E. A. Wade and wife, formerly of Illinois, are now touring the country in a unique home on wheels. A single lug, cut from a fir tree in the state of Washington, has been hollowed and converted Into a two-room apartment, 16 fret long and 9 feet high. Two folding beds and a kitchen are features of the interior. The log has been mounted on the chassis of a ton and-a-half truck and trailer.

Casement Curtains Arranged to Draw.

<Prepared by the Vetted State* Department of Agriculture.) Casement windows, either single or in groups, are picturesque and appropriate in both large and small houses. Jf well made they are charming and convenient, but they must be curtained so as not to Interfere with their opening. Curtain Material. The material of which the casement curtains are made is the same 1 as that used for any other windows in the room, unless some special effect is desired. In a hall\>r alcove a casement may sometimes be treated ; as an entirely separate decorative | feature. If the living room has both casements and double sash windows the material chosen for curtains must be adapted to both types of window, and to the atmosphere of the living room, whether formal and dignified, or informally gay and cheerful. The bureau of home economics suggests that plain fabrics, such as poplin, pongee, habutai silk, rayon, silk and cotton mixtures, monk’s cloth, heavy gauze, or casement cloth, are good. Richly patterned cretonnes suit some living rooms If the walls are plain. If the casement opens out, fthere is

less chanbe of the curtains being It the way of the sash. Draw curtains can be pulle<T back to the extreme edge of the window frame when the ’ -casement is opened. If glass curtains must be used they should be hung from the upper casing so that they remain inside the room when the casement is unfastened. Otherwise they would soon be spoiled by rain and outdoor air. Side draperies and draw curtains should end on a lin* with the apron or sill. If Casement Opens In. If the casement opens in, glass cur tains may be shirred on rods at the top and bottom of the sash, or hung with rings from the top of it, so that they swing with the window. “If a valance and side draperies are used with the opening-in casement, the valance must clear the top of the sash as it swings In. On the whole, draw curtains will be found best for casements. They are generally arranged in clusters of plaits on rings to be drawn back and forth on a solid rod by means of double cords passing over small pulleys. The illustration shows casement curtains of plain colored pongee for the living room.

APPLE BUTTER IS APPETIZING DISH Can Be Made Either With ot \ Without Cider. (Prepared by the VnUed State* Department of Agriculture.) There are two ways of making appk butter—either with or without sweet cider. In making apple butter with cider the usual proportion is gallon for gallon, but from one-half to threequarters of a gallon of cider to e gallon of peeled and sliced apples will give a rich product if the apples at* good cookers. The butter must be watched carefully and stirred fre quently to prevent scorching an*i staking to the kettle. An enamellined or aluminum preserving kettle especially kept for cooking fruit is de sirable, though not absolutely neces sary. The cooking is continued until the cider and apples do not separate and the butter, when cold, is as thick as apple sauce. About a pound ot either white or brown sugar to a gal lon of butter is the usual proportion added when the cooking is about twothirds done. More or less or not anj sugar may be used, to suit the taste Spicing is a matter of taste. A goot flavor will be obtained by adding hall a teaspoonful each of ground cinna mon. cloves and allspice for each gal lon of butter, when the cooking is finished. From two to four teaspoonful* of vanilla extract per gallon improve* the quality and adds to the “snappl ness" of the butter. Pack the apple butter boiling hot it sterilized containers, such as gifts* mason jars or stoneware jars. If th< butter Is to be kept a long time us« jars with tight-fitting covers and ster llize them tn a hot-water bath for fiv* to fifteen minutes, according to size like other canned fruits. Making French Dressing For French, or oil and vinegai dressing, use these proportions and make any amount you need: half tea- j spoonful of salt, a few grains of cayenne. paprika if desired, two table- i •spoonfuls of vinegar, six tablespoon- i fuls of oil. An old cookbook used to > say that French dressing required “a . spendthrift for oil. a miser for vin- * egar, and a madman to stir it up.” : At any rate, add vinegar sparingly and ' beat the ingredients together anti! they are well blended. If you have a cruet or other bottle with a tight stop per, you can keep French dressing on hand all the time, simply shaking the bottle vigorously when ready to use the dressing.

Shakespeare Held as Leader of New Art The masterpieces of one art were produced at its birth. The theater was a new institution in the social life of Shakespeare’s youth, and the first playhouse built in England was not a dozen years old when the great poet arrived in London. The Middle ages had gratified its love of mimicry by miracle plays, which devolped into moralities and Interludes. The middle of the Sixteenth century Latin and Greek plays were crudely imitated In English, but of poetic. literary, romantic. Intellectual drama England knew practically nothing until Shakespeare was of age. "Here.’' it seems he must have said, “is a land Juist discovered —I shall be the leader of Its exploration." A young man of twenty-two, burdened with a wife and three children, he had left his home in his native town about 1586 to seek his fortune in the great city. He had few friends and no money. Though his ambition was to be an actor and to write his own plays he sought and won a Job as callboy at one of the newly founded theaters and was only after some delay promoted to humble duties on the stage itself. He tried his hand at the revision vt an old play, and the manager, recognizing the youth’s gift, aided him on his climb. But for seven or eight years he worked in obscurity and It was not until his “Romeo and Juliet" was produced “that he was hailed as the prophet of a new world of art—Kansas City Star. The Hone in History Domestic breeds of horses existed In Europe from prehistoric times. The first mention of the British horse occurs In ‘‘Caesar.’* Though used extensively in warfare and other pursuits, agriculture seems to have been the first use tp which horses were put The earliest suggestion that horses were used In agriculture is derived from a piece of Bayeux tapestry where the horse is represented as drawing a harrow.—Washington Star. Powerful Organiiation The American Bankers’ association has * membership of oyer 21,000 banks out of a reported total of 28.000 banks of all kinds in the country.

MH CLEAN HOUSE IS FIRST ESSENTIAL A clean house is the first essential in good poultry management. Thu cleaning should be done before the pullets are put in the house for the | winter, according to John Vandervort of the University of Illinois. Clean, healthy pullets cannot be expected to remain so if they are placed in a filthy ’ hen house which is likely to harbor worm eggs and disease germs, he points out “Nests, roosts, water dishes and other utensils should be taken out of the house and cleaned and then left in the sunlight Dropping boards should be cleaned and all litter and manure scraped from the floor. The floors, sidewalks and ceiling should then be swept, after which the interior of the house should be thoroughly scrubbed with hot water containing lye at the rate of one pourjd to 40 gallons of water. No disinfecting should be done until after the house has been thoroughly cleaned and allowed to dry out The tinal step includes replacing the fixtures and putting clean litter on the floor and material in the nests. Rouses should be cleaned and fresh material put in the nests monthly.” Preparing for Eggs in Cold Weather of Winter With the coming of colder weather and the necessity of getting the,pullets into winter quarters, poultry flock owners again are confronted with the matter of which ones to keepl. Pullets should be well grown and tiejalthy. I Pullets that are undersized or stunted are seldom If ever worthy of their feed. The balance of the flock between hens and pullets will be determined by conditions such as the number df pullets available. The average is about two-thirds pullets and one-third old hens, the pullets being kept sot winter egg production and the hens for breeding stock. ! As insurance against an outbreak of colds and disease in the poultry! flock, good housing and proper management of the flock are better and morp reliable than vaccination or any other r j medical treatment. Providing plenty of room in the poultry house is necessary to the health and productivity of the flock. Three to four squarefeet is the proper amount of floor space for each bird. Prevent Fall Troubles in Farm Poultry Flock One of the most common diseases of the poultry flock during the autumn i* roup. This disease is often found in damp, poorly ventilated houses and is most often contracted by birds that are poorly developed and of low vi- , tality. Fowls of this type fretpiently get roup and are the means of sipread- - Ing it throughout the flock. Obviously, prevention should consist of eliminating the weaklings from the .flock and providing a house that will be dry and , free from drafts, but well ventilated. An additional prevention pgainst : this disease is the following: Add as much potassium permanganate jas will remain on the surface of a ipme to each gallon of drinking water and! keep before the fowls. This actb as an antiseptic and will help to keep the birds iu good condition. An attempt to cure the individual of roup is Ihot ad-j visable, for. although in the majority of cases there may be an apparent cure, the danger of reinfection is greqt and frequently such birds cause the disease to spread throughout the flock. Don’t Wash Eggs experienced egg packers condemo ? the practice of washing eggs with either water or vinegar, most Severely because such eggs do not stand up io storage. The fact that the egjgs thus treated cannot be detected allow# many of them to go into storage with the result that when they are taken out of the coolers next fall and winter their poor quality will result Id lessened consumption. So don’t wash eggs for sale.—National Poultry, Butter and Egg Bulletin. Teach Chicks to Roost Many people make a mistake Id not teaching the young chickens to roost It is usually advisable to do this when the chicks are frofli eight to ten weeks of When they are allowed to sit on the floor it Is difficult to keep them clean and therg is a tendency for them to crowd on cold nights, which often results io loss. The chicks can usually be taught to roost by putting perches close to the floor and placing one or two old hens with them. Whitewash Formula Here is a standard formula for exterior whitewash which has been found satisfactory. Dissolve 12 pounds oi salt and 6 ounces of powdered alum tn about 4 gallons of hot water. Add 1 quart of molasses. Make a thick cream by thoroughly mixing 50 pounds (1 sack) of hydrated linfe, or 38 pounds bushel) of quicklime, thoo oughly slaked and screened before use, with about 7 gallons of hot water Add the clear solution to. the lime, stirring vigorously. To Tell Laying Hens The vent of a hen that is laying Is large, expanded and moist. In a hen that Is not laying the vent will b» small, puckered, dry and yellow. In yellow-skinned breeds, the yellow pig ment in the skin around the vent will fade but as she begins laying and return again soon after she stops. Ths vent of a laying hen is usually white or pink. The yellow color will alse be lost from the legs an< beak when the hen has been laying for eomi time.
