ment and details of the interior and
exterior of the house. Encourage her
to Ego the limit" in saying what she
thinks ..''would be nice" Put more
features down on the list than you
could possibly crowd into house and
when there is nothing left to be de-
sired, take plenty of time in eliminat-
ing what is unnecessary and bring the
dream down to the plane Of reality.
The result will be far better than If
everyone concerned hesitates to men,

The structural features of the
house should be worked out on the
basis that it Is easy to build too large,
but it is hard to build too well. The
small house is more easily made COM
Portable than the large house. Money
saved by reducing the size of the
house, when wisely invested In using
a little better type of construction
or In providing few additional fea-
lures of comfort for the interior, will
give the owner vastly more satisfac-
ton than the pride of owning a big
house."
AS an illustration of what can be
done to make the house comfortable
the design shown In the accompany
ing perspective view and the plan has
been selec I'd. The size of this house
is 40 feet by "a feet 6 inches. The
exterior Is designed to present home
like appearance, a little of the old
fashioned idea of ''home" being clever
ly worked into the design in the shut
tered windows and the sharply out
Eiined gables. The main body of the
house Is rigidly rectangular, with the
long dimension across the front A
central projection provides the living
room extension and the front porch is
built as an extension of this part of
the house. The house Is one-story
structure, but the type Of roof which
has been selected for the design makes
it possible to obtain large and well
lighted attic. A modern idea which
is finding quite rapid acceptance Is to
finish such an attic as this with wall

scheme providing additional rooms at
very moderate expense. The lumber
item for such an improvement consists
in a few light framing members to
provide basis on which to apply the
wall board and framework in which
the doors may be hung.
The exterior appearance of the
house is rustic. The walls are fin
ished with stained shingles and all
windows are provided with shutters
The roof corniee entirely around the
house is given rather wide overhang,
but the edges of the roof above the
gables is held quite closely to the
walls. A large brick chimney projects

the main part of the house. A seat Is
built in against the wall Of this ex-
tension on either side of the front
door. Because Of the proportions Of
this room, these seats are close enough
to the fireplace to make This a very
cozy arrangement.
There Is a cased opening into the
dining room. In the same wall, near
the rear end of the room, double
door leads back to the kitchen. Ad-
joining the kitchen Is an exceptionally
complete pantry, which Is another of
the special features of this house de-
sign. One side Of the pantry Is occu-
pied by an outside-iced refrigerator
and a wide cupboard with two seats
Of double doors. The central part of
the opposite wall is the back Of
china case which opens into the din
ing room. On either side Of this case
is a narrow cupboard opening into the
pantry.
The bedrooms open from the hall at
the rear end of which is the bath. The
hall, turning to the bath, terminates
In door opening into the kitchen.
The attic stair is also reached from
this hall. The basement stair Is
reached from the kitchen. There
Is rear porch IL feet 6 inches
by 6 feet built into the corner Of the
house at the rear Of the pantry.
Dividing the house into three perts,
the first including the living room, the
second including the kitchen, dining
room and pantry and the third includ-
ing the two bedrooms and the bath,
the following characteristics are easily
observed: The first part has been de-
signed with the predominating effort
to provide every possible feature which
might add to the comfort of the room.
The second part has been designed
to provide the housewife with every
convenience which might assist her In
reducing housework to a minimum.
The third part has been designed to
follow the best practice in lighting
and ventilation for bedrooms, with the
independence of these rooms with re-
spect to one another and the bath as
a necessary assumed quantity.

THE ONION AND THE PARSNIP
Nv w. r. GILBERT.

Onions can never have too rich
soil for their requirements. Parsnips
can, and all we want for the latter is
a deeply titled plot in fairly good
earth, to which no fresh manure has
recently been added.
This, given fairly dry weather con-
ditions, should be made ready as early
as possible, as the sooner the seeds
are got in, with safety, the better the
chances will be for their developing
into shapely disable roots of good size.
AS a matter of fact, we never see
parsnips too big, provided the roots
are clean and shapely, but understood
specimens with possible prongs to
their bodies are hardly worth the dig
ging.
Most of the pronging, possibly all of
1t, arises from the prepared oil. If
white sand can be had to incorporate
with the soil. it should be freely used.
In digging. two splits at least are
necessary, and if the grower chooses
to go another foot he will be repaid
for his trouble.
should be given for working the whole
with digging fork; after that some
little consolidation of the surface will
be necessary to prevent sinking into
hollows during the process OF sowing.
For this the surface must be suffi-
GENTLY dry to prevent all suspicion of
clinging to the feet, and if you cannot
have those happy conditions just at
the time wanted, you must wait for
them.
Drills about two inches in, depth
should be drawn for the seeds, and as
we want really food roots, the drills
may well be drawn IS inches apart.
In these the seeds should be sown
thinly, and the error Of putting in 80
seeds where but one is wanted should
not be so common. Allowance must,
of course be made for failures, but
two seeds should never touch, or there
is trouble for the thinner, who, in pull
ing one is apt to pull both.
Those who glory in the big onion
have the ground fattened up for its
delectation long beforehand, but per-
. sonally / do not care for the Goliaths
Nof this vegetable, medium sized good
keepers being all that is necessary.
Even these, however, are not above
seeking the good things of plant life
and using them when found.
The onion is deeper roofing SUBJ
ject than many are aware of and al
though all we want is above ground,
to get that good the roots go down
into it, so deep tillage in this case is
desirable.
If the ground is well worked, under
dry conditions, 1t can be thoroughly

The drills may be drawn as for
