence of section /, chap
ter 2 of the bylaws: cor from the pur-
chaser of the stock" Similarly, sec
ton 2 of chapter may be modified by
inserting after shipment" cor by the
purchaser of the stock"
Some associations have included in
the bylaws a chapter stating that nom
members who ship stock with the as
ISOLATION will be charged a small fee
for the privilege. This fee varies from
two to five cents per hundredweighs
and is placed in the general fund.- The
ACCESSIBILITY of such plan, at least IN
til the association is well established
In community, is doubtful. Many are
of the opinion that it tends to keep
farmers from shipping their stock with
the association, and as successful CO.
operation depends largely upon patron

MPORTANT FACTORS
IN FATTENING PIGS
Grinding Corn Saves 6 Per Cent
Alfalfa Meal viii Give
Economical Results.

(By I. E. LEIPER. Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins. Colo.
Two points need to be considered
when fattening young pigs for the.
market, namely: how shall the corn
be fed, and what shall wo feed with
1t to furnish the growing animal with
muscle and BODYBUILDING constituents.
After conducting experiments for
ten consecutive winters, Henry found
that grinding corn effected a saving
of 8 per cent. This means that, with
corn at So per hundred 81 cents can
be saved on every hundred pounds fed,
by grinding. If barley can be secured
cheaper than corn, the Colorado ex-
pertinent station recommends oae-half
the corn in the ration being replaced
by the same number of pounds Of
rolled barley.
summary of 80 trials at various
experiment stations answers the Sec
ond point. Although the pigs aver
aged 116 pounds when put on full
feed. the lots fed corn and another
feed rich in protein and mineral such
meal or alfalfa meal, made over 40
per cent larger gains and required 81
per cent less feed for 100 pounds gain.
than the lots fed corn alone. Tank
age has proved to be one of the most
economical supplements with corn at
this station and should be fed one part
to six parts of corn.
Some feeders are wondering if al.
falfa meal will prove economical un-
der the present condition of high
priced feeds. With alfalfa meal at
$40 per ton and corn at S2.75 per hun
dred, cost Of feed per 100 pounds gain
Is $l2.SA With tankage at $50 per
ton and corn at $2.75 cost Of feed per
100 gain is $12.95. The hog feeder viii
find alfalfa meal nearly as economical
as tankage and when marketed
through hogs will assure him good
profit.

Toothsome Creations
Demonstrated by Mrs.
More at Guild House

Do you know how to make New
England fish chowder without using
any of the ingredients that the gov.
eminent is asking us not to use? Do
you know how to make milo maize
biscuit? Do you know how to make
cornmea1 gingerbread that will just
naturally melt in your mouth? Do
you know how to make apple .porcu-
pine the way Hoover would like you
to make it? Do you now, really? Be-
cause if you don't it is great pity
that you didn't go to the cooking class
at the Guild House Thursday and
learn how. And then, besides, all the
time that Mrs. More was demonstrat.
ing these recipes she talked and what
she said was worth going down to
hear; that is, of course, if you are
one of the women who are conscien
tiously trying to do what their coun
try is asking them to do.
The lesson next Thursday (the 11th)
is to be a pastry lesson and, unless
you are pretty well posted on the sub
ject already, it will be a good chance
to learn how to use oatmeal and milo
maize in making real good pie.
The materials used in these cook
ing lessons are most generously do
mated by Moore's Grocery, McKee's
Grocery, Tribolet's Market and the
Ray Market.

Those who are condemning the ex-

that there is no more reason why a
loud-mouthed labor agitator in the
state should escape the draft than
that one of the leading captains of

CAvALRYMEN IS
LONGING FOR
DEAR OLD RAY
Douglas, Ariz., March rs, 1918

Douglas, Ariz., March 25, 1918.
Ray Copper Camp,
Ray, Arizona.
Gentlemen: Seeing so many write
ups regarding Troop D., it makes me
feel like dorpping few lines back to
old friends at Ray.
Well, Troop D is now nicely settled
in camp again, but many thoughts are
ing camp of Ray. Many of the boys
seem to be homesick, but we have
another name for it-love-sick. But
nevertheless, the boys were acting so
strangely that our lieutenant doctor
quarantined the troop, thinking per-
haps it might be the scarlet fever, and
we are tied up for fourteen days. But
still that has nothing to do with our
drilling and other little troop duties,
as right now we are busy firing on the
range, as that is something that comes
once a year, that is, to find the men
that are good shots and those that
are not. Uncle Sam pays extra for
good shooting, and the troop comman-
der gives kitchen police to the man
who is a poor shot. But shooting or
no shooting, Troop D would without
a doubt give it's hunks to only be
back in little old Ray, as we miss
our club dances, our free moving pic
lures, and the many good people whom
we met each day on the street, as
now we never meet anyone that would
think of giving us a look, unless it is
a taxi driver, and he would charge
extra for speaking to you.
1t is the talk that we will be leav-
ing here for the front within two
months. At least, we all hope so.
But still it would be a shame to take
poor Sergeant Meldack or Sergeant
Barnes, Arledger or poor old Pete
Diviless, any farther away from Ray
and the ones who await their return,
and of course there is poor old Jaw
bone Smith, but it is expected that he
will be leaving for Ray soon.
Sending my best regards to the
many good people of Ray, and also
thanking the Ray Copper Camp for
printing these few lines, 1 remain
a friend to all,
c. N. SMITH.
