Consideration in Buildiro

There are lot Of things that can
not be and should not be regulated
by law, but should be governed more
successfully than they are by good
taste and proper consideration for
others of good taste. This applies in
a particularly conspicuous way to
architecture. To break into street
of generally good building standards
with a freakish, garish or otherwise
lncongruous structure is not only a
manifestation of bad taste, but a
selfish disregard for the rights and in
terests of those who exercise good
taste and good business Judgment.
The same is true of the architect or
builder who puts a freak dwelling in
a beautiful and harmonious neighbor-
hood Of homes. Such an architect or
builder discredits himself and offends

Care and Cultioation
of Grounds Important

Where it is not possible to build the
new house on a lot having good trees,
the first step toward an attractive
home is tree planting. Even with
trees already established, plants of
smaller growth ere required in addi-
ton if home atmosphere is to radi-
ate from the house. A proper combi-
nation of these gives the most pleas
ing result.
Locating the walk and the drive, If
there is to be one, is a necessary pre-
lfminary to planting the grounds
The less conspicuous they are the bet
ter for the general effect If the
house is close to the street a straight
walk is the least obtrusive and cuts
up the lawn less than a curving one !;
but If the house is farther from the
street than the width of it's own front,
an unbrOken lawn may be provided by
curving the walk from one corner or
the other. When a drive is needed it
may often be used as a substitute for
a walk. Walks and drives should be
kept as few in number and as limited
in area as conditions will permit.
Proper location of shade trees is
probably the most vital of all the
planting details. Where the house is
placed close to the street the street
trees are usually the only ornamental
trees that can be used, but where
there is room some are needed near
each corner of the house as a frame,
but none in front to obstruct the view.
On large lot additional trees provide
welcome shade, but must not obstruct
the picture of the front.

Pure-Bred Ram Improves

''Pure-Bred Sires and Flock I'm
provement" is the title of a chart lust
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture showing the ad-
vantages of good breeding. 1t demon
strates by diagrams that a pure-bred
ram improves a flock as much in two
generations as a grade does in five,
the grade in this case being three
quarters full blood.
The chart is patterned after a sim
liar one dealing with cattle, which
has been unusually popular as a
means of extending the use of pure
bred sires. The sheep chart is printed
in leafet form, size 5 by 7, and copies
may be had on application to the

ture.

Tenants Seek Beauty
in Business Building

So far as it's ability to make it's
salt is concerned, commercial build

There are several reasons for this,

Scraper that 1t pays actual dollars to
create the beautiful rather than the
ordinary or ugly.
The building that has been erected
for commercial purposes should con-
tain elements in it's makeup that will
insure for its owner a continuation Of
its profitableness as time goes on. At
first, buildings newness and loca-
ton usually warrant the investment
being made without fear of its becom-

Of gold to the original investor. But
when new building goes up along

away, then there is a great liability

For Success With Flock
Don't Let Chicks Crowd

Many troubles which beset the grow
Ing stock may be warded off by pre-
venting the chicks from crowding, say
poultry authorities at the New Jersey
State College of Agriculture.
The situation becomes more and
more serious as the birds increase in
size. Many birds showing stunted
growth and unkempt feathers fail to
grow simply because of lack of room
and not because of any particular dis
ease or deficiency in the ration.
The damage is done at night. One
may have a relatively small number
Of birds in house and feel that they
have ample room, but if these few
persist in crowding on the floor the
resulting damage may be as great as
If the house were actually over
crowded with stock.
The thing to do is to get the birds
in the habit of roOsting as soon as pos
sible. When on the roosts they must
line up in single file with plenty of
air circulation on all sides. Care must
be taken, of course, that the stock
shall not get chilled. This means that
the house should be- kept around 60
or 70 degrees. If one has difficulty in
teaching the birds to roost it may be
necessary to tack one-inch mesh wire
netting under the roosts and from the
front roosting stick to the floor. The
birds may then be forced up the wire
about dusk and in a few days will go
up of their own accord. Get them on
the roosts. 1t pays.

Insects Cause
Big Grain Loss
- -. r
Damage May Be Reduced
by Early. Harvesting and
!. Prompt Fumigation.


.{Prepared by the United States Department.
+, ~ - of Agriculture.) q,
1t Is best to harvest grain crops as;
soon as possible after maturity and to
fumigate them promptly in order to
kill any stored grain insects, says the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture. Farmers now suffer enormous
losses from insect damage to grains.
Farmers Bulletin 14S3-F, just issued,
brings out many interesting facts
relative to the cause and extent of in
sect infestation of grains.
Where Insects Develop.
The idea that insects develop from
the germ of grain, although long since
discredited, still persists among grain
handlers and producers. The fact is,
says the department, that grain often
becomes infested with insects before
it is harvested. The rice weevil and
the Angoumois grain moth live over
the winter in the grain bins, fly to
the nearby fields of ripening wheat
and corn as these are nearing ma
turity, and lay eggs upon the wheat
heads or corn kernels. These eggs
hatch and the young pests burrow into
the immature grain.
Illustrations are given in the bulle-
tin of corn cribs designed to permit
effective fumigation and instructions
are given for their construction. The
most successful grain fumigations are
carried on at temperatures ranging
from Is degrees to 95 degrees Fahren-
heit.
Other Facts Noted. M
The new publication also discusses
the fumigation of grain with heavier
'than-air gases, effect. of ft1migation on
