Coupled with this good interior is an
exceptionally attractive exterior. While
the roofs of this bungalow. on both
the house itself and over the porch,
would come under the general term
of a gable, there is wide overhang
that is usually called a "hip" roof,
which makes the roof lines exceeding
ly graceful. The sides of the house
are of shingles, and with the lattice
work that is alongside the small
porches are attractive.
This is only one of the many de-
signs for frame bungalows that hare
been drawn by architects and from
which thousands of homes have been
built. But 1t Is an excellent exam
pie of this style of architecture, and is
home that every builder will find
most satisfactory, both in appearance
and In interior arrangement.
While everyone knows, especially If
he is considering a BODYBUILDING prof.
ect for the coming season, that there
will be an immense amount of house

it may be well to sound warning.
That warning is that If the home is
wanted during the season, the time to
select the design and let the contract
for the house is now. If the home
builder delays until spring, he will find
it difficult to secure the services of a
first-class contractor and may expert
ence trouble in securing the needed
materials. Disappointment will be
avoided If the BODYBUILDING plans are
made as quickly as possible.

CONSERVING VALUABLE SOIL
Each County in Iowa Loses Annually
Six Inches of Soil From Top of
LOO Acres of Land.

Problem for the class in intermedi-
ate arithmetic: Find the number of
cubic feet in the top six inches of soil
from 10000 acres of land.
That sounds sufficiently unrelated to
common experience to be problem in
the old-time school arithmetic, but, as
a matter of fact, it is what Iowa has
been losing every year in the water
that flows over it's fields. Specialists
of the United States department of az
riculture, who have worked in various
sections of Iowa during the past sew
eral months. estimate that each coun-
ty in Iowa-and there are an even
hundred of then-lOses annually six
inches of soil from the top of LOO
acres of land Henceforth, these spe-
cialists think, not so much good soil
will be washed away. The recent high
prices of Iowa farm lands. injurious
In some particulars, has been benefi-
cial in causing Iowa farmers to realize
that they cannot afford to permit such
valuable stuff as dirt to be carried
away in rain water.

Timber In South Africa.

As the importance OF providing q
future supply of timber begins to be
appreciated, 1t is interesting to note
that Il. J. Laschinger, past president OF
the South African Institution of En-
gineers, points to South Africa as one
of the worlds best fields for timber
growing. The work must be done on
large scale by the government, as
individuals cannot wait for the re-
turns, and his observation has been
that the various kinds Of pine are the
trees most suitable. The variable
winds exert such a twisting upon
growing trees that stralght-grained
timber Of certain kinds is difficult to
obtain. Pine seems to withstand the
comforting influence more effectively
than other kinds, and very fine.
straight-gralned timber Of this sort Is
produced. AS great advantage to
the country, the planting Of many pine
forests from the equator down to the
Cape Is urged.

developed the habit of raiding flocks

Bridge grating, the use of scions
or smalr limbs to connect the cambium
above and below a large wound or
girdled strip, may be practiced sue
cessfully on almost any kind of fruit
tree that can be propagated readily
by grating. Trees girdled by mice or
rabbits, suffering from mechanical In.
juries, or from blight or other dis
ease, can be saved In many cases by
bridge grating. The method also is
useful when large areas of bark have
been killed by sun scald and other in
juries.
Effective Grating.
To be effective, bridge grating
should be done in the spring before
growth starts, though sometimes it
can be done after growth starts If
dormant scions for the purpose can
be secured
Prepare the wound in the tree by
cutting away all dead tissue and thor
oughly cleansing the injured parts. If
possible, steriliZe by washing with a
solution of bichloride of mercury. cop
per sulphate, or some other antiseptic.
The irregular edges of the bark above
the girdle tract or wound should be
cut back into an even edge, far enough
from the wound to make certain that
healthy cambium is under the bark.
For the grating, select scions from
wood of the previous seasons growth,
either branches which grew the pre-
ceding season or water sprouts that
are only a year old. The scions should
be little longer than the space which
Is to be bridged, so they will arch
slightly over the central part of the
wound.
Bevel the scions at each end on the
same side of the scion with long
sloping cut so that the wedge-shaped
ends thus formed will be relatively
thin and permit their being thrust
well under the bark without danger of
separating 1T unduly from the cam
blum at the points of insertion. The
placing of the scions will be facilitat-
ed if the bark at the margins of the
wound is slit for short distance at
the points where the ends are to be
inserted.
Importance of Uniting Cambium.
In placing the scions it is of the
greatest Importance that the cambium
of the scions which Is exposed in the
sloping cuts at the ends be brought
into intimate contact with the CAM
blum that lies under the bark at the
margins of the wounded area. The
union of scion and tree can occur only
where the cambium layers of the two
come together. The scions may be
secured in their proper positions, If
need be, by driving a small nail
through each end into the trunk. This
will aid in drawing the cambium OF
scion and trunk closely together.
The operation is completed by thor
