ROOFING WILL
keep YOU COOL

Increased use of Flax-li-num by
home-builders has been due in a
large measure to the growing con-
viction that 1t is one OF the best
building insulation and sound-proof
materials ON the market.
This testimony has been given by
competent construction engineers
and has been tested out by an army
of honle-owners, according to Ralph
Vonnegut of the Vonnegut Hard
ware Company, 120 E. Washington
st.
During the summer, the roof Of
story and a half house absorbs
the heat rays of the sun and the
heat is transmitted directly to the
sleeping rooms. Unless these rooms
are insulated they are almost un-'
endurable as sleeping rooms, Won
negut pointed out.
"Flax-li-num is a thick material
of felted fax fibres, and heat does
not pass through 1t readily. Hence,
when it is built into side walls,
ceilings, and roof Of a house, 1t keeps
the heat out in summer and keeps
it in winter" he explained.
ut is neither limp not board-like
in form, but is semi-rigid, easily
installed without danger Of tearing,
breaking or puncturing. 1t is per-
manent and when once placed, it
will not warp, buckle, crack or
pulverize."
Architects and heating engineers
have made practical tests which
have proved that Flax-liinum will
have fuel, running from 1914 per
cent to As per cent If properly in
stalled.

The extra large radiator has pro-
vided increased radiating surface,
and is so designed that every part
is uniformly hot, all air passing over
the radiator being evenly heated.
Special cupped button plates, with
double-seal cemented joints, pro-
vides for increased radiating areas.
The large door and short feed Sec
ton is standard on all Sunbeam
furnaces, permitting easy firing of
large chunks of coal or wood. The
doors fit tightly and are equipped
with twisted wire or Alaska ham
dies, which are always cool. If de-
sired q smoke curtain can be sup
piled.
The f1repot has two pieces Of ex-
ira heavy construction, with the
walls almost vertical, preventing the
forming of clinkers against firepot
walls. Wide cup joints allow for ex-
pansion.
The ash pit is roomy, and a full
width ash pit door makes removal Of
ashes easy. Crate bar hangar in
sures perfect operation and easy
removal of CRATE bars.
Other features are the heavy, one
piece base, made of Sun-beametal;

STUCCO COLORS
BROUGHT FAME

California stucco was developed,
because a plasterer challenged a
an adage of the plastering trade
time worn idea about color. 1t was
that color could not be successfully
mixed in mortar.
Everyone accepted the idea. They
painted the plaster as they would
paint lumber. A little later the paint
peeled off in big strips.
GA Malone came from family
of plasterers.
He doubled the old ideas.
If color were successfully with
mortar, he reasoned, it would be
beautiful, permanent. He turned his
backyard into a laboratory.
After four years experimenting
he succeeded IN getting three colorS
white, cream and gold.
Modestly he told several architects
of his experiments. Their en-
thusiasm surprised him. A few even
asked to use this new colo-ed stucco
on work they were doing. The re-
suits we're pleasing. Leading
architects began specifying it. Later
at meeting of the Master Plasters'
Association it was proposed that
Malone devote his whole time to the
manufacture of colored stucco.
That was the start. From the
backyard laboratory has developed
an international institution.
Many men prominent IN the
building field called on Malone for
his counsel and advice. Among
these was the late Bertram Good
hue, dean of American architects.
This great man found California
stucco medium that would express
his ideas in color. Els last great
work, the Los Angeles City Library,
is finished in California stucco.
Yet this renaissance of color has
only begun. Each year sees stucco
buildings Of new grandeur. new
beauty. The plastering craft has
awakened to it's responsibility. The
art of color plastering, lost since
the early day of the Romans, is en-
joying a complete revival.

Bichloride Is Safest
for Sweet Potato Dip

Growers will do well TO continue
using mercuric chloride for the con-
troll Of certain sweet potato diseases,
in the opinion of r. T. Poole, as
sociate plant pathologist at the New
Jersey agricultural experiment sta
ton. Experiments indicate that a num-
Der of new organic mercury COM
pounds now on the market must be
used with caution. These substances
control the diseases very well but
also poison the roots of the plants
and thereby reduce sprout develop
ment to a considerable degree.
Until this bad effect Of the new
compounds is overcome, growers will
get better results from the cid mer-
curic chloride or, as 1t Is sometimes
called, bichloride of mercury, dipping
method. In making the solution for
this, one ounce Of the bichloride is
used in eight gallons of water BY
immersing the seed potatoes in this
for ten minutes, the grower can de-
stroy scurf, black rot, soft rot, and
stem rot organisms on the surface of
the potatoes
No solution is effective, Doctor
Poole adds, unless healthy seed is
selected The only function Of the
seed treatment is to destroy organ
isms resting on the potatoes before
they begin to enter the skin and young
sprouts. Once they have entered no
surface treatment can reach them.

Corrosive Sublimate Guns
Useful for Purpose.

New tactics are to be used against
cabbage maggots this year by Del-Bay
Farms, of Bridgeton, n. j. Instead of
using the customary method of hoeing
around the young cabbage plants to
remove maggot eggs, the company
viii poison the pest with corrosive
sublimate.
With the new method, the young
cabbage plants are watched after they
are set in the field. When eggs of the
maggot fly are found, which under
ordinary conditions will be within
four or six days after the setting, the
Del-Bay Farms workmen will go into
action with their corrosive sublimate
guns. Instructions have been issued
to apply the solution on the plants for
a space of about two inches above
the ground so that it will run down to
the roots. A second application will
be made ten days later.
The Del-Bay Farms company esti-
mates that this treatment, including
materials and labor, viii cost about
SIS an acre for each application,
which is considerably below the cost
of the old method.

Agriculture May Improve
by 1881. Saws DR.. Warren

By about 1881. agriculture will be
in a relatively much better position
than at present, predicts DR.. g. F.
Warren. head of the department Of
agricultural economics at the state
college of agriculture at Ithaca, n. 7.
Some. of the factors which he sees
as favorable omens are: Beef cattle
may be expected 10 bring good prices
by then. Dairy cattle probably win be
relatively high and scarce due TO a
present shortage of cattle from one
to four years old Hogs probably viii
decline In price but win be high
again by then. II the building depres-
sion lasts the usual length OF time,
there win be too many houses in the
cities. All these influences will COM
bine to improve agriculture
Because most agricultural products
are sold at wholesale, the level of
wholesale prices is important With
this in mind, Doctor Warren saws
the agricultural depression may be
over by 1881 If the general price
level OF all commodities at wholesale
does not decline further.

Rations for Swine Contain
ing Skim Milk, Tankage,
ETC., Are Favored.

Casually, IL a farmer needs 81
inch fence, he doesn't go to the ex-
pense Of stretching a 4S-inch wire
along that line, even though hard
ware salesman tries TO persuade. The
question of mineral supplements for
swine rations, which has stirred up
considerable discussion among farm
ers, is a very similar problem and is
almost as simple" says DR.. w. E.
Carroll, chief in swine husbandry at
the college of agriculture, University
OF Illinois.
"The two things most needed in the
way of mineral supplements for swine
Is a little more straight thinking on
the part of the men who feed them,
and little less 'hocus pocus' on the
part of the statesmen. Some rations
need a mineral supplement while 9TH
ers do not. In case the ration being
fed needs a mineral supplement, it
is not necessary to pay exorbitant
prices for it.
Some Raticns Need Protein.
IF ration already contains enough
mineral elements of the right kind,
nothing viii be gained by adding more.
1t is the problem of the 4-foot fence
when one 8 feet high is ample. In
general, rations which contain liberal
amounts of skim milk, tankage, fish
meal or other protein supplements Of
animal origin will contain enough Of
the necessary mineral elements. ex-
cept common salt, to meet the needs
of any class of swine. On the other
hand, swine rations which are made
up entirely of materials from the plant
kingdom are likely to be deficient In
lime and may also lack phosphorus.
AS examples of these rations may be
mentioned corn and soy beans, also
corn and soy bean oil meal.
Even with these rations which are
known to be deficient in mineral, moth
ing apparently is to be gained, except
In special cases, by adding other ele-
ments than calcium, phosphorus, So
dunn and chlorine. That being the
case, the source of these elements,
their cost and the proportion in which
to feed them are the questions need
ing attention.
Cheap Source OF Calcium.
Without going into detail, it may
be stated that a cheap, yet satisfac-
tory, source of calcium is the ordi-
nary agricultural limestone of high
calcium grade. One of the best
sources of phosphorus is steamed bone
meal, while sodium and chlorine are
added as common salt. The proper
ton of these materias quite generally
recommended at the present time, is:
Two parts ground limestone, two parts
steamed bone meal and one part COM
mon salt. In case the feeding is being
done in goitrous area, the feeds and
water will be deficient in iodine. In
these areas one ounce of potassium or
sodium iodine should be added TO
each 100 pounds of the mineral sup
plement
"This simple mineral supplement
can be mixed on almost any farm at
cost not to exceed S1.25 to S1.75
hundred pounds, based on average
retail prices of the ingredients. II
spent bone black can be bought for
less than steamed bone meal, it may
be substituted for the bone meal in

Old Coliseum Turned
Into Trysfin9 Place

The coliseum by the light Of full
moon. Perhaps there are few more
beautiful sights In the world. More
over, It Is loveliness which serves
more than an esthetic purpose. for this
monument of all that was glorious In
one of the greatest civilizations the
world has known Is now above all
things trysting place on moonlight
nights.
Any one who walks down the Corso
In Rome on a moonlight night and
turns to the left past the enormous
white mass Of the Victor Emmanuel
monument Is sure to meet on his way
many couple strolling arm in arm,
all in the same direction. They stop,
usually, in passing the Roman forum
to look for moment or two at its
fantastic ruins-like so many desolate
ghosts OF vanished past-and then
go on, under the high arches of the
coliseum and across the arena, losing
themselves finally In the friendly shad-
ows OF Its protecting walls.
Here they may look across, If they
care, to where the moon has lighted
for them a vision of unforgetable
beauty, softening the harsh outlines
that centuries of time have hewn out
Of its once perfect symmetry.
Parties OF Americans come by, with
this guide, who points up to where
the tiers Of seats rose high in the
air; where vestal virgins sat to enjoy
the slaughter OF gladiators and the
martydrom of hundreds Of Christians /;
where the emperors marched proud
iy to their box amid the wild acclama-
ton Of the multitude, only to pass
on, leaving some dim memory.
AS the tourists go the guide can
still be heard for a moment or two;
Here were the dungeons in which
Christian martyrs were kept Here
the cells where wild beasts were
starved three days that they might
be famished when let loose" And
here now where the gentle breeze
seems freighted with the sighs Of
unhappy phantoms come back to haunt
again the scene of their martyrdom
or triumph, 1900 years later, Jack
and Jill sit together In the light Of
the moon.

Control Melon Aphid by
Application of Nicotine

fPrepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The melon aphid, which attacks wa
termelons. muskmelons, cucumbers and
like crops, Is effectively controlled by
the application of nicotine either as
spray or dust, says the United States
Department Of Agriculture. This In
sect, frequently called the melon louise,
is very small, varies in color from
light green to dark green, and the
wingless forms are 1ouselike in appear
ance.
The pest has more than 40 known
natural insect enemies, which In some
measure check its ravages, according
to Bulletin No. 1902. ''The Melon
Aphid and Its Control" When condi-
tions are favorable for its develop
ment. however, artificial control be-
comes necessary.
The winged forms of the aphid de-
velop on other food plants and fly to
the melon and cucumber vines, where
they feed on the underside OF the
leaves, which curl, wither and die.
Since the insects are capable Of caus-
ing wholesale destruction on short no
tice, it Is important that a constant
lookout be kept for any sign Of the
pest and control measures applied
promptly.
The bulletin contains a general de-
scription of the melon aphid, the ma
ture of its attack, distribution, food
plants, seasonal history, insect enc
mics, and methods of control. A copy
may be obtained free, as long as the
supply lasts. upon request to the Unit
