INCREASE OF POULTRY URGED
Demand Can Be Met Most Effectively
by Introduction of Better Stock
and Methods.

(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture
An appeal to poultry raisers to i'm
crease their production of poultry,
meat, and eggs has been issued by the
American Association of Instructors
and Investigators In Poultry Hnss
bandry, which met recently at AM
herst, Mass. These poultry experts, in
resolution, state that there will be
an unprecedented demand for breed
lag stock and poultry products, which
can be met most effectively by the in
PRODUCTION of approved methods and
better stock and management in each
flock.
The association urges particular own
ers of ffocks not to sacrifice valuable
chickens simply because feed has be-
come abnormally high in price. They
point out that such practice will
tend to reduce the supply of breeding
stock and lead to serious reduction In
output.
The members of the association,
who are the experts in poultry hus-
bandry from the several state agrieul-
tural colleges and the United States
department of agriculture, stand ready
to help all poultry producers to get
maximum results.

HOUSE, LAWN AND GARDEN.

House plants that are buggy and
shaggy and refuse to improve should
be thrown out. They are an eye
sore. Better demolish the window gar
den than to mock nature with the vic
tins of ignorance or neglect.
A pretty combination in the way of
plants for table decoration is to plant
1t with small ferns, a peperonla, a
saxifrage, and a l0copodium. They
are ass aeable to one another and
thrive with the same treatment.
Any time during the winter when
the canes are not frozen prune and tie
up grape and ornamental climbers.
This work should not be delayed until
growth starts, as it will then injure
the vines.
If you find punches of dead leaves
hanging in the trees, remove them
They contain destructive young
larvae. Spray if you see evidence Of
the scale.
If leaves strew the lawn, do not de-
stroy thema They protect the grass.
Plan to have plenty of flowers next
summer, but if you are restricted In
your desire, determine to begin
hardy, herbaceous border. This should
consist of hardy, early and late bloom
ing bulbs and perennials. AS such
border is intended to be undisturbed
for years, perhaps, 1t should be deeply
spaded and well MANFRED.
If you suspect that your trees-fruit,
nut and ornamental-are troubled with
aphis or bark-louse, wash the trunk
and lower branches with soapsuds or
I've water. Whitewash is also effec-
tive in keeping the trees healthy, but
most of US object to whitening the
tree trunks.
Order trees, seeds, plants and nur-
sery stock early and secure the va
rieties you want, the best stock and
exactly what you ask for.
Remember that nothing "just hap
pens"

covered is increased. There are also
other considerations which tend to
make the extended bungalow high In
cost. After certain size Of rooms is
reached, there is no advantage in In
creasfng the size of the building in
both directions. In fact, it is impos-
sible to do so both for artistic and
structural reasons. This requires the
expanding of the bungalow across it's
facade, ordinarily, since the depth of
the lot is limited, rather than the width.
In order to prevent mOnotony, this
heightened building must be given a
plan something different from the rec
tangular. The necessary irregularity
in wallis implies increased cost in franz
log them and finishing them and also
brings in an extra expense in framing
the roof to conform to the Irregular

h'he true virtue of the low, gable

ance Is concerned, obtains when there
Is no restriction placed upon the de-
signer as to the space on the ground
which may be used. 1t is fundamental
that this type of bungalow should
have an appearance of freedom. The
design, in its most radical form, may
even be carried almost to the point
where the building might be called
rambling" without seeming to vio-
late the possible characteristics of this
style.
Naturally, the type of house which
occupies large ground area with re-
spect to the total floor area provided
is not the most economical type of
houses to build either with respect to
materials or land. The man who
builds such house must be willing to
spend an appreciable proportion of his
investment in obtaining just the ap-
pearance which is desired In the low,
expanded, gable-roof bungalow, the in
crease in ground area represents an
increase in cost of the roof which is
considerably more than the cost of
adding a second floor to a smaller
building to obtain the same added
floor space. There is certain amount
of the roof cost which must be spent
more or less solely for decoration and
the proportion between this cost for
decoration and the total roof cost is
ordinarily increased as the area to be

Two perennials which are most

tiles In the walls Of the building.
These facts are not intended to dis
courage the use of the extended bunga-
low style, for it is indeed most novel
and very pleasing type of house for
the person who Is attracted by its
unique characteristics. The point Is
that quite often there is an impress
ion that the term ''bunga' w" refers
to a low-cost building and when the
prospective home builder comes to the
natter of cost, he is discouraged be-
cause what he has picked out as
low-cost building is, in reality, not
truly in that class. For small dwell
ngs, the bungalow style represents at
ractive appearance at moderate cost,
ssuming proper design. For large
wellings, the bungalow style repre-
ents striking appearance capable of
'ide variation, at rather high cost.

hall at the rear. On one side of the
connecting cased opening is closet
for wraps and on the other Is tele-
phone booth, which provides for priv
acy in telephoning. The closets in the
two bedrooms are exceptionally large.
The interior hall is special feature
in this design. 1t opens into every
room in the back of the house. The
Kitchen, the three bedrooms, and the,
bathroom are all easily reached
through this hail. The stairs to che
storage room in the attic are also In
tPris hall. The bathroom in addition
to- all the usual fixtures. is, large
enough SO that shower and linen cab
met are placed in it. There is another

A bungalow Is shown In the ac
companying perspective view. the plan
of which calls for building AZ feet
by 43 feet 6 inches. This size APP
proaches very near the limit for a
square building of this type. There
are several features which are inter
estlng, both In the exterior appearance
and interior arrangement. The build
ing is beautiful from the outside. 1t
Is modern stucco design with heavy
structural timbers and brackets show
ing. The construction forming the
supporting structure of the overhang-
ing part Of the roof above the front
porch is novel. The porch rail is
built of rough texture face brick with
white concrete copings. Chimneys are
built of the same type Of brick.
A feature of the interior of this de-
sign is the large unobstructed floor
space across the front of the house.
The reception hall is extremely roomy
ana opens through cased openings into
the living room on one side and the
dining room on the other. These open
ings are as wide as the depth of the
reception hall and give the impression
that the front of the house is all one
big room. This feature will be appre-
ciated by the lady of the house who
can readily realize it's advantage in
connection with the entertainment Of
guests.
The living room presents remark
ably cozy appearance. On the OPP
posite side from the opening into the
reception hall is a big brick fireplace,
which has bookcase on each side Of
it. The nook with the seat around it
deserves special mention. The pergola
is not built all the way across the
front of the house, but little corner
porch. The nook is built into this
corner and seems to be detached from
the rest of the room. A nook like this
makes very interesting and striking
change from the ordinary.
The window seat in the curved six
window bay in the dining room is
great convenience. 1t adds consider
aDiy 10 the use OF the dining room in
with the living room when
they are used together for entertain
ing. There is pair of double doors,
full glazed, going onto the front porch,
which make the porch and pergoia ac-
cesslble from this room. The porch
can be reached from any room in the
front of the house through similar
doors. There are two sets of double
doors from the living room and there
Is one set from the reception hall in
to the solid door at the main
entrance. All these double doors are
glazed, which helps to light these
beautiful front rooms.
The closets in this bungalow are
plentiful and generous in size. The
hall opens into an interior

to be shipped whether the feathers
should be removed.
Removing Feathers.
If the guinea fowls are to be mar.
keted with the feathers on, Ill that
should be done is to bleed them by
severing the vein in the roof of the
mouth, allowing them to hang head
downward until bleeding is complete.
If the feathers are to be removed, this
should be done by dry picking. The
vein in the roof Of the mouth is severed
first, to insure thorough bleeding, and
the knife then thrust through the
groove in the roof of the mouth into
the brain. When the brain is pierced
the feathers are loosened by convul-
sive movement of the muscles and can
be removed easily.
