distance will have to be travelled In
doing the work. The cupboard for the
dishes is between the kitchen and din
Ing room, while the refrigerator is set
into an alcove. In the entryway, be-

porch, are located the washtubs. This
takes the washing out of the kitchen,

down the basement stairs, Here also
is space for a chemical closet, which

ear and the threshed grain to the bin.
It will haul live stock to market, thus
making a saving of 8 to per cent
over the shrinkage caused by driving
stock on the hoof.
Many Advantages.
A motor truck offers the farmer the
advantage of prompt delivery Of his
perishable produce, thus reducing
waste through decay, as when ham
died by wagon or railroad, and turn
ing into cash crops which would other
wise be lost. Through its speed it en-
ables him to run his farm with less
help, it increases the radius of land
profitable for market gardening and
small farms around the cities, and will
pay for itself in the first six months
of use through the actual net saving
it will make on any modern farm.
With all these advantages and with
the absolute certainty Of successful
operation, there is no good reason why
the American farmer should hesitate
to purchase motor trucks today.

state enough money was saved to farm
ers by dispOsing Of 100000 Stacker
hens to more than pay the expenses
incurred for all of the extension work
carried on in that state, and this Gull
ing work was only part of the extern
sion enterprise.
1t was the one campaign wherein re-
suits were immediate, however, and 1t
also afforded a definite basis upon
which to estimate and tabulate the
financial saving. The "better poultry"
and "early hatch" campaigns were Of
even greater importance, and the saw
ing and conservation of food through
the "preserve eggs" and the 'infertile
egg" campaigns runs well up into the
hundreds of thousands of dollars the
representatives report. More stress is
now being placed upon the educational
features of poultry work to insure
greater efficiency in management. The
farmer or poultry raiser will not be
content in the future with an average
egg yield of six or seven dozen for
each hen, when it is known that the
average yield should be from nine to
twelve dozen.

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
SUBJECT OF building. for the readers of this
paper: On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he

The present-day home builder is to
be congratulated. In the homes that
are designed and constructed in this
generation there has been a complete
change in the idea that house to
be comfortable has to have innumer-
able rooms that are seldom used.
The modern home contains only as
many rooms as the owner can use con-
tinuously, but those rooms are design
ed so that they give the maximum in
comfort, and at the same time do not
overburden the housekeeper with work.
And what is of greatest importance is
that this idea of conservation of space
without sacrifice of comfort has made
it possible to build a home more
cheaply.
The home shown in the accompany
ing illustration embodies the features
mentioned. This is a small house that
Is not costly to build, but it contains
accommodations for the average fam.
lily, and the rooms are so arranged
that it is an exceptionally comfortable
and convenient home. Also it is a
home that can be erected on com
paratively small lot, as its dimensions
are only q by 81 feet.
AS will be seen by the perspective
view this is a most attractive home
from the exterior. The roof starting
at the ridge runs in a graceful curve

Provide roosts and dropping boards.
Keep hens free from lice and the

Always handle ducks and geese. by

which are not strong enough to serve
as handles.
An angry old goose will sometimes
strike with her wings hard enough to
break a mans arm, and care should be
taken when handling geese.
Old fowls do not need much corn or
cornmeal during hot weather, but a
certain amount should be fed to make
q fairly well-balanced ration.

deformed specimens among the chicks,

INSPECT SHIPMENTS OF EGGS
Federal Food Inspectors of Depart
ment of Agriculture Watch for
Violations of Law.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Interstate shipments of eggs are be-
ing watched closely during the hot
months by federal food inspectors of
the department of agriculture, in order
that appropriate action may be taken
when such shipments violate the law.
Shipments containing eggs which
have yolks stuck to the shell, moldy
eggs, black spots, mixed rots, added
eggs, and any other eggs which are
filthy, decomposed or putrid, are In
violation Of the law.
Careful Gambling before shipment
will enable dealers to eliminate the
bad eggs. The elimination Of the
spoiled or partially spoiled eggs be-
fore shipment not only removes the
hazard of violating federal and state
food laws, but it is economical in that
it saves shipping charges on eggs like
ly to be rejected at place Of receipt. A
number of states have laws or regula'
lions specifically requiring the Gambling
of all eggs placed on sale.
Directions as to how to candle eggs
as well as information regarding the
best methods of packing, shipping anc
storing eggs, will be sent upon request
to the United States department Of
agriculture, Washington.

ings clubs" and thousands of members
have started to save consistently for
homes OF their own. The plan is simply
that those who want homes Of their
own begin to save certain sums at
stated intervals, weekly or monthly.
When the savings have reached the
amount required for the first payment
on the home, the house Is erected and
the owner lives in it while paying the
balance of the cost in monthly Install
ments, just as the renter pays his
landlord. The difference Is that with
In a few years the home Is paid for
and belongs to the family that lives In

Every member of these "Home Saw

sort of home that he wants and Of the
design for that home, for planning
the home that is to be built should not
be done hurriedly. 1t should be re-
membered that the home as finally
planned and built will be lived in for
a number Of years, unless the owner
should decide to sell, and the design
should be selected accordingly. There
are thousands of good house designs
that are easily obtainable. A consul
tation with the banker, the lumber
dealer, the local architect, or the build
ing contractor will secure for the pros
pective builder designs Of homes OF
the sort that he thinks he would like
to have. A study Of these designs
will give the home builder many good

forced into the background by the
needs of the war, 1t is a natural In
ference that the French dealers now
have practically no stocks Of farm ma

arrive has caused the sale of the ma

WORLDS Largest Building Is a Tomb.


Now that the war is over, folks pre-
dict that there will be a big boom in
building. Modern architects have done
wonders, as every one who has seen
the Woolworth building in New York
or the Eiffel tower in Paris will admit,
but human labor has not yet accom-
plished anything which will rival the
ancient pyramids of Egypt.
The priests of Memphis Informed
HerodOtus that the Great Pyramid was
built about 900 years before Christ.
Cheops, king of Egypt, had 100000
men employed 20 years in the building
of it, and laborers in those days didn't
work union hours, either. The tomb OF
Cheops was built in a room beneath
the bottom of the pyramid.

alike. as proposed in my bill. the in dependent packer who does business, according to MT. Armour, at less cost than the big packer. would be able to enter the national field. compe- tition would be restored, the law of supply and demand would be given full play and all three parties to the food .busin ess, the producer, the middleman and the consumer would get a square deal
 The only argument which the packers advance to justify present conditions is the argument of efi- ciency; that if the nations food sup ply is to be properly handled it must be by agencies that are national in their scope. The statement is un- doubtedly correct. If the business of producing and distributing food is to be managed so that unequal condi- tions in different parts of the coun- try are to be avoided, there must be some sort of a controlling agency that will always know all the condi- tions in als parts of the country that affect the business.

In a let ter to me, and I believe also in his testimony, Louis F. Smith said that the packers would gladly sell the stockyards if a purchaser could be found. The same declaration was made by other packers.
 In other words, the packers tell us that the actual work of slaught- ering and preparing meat for the market is done more economically by the small man than the big man and that the big man maintains his supremacy in the national market only because, at a loss to himself, he operates the national features of the business. the great stockyards and the distributing system
