The Five.Roon House.

Distinguished from the harsh lines
OF the city tenement is the house
In this accompanying illustration.
1t is a frame house with shingle or
siding interior. The surface Is
painted white with blue-green roof
and blinds. and the dark red brick
stucco hints q eoIy, comfortable in
terror. One of the joys or frame
house is the possibility of changing
the exterior color scheme OCCASION
ally. Fancy this same house at
some future time in two tones of
gray and blue, or tan and brown
and green.
Upon inspection We and flve large
rooms upstairs and down. In fact.
the whole house is so admirably
divided that all rooms are better
than average in size. Entering the
vestibule. we have on the one hand
the dining room and on the other
the living room.
The living room, with its wide.
generous fireplace. Is - feet 6
inches by 81 feet 9 inches. almost
twice as large as that in the aver
age small apartment.
French doors open on to q porch
which Is supported by two massive
columns which. by the help Of
shrubbery, lends itself admirably
for the afternoon tea or the evening
siesta.
From the dining room windows
We glimpse the lawn and garden
patch to which We gain access over
the terrace. The dining room has
an exterior entrance OF its own.

own. Much more economical in cost
than loose pieces which frequently
cannot be had to fit exactly the
spaces permitted by the construc-
ticn of the building. II is also more
conveniently arranged and adapted
for use by the housewife. Here we
find a cupboard for the dishes and
kitchen utensils and another where
hour, sugar and other materials are
in plain sight.
Another convenience which VIM
be readily appreciated is the small
toilet room which is outside the
kitchen door.
The ice box is so placed that II
ca nbe iced without muddy feet
coming into the kitchen, and Is far
enough away from the gas stove so
that intense heat on baking days
will not affect the ice. With the
price of this commodity continu-
ing high, this arrangement spehs
economy
Upstairs we find a large masters
chamber, 10 feet s inches by 10 feet
6 inches, and another good-sized
chamber II feet by ~ feet 6 inches.
Each has clothes closets under the
sloping roof, and a unique dressing
closet is placed between them. The
linen closet provided is readily ac-
cessible from either bedroom or
the bathroom, which also has a sep
arate clothes closet under the slop-
ing roof.

Furthermore, TO remove one of
the great contributing causes OF

been used on the entire FIRST floor
ceiling as the base for the plaster.
This form of crack insurance built

children may romp above without
fear of cracking the plaster, for
metal lath is formed from thin stcel

a very light web. which reinforces

PREVENT OUTBREAKS OF INJURIOUS PEST
Control WebWOrms in Corn by
 Cultural Methods.
After Crop Is Once Planted and Field Is Found to Be Infested There Is No Practicable Way of
 Getting Rid of Them.
tPrep"red by the United States Departmen.

1 (Prepared by the United States Department | of Agriculture.)
 Outbreaks of webworms in corn in
 the Middle Eastern states can be pre- vented only by cultural methods, ac. ! cording to the bureau of entomology of the United States Department of
 Agriculture. Unlike most of our de. structive pests, the various species
 of webworms are all natives of Amer.
 ica and have not been introduced from foreign lands.
 Summer or very early fall blowing should be practiced. Flowing in late October or November has little effect because the worms are already In their winter webs under the surface of the ground. Land that has been in sod or pasture, or lain fallow and grown up to weeds and grass should be plowed in July or August, if 1t is intended to plant 1t to corn the fol lowing spring.
 Grasslands of all kinds-meadows pastures, or lawns-furnish the nor nal food of sod webworIns, but they also gnaw young corn plants below the surface and deform them so as to prevent the production of grain. After the corn is once planted and the field is found to be infested there Is no practicable method of getting rid of the worms; the only thing that can be done is to produce conditions that will permit the corn to grow in spite of thent .
 Disking in the spring. the application of fertilizer, and the sowing of sound seed are the chief preventive meas. ures that will have any effect. Nei- ther poisoning nor trapping has met with any success.

PROPER FEED FOR DAIRY COW
Animal Should Have All Roughage She Will Clean Up-Proportion
 of Grain Mixture.

Under most circumstances, the COW should be fed all the roughage that she will eat up clean, adjusting the grain ration to the milk production. Only when the COW tends to become overfat should the quantity of rough age be restricted.
 A grain mixture should be fed In the proportion of one pound to each three pints or pounds of milk pro- duced daily by the COW. except in the case of COW producing a flow of 40 pounds or more, when the ration can be one pound to each three and one half or four pounds of milk. An even better rule Is one pound of grain each day for every pound of butterfat pro- duced during the week by the COW.
 Feed all the COW will respond to In milk production. When she begins to put on flesh cut down the grain.

GREEN MANURIne AIDS SOIL
Really One of Oldest Methods Crops for This Purpose Were
 Used by Ancients.

Green manuring-plowing under green crops-as a means of soil i'm provement, although it has been em- phasized in recent years, can hardly be called a new discovery, says the United States Department of Agricul- ture. It is really one of the oldest methods. Crops for this purpose were used by the ancients, the Romans us ing lupines, which were sOwn in Sep tember and turned under in May for the benefit of the following crop.
 In Germany the use of lupines be- gan in the middle of the Nineteenth century and has proved an important factor in retaining the sandy lands of parts of Prussia. In England legumes and other plants are con- monly used; in India and Japan the farmers gather green plants of many kinds, sometimes even cutting twigs from the trees and carrying them to the rice fields.
 In the United States the use of special green-manure crops Is much more general in the South than In the North. Under irrigation they play an important part in orchard culture in the West, but not under dry-farming conditions.

DOGS
 POISONED 0N LARGE AREA

TUCSON, Oct 80 Thirty eight
 thousand, one hundred ninety-five
 acres of land were treated with poisor
 during the month of September tc
 exterminate prarie dogs, jack rabbits and gophers. D. A. Gilchrist, Rodent
 Pest Director, U. s. Biological Sur vey, reports this as having been
 done mostly in the northern counties
 with an effectiveness of approxima tely ninety percent
 Prairie dogs in the Garland unit
 are reported as having been com
 pletely exterminated and work on
 the Lyman Irrigation Project and
 the Prescott Farms Project, as well
 as the Perkinsville tract, made ex.
 cellent progress. MT M. A. Perkins
 the well known cattleman of Pres
 colt, writes to D. A. Gilchrist as
 follows:
 There has been an old establish ed prairie dog town near our head: quarters at Perkinsville for many
 years. It consisted of about 800 acres with at least fifty dogs to the acre. These pests were SO numer- ous that they were destroying at least fifty percent of the grass and made the working of cattle at our rodeo lot practically impossible. A few weeks ago MT. L. l.. Laythe, a re- presentative of the Bureau of Biol ogical Survey of the U s. Depart ment of Agriculture and the Univer- sity of Arizona. visited our ranch and supervised the preparing and plac- ing of poisoned grain on this area with the result that the prairie dogs h We have examined the area carefully and we are positive that there is not live dog remaining.
 I believe that the work was sue cessful for the reason that two days previous to the placing of the poison grain Mr. Laythe placed a teaspoon full of imprisoned prebait at each hole and by so doing the prairie dogs got accustomed to eating grain and when the poisoned grain was placed two days later it fooled them. It takes twice as long to treat an area with this method but it certainly pays to get all of them and be done with the job forever.
 These methods have been carefully worked out by the Biological Survey after nine years of experience right here in Yavapai County and I think that it is about time for the stock men of the County to wake up to the fact that they can double the amount of grass on their ranges by killing the prairie dogs. Do not ex- pect the Government men to do all this work for you. Take a real in- terest in the work and have them teach you the methods so you can handle the work yourself With the limited funds available it is only possible for the Government to en- ploy three or four men for this pur- pose and these men are to demon strate the mthods to farmers and stockmen all over Arizona. Consid- 1 ering that we have around six mil | ion acres in Arizona infested with l prairie dogs, it seems to me that | .hese men have a real job on their | hands and I think it is high time for he stockmen to take a real interest 1 n this matter and clear their lands If the pest"

DAIRY 
BIG VALUE OF BETTER SIRES
Offspring Of Scrub Cows Bred to Pure. breds Show Great Increase in
 Milk and Fat

That purebred sires in the grade dairy herd are worth while is shown
 in the results of 14 years of expert ments at Iowa State college. In the | first generation from the purebred dairy bulls used, production of milk in grade cows was increased A per cent and fat production 3S per cent. In the second generation an increase of 110 per cent in milk over the orig inal production was secured and 1O1 per cent increase in butterfat This increase would more than pay for the cost of good sire and the farmer would have better herd at the end besides.
 This work, which is continuation of an experiment started in 1907 with scrub Arkansas cows, has progressed into the second generation so far and results show conclusively the value of better sires.
 The Arkansas scrubs under Iowa conditions had an average production Of 4,OO9 pounds of milk and 1S7 pounds of fat. The next generation following, made up of the offspring of the scrub cows from purebred sires, had production of 5,769 pounds of milk and 259 pounds of butterfat.
 In the next generation, where pure bred sires were again used on grade cows, production of S,413 pounds of milk and 376 pounds of butterfat re- suited.
 HOlStein, Jersey and Guernsey bulls were used in this experiment. In the original matings of the scrub cows which were later bred to Jer- sey bulls they produced 4O47 pounds of milk and 194 pounds of butterfat. From the first generation of Jersey mating a production of 1884 pounds of milk resulted and 266 pounds of butterfat. From the second Jersey mating 6,257 pounds of milk were produced and 320 pounds of butter fat.
 Scrub COWS later bred to purebred Guernsey bulls produced 4,3O6 pounds of milk and 196 pounds of butterfat. In first mating with the Guernsey bulls 4,371 pounds of milk and 231 pounds of butterfat resulted. From

Water Needed bv Gnu

A good milk-producing COW ought to have in the summer time at least 15O pounds of water day, and in the winter time about 100 pounds.
