Nothing will add to the family meals or lessen the grocer bill qulck- CT than a well-pIanned and well-kept home garden states J. 5. Knox, nor tlculturlst of the Agricultural Elk tension Division, University of Afk- ansas. There are hundreds Of small vacant lots Ill the towns and cities or Arkansas which, if properly cleaned, tertlllzea and cultivated could Ioe made to produce large quanuLleS or vegetables. -
 These plots should be cleaned ana fertilized now so that planting may oe started right away. All woods, prasses and remains of last year vegetation should be faked off ana burned This will lessen the chances of disease or insect pests Of tnls year says MT. Knox.
 Vegetables require fertile soil for their growth and well-rotted stable manure is the best fertilizer that can be used. This should be broadcast ed at the rate of 50 to 40 tons per acre and spaded into the soil, at depth of to incf1es-12 inches would bebetter if the soil IS not too shallow. In case. it IS not possible to get stable manure, equal parts of i cotton seed meal and acid phosphate at the rate of 1500 pounds per arce may be used according to Mir. Knox
 Use Good Seeds.
 Thorough preparation is essential 1 for success in garden work, and one cannot be too particular aDout pull verifying the soil it is stated. fine see dcannot mean good stand Of plants without which 1t is not pos. sible to get the greatest yield.
 It is now time to plant cabbage. l lettuce. onions, peas, radishes, mus tard, carrots, turnips and potatoes and some of these should have been planted even before this time. In planning a smal city garden, 1t is better to plant but three or four veg etables than to plant dozen diff ferent kinds Enough onions, mus tard, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, toma- toes, etc, can ibe grown on very small plot of ground to supply good sized family
 Rake Over Crust.
 In case of heavy rains just after the planting of small seeds, take q garden rake and carefully break the crust over the rows, instructs MT. Knox Be careful in doing this not to injure the seeds which may be ger- erminating After the plants are up see that all weeds and grasses are kept from the soil 'by frequent cul- tivation. Every gardener should have a small garden cultivator. The cultivator can be pushed by hand and by using frequently, the garden caa be kept in excellent condition.
 No work should be done in the gar den early in the morning while dew is on the plants or immediately after rains as disease germs spread much more readily when the plants arc moist than when they are dry.
 As soon as one vegetable has beer removed from the soil, plant anoth. CT to take it's place and in this way kep the gardenworking for as long as possible each year.

 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 Is, without doubt. the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie avenue, Chicago, Ill.,, and only enclose three-cent stamp for reply.
 In spring young mans fancy may turn to thoughts of love, but to the man of family, after a winter of more or less discomfort in his old house, barren of many of the modern con- veniences, thoughts of new home are more expressing. During the win- ter evenings that new home that has been in contemplation for several whole family and many ideas of what that home should be, both as to ex- terior appearance and interior ar rangement and of what materials il should be built, have been advanced
 However, the head of the family the man who provides the money for the new home-is the man who has the last say. To him there en ters the idea of practicability, cou pied with cost. He is in favor ot the new house; in fact, has decided to build, but to him there are things of greater importance than nook here and an angle there. There is
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1919-04-06

The house contains ten rooms and bath six bedrooms providing sleep ing accommodations for at least that many persons. Five of the bedrooms are on the second floor and one on the first floor.
 The front entrance door opens into a hall 4 by ID feet. To the left is the front stairway, and at the right through double glazed doors IS the living room. Being the gathering place of the family this room is large. IT by 13 feet. At one end is an open fireplace with spaces for built-in bookcases on either side.
 The dining room is immediately back of the living room through an open double doorway. This room is IA by 13 feet, but it's straight lines are broken by the bay window, which forms an alcove by 9 feet, provid- ing a place for either a long wall seat, or flowers.
 Many Coaveniences in Kitchen.
 Connecting with the dining room is the kitchen, 1o1a by 13 feet. Here every convenience is provided for. Beside the door leading to the dining room is the sink. Adjoining it and running around the full length of the outside wall and part of the rear wall is work table. On either side of the window is a wall case. Thus does the kitchen worker have every thing needed at hand. Off the kitch- en, at the rear, is large pantry also equipped with work table and shelves. Here is located the ice chest with an opening to the back porch from which it may be iced.
 Another door from the kitchen leads to the rear hall. Here are the back stairs, toilet, and washroom, ! with plumbing fixtures. The entrance to the washroom is from the back porch, 111a by feet.
 Thus it will be seen that a person ! can come in at the rear door, wash and go either upstairs, or to the dining room without passing through the kitchen, which in many houses in fact most farm houses, is com bined kitchen and passageway. Al the end of this back hall toward the front of the house is a bedroom, 101z by 10 feet.
 ! The front stairs lead to hallway, which extends to the center of the

the question of how he can get a good, substantial, comfortable and convenient home for his family, if he be city man. or his family and the hired help, if he be a farmer, for the amount of money he has avail. able for the house.
 To such a man, the house shown in the accompanying illustration will appeal. For here is combined all of the things that practical city or town man or farmer wants in his home-cOnvenience in arrangement of rooms. provision for the things that will make the work of the shouse- keeper easier, and a house that ex. ternally will compare with the best of them in that conmunity.
 Cutting the Corners.
 Boomers cost" is an axiom among contractors and builders. The straighter the walls. the less expen- sive the building. The house shown herewith is substantial building with no frills, and at the same time is good to look at.
 The bare building is 26 by fl feet, dimensions that are suitable for a narrow lot. As will be seen by the illustration the foundation and porch walls and columns are of brick, while the house is of clap-board and shingle construction.
 The large porch, 22 by feet, the hip roof, and the bay window at the side relieve the straight lines of the building and make it an attractive home from the exterior. The size of the porch. p by feet, makes it comfortable sitting place in the summer.

ho2se and then to the back. At the front are two bedrooms, one 10 by 91s feet, the other 10h by 13 feet. The two bedrooms in the center of the house are 1Oh by 13 feet and 101a by 10 feet. The rear bedroom is 1O11 feet square.
 At the head of the rear stairs is the bathroom and toilet, two separate rooms. The former is exceptionally large and provides a dressing as we'll as a bath room.
 Closets Are Numerous. Closets are numerous in this house. Downstairs there is large coat closet at the end of the front entrance hall. There are two more closets in the tirst-foor bedroom. Each room upstairs also has a closet.
 This is a substantial homo that will appeal especially to the farmer who is considering building a new house. There are no frills about it., yet 1t is an attractive appearing house and one in which all the modern farm conveniences, running hot and cold water. electric light and sewage sys- tenn can be installed. As the mod ern farm now has power, pumping and electric system, the cost of put ting these conveniences In the house will be small, but they will add much to keeping the boy and girl on the farm and making the work in the house as easy as it now is in the moderniy equipped barn.
 A consultation with the local build CT and lumber and material dealer will soon disclose the cost of such a home, either in town or on the farm.

Experimenting
Made Successful
The TranS-At-
lantic Flight

A thrill of joy swept over this
country when the announcement was
made that Hawker and Grieve, those
intrepid aviators who tried to fly over
the Atlantic and were forced to de-
scend to the water, had been rescued
We honored those men because they
attempted to do a great thing, and we
regret that their bravery was not re-
warder with complete success.
And again we rejoice when we learn
that our own American aviators have
crossed the Atlantic in seaplane and
have arrived safely on the other side.
This marks new era in air flights,
and America receives the credit for
having been the first actually to make
the trip.
Many will say, but what is the use?
These men were detained days by
bad weather. Other machines failed
to make the trip. and what good has
been accomplished by their trip?
i ought to be remembered about
every great invention has been ac-
complished only after repeated fail
ures, that great discoveries have been
made by certain men after other men
had failed, and that out of the great
inventions and great discoveries have
come splendid benefits for mankind
When the Wright Brothers were ex.
perimenting with their flying ma.
chimes, they learned something from
each trip, When they succeeded in
raising a heavier than air machine In.
to the air. they rejoiced. When they
made straight away fight of hun
dred yards, they were encouraged,
and when the day came that they dis.
covered that flying machine could
be turned In the air they believed that
believed that at last they had solved
the problem of fiying-and they had.
But it was the constant experiment
ing, the constant trying that finally
brough the airplanes to its present
perfection.
So with this transatlantic trip.
What has been learned through the
experiment will enable other men to
make the long fight much more east.
ly and, by and by, and in very short |
time, the difficulties of ocean flight
will be overcome, just as the first
problems have been satisfactorily |
solved That is the value Of this first
trip and that is what will call for
more.
In time, and in short time, we
may expect that cross.the-Atlantic |
trips will be made with regularity and
with no more danger than now attend
the cruises of sailing vessels over the
same waters.-Miami Herald.
