By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all problems pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he Is, without doubt, the highest authority on the subject. Address all Inquiries to William A. Radford, No 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. Every farm has its chicken house, but how many of these chicken houses are so built and equipped that the chicken raising will even pay for the time, labor and feed used, let alone make a real profit on the investment? You would be surprised to know how often the raising of chickens is an actual loss when figured on a real business basis. And it is all a matter of proper equipment plus proper han dling, just like any other part of the fanning. If you want a fair proportion of your chicks to live, want them to mature properly and lay well, then you must provide them not only plenty of good food but also suitable housing. The accompanying illustration and plan show how to build a chicken house that will help to make the chickens pay. The small details show the supports for roost, the feeder and the roost and dropping board as Indi cated on the plan.

Purchasing of a Home Needs Careful Thought Buying or building a home proves a greater task than anything ever tackled before, apparently, and the head of the family and the helpmate scrutinize with all their power to se leci that which will suit, the means, financially being foremost in the consideration. « • ? - In practically all instances, where a home is purchased, the real estate man or representative of or seller, personally, sets out the virtues of the home in particular. The good qualities are given in all of their ideals, the accommodations which are to be had in tlie home.itself and the locality are told of without reservation. It is a fact that many homes have been sold because of some peculiarity of the same, handsome fixtures, beau tiful approach, convenience to car line, fireplace, kitchen, light in the house, etc. Writers have stated that electric fixtures have attracted more attention than any other tiling, while others say that closets in homes have had wonderful effect. The statement has been made thgt many people who are looking over homes to purchase see more in fixtures and decorations than in Walls, foundations and construction. The eye of the wife is credited with many pur chases of homes. Something attracts her vision and a sale is almost con summated. While good construction, substantial foundations, walls, roofs and other work about a home are essential and there is no intent to In the least criticize, still there are many other tilings which hold out a strong persuasive hold and are carefully presented. Salesmanship is essential in many instances and it is this fact that firings out the qualities as above stated. decorations, fixtures, furnishings, doors, closets and so on. The greater uumber of people, It is pointed out, are interested in con ven letices and beauty; in short, many sales are rtfiide where the home attracts the eye.

Be Sure of Income, Then Buy Your Home It is ot primary importance that the home seeker has financial capacity to pay and that he should not undertake the purchase of a home ! until he is assured that the equity I which he has saved in that house is ■ of sufficient proportion to carry out his bargain. First of all he should ! loots to his mortgage market, and this usually contemplates both first • and second mortgage* market. ' Plaster Arch Gives Home Distinctive Air Plater arches, doorways, window openixigs and other exposed corners of the home can be easily and economically safeguarded from destructive bumps and bruises by the use of ex panded corner bead. The round nose is strongly rein forced by a groove that provides a bond for plaster. Another ihaterial. known to lathers s cornerite, is a practical and eeo uomlcal reinforcement for all inside

The plan shows a well laid-out space which makes it easy to take care of the chickens. It will be noted that ample windows are provided to make the inside of the house light and well ventilated. That is essential. Chickens do not thrive in dark, foul quarters any more than cattle do, or than human beings. You will also note that the Inside of the liouse is equipped with electric lights. Many farms have electricity these days and more are get ting it all she time. Lights inside the chicken house will, especially in the north, part of the country where days get very short In winter, materially increase the- laying. More light, more eggs. It pays. Awnings Add Touch of Color to House The most unusual artistic effects in exterior decoration are being obtained with awnings. No awnings so harmoniously colorful have ever before come into vogue as those now offered to the home owner. The secret of their peculiar charm lies in their original and exclusive scroll design, which blends appealing hues in such away that they become an integral part of the home architecture. Such a color treatment is lastingly beautiful and lends itself to appropriate use on every type of home.

Home buying is an important step in the life of any man, for it gives that feeling obtained in no other way. There are few men in the world who are not happy to walk up to and through his own door. The that a debt has been contracted on which there must be consideration given for many a day is overcome with the feeling of home owning. Casements of Steel Refine Newer Homes Distinction in the home is best arrived at by careful forethought in the assemblage of the seemingly unimportant detail features of design which in the aggregate make up the necessary components of tasteful small house architecture. Certainly nowhere in the home design do judgment, personality and good taste manifest themselves more conspicuously than in the choice of windows. • This in itselt accounts for the constantly increasing popularity of the steel casement for all the windows of the home. These windows, with their picturesque qualities reminiscent of the older architectures of Europe, achieve the distinction of simple good taste In their appropriateness to interior and exterior decorative schemes. Nor is the cost of modern and con venient steel window equipment beyond that of other types. Modern method of fabricating steel products and of efficiently distributing the manufactured products have reduced the cost to the. home owner. One type, in which the casements are made from specially designed hot rolled bars of rust.-resisting copper steel, is so manufactured that frames and sash give double weathering, obvi ating the usual requirements of weatherstripping. Hinges are of heavy pressed steel equipped with brass bushings, and are securely welded to frames, reinforcing the entire unit at the corners. Either extension or standard hinges may be obtained. Friction stays permit of easy ventilating. holding, the window at any point desired.

piaster corners. Formed from a sevenh /h-wide sheet of diamond metal lath, cornerite fits into the room corners and reinforces the plaster in all di rections. Both these materials employ the strength of steel to reinforce plaster a the points where it is most fre quently subject to strains or Shocks. By their use a great deal of the pos sibility of damage to expensive deco rations, is removed. ..nd the home owner is given the freedom of mind which goes’with plaster free from the bugbear of cracking. The Modem Stair The strength of the modern stair is due to the scientific way in which the individual parts are put tdgether. These are acurately machined at the factories and are sent directly to the job ready for assembly. In thia type of construction the floor stringers are housed out to receive the treads and risers, which are securely wedged into place, insuring permanent and squeak-proof stairs fo F the modern home

SLIVE STOCKS SELF-FED swine NOW PREFERRED (Prepared by th* United States Department of Agriculture.) Once in a great while the easy way of doing a thing proves to be the best way also. An instance of such a happy combination of “easy waybest way’’ conditions which should Appeal to all hog raisers is the method adopted by the United States Department of Agriculture in feeding and handling sows and litters during the suckling period. Sows and litters are now self-fed in preference to being hand-fed at the government farm as a result of conclusions formed from a three-year study of the two methods. The general plan of the test was to place the same kinds of feeds in separate compartmentr of a self-feeder for sows and litters being self-fed as were given to the hand-fed group. The hand-fed lows and litters were fed all they would readily clean up twice daily while the self-fed sows and litters had free access to the self-feeder at all times. The results of the three-year test Indicate that: Self-feeding sows and litters during the suckling period saves both labor and feed; the self-fed lot was more thrifty than the hand-fed lot; a total of 441 pounds of feed was required for 100 pounds of gain in the self-fed lots, while the handfed lots required 603 pounds; the pigs from the self-fed lots made greater daily gains from farrowing to weaning and also during the various tests in which they were subsequently used. It was noted also that no overcrowding of sows and pigs occurred at the self-feeders even where there was a large number of sows with litters in one lot. There is also less danger of overeating when feed is available at all times as is the case with self-feeding. Sows and litters may be put on the self-feeder as soon as the sow is on full feed after farrowing. The trials also indicated that 81 per cent of ■ sows from self-fed lots when bred I settled at the first service, as against 47 per cent for the hand-fed sows. Pasture Fattening for Cattle Is Satisfactory One usually gets better results in fattening cattle on pasture if he starts J on heavy grain feeding late in the . spring, at about the same time the J calves go on pasture. In other words, pasture is a very satisfactory roughage for fattening cattle at the beginI ning of the fattening period, but is not quite so satisfactory toward the close of the fattening peripjl. On a ration of corn or barley and alfalfa hay, your calves should gain from 1.8 to 2 pounds per head per day, so that from now until July 1. they should gain about 300 pounds and should be fat enough to sell right along with calves that had been on grain or hay last fall or at least they should be nearly as good as calves that were put on grain and hay last fall because these calves should have done quite well in the cornfield as long as they have had plenty of corn. JJ-4—4—4—4—::^^::-4-4—4—4—S » Live Stock Facts ff-4—4—4—4—H^^-4—4—4—4—» Alfalfa is one of the greatest of hog feeds. • • • Alfalfa hay is one of the best feeds available for breeding ewes. • • • A place in the barn where the lambs can eat by themselves seems to please their fancy. < • • • Much of the loss in fall pigs-is due to rickets caused by the absence of direct sunlight. • • • Calves should be placed in stanchions so that they can only drink their own feed. • • * Beef cattle for slaughter and as Stockers and feeders seem reasonably certain to find a market in 11)28 that will average higher than in 1927, although the peak prices may not be so high. • • • At the Indiana station they substituted soy beans for tankage with fairly good’ results whenever they use a mineral mixture. Without a mineral mixture in the ration soy beans give poor results. • • « Bucks compose 60 to 65 per cent of the cull lambs that are marketed, assert authorities at the Missouri College of Agriculture. Proper docking and castrating wiU increase the value of the animals. • • • Navel and joint disease is the great danger in colt raising. A serum against it is now available. When hauling cattle to market by ■ truck, put sand on the floor to keep their feet" from slipping. Straw is un- ■ fit for this purpose, as it lets their feet slip. • • • There is no question but what sweet clover hay and sweet clover silage if they are moldy may contain poison for cattle, and this should be guarded against with the greatest precaution. As the calt grows the feeding can be slightly increased and skim milk can gradually take the place of part of the whole milk. • • • Vegetable protein such as is contained In cotton seed meal Is best for cattle and sheep, while the animal protein of tankage is best for hogs. • • • Generally ewes carrying twins are affected. It seems that such ewes will eat more coarse dry feed than is good for them. Exercise seems to pre vent this trouble.

POULTRY TACTS • MEAT SCRAPS OR MILK IN RATION Home-grown feeds should be used as much as possible in the ration of the farm flock, but grain feeds should be balanced with milk or meat scraps ’ or both, says George Ghostley, poultry specialist of the agricultural extension service of the University of Minnesota. Ground feed called mash, as well as grain, is necessary. The following will give good results, he says: ! Grain—Cracked yellow corn, two parts: wheat, one part, and heavy oats ‘ a half part. Mash—One hundred parts each of bran, middlings, ground yellow corn, ground oats, and meat scrap, three parts each of salt and charcoal. Milk is an extremely valuable food ; for poultry—more valuable even than for hogs. Feed skim milk or butter- ; milk if possible. Reduce the meat scrap one-half if there is milk before the birds all the time. If they have milk only to drink the meat scrap can be scrapped entirely, particularly if 5 per cent more bonemeal is added to the mash. ; One pint of cod liver oil to each hundred pounds of mash, mixed first with charcoal and then with the other i ingredients, makes a valuable addition to the ration. The raash should be | before the hens in hoppers or feeders all the time. More grain than mash should be fed during the cold weather with the reverse the case in summer. Feed lightly of grain in the morning. Warm water, oyster shell, grit and green or succulent feed such as alfalfa or Clover leaves, mangels, carrots, cabbage, cull potatoes, rutabagas or sprouted oats should be furnished. Changes should be made gradually. White Hollands From Original Wild Turkey White Hollands are thought to have originated from sports of the original wild turkeys, and perpetuated by selection and breeding. In fact, some information leads to the belief that the White Hollands were perfected in Europe, where rangi was restricted and nomadic habits most desirable, and . then later returned to America by ■ some of the early Dutch settlers. This | may be largely based on- the docile, I domestic temperament, characteristic ' of White Hollands, which would indicate the restricted areas of Europe of that day, rather than America. Too, | White Hollands are said to have been i fairly well-known in England early in the Nineteenth century, and it may be due to their foreign invasion so to ; speak, that they were later to become ! well known in the land of their nativity, than were some \>f the other standard varieties which were perfected in America. - IKeep Poults Hungry for First 48 Hours Anyhow Turkey poults should not be fed anything the first 48 hours after hatching. If they have free range, they will pick up some seeds and insects, which will vary the amount and kind of feed that may be needed after 48 hours. It is best always to keep them just hungry enough so they will be hunting feed and getting the exer- ! cise that is required for best growth and livability. Hard-boiled eggs chopped fine and mixed with cornbread crumbs have been found generally satisfactory the first week, after which whole wheat and hulled oats are good. Keep them out of wet grass until they are well along. Three litters of eggs per year are generally . about all that will be satisfactory to j hatch, because late-hatched poults are likely to be less thrifty. Kill Harmful Mites > Mites do not live on the chickens by day, but come out and suck their fill of blood when the birds are roosting. First the poultry house must he cleaned thoroughly. Trash, nesting material, etc., should be taken out and burned. Then go over the whole house thoroughly with crude petroleum or carbolineum, using either a spray pump or brush to supply the material. Petroleum is cheaper but the carbolineum gets into the cracks better and lasts longer. Geese for Breeding It is inadvisable to dispose of an older goose and keep young geese for breeding purposes, provided the older bird is In good health. Young geese will often lay during their first year, but the eggs are usually infertile and , the number produced is seldom as ; high as would be produced by an. old- j er female. Females es the Canadian breeds do not lay, as a rule, until they are three years old, but females of any of the breeds may be kept for breeding. Eggs for Chicks Eggs that are tested out of incubators up to the 14th day make -good feed for young chicks if properly prepared. They should be boiled for at least 30 minutes so as to kill all germs that may be in them. Then pulverize them in a jar or some container, using a square stick that will thoroughly mix the contents and pulverize the shell as well as the interior portions. The only danger in feeding eggs lies in not cooking them long enough or overfeeding. High Protein Feeds Meat meal or meat scraps are high protein feeds and are found in most chick mashes or laying mashes. They are used in connection with dried buttermilk in many feeds to furnish the animal protein which is tn grains. Experiments have shown that chicks or laying hens do better when supplied with airimal' protean to balance up the protein and other ingredients found tn grains. Be sure that these products are all cleans fresh and sweet.

Tobacco C<?- x Expect Banded Birds to Explain Mystery Bird enthusiasts, who wish to help solve the mysteries of bird migration, will have plenty of employment trying to get returns on the 270.900 birds that have been banded under the auspices of the United States biolog ical survey. Returns on banded birds, according to Frederick C. Lincoln, in charge of this activity of the survey, now amount to 10,338 cases. Know! ’ edge of the movements of the bird after its first banding, gained from these return reports, enables ornithologists to get precise information concerning bird migration, a mystery that has puzzled mankind since the time of Aristotle. Ducks supply the most returns, Mr. Lincoln said. This Is undoubtedly due to the fact that many banded waterfowl are taken by . the millions of h.unters in the field during the hunting season. PromiOent among the bird problems of eco notnic interest which banding may be expected to solve, Mr. Lincoln points out, is the control of red-winged blackbirds that do much damage to the rice crop of the South and of California In late summer and early fall. —— Ask for SUNSHINE RAISINS; contain Iron, Vitamines, Real Energy, at your grocer’s. —Adv.

Doctor at 83 Found People Preferred His Prescription

The basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell left ■ Medical College in 1875,. nor since he placed on the market the laxative prescription he had used in his practice, known to druggists and tlie public since 1892, as Dr. Caldwell’s SyrupPepsin. - Then, the treatment of constipation, biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions that result from constipation was entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which is a combination of senna and other mild laxative herbs, with pepsin. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. If grown people want to use them no one can deny them the privilege, but they should never be given to children. The simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and for you, and the. better for the general health of all. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. C’’' Syrup Pepsin, why take
