APPROPRIATE Gardens.

Much that has been said in regard
to the house applies equally well to
the garden. Let Its style be deter
mined by locality. Formal gardens
with neat hedges and direct paths are
more and more appropriate as we APP
proach the conventionalities OF city
life. Leave the picturesque gardens
to spacious, picturesque surroundings.
Winding paths and other features of
the natural garden require to be close
to nature. An orchard is both more
useful and more beautiful in the prox-
unity OF the small house that Is not
far from town. The cost Of main
tenance is least In the orchard garden
with paved paths. Towering shrubs,
and borders of perennials.

Survey Is Made.

The bureau of markets conducted an
extensive survey Of sixty motor routes
to ascertain the defective practices and
as far as possible to suggest improve
ment which would stabilize the indus
try. The bureau found that rural
freight is hauled by the farmer who
owns a truck and handles his personal
marketing as well as that Of his neigh
Dor by motor, by the local truck oper-
ators who haul farm produce as a bust
ness. by the local automobile or truck
agencies that operate transportation
trucks as a side line, by the city trans
fer company which also engages in
rural hauling. and by the large corpor-
alton which operates a fleet Of trucks
over a wide range Of territory. Natur-
ally with such a diversity in the haul
ing agencies. there is a similarly wide
range in their methods Of doing bust
ness.

a profit maker for Its owner. The live
stock are healthier and, In the case of
the dairy farmer. are more productive.
At the same time 1t costs no more to
secure this extra production and the
profits that go with 1t.
With the costs of operating a farm
ms high as they are now and with the
prices Of the foOdstuffs for man and
beast that the farm produces at the
present level. savings In labor and pro-
lection of crops and live stock are
well worth considering. A ton of hay,
a bushel OF wheat or corn, and the
health Of the animals all mean money
nowadays, and are worthy Of being
housed In buildings that will protect
them from weather and rodents.
This is particularly true with regard
to the dairy herd. and the winters
supply of feed for It.. A well-construct-
ed barn is essential to the prosperity
Of every farmer.
In the accompanying illustration is
shown the type of barn that Is popular
in the corn belt, especially in Iowa,
where the farmers are extraordinarily
prosperous. II is a gambrel-roof build
ing. constructed of hollow building
tile. While this kind of a barn costs
more to build than a plank frame build
ing 1t will prove economical in the
long run because 1t is practically in
d~estructible.
The hollow tile Is plastered with ce-
ment up to the window stills. Another
strip is plastered two feet above the
windows, which gives the building a
finished appearance. The gambrel roof
also adds to its appearance and gives
the greatest amount of NOW room.

will be seen by the floor plan, one Sec
