BRICK HAS MANY ADVANTAGES
Material Declared by Eastern journal
to Be Best for Construction
of Ideal Home.

Convincing beauty is not n matter
of money. Perfect taste and the per-
feet material can be put into a $4,000
or $1,000 home as well as into the mil
lionaire's palace. Is there anyone who
has not been fortunate enough to see,
at some time in his life, 4 little brick
house that appealed to him as being
all that it should be, an ideal compan-
ion for the trees and the grass and
the hills around-a little house that
cost no more than the most expensive
mansion?
Brick is the material that succeeds,
as none other can, in adapting itself
to the wants of the nan with good
taste and a moderate income. In the
house built on a proper plan, 1t sug-
gests all the qualities that should be
associated with the word home-per-
'uanency, hospitality, warmth, comfort,
Jeauty. And brick has that rare and
wonderful characteristic which is said
to distinguish the elect among woman
kind-it grows old beautifully.
Time is powerless to mar the beauty
or to sap the strength of brick. Cen
erations may come and so, but the
sturdy brick walls of the homestead
stay on. Brick may reach n venerable
old age-it never reaches the state of
decrepitude.-New York Sun.

ENTRANCE ROADS FOR FARMS
Engineers of Bureau of Public Roads
Give Advice on Application of
Bituminous Material.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Owners of large farms and rural
estates seeking a more satisfactory
type of entrance road have applied
to the bureau of public roads of the
United States department of agricul-
ture for advice regarding the applica-
ton of bituminous material on main
entrance and much-traveled farm
lanes.
The bureaus engineers point out
that such applications may be made
successfully on any farm road which
has already been constructed of stone.
gravel, or other similar material, and
is in a thoroughly compacted and rea-
sonably smooth condition. A coal-tar
preparation applied cold, or an asphalt
tic oil, can be used and If applied by
the farm employees, the cost should
not exceed seven or eight cents a
square yard for materials. The COM
pacted gravel or stone road should be
thoroughly cleaned of dust and the
bitumen applied with ordinary sprink-
ling pots from which the perforated
nozzle has been removed and the spout

PROTECTION FOR DAIRY cow
Exposure to Cold Rains Is Often More
Injurious Than Colder Weather
OF Winter.

The dairy COW often suffers the most
from exposure to the weather be-
fore real winter has begun. After
steady cold comes the COW is gen.
orally stabbed. Exposure to cold rains
In November is often more Injurious
to the animal han the colder but dry
weather later in the winter.
The dairy COW Is not like the fat
steer, protected from cold by a layer
of fat. AS a result bad weather
causes a big drop in milk production.
So long as the weather is dry 1t is
just as well to leave the COW outside
nights, but every cold rain should find
her protected.
The main thing is to have tight
walls so there is no draft or wind and
a good roof. Care should be taken In
arranging the stalls in the form of
a platform of the right length and a
gutter of sufficient depth to hold the
manure. The cleanliness of the milk
depends TO a considerable extent upon
having the barn built so the COW will
keep herself clean.-Clemson College
Bulletin.

WORK FOR HOME BEAUTIFUL"
Government Demonstration Agents
Give Advice Concerning Pretty
and Convenient Dwellings.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
1t does not cost any more to build
a house which will be pretty and con-
venient than it does to erect n homely
and inconvenlent dwelling, the home
demonstration agents are telling the
people in their territories. The state
agricultural colleges and the United
States department of agriculture are
backing up this ''home beautiful"
movement. In some states the wOrk is
yet in the lecture stage and in others
demonstration homes are being erect
ed which are to serve as good ex-
amples of architecture in that COM
munity.
Such a home was built last summer
in Talladega county, Ala. Not only its
plans, but its decoration and land
scape setting as well. have been made
according to the designs of the govern
ment experts. 1t is up-to-date in every
detail, but strict economy has been
used in the plans. Beauty of line and

TESTS SHOW GERMS IN MILK
Multiplication of Bacteria Causes
Rapid Deterioration-vaIue
for Food Lessened.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Extensive experiments conducted
at the government farm, Beltsville,
Md, show that milk drawn into a
sterile pail from dirty cows contained
an average of 32,677 bacteria per cubic
centimeter, while milk drawn from
clean cows whose udders and teats
were washed Immediately previous to
milking had a content of only 4,947
germs per cubic centimeter. These
tests were made Immediately after
milking. Naturally on standing the
milk with the greatest number of bac-
terra would deteriorate most rapidly.
due to the multiplication of the germs.
Accordingly its value as q human food
product would be greatly reduced,
while its introduction on the city mar
ket would be carefully ~scrutinized,
and in some cases punished by the
health authorities.
Pride should cause every dairyman
to maintain his cows in an attractive,
clearly and sanitary condition every
day in the year. In q way the appear
ance of the COW is an accurate meas
ure of the owner. In the same degree
that neglected fences, overrun fence
rows, tumbledown buildings and I'M
housed machinery typify the shiftless,
ne'er-do-well farmer, dairy cows which
are dirty indicate the milk farmer
who does MT safeguard consumers
against contaminated milk.
