Tomb of SaIadin.

In the ancient Syrian city of Da-
mascus lies one of the great figures of
the middle ages-Saladin, the pagan
cavalier and warrior. Damascus had
been the capital of this Moslem chief.
There he died and there many years
later fitting tomb was erected by his
followers and orders were given that
prayer for his soul be made continu-
ally as signal mark of honor.
The Moslem leaders tomb lies in a
quiet, shut-in corner Of Damascus, in
the shadow of great mosque. With
in the little temple is the marble sar.
cophagus of Saladin and by his side
another, said by some to contain the
body of his son.

Pl9bIgl|'WNNNES

Cleanliness is an enemy of disease.
Feed fowls well but better have
them a little hungry than overfed.
Charred corn occasionally makes a
good feed, especially in cold weather,
The hen that caclSles loudest and
longest doesn't always lay the most
eggs.
Poultry soon become accustomed TO
regular hours of feeding. Don't dis
appoint them.
Pullets and cockerels should be at
least nine months old before they are
used for breeding purposes.
While ducks require plenty of water
in the daytime, they should be pro
vided with dry quarters at night. Nc
other fowls are more quickly injured
by dampness.
One objection to using very mucl
sloppy food is that it often leads t,
filth and unsanitary conditions.
An incubator often gets lots O
blame that should be attached to tn
operator. When q machine is operate
wrong the matches will go wrong.
The selection Of breeding hens /
the best way to develop the size an
color of the eggs. Each year thos
that come nearest to laying the kin
of eggs wanted should be retained fo
the next seasons breeding pens.

SELL DIRECT TO CONSUMERS
Good Possibilities offered to Farmer
Having Farm Produce to
Dispose OF.

Making a personal canvass among
city persons and soliciting their trade
offers good possibilities for one hav-
ing farm produce to sell to obtain
regular customers. Success will de-
rend largely on the personality of the
person making the canvass, according
90 the United States Department of
Agriculture. II may be necessary, also,
90 solicit n large number of families
in order to obtain few customers.
Various other methods of obtaining
customers have been tried. Whatever
the method used, it usually requires
painstaking work and considerable Of
fort to get number of reliable GUS
toners.
Consumers often have difficulty In
getting in touch with reliable produc
ers. As many farmers will not mar,
ket direct, IL is necessary to seek pro
ducers In localities without q good
market for farm produce.

erage home builder. 1t is frame
bungalow, with the exterior Fells
succeed and made to look moro sub
stantial by the use Of face brick for
the sun parlor pillars.
Irregular in shape this home looks
a great deal larger than it really Is.
This irregularity, too, makes the ex-
terror one of the most attractive.
By studying the exterior view and
the floor plan. which accompanies 1t,
the reader will get an idea of what
an artistic home design this is. The
entrance is near the center of the
house, the end to the right being de-
voted to a large living room, 13 feet
inches by % feet, with an enclosed
sun parlor, or living porch adjoining
it. The latter is almost as long as
the living room, and slightly more than
half as wide. In the other part Of
the house are dining room, kitchen,
two bedrooms and bathroom.
This arrangement makes both the
living and dining rooms light and
CHEEKY rooms. The latter is on the
| front of the house and is 13 feet
inches, by 16 feet. Adjoining is the
kitchen, II feet inches by II feet.
Back of the dining room is a short
hall, at the end of which is the bath
room. Opening off the hall are two
bedrooms, one, corner room, being
of an exceptionally large size, II feet
9 inches by 20 feet. The other, at the
end of the hall, is II feet 6 inches
by - feet inches.
This brief description gives a good
idea of the interior arrangement of
this bungalow and calls attention to
the good size of the various rooms.
And yet the whole house is only 81
feet long and 80 feet wide.
Indicated on the plan are number
of good features. In the living room
is an open fireplace, while the large
square bay window adds to the attrac'
tiveness of the dining room. Closets
also, are numerous, there being one in
the entrance hall, and large one IN
each of the bedrooms.
While they are not shown on the
plan, the attic is high enough to per
nit the finishing off Of at least two
additional sleeping rooms on the sec

Home building now is in full swing.
The chug-chug of the concrete mixer !;
as it mixes the materials for the foun-
dation walls, and the staccato noise
of the carpenters hammers on the
nails are heard throughout the coun-
try. Thousands of happy families will

fore many months have passed, while
other thousands will view the spick-
and-span houses with envious eyes.
However, with the coming of spring
there still is plenty Of time to decide
to build a new home, select the plans,
engage a contractor and get the house
finished. 1t does not take very long
to complete the home of average size,
after the work is begun. 1t is making
the decision to build and picking the
right type of home that requires con.
4 siderable time on the part of most

For the family of average size, say
three or four persons, no type of struc
ture makes a more comfortable an6
attractive dwelling house than a bun
galow. While all the rooms are or

attic is built, there is such a wide
range of architectural design in the

PEARY'S ISLANDS IN MAINE
Explorers Will Tells Definitely Just
How Many Spots He Owned
in the State.

Filing for probate of Rear Admiral
Robert E. Peary's will in Washington
brings to light just what islands in
lower Casco bay were owned by the
discoverer of the north pole, says a
Portland (Me.) dispatch to the Boston
Transcript. Eagle island he bought
when a student at Bowdoin college,
paying for it in money he had earned
when a student at Portland high
school. Others are Basket island of
from seven to ten acres, Pound CT
Tea island stands in the daughters
name. Pine, or what is now known
as Pettingill's island Of from u to 15
acres, Shelter island of from 10 to II
acres, Crab island of two to three
acres, Brown Cow island Of an acre
and a half, the wild, unharbored and
tenantless Mark island beyond Harps-
well with it's rocky and wooded ex-
panse of some 20 acres and nearly
all of Flag island. The Flag island
is the one Peary offered the govern
ment for purpose of an airplane sta
ton and 1t is the island where the ex-
plorer kept his dogs so many years,
Peary owned nearly all the island,
but there was an eighth, or some
such piece, that Peary never was able
to acquire.

Brush, II brush can be procured for
this purpose, should be on hand and
ready for use when the peas are plant
ed.
Substitutes for Brush.
AS a rule, brush cannot be secured
In town. so 1t will be necessary to use
some other form of support. Wire
poultry netting 18 to "a inches In
width probably is the most desirable
support that can be procured, but 1t
Is expensive. and a very satisfactory
support can be made Of cheap twine
and few stakes to string 1t on In
the cnse Of one of the boys club gar
dens, the boys did not have the money
to buy netting, so they went to place
where refuse from the city was
dumped and secured a number Of
broom handles and enough discarded
bale wire to form very satisfactory
trellis upon which the peas were
trained.
Tomatoes trained to a single stem
and tied to stakes not only ripen their
fruits earlier than those left upon the
ground, but the fruits themselves are
of better flavor; and, because they are
held off the ground, they are cleaner
and more convenient for gathering
BY pruning and tying to stakes a much
larger number Of plants can be placed
on a given area. Also plants, such as
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1920-04-30

lettuce, early cabbage, adishes and
beets, can be grown in the spaces be-
tween the tomato plants.
Many people prefer the bush type
of Lima beans to the pole varieties,
because no poles are required for
the bush kinds. 1t has been found.
however, that under most circum-
stances the pole Lima beans are pref
erable, because they can be trained on
strings or wires attached to a fence,
beans can be trained on the fence
itself. BY the use of poles or trellis
of strings or wire the beans are car
ried up off the ground and occupy less
space than do those of the bunch va
rieties. The same is true of q number
of garden crops.
Vine Crops on Fences.
If the garden is small and there is
not room to grow the vine crops on
the ground, they may be trained to the
south side of fence or even upon
the side Of a building, so that they
really occupy very little Of the actual
garden space. Where it is desired to
have some kind of a screen or shade
over the back porch, there is nothing
better than pole Lima beans, as they
form a perfect screen that will last
throughout the summer and at the
same time give supply Of fresh beans
for the table. A little Study of the
habits of the various crops will enable
one to so arrange the garden as to get
the maximum production without sac
rificing quality or convenience in its
cultivation.
