placed to correspond with the one in
the living room. Each bedroom has
a good-sized closet. while at the rear
of the hall is a fifth closet with
linen chute, through which dirty
clothes are carried to the laundry in
the basement.
The basement extends under the
whole house and is partitioned so as
to separate the heating plant and fuel
supply from the balance Of the space,
which is used for laundry purposes
and for storage. The room set aside
for the storage of fruit, vegetables
and canned goods also is partitioned
off, so that 1t may be kept cool in
winter.
Another feature that will impress
the prospective builder should he be
an automobile owner is the garage of
the same architectural design as the
house. The garage also is Of brick
set on a concrete foundation and has
a concrete floor. This sort Of build
ing provides the automobile owner
with a safe. comfortable and conven-
lent place to store his car and to wash
and to make ordinary repairs.
Taken all together this design is an
unusually good one. 1t Is a modern
home In every respect; 1t is attractive
from the exterior; 1t has garage
that goes with the home: and. best
of all, the rooms are 50 arranged that
the work of caring for the house win
fall lightly on the shoulders Of the

Grated are so great that undoubtedly

per cent of the medium steer The
miscellaneous cuts In the good steer
aggregate 10 per cent and only IL

figures indicate that the good steer
carries greater percentage Of the
high-priced cuts and a lower percent
age of the medium-priced and cheap
cuts than does the medium steer, al
though the animals may be fed SIM
liar ratiOns. This divergence in meat
makeup at market time must be at
tributed to breeding.
Two shipments of steers which re-
Gently arrived on one of the large CEN
trail markets also are of interest in dis
closing the breeding facts. One lot Of
good steers weighed, on an average,
1,1S6 pounds and sold at $3.50 a hun
dredwelght, their dressing percentage
averaging 81 per cent. These steers
carried 81 per cent of inside fat while
their cost per pound, dressed and
ready for sale to the consumer, was
221a cents. The medium lot of steers
averaged in weight 936 pounds and
sold at $3.50. These cattle dressed
81 per cent, carried per cent of inside
fat and cost % cents a pound when
dressed and ready for consumption.
Subsequently the meat from the good
steers sold for l cent pound more
than that from the medium steers,
which resulted in an increased profit to
the butcher Of approximately half
cent pound, despite the fact that the
good steers cost originally 2 cents
pound more than the medium steers.
Furthermore, the inside fat was worth
considerably more in the good steers
than it was in their lower quality
mates. The weIl-bred lot of cattle sold
for an average of S1S1. 46 apiece, while
the poorer steers brought only $12S,OS
an animal, difference of $53.3S head
in favor of the better bred cattle.
Every Farmers Opportunity.
There is no possible reason why
farmers and stockmen should waste
their time and tie up and jeopardize
their capital in the purchase and feed
ing or breeding of inferior stock. The
supremacy of the better-bred animals
is practically infalllble. They, other
conditions being equal, will yield de-

as the coming of day after night of

Brick is an exceedingly popular ma
terial with home builders. This is es-
peclally true in the larger cities where
as a means Of fire prevention there
are restrictions on the materials that
can be used in the exterior walls.
There is no place, however, where
brick is barred, and some exception
ally fine looking houses Of this ma
terlal can be found everywhere.
Great Improvement 'has been made
in the last dozen years In the appear
ance of brick that is used in the ex-
terror walls-face brick, they are call
ed. For many years face brick was
used in the front of building, but
recently by laying up one part of the
wall with face brick exposed some
very handsome homes have been built.
The house shown in the accompany
ing illustration has backing walls of
common brick, and q veneer or outside
wall of rough-faced brick. The differ
emf colors that are contained I'm these

most attractive.
The exceptional feature of this
house, however, is the manner in
which it was designed to save cost of
construction. 1t will be noted on the
floor plan that accompanies the view

Purebred aristocracy is not nearly ex-
tensive enough in the United States
and, with view TO extending the kith
and kin of the first families widely
over the country, the United States de-
partment of agriculture is launching
its drive for better live stock, which
was inaugurated October l.
Purebreds for Profits.
Purebred live stock is not the result
of foible and fancy of the rich, for the
leading foundation families Of the varl-
Gus breeds, for the most part, have
been produced and developed by prae-
teal farmers who farmed for living
in either the old or the new world.
For example, Hugh Watson, the
founder of the Aberdeen Angus, was a
tenant farmer; Charles and Robert
Ceilings, who sponsored the Shorthorn
breed, were English countrymen of
medium finances, while the Tomkins
and the Hewers, who were fosterers
of the Whiteface in Herefordshire,
England, were merely working to pro
duce beef animals Of superior type
which would fatten more quickly and
cheaper than their predecessors. In
word, purebred live stock from hogs,
cattle, sheep, horses and dairy cows
to goats and poultry, have all been de-
veloped for specific purposes, which
are intimately associated with the
stock farmers needs and require
ments.
Uncle Sans big drive for better live
stock similarly is campaign to pro-
vide for direct and urgent needs.
Farmers with surplus feed should de-
sire live stock of the best type which
will most profitably and economically
convert these grain and forage sur
pluses into meat, milk, wool, mohair,
and eggs. Eliminating the scrub and
mongrel animal. live stock of mo ac-
count" family or breeding is one of the
greatest improvement steps which
possibly could be undertaken by the
live stock breeding and raising frater-
nifty of this country. Uncle Sam Is en-
Enthusiastically behind the project and it
remains for farmers interested in
stock raising throughout the country
not only to boost for better stock, but
also to buy and use farm animals Of
approved type and breeding, in order

Paper, as substitute for linen, Is
making Itself valuable to the house
wife and to the managers Of tea rooms
and cafes. Not so much In the former
case as a matter of economizing in
linen, as economizing in labor. Nap
kins, tray cloths, dollles and center
pieces of linen are so cleverly made of
paper that they are proving altogether
satisfactory substitutes for II, except
upon occasions Of more or less formal
ity. Napkins, once used, are thrown
away. Centerpieces. tray cloths and
doilies of paper can be used until
soiled. They are prettily made, very
cheap and eliminate laundering. Be

Besides these paper furnishings for
the table, paper decorations for house

fad for lamp and candle shades of
parchment paper. These are hand
painted and do not suffer by compar-
ison with silk or glass shades but are
far less expensive. Besides they allow
variety-when they finally become
solled there is no great loss in destroy
ing them and providing new ones.
