PROVISIONING THE FARMERS"
Suppose the government does buy
the 1919 wheat crop which it asked
the farmers to raise, at $226 per Du-
shell and loses money on the deal,
will that be an injustice to any one?
The government is planning to give
vast sums to the soldiers. 1T gave
vast sums to the ship builders, the
munitions makers. the ship owners
and to the railroads. Why should the
farmer be denied this pension II you
want to call it that, for the important
part he played in winning the war!
Food will win the war" was the
slogan used everywhere and we all
know that the farmers produced the
food.

to suit the ideas of the person who
wishes to build a home The exterior
can be finished with face brick, or the
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 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 n home
that should not be done hurriedly. II
should be remembered that the home
builder expects to live in the house
for 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-
tractor and material dealer will help
the prospective builder. BY expert
ence and education these building
specialists know what to avoid.
The first step in building a home is
securing lot on which to build II.
Here again caution should be exercised
in determining the character of the
neighborhood. the probability of its
growing or deteriorating, and Its prox-
unity to schools, ETC. Appreciation OF
the property makes home owning a
good investment. irrespective of the
comforts that come with a home, be-
cause there always is the possibility
that the owner may want to sell, for
some reason or other.
But after considering all Of these
points, the man who uses care viii
never regret that he built a home Of
his own.

/ Spanish viceroys waged war on the
other colonies. In Upper Peru, or
what is now Bolivia, however, there
was a strong antagonism To the royal
authority which spread gradually to
the other parts of viceroyaty and
rendered the Spanish supremacy pre-
carluus. In 1921 this Peruvian move
nent had gained such strength That
an assembly Of Peruvians declared
independence, though the viceroy sill

birth of old ones, Finland seems to

never has been before since the thir-
teenth century, when the Firms were

Swedes. For over hundred years Fin

unique civilization of its own.

The great army of home builders
this year are turning more and more
to originality in the 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
Wesent-day home sacrifice neither
beauty to convenience, nor convenience
to beauty.
An example of this process of archi-
tectural selection is shown in the nc
companying 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
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.

Stage Feeding Pays.

Statistics show that the percentage
Of profitable herds is almost three
times as high among herds that are
fed on silage as among herds that are
not fed silage.
While there may be some possible
question as to the economy of putting
up silos under extreme high prices,
there can be no question about the
economy of filling to capacity those
that are already up.
Every man who has a silo should
aim not only to put up enough silage
TO carry his herd through the winter
but to have some for summer feeding,
ut least in case of emergency.
Even in the best of pasture regions.
cows frequently drop 20 to 80 per cent
In production--even more sometimes
In midsummer when drought cuts the
pastures short.
When the rains come later, these cat
tie do not return to 100 per cent pro-
duction.

The summer silo. 70 give the most
