Mr. George F. Henshaw the architect
who designed this interesting home, says:
The designer in arranging this cottage
strove to work in a few features which
are very seldom obtained in a house of this
size and price. The placing OF the inge-
nook in living room adds to the cozy
home!ike appearance Of this room and also
works in very nicely for ARRANGEMENT of
hue as it be carried in chimney with
boiler and kitchen range fues.
French doors opening onto covered YER
anda from both the dining room and living
room all add to the open. airy feeling of
these rooms. There is also direct access
from kitchen to front door, without passing
through main rooms on this floor. 1t is
also arranged to enter from outside and
20 direct to the cellar or by going up four
steps arrive in Kitchen
The second floor consists of three bed
one single with ample closet for each room.
opening of the masters chamber is a large
Sleeping porch. This sleeping porch is
directly over entrance veranda so there is
no expense entaied in filing between
moor beam to prevent cold air from passing
through in winter
There Is room in the attic for play

KIND or POULTRY BEST
on THE GENERAL FARM

The hen, first and last, is the main
dependence for increasing the supply
Of white meat and eggs on farm.
but she requires the aid Of turkeys,
guineas, geese and ducks, just as on
4 dairy farm the COW requires the aid
of sheep, pigs and goats. The setting
of the standard of 100 hens per farm
is safe, but no such arbitrary standard
can be set for the other kinds Of
poultry, say the poultry specialists Of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
The small farm with grain fields of
neighboring farms in proximity to the
barn and dooryard, would perhaps be
better with turkeys. The farm thru
which no stream runs and which has
no large pond would perhaps be bet
ter without ducks. But the circumb
scribed farm on which turkeys would
be a disadvantage, may be supplied
with streams and ponds so that
ducks would be unusually profitable.
and the farm that has no streams or
ponds may have large range for tur-
keys. Each farm family will have to
determine for itself what poultry can
be proftably kept in addition to 100
hens, bearing in mind always that an
adequate number should be kept Of
all the kinds for which free range
can be found.

WOMEN GULL POULTRY
LACkERS-GREAT SAVING

In Missouri last year, 1876 birds
were eliminated from 1893 fiocks,
which were culled under the supervi-
sion Of the home demonstration agents
sent out by the United States Depart
mcnt of Agriculture and the State Ag-
ricultural College. This resulted in n
saving of S50,i6l to their owners.
In another state, 4S6 local leaders
were trained, with the result that 7lT,-
4TS birds were culled. OF this num-
Der, 27l,399 were found to be nom
productive
About 81 per cent Of all the poultry
in the country is cared for by women.
For that reason, special attention Is
given TO poultry by the home clubs,
supervised BY the Department of Agri-
culture and the State Colleges, and
farm women are taught the best
methods of poultry selection, breeding,
raising, feeding, housing, culling, can
ming surplus birds for home use, pre-
seryation of eggs and cooperative
selling of poultry products.
Lack OF proper culling thus far
has proved TO be, in the majority OF
cases, the principal reason why a
fock is not profitable. Forty per
cent of the hens in the average farm
aock today are non-productive, and
should be sold or eaten. II costs
about $500 4 year to feed each hen.
II she does not produce more than
that amount in eggs she is unprofit-

Feei-Grows Wild in Parts Of
Colorado

In the mountain towns Of Colorado
at elevations of about 5000 feet, the
choice Of ornamental trees and shrubs
is rather limited. As is well known,
the American Mountain Ash, with its
attractive foliage and brilliant fruit
is highly prized as lawn ornament
in towns Of moderate elevation. Fair
specimens Of this tree were recently
found growing wild in Northern Colo
RADIO at an elevation exceeding $500
feet, by Prof. w. J. Morrill, of the
State Agricultural College. 1t is sug-
gested that this specimen will be
found hardy and acceptable as an
ornamental large shrub or small tree
in many small mountain towns. In
North Park, at nearly as high an ele-
walton, the Balm Of Gilead is. common-
ly found planted in door yords.

that one man in a lifetime can't absorb
It all, no matter II he has farmed for
one hundred years and gone 10 col

should teach him these things tha.
he has not the timeto figure out for
himself. The agent and the farm
bureau are also his insurance. In case
of pest outbreaks the farmer must
turn to someone who knows wha, TO
do. In these times it no. only takes
knowledge but organizing ability to
control the pests. And who knows

BETTER BUTTER DEMANDED
By Geo. +. Morton, State Dairy
Commissioned

By Geo. f. Morton, State Dairy
Commissioned
To Cream Producers:-Over a quar-.
er Of 4 million dollars is lost to the
dairy business Of Colorado each year
because poor cream produced on SOM
farms is mixed with good cream. W.
believe that a large proportion of ths
sum can be saved II the cream Is
properly graded at cream stations and
creameries. Better butter will resi- .
and a greater demand for COLORADO
products.
We believe that a majority of tn
cream producers consistently strive 20
produce hgh-grade cream. All should
do so. Those that do not should not
be allowed to reduce the quality Of
Colorado butter. Their cream should
be graded second and paid for as such.
A higher price in time should be paid
producers of high-grade cream, as
creameries can market to better ad-
vantage butter made from good cream
Your cream should grade first Do
not be among those who receive les
per pound on account Of delivering
second-grade cream.
To insure having your cream grade
first, you must wash your separator
bowl and all parts thereof after each
skimming. Washing them only once
day will not do at all. Washing
dairy utensils with q rag in luke-warm
water is not satisfactory at all.The
only proper way is to wash them with
luke-warm water with washing pow
der in ii. then scald thoroly with boil
ing water to get rid of the bacteria.
Treat the milk pals in the same way.
A separator that is not washed
after each skimming positively will
not skim effectively. 1t viii not get
all the butter fat.
Lack of attention to the separator
causes much second-grade cream.
Every dairyman is asked to deliver
good cream in order to improve the
quality of Colorado butter and keep
up the price Of cream.

DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN,

Here's one from E. B. Dale, Auto
mobile Instructor at the Agricultural
College. Read it.
This man paid $1,000 for new auto
and allowed no one to run it but him
self-kept it in . waterproof garage
with a cement floor in it. He changed
the oil every 500 miles and never ran
the car faster than Is miles for the
first 1000 miles.
Then this man bought a tractor,
paying $4,000 for it. He hired a
tramp mechanic to run it, paying him
$3.50 per day. When not in use, he
left it out in an old corral behind the
barn. No one ever thought Of chang
ing the oil. The first day he had It,
he took It down to an old alfalfa

they would go, and said: snow step

PROMPT CUTTING OF ALFALFA
MEANS INCREASED HAY YIELD

Field and FARM
Prompt cutting of alfalfa when it is
ready to harvest means an increased
yield of hay to the acre for the sea-
son. Readiness for the sickle is usual
ly judged by the stage Of bloom; the
general rule is that cutting begins
when new shoots appear near the
crown. When these shoots are well
started the standing crop should Be
cut. II cutting is delayed, the sickle
will catch some Of the shoots and
new ones will have to come in their
place which delays the following crop.
After alfalfa begins to bloom it does
not make much further growth To
allow it to stand after that time only
keeps the next crop back without ap-
preciably adding 10 the tonnage OF
the standing crop. Otherwise, a week
or more of good growing time is lost
thru inability or neglect to cut alfalfa
when it is ready. The loss of growing
time when each crop is ready for the
sickle may easily mean the loss Of one
crop in a season. OF corse, it is not
always possible to arrange the work
ON the ranch SO that the alfalfa can
be cut just when it should be. Both
the weather and other work may in
terfere. These conditions are quite
apparent at the present when help is
short.

Otero county has taken out a patent
for a tobacco blend mixture of which
the component parts are sugar beet
pulp and leaf tobacco. Under the
process the pulp is evaporated and
roasted and prepared SO that it can

most agreeable flavor. Mr.. Nelson
has been experimenting with this
mixture for two years and now has
q product that will not burn the
