ELIMINATE WASTE OF Time
Necessary to Lay Out Fields So That
High-cIass Job Can Be Done
Short Turns Are Awkward
Advantages Summarized.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultare.)
Flowing with tractors presents some
problems that never bother the man
who uses horse-drawn implements. 1t
is necessary TO lay out fields, so that
a high-class Job of blowing can be done
over the entire area with the minimum
use of a horse-drawn pillow In start
Ing and finishing the work. The meth
DDS in general use are divided into
two classes--thOse in which the plOws
are elevated and no blowing is done
across the ends, and those in which
the plows are left in the ground con-
t%inuously. In most cases better plow-
ing can be done when the plows are
idle across the ends of the fields, and
for this reason the methods of this
class are more popular, but many
farmers prefer the other methods, as
they eliminate waste of time and la
Dor.
Plowmen using tractors wish to re-
duce to a minimum the time spent
ir running with plows out Of the
ground. While it is necessary to do
some travelling while the plows are
Idle, care should be taken not to do
too much Of it. as 1t reduces the num-
Der of acres which can be plowed In
a day, making the tractor that much
less efficient. Short turns. however. are
awkward for most tractors, and where
such turns are necessary the operator
often has more Vor less difficulty In
getting the outfit in the correct posi-
ton for starting into the new furrow
at the right point. Some tractors turn
more easily in one direction than 9TH
ers, and this should be taken into con-
sideration in laying out the fields.
Advantages Summarized.
The advantages of blowing by the
methods in which the plows are idle
across the ends Of the fields are that
the short, awkward turns are elm
mated, except in some cases at the be-
ginning and ends Of the lands, and
usually less spaces will be left at the
corners to be plowed with horses. The
advantage of the other methods are

house built OF brick or hollow-clay tile
and stucco applied. There is much to
be said in favor of brick or tile con-
struction. the principal thing being
that both provide a home that is warm
er In winter and cooler in summer, al
though the cost is a little more. At
any rate a consultation with the local
architect, contractor and material
dealer, will be of great assistance to
the home builder in determining the
materials TO be used and the cost OF
the home.
One Of the delights of home build
ing is the selection of the exterior
design and the interior arrangement.
This is a phase of securing a home
that should not be done hurried,y. 1t
should be remembered that the home
builder expects to live In the house
for a great many years. consequently
the selection of the design is impor-
tant. because care will eliminate much
disappointment. Here Is where the
services and advice of architect. con-

the prospective builder. BY expert
ence and education these building
specialists know what to avoid.

BY WILLIAM 4: RAoFoRp.

The great army Of home builders
this year are turning more and more
to originality In che designs for the
homes that they are erecting. Designs
for modern homes are the results of
the architectural experience of this
and past generations. From the homes
that were designed in various periods,
the best has been selected and the
balance discarded. Thus does the
present-day home sacrifice neither
beauty to convenience, o convenience
to beauty.
An example of this process of archi.
tectural selection is shown In the ac-
companylng design. Here has been
combined the exterior beauty of the
old English style Of architecture with
modern room arrangement and mod
ern construction methods and mate
rails.
81 This old English stucco house Of six
rooms is what might be termed a
beauty" Its exterior appearance is
out of the ordinary. while the room
arrangement and the conveniences in
stalled In them are of the type that
appeal to the modern home builder.

preferable to pillow up to the fence on
the two sides as the body of the field
Is being plowed, and leave the head
land only across the end OF the field
which is fenced. The width of the
headIand will depend largely on the
turning radius Of the tractor. With
easily handled outfits 1t is not neces-
sary to leave more than Is or 20 feet.
Careful Flowing Saves Time.
If the field is to be finished up In
the best manner, with no irregular, un-
plowed strips between the land or at
the edges. 1t is essential that care be
taken to have the headland of the
same width clear around the field, to
have the distances measured exactly
when starting new lands, and to have
the first burrows as nearly straight as
possible. A little extra time taken In
measuring or the necessary distances
and setting plenty of stakes for guild
ance will nearly always be more than
returned In saving time at the finish.

plows, cutting a total width of three or
more feet. some effort should be made
