THREE THINGS TO CONSIDER
Vital Points Must Be Studied Before
Work of RemodeIing House Is
Put Under Way.

In the problem of remodeling coun-
try house three elements are vital in
determining the plans: the site, the
surroundings and the amount of
money to be expended. The extent of
the plot of ground, If restricted to a
small area with little likelihood of flu
ture increase by accession, will be an
important factor in deciding the gen
eral changes of the house, as some
types of building require more space,
further distance from the road and
other essentials to bring out their
best lines.
A country house should harmonize
with its surroundings in design, color
and materials. A house standing out
boldly on the top of hill and visible
for miles should differ essentially in
appearance from one nesting in among
the trees mt the edge of the woods,
from house on the banks of lake
or from II villa set back from the viii
lage street. Every natural advantage
from the standpoint of health, view,
light and convenience should be uti-
lized; every disadvantage neutralized.
The amount of money to he expended
is n factor determining the extent and
manner in which the other two vital
elements may be best met and mas
tered

SO far as can be ascertalned in cases

ner. The belief that hogs fed on garb-
age are exposed daily to the danger of
cholera infection Is well founded.
There is always the possibility that
garbage contains scraps of pork, such
as rinds and trimmings from hams
and bacon, or products of cholera car
casses that have been prepared for
markets at small local Strengthening
houses where no inspection Is main

without doubt, will reproduce the dis

susceptible animals besides creating

feeding conditions.

In part other classes of feed can read
lily arrange to cook the garbage thor
oughly before feeding and in this way
eliminate, to a large degree, the dan
ger of cholera infection. IT, however,
large herds are fed on garbage en-
tirely. cooking Is not practicable and
from the feeders point of view 1t Is
not advisable. Therefore, IN all such
cases II Is of the utmost Importance
that the animals be immuniZed and
thus protected from hog cholera; in
fact, owners of such enterprises should
be sure that hogs are permanently i'm
mune before they are placed on such
feed.
Pigs narrowed from immune sows
have a natural resistance to hog chol-
era during their sucking period. When
they are about to lose this degree of
immunity, about weaving time, they
should be given the simultaneous inoc-
ulation (serum and virus). Even with
this method of treatment few In
dividuals may become again suscep-
tible; therefore the herd should be
observed closely at all times and
treated again If any of the animals
show signs of infection.
Considering the income derived from
hogs and the reasonable rates at which
garbage has been obtained the extra
expense of treating the animals must
be viewed as part of business prop
osition. such as insuring against de-
struction by fire or against accidents
of any kind; and feeders of garbage
cannot consider their business as safe
unless they protect 1t against all pos
sible reverses, of which the most seri-

placed as to make them as comfort
able as possible. Little heed Is paid
ms to which way the lot should face
and on which side OF the house certain
rooms should be placed. Careful at
tention to what are considered for the
most part as immaterial points in
building location and design is very
important and results in satisfaction
after the house Is built.
The lot should face either the south
or west and whatever else Is done the
house must suit the grounds on which
1t is built. The dining room is a great
factor worthy of consideration, and
1t should be so planned as to leave
south or east exposure. If so located
it will be warmed by the morning sun
and at other times will be sheltered
from the hot sun. The living room or
library should have south or west ex-
posures. The hail in many instances
may be made into combination recep-
ton room and front hallway. In this
way the living room or library Is Civ
IN more privacy.
Kitchens should be well lighted and
ventilated, while bedrooms are much
more comfortable when they are of
ample size and have windows of suffi-
Gent size to provide light and air.
Bathrooms should be featured by their
cleanableness and lack of ornate trim
mings. Open-work plumbing, thus ex-
posing to view the pipes and giving an
opportunity to clean them, should be
feature of these rooms.
Cellars are factors also needing at

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Though much Is yet to be done to i'm
prove the carrying capacity of the
western range lands and to furnish ia
cilities for increasing the production
from those areas that should always
be used for grazing, and though the
possibilities of sheep raising on cut
over timber lands are very great, neith-
er Of these advances can be made to
contribute so extensively and so quick
ly to market supplies as an increase
Of fiocks on the farms of all parts of
the country. Only one-tenth of all
holdings now classed as farms main
tain sheep. The establishment of flocks
on as many as possible of the other
farms that are suitable for sheep offers
the greatest opportunity for quick re-
suits.
This is not wholly war matter
When peace comes it will still be nee
essary for farmers to accord greater
importance to live stock. The require
ments of the country and the most eco
nOmical use of farm crops and farm
labor call for a much more general
keeping of farm flocks of sheep, en-
tirely aside from the war situation.
The magnitude of such an undertake
ing argues against large results in a
short time, but If the true facts and
prospects can be adequately realized
by farmers, within a space of two
years 1t can be expected that the sup
ply of both wool and meat will be in
creased materially.
An obstacle to any increase in the
number and size of farm flocks is found
in the prevalent idea that wool and
meat prices, after the war, will recede
quickly to low levels and cause loss
to those who have invested in higher
priced stock for breeding purposes.
The statistics of the world supplies

trend of prices prior to the war indl-
cate that we already had entered a
new era with regard to the live stock
industry. While it is not possible to

rapidly, and this will tend to influence
the market for some time to come.
The belief that sheep do not have a
place upon high-priced, highly produc-
tive land also is inapplicable at pres
ent. 1t is true that the development

cheaper, or drier types of land has
prevented and in some cases DESTROYED
the business of sheep raising upon
farms of high productive capacity.
Conditions now are changed. The
sheep today provides profitable
source of meat no less than an income
from the sale of wool.
The large use of forage and pastur-
age and the small use of grain favor
the keeping of a flock on the farm.
Sheep are most profitable and most
healthy when kept upon pasture lands
or used for grazing off such forage
crops as cereal mixtures, rape, cow
peas, etc. Where large grass pastures
are available the forage crops may not
be required, but under common farm
conditions the forage crops will have
part in the best flock husbandrv.
With good roughages, made up in part
of leguminous hays, little grain is need
ed for wintering breeding stock, and IL
ewes do not lamb until they go to pas

If stock is of good breeding and kept
upon good pasturage. The lamb car
cass requires less fat to render 1t suit
able for the table than is necessary In
any other class of meat This fact
particularly adapts sheep raising to sec
lions that are not adapted to produc-
ton of grains but can furnish good pas
turage and forage crops. 1t also en-
ables the flock to produce a cash re-
turn from forage crops and other graz
ing included In a diversified plan of
cropping. The rapidity with which
lambs attain marketable weight insures
very quick returns at a low cost.
The comparatively small amount of
labor required in caring for sheep is
another argument In favor of the farm
flock.

OF the stream of water in the one or

But the actual volume of water that

CURVES MADE FOR BEAUTY
Well to Follow Nature in Avoidance of
the Straight Line When 1t
Is Possible.

In avoiding straight lines we must
not go so far as to violate what COM
mon sense dictates. 1t is not expect
ed that a path 20 feet long running
from the public sidewalk to the front
door is capable of many or, in fact,
any curves. The shortness of the dis
tance precludes the possibility of
these and straight lines must prevail.
On place of greater extent or where
the house is situated farther from the
public highway the need of curves is
indicated for if one having no path
way marked out should carelessly
walk from the street back to the front
door over a freshly raked soil surface
looking backward he would discover
that he had made a line composed of
very faint yet beautiful curves, and
this line might properly be uti-
LIKED for outlining the subsequent
path. The one thing to avoid in paths
of this kind is abruptness. 1t will be
noted that the course of a river con-
sists of broad, graceful sweeps, and
wherever abruptness occurs a short
curve may be forced by the water
leaving a rocky bank or some other
natural impeachment. We should make
oCr abrupt curves appear equally nee
cessary by planting a shrub, tree or
some other natural impeachment. We
force them from line of travel other
wise necessarily straight or nearly so.
