Rhode Island Reds, and Wyandottesi
should be Matched not later than the
middle of April-if you are going to
have them laying at the most profit
able season Of the year.
Peonies may be planted now or
during the early fall. They want a
rich soil. Some authorities claim
that manure should not be placed in
direct contact with their roots, but
that the ground should be heavily
manured in advance Of planting
them, and the manure mixed with
the soil very thoroughly.
Yellow corn and white corn are
generally thought of as equal in
feeding value. Yellow corn, however,
contains much more fat-soluble Wit
amin than white corn. When this Wit
amin is not supplied by pasture
grass or green-leaved roughage or
good quality hay, which probably
contains an abundance of this sub
stance, yellow corn should be fed.
The color of corn has no. affect on
the color of milk.

SaIted Peanuts

Salted peanuts in individual bags
have been known to the public foI
only a few years.
In the beginning the manufactur-
ers always split the nut and took
out the kernel because it was bitter
A dozen years ago an inventive
genius in Suffolk, Virginia, started
to put up the best Virginia "jumbos
in the full nut just as they came
from the shell. 1t was a great idea
and he made a million.
Out of the full-sized nut grew the
business of the Planters peanuts
Now the Planters stock the counters
of the world with confections in
beautiful cellophane wrappers
which are transparent and show UP
peanuts, candies, food, ETC., at their
very best.
Peanuts were at one time left on
the ground for the hogs, or sold ov-
er the counter at five cents a hatful.
Peanuts grow on vines and they
are dug out of the ground the same
as potatoes.

slate or asbestos shingles would
look exceedingly well on this house,
however, the cost would be some
what more.
The floor plans are economically
and well arranged. One enters the
house through a vestibule and sun
porch. There is a bedroom on the
first floor which could be used as
den, or home Office If desired. The
living room, dining room and kitch-

large closets. A stairway leads up

One of the greatest charms of the
English cottage styles lies in the
fact that the caves of the roof are
low, near the ground, and the roof
pitches are carried up steep, form
ing pointed gables and providing
good space for rooms on the second
floor.
This manner of roof treatment has
met with much popularity in small
house design. 1t gives low spread
ing effect so necessary in small two
story houses. Then again, a roof
having a steep pitch quickly sheds
rain, snow and ice thereby prolong-
ing the life Of the roof covering:
This is especially true with wood
shingles, and with slate, snow Is less
liable to blow up under the courses

Peanuts

Shortly after the Civil War Con-
federate sea captain took cargo OF
Virginia peanuts aboard and sailed
for New York. He could find no
sales for the Virginia goober peas
in New York City.
In desperation he engaged lus-
ty-lunged Italian to take some of his
goods out on Broadway. and the
curiosity of the throngs over the
"hot roasted peanuts" brought them
. TO taste-and then to approve. That
was in 1867 and the total crop of
peanuts in the United States that
year was 100000 bushels. Today the
peanut industry is rated IN terms OF
millions.

modelled to provide proper lighting

have attractive trees or shrubbery
and in a number of instances they
are overgrown with weeds. Several
plots in crossroad corners are
scarcely larger than the buildings,
according to the report.

bad points but emphasizes the good

A very good color scheme for the
exterior Of this house would be
cream colored stucco, dark brown or
black stained roof. Brown wood
work and a light shade Of green for
the SASH doors and shutters. If slate
or asbestos shingles are used they
should be in various shades of
brown, purples, greens, and greys.
The house would set well on a
forty-five foot lot.
A cellar is provided under the en-
tire house, and the laundry, heating
plant, etc., are located there.

Foods which stimulate the appe-

served at the beginning of the meal.
That's the reason many people like

When choosing children's gar
ments, consider the durability Of the
material, whether or not it will
launder well and easily, and what
provision is made for the growth of
the child. Can the child put it on
and take it off himself. These
points are just as important as at
tractive design or color.
To clean upholstered furniture,
either a vacuum cleaner or brush

mashed rutabagas. The corn frit-
ters add richness and crispness to
any of these vegetable combinations.
