Of the dining room is the Kitchen,
while at the back of the living room is
a bedroom, 10 by II feet. How con-
veniently all Of these rooms are con-
nected is shown by the plaza.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms,
one at each corner of the house, a
bathroom at the back and a small
dressing, or sewing, room at the front.
Each of the rooms is open on two
sides, giving good ventilation. Clos

each bedroom besides another down
stairs.

that is making American homes more

Pruning Should Be Done
Before Big Spring Rush

"Get at your pruning of fruit trees
and grapevines now, before spring
work begins to crowd"
This is the advice received from
Oklahoma A. and NJ. college, written
by Frank b. Cross, professor Of hor-
ticulture. The work may be done any
time in January or February, he says.
Some Of the pointers Professor
Cross gives in pruning are:
Do not leave branches pruned from
trees in the orchard; disease Will
infest the trees from the rotting
branches.
Apple. plum and cherry trees re-
quire only a light annual pruning to
remove crowding branches, so that
sunlight will penetrate to the centers
of the trees to ripen fruit.
Peach trees require rather Sc
we're" pruning, and are not profitable
when closely cut. Fruit is borne on
sprouts put out last year, and heavy
growth of sprouts follows the removal
of any considerable growth by prun-
ing. Pruning may be done after BIOS
SONS open.
In pruning grapes, growth made last
season should be cut to a spur bear
ing two buds. Grapes should be
pruned before sap runs in February.

Dutch architecture has had consid-
cradle effect on American homes.
American architects have taken Dutch
designs and modified them so that
they conform to our ideas of what a
home should be. At the same time
the exterlors follow the graceful but
simple lines of their Dutch originals.
The combination makes some very at
tractive and comfortable homes.
A home that is suitable for both
town and country that follows the
Dutch architectural lines is shown in
the illustration. 1t Is a two-gable
house, with a steep roof pitch. How
ever, at the front the roof lines are
extended in graceful sweep out over
the porch, and wide dormer set into
1t. This provides for two sleeping
rooms upstairs and makes the home
more attractive in appearance. An
other touch of the Old world Is given
by the outside chimney with its square
top, and by the plastered exterior

How to Be Successful in
Starting Berry Patches

The dewberry is a sort of trailing
blackberry and in order to facilitate
their picking, as well as fruiting, set
them about 3 feet apart with a single
wire trelis on each side for the vines
to trail over. This wire should be
raised about 2 feet above the ground,
supported by stakes.
The rows should be or 6 feet apart
as the plants are good runners" Give
good cultivation until vines shade the
ground, when weeds will no longer
bother them.
Both the blackberry and red rasp-
berry are of the sprouting or sucker
rows 5 to feet apart so that the
suckers can grow and form more or
less matted row. The blackberries.
being Of eoarser growth. should be
wider apart than the red raspberries.
Cultivate well for first two or three
years, and always maintain narrow
middle between the rows to facilitate
the picking AS the young canes reach
height of about feet clip or pinch
their tips, so as to cause the side
branches to form. This will give you
greater surface Of fruiting wood, and
lessen the tendency TO whip about.
After the berries are gone the bear
ing canes die away, being replaced
each year by the new canes from the
roots. These old canes should be cut
out and removed before another sea-
son.
A northern slope, or partially shaded
location is an advantage to the black
berry particularly. Liberal mulchings
of straw, leaves or coarse manure
about bearing canes are great aid to
prevent berries drying up during the
heat of the ripening period.-L. 0. VIII

Dairy Cows Must Pay for
Expensive Feed Bills

A dairy COW that fails to return
$3.50 for every dollar spent on her
feed is seldom worth keeping. That
means she must produce 5000 pounds
of milk each year at present prices,
according to an analysis of contrasting
association figures in a northwestern
Ohio county. S. M. Salisbury, animal
husbandry specialist at Chic State
university, estimates that more than
20 per cent of the dairy cows of Ohio
ought to be discarded because they are
not returning an adequate profit above
feed costs There are many cows on
other farms, also, that should be dis
carded because they are improbable.
The use of the scales and Babcock
tester will single them out.

Thinning Out Farm
Woodlot Will Help
In Winter Remove Dying
and Defective Trees.

Nearly every farm woodlot can be
improved by the removal OF dead, dy-
ing, and defective trees. and some OF
the less valuable kinds as well. This
work can best be done in the winter
months when other work is slack.
Winter Is also the best season of the
year in which to cut timber since
those species which sprout naturally
from the stump will do so vigorously
in the spring The work of chopping
and handling logs likewise Is much
easier in winter.
The way to make these cuttings Is
to remove all dead and dying trees,
those which are suffering from dis
ease or insect attack. and trees which
are crooked and defective or may be
hindering the growth of others more
valuable.
1t should be kept in mind that the
stand of trees is not opened up TO
such an extent that grass and weeds
will grow where young trees should
be growing. In other words, the
"crown cover should be kept so that
about one-half shade will be provided.
Nearly all species Of trees will repro
duce naturally without special effort,
and second crop should be obtained
without any difficulty. In the case OF
failure from this source. 1t is possible
to plant young nursery trees to take
the place of those cut.

Window Shades No
Longer Fade, Crack

1t Is the delight of science to uproot
venerable ideas, change old standards
and put into the discard many articles
that have been used contentedly for
generations. In its great forward
march science has stopped moment

the fabric from which window shades
are made.
1t is remarkable how long people
have been satisfied, or at least recon-
ciled, to use window shades that have
been inherently unsuited for the serv-
ice they were intended to render. For
generations 1t has been taken for
granted that window shade-usually
the most exposed item in the house
was something to be carefully guarded
against wear and weather, rather than
something that should resist their ef-
fects.
When shades became ruined by rain
the carelessness of leaving the win
dows open was condemned and not the
fabric from which the shades were
made. When shades became faded
by sunlight. this was bemoaned as a
natural, inevitable thing like sunlight
itself when they become Soiled the
thought was not OF their renovation,
but of their replacement.

Hardening Hotbed Plants

Plants raised in hotbeds, cold frames
or in boxes in the house need to be
hardened off" before they are trans
planted into the open ground. The
box may be moved from the window
and set outdoors during the warmer
portions of the day, while the sash on
the frames should be removed wholly
or in part whenever the weather per-
mlts, being taken off permanently as
soon as possible. This Is as soon as
danger of frosts Is past. In this man
ner the plants become thoroughly ac-
customed to outdoor conditions before
they are set in the open ground.

Warehouse Act
Of Big Benefit
Much Money Being Loaned
to Organizations and
Farmers on Receipts.


prepared by the United states Department
of Agrieulture.l
Hundreds of millions of dollars are
being loaned to cooperative market
ing organizations and individual farm
ers on the basis of warehouse receipts
issued by warehousemen licensed
under the United States warehouse act,
reports II. S. Yohe Of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which is charged with administration
of the act.
Co-operatives Using Receipts.
Among the prominent co-operatlves
using licensed receipts in negotiating
loans of their stored commodities are
the Burley Tobacco Growers Co-opera-
tive association; the Dark Tobacco
Growers Cooperative association;
the Tobacco Growers Cooperative As
ISOLATION of Virginia and the Caro-
linas; the Northern Wisconsin Cooper
alive Tobacco pool; the South Caro-
lima, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Arizona, Tennes-

Citations of Mississippi; the Kansas,
southwest and Indiana wheat grow
ers; the Louisiana and Arkansas rice
growers cooperative associations; the
Pacific, California, Montana and Iowa
wool growers cooperative associa-
lions, and the Georgia Peanut Grow
ers' Cooperative association.
The act now provides for the issu-
ance of warehouse receipts for cot
ton, wool, tobacco, grain, farmers
stock peanuts, late potatoes, broom
corn, dry beans, and dried fruit. Any
public warehousemen who can estab-
lish to the satisfaction of the Depart
ment of Agriculture that they are
trustworthy, competent, financially re-
sponslble, and have proper storage ia
cilities, may be licensed to store these
products.
Accepted as Collateral.
So favorably does the banking fra
ternity view the receipts issued by
the federally licensed warehousemen
that many banks accept the receipts
as collateral without question, Mr..
Yohe says. The intermediate Credit
banks, the Federal Reserve banks, and
many leading commercial bankers have
expressed preference for the receipts.
Cooperative associations which store
their products with warehousemen IL
censed under the act obtain preferred
receipt which gives them wider field
of credit and frequently better inter-
est rates.
The receipt Is definite contract be-
tween the depositor and the ware
houseman, showing among other things
the exact quantity of the product in
trusted to the warehouseman, its grade,
variety and condition. Any incum-
brances against the goods stored must
be clearly shown. The federally IL
censed warehousemen are subject to
examination prior to licensing and are
under constant government superyl-
sion thereafter, under plan of super
vision similar to that used by the
United States Treasury department in
the supervision of national banks.
