By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice EREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to practical home building, for the readers of this paper. Obaccount of his ■wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, -ie >s. without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects address all Inquiries to William A. Radford.

Little did the designers of what we know as tiie colonial home realize that they . were setting a style that would be most popular with home builders three hundred years Inter and would best .meet the needs of an age when build ing costs would be such as to make it important that all the space in the house be utilized. Also the designers of colonial homes little thought that their idea of making an unusually large living room would be adopted by twentieth century home builders. For it is undoubtedly this feature of the colonial design which appeals to modern home owners. The home building design illustrated in connection with this article is one >*■ J IH-SO'cr' — H hS* Knumtr ' noupi| a-crx n-«>’ K. 9 H UvingWj he l2 '°' x23or W B ig'O'x i4'&' -X- ILU* First Floor Plan. that will appeal to all prospective home builders who want an attractive roomy house at the lowest possible cost. For it is well known amfing professional builders that a home •either square or rectangular, the out- , side walls of which are without jogs or projections, is the most economical to build. As will be seen by the floor

Basement Can Be Made 1 Into Useful Quarters Basements, if they are dry and well constructed, lend themselves to pleasant uses. Many owners of small homes fit them up as radio rooms and workshops for the boys, or as dancing Tooms with music provided by phonograph or radio. And there’s no reason why this shouldn’t be done to provide for “elbow room” for the whole family and to enhance the value of the property. Such a remodeling scheme can be worked out by the owner at small cost. First, partitions should be laid out, Two by-four timbers may be bolted to the cement floor, or, more simply, they may be laid on the surface and •“sflimmed” after the studs are put up, to hold the partition in place. Other two-by-fours should be nailed to the joists of the ceiling. Then studs should be erected between the two rows of two-by-fours and the surface material should be attached to these ®tuds. Few householders would care to undertake the work or the expense of lathing and plastering basement partitions and ceilings. t If this is the case, wallboard may be used. This can be bought tn lengths sufficient to reach from floor to° ceiling, thereby eliminating waste. Since it can be sawed and nailed just like wood, it may be put by the nouseholder himself, and tne ceiling may be finished in the same way. This material can be decorated with paper, calcimine, flat wall paint or the

Insulation of Home Is Done by Many Methods With the appreciation by the American home owner and home builder of the money-savings and comfort-giving possibilities of home insulation has come the development of various Insulating materials until an exhibit of them would look almost like a schoolroom display of materials quaint and curious. There is, for example, an insulating material made of a seaweed called “eel grass.” Another is manufactured Into a semi-rigid board from the waste fibers of sugar cane. Still another is what is called “spun limestone.” Others are made from cork, wood fibers, gypsum, etc. Ono of the most interesting is a cellular gypsum that comes in a powdered form and that is mixed with water before it is installed. When the water is mixed Into this gypsum insulator a gas is released. This gascauses the mass to swell and rise very much in the manner that bread rises. In this swollen state the material is installed. Then it “sets” (hard-

plans of this house, it is 24 feet deep and 30 feet long, the foundation walls being exactly straight. This type of | home requires a minimum number of I lineal feet oi foundation wall and likewise a minimum amount of roof, two features of homes which are I costly. This house is of the true colonial | type with the exception of the slight I roof projection extending out halfway Sy i | /&’6’’XU’o"ll U—IT7I I tfOTtW I \ CLO. \ I \ I if —J \lj Second Floor Plan. to the eaves, u built-in projecting entrance porch and an open porch at • the end. Take off these three features and you have a nearly square two> gable colonial house. The house contains six rooms. The entrance doo* leads to a central hall i which divides .the first floor exactly ; into two parts. At the right through a cased opening, is the living room. 23 feet deep and 12 feet wide. At the > left also through a cased opening is the dining room at the front, which is also 12 feet long and 14 feet 6 inches deep. Back of the dining room is the kitchen with a large breakfast nook at one end. On the second floor opening off a central hall are three bedroomsand the bathroom. Each of the bedrooms is a corner room while the hath is convent- I ently located with relation to all of them." There is an abundance of closet i space on the second floor, a feature | that will appeal to all housekeepers. I This home is of frame construction i with clapboard siding. It is set on a i concrete foundation and has attractive i brick steps. The fan shaped curve of the entrance porch roof is another i desirable colonial home feature.

heavy-bodied paints that give rough surface effects, so that the new basement rooms may be as attractive as those above stairs. Weathervane Adds Interest to Chimney In olden times the weathervane above a man's house was apt to designate his occupation. The fisherman would show a dolphin, the sailor a sailboat, the hunter a bow and arrow. But now that knowledge of wind and weather are scientifically given newspaper and radio, weathervanes are less serious things, and usually point out the householder’s avocation . . . his favorite pastime. So the golfer chooses to put a miniature silhouette of h.mself above his house; the painter places a palette and brushes; the aviator may choose an airplane. Effects in Brick A “symphony in color” is a term that has been aptly used to describe the charming effects secured by builders of face brick homes. So many shades and textures have been made available that each home is given an Individuality of its own through the clever and yet careful planning of the wall construction Metal Metal lath is being used more and more by contractors building tine small homes because it prevents cracking of plaster when the house settles, as it is bound to do.

ens). The result is an insulating ! blanket of a lightweight rock that is literally honeycombed with myriads of tiny dead air cells, which are the things that perform the service in insulation. Virtualy all of the insulating materials mentioned are effective fuel savers and comfort givers when in use. Insulation in Home Prevents Dampness The constantly changing temperatures of all seasons will work no hardship on you or your family if you live in a well-insulated home. When the driving rtiin comes your home will be free from dampness and the annoyance and expense of moisture-stained walls! insulating lumber in the walls arid roofs makes the home uniformly comfortable from the ground floor to the attic in all seasons of the year. Bath Tubs Combination bath tubs need little space to install and are thoroughly up to date.

POULTRY ♦EKTS ♦ SOY BEANS USEFUL IN LAYING RATION J ~~ Vegetable Protein Concentrates Used in Test. Recent experiments with the use of vegetable protein concentrates have shown that a complete or at least a partial substitution may be made. The work has been largely with cottonseed ai«l soy bean meal with little if any work on ground soy beans. The , success of these vegetable protein con- . centrates depends upon two factors. , First a larger amount Is necessary in the mash because they do not run as high in protein as do meat scrap and i tankage. Second, since they are low I in mineral, additional mineral must be added to make up for this deficiency. The Missouri agricultural experiment station has fed the following mash to ■ | laying hens: Brail 22 lbs. : Shorts 22 lbs. ; I Corn meal 22 lbs. i I Cottonseed or soy bean meal... 30 lbs. I Bone meal 4 lbs. I I Salt 1 lb. | ■ The above mash constituted about I one-third of the ration. It was kept i I before the hens all the time and in | : addition a moist, crumbly mash was i fed.once daily. No meat or milk was j employed in the diet. The balance of the ration consisted of corn and oats and regular methods of feeding hens were employed. Oyster shells or limestone rock was before the bens all j ■ the time. Such a ration produced as many ■ I eggs per hen as did similar rations in I which the mash contained 20 per cent I I meat scrap or tankage instead of the I cottonseed or soy bean meal. The results were not satisfactory unless the bone meal and' salt was added. A year’s test with ground soy beans i failed to produce quite as many eggs as did cottonseed meal. This may be l due to the fact that the ground beans were higher in fat and as a result the • ration’ was not properly balanced. A partial substitution may be made and the following mash is recommended: i Bran 24 lbs. Shorts .. . .................... 24 lbs. Cornmeal 24 lbs. Ground -soy beans 15 lbs. : Tankage 10 lbs. Bone meal 2 lbs. i Salt 1 lb. I This should be kept in open troughs before the hens all the time and fed tile same as any regular laying mash. It may be that a larger percentage of the beans may be used but it is ad- ; visable to await further investigation I before following this practice. I Direct Sunlight for Layers Is Essential A simple, inexpensive and effective : way to secure direct sunlight for the i layers is to fill in about ten square i feet of space at the south side of the ■ house with an eight-inch layer of I cinders. The space may well be enl closed to keep the fowls from con- . ! taminated soil. In exposed locations it may be necessary to provide a wind break of some kind. Chickens ' dislike wind and will stay inside to avoid it. Cinders are especially effective. Because of their jlark color they absorb heat from the sun. causing any snow or ice to melt with the first appearj ance of sunshine. This permits the birds to get out on the warm, dry cinders and bask in the direct sunshine even thopgh the ground is still wet ; and cold. | . Feeding New Corn Where there is a shortage of corn that is dry enough to grind, a mash ! that will serve quite well for a short i period of feeding can be made up of I the following ingredients: 100 pounds ■ of ground oats, 10 pounds of tankage or meat scraps and one pound of salt. : If barley is available. 50 pounds bar- i i ley and 50 pounds of oats are better than using oats alone. /This mash ' should not be fed as a permanent laying ration, however, but just as an ■ emergency ration. Pullets Begin Laying i As a rule, pullets lay more eggs I during their first laying season than during any subsequent season. Consequently, if hatches are correctly timed so that plenty of pullets will be brought to maturity some time dur- | ing the latter part of September, a banner winter egg season is bound to follow. Pullets hatched during February or March, according to breed, should . begin laying just about the right time for winter eggs when prices are highest. Gapeworms Kill A poultryman in Washington, D. C., lost 75 per cent of several hundred chicks from gapes. Investigation | showed that this loss resulted from the use of one of the poultryman’s fields, for about 24 hours, as a resting place for a flock of turkeys being driven overland. The chickens became infested by gapeworms left by j the turkey flock. In addition to pro- 1 ducing the noticeable symptoms of gaping, by obstructing the windpipe the chicks did not thrive. i Useful Self-Feeder The self-feeder is another indispensable article in up-to-date poultry keeping. Laying hens must have mash containing high protein feeds and selffeeders furnish the only satisfactory way of giving this mash to the flock. Some poultrymen feed no whole grain whatever, only mash, and under this system the birds get their entire ration from self-feeders. Open troughs are wasteful for mash feeding and do not permit the small birds to get their : share.

I GENTLE TEMPERED BULL IS TREASURE Proper Handling of Calf Helps Animal Later On. From lime tc. time press reports tell of another “quiet” bull which went wrong and somebody was hurt, or killed. A really good-tempered bull is a treasure (and there are a few), but only a herdsman of 20 or 30 years’ • experience can be reasonably sure he I knows a quiet bull. Proper handling ; of the calf which is destined to become 1 a herd sire is the only known method ’ of producing an animal which will be easy to handle when mature. Many a good bull has been sent to slaughter, and many a man met his death through careless handling or rough treatment when a bull was young. Miss Tucker, the experienced manager of a large herd of Red Polls in Wor- !' cester. England, offers some sage advice on this subject in a recent issue of the “Journal of the Red Poll ' Breed.” Kindness should always he j the keynote of the training of young ■ bulls. They can be very aggravating, , but on no account hit a bull, for he will remember it and sooner or later try to pay you back. If the bull has I been frightened sooth him quietly, always aiming to maintain his eonfij dence in you. The same person should always handle him, at least during his schooling. When old enough, see that the ringing is done properly and that the ring is well back. Never attempt • to handle a hull with blood or any of- ! fensive smelling materials on your hands or clothes. Wash such things ' off or cover them with disinfectant. j Teach him to let you handle his legs. If he has a tendency to kick let him hit the bristles of a wire broom. Never let him think that you feflr him. If the bull persists in a surly mood, a sharp twist of the ring, and tleing his head higher than usual for a while should mend matters. Persistent kindness will always win, while ill-treat-i ment will only make matters *yorse. Price of Beef Checks Expansion of Dairying The relation between the price of beef and the price of milk has an important influence on the number and age of the milk cows in the United States, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. This relation, says O. E. Reed, chief of the bureau of dairy industry, affects both the age at which milk cows are sold for slaughter and the number of beeftype cows milked. “Because of the present prices of beef,’’ he comments, “dairymen are culling their low pro- • ducers and aged cows to make room for the heifers just coming into milk. Indications are that for the next few years the price of beef will be an important factor in restricting the expansion of dairying, and the-number of cows milked is expected to show little increase for several years. The i gradual increase in the demand for milk due to increasing population seems likely to result in prices averaging sufficiently above feed costs to permit a gradual further increase in the production of milk per cow.” Cow Must Have Protein for Production of Milk Practical experience is in accord with research work done at a number ; of experiment stations. In a comparison between linseed meal and ground soy beans when fed with corn and oats, grqjmd beans produce fully as ■ much milk and fat as when linseed meal is fed. This indicates that dairymen who must purchase a protein supplement may well consider the use of soy beans when the ground beans are as cheap or cheaper than linseed ; meal. The dairy cow must have protein to produce milk. As this is the i most expensive ingredient in the ra- ; tion the cheaper it can be procured the lower the feed cost is likely to be. Remodeled Dairy Barns Render Better Service Old barns made new by being properly remodeled or repaired will render good service to many dairymen who are now struggling along with poor equipment. Evet, a shed which is rebuilt so as to provide good floors, stanchions, ventilation, sunshine and warmth will be worth while. Dairy cows will pay better returns for improved conditions than practically any other type of live stock on the farm. In addition, the owner spends more time with the cows than with most other types of live stock, so that be will sffare in the added comfort and convenience. Silage for Calf Silage is not very good for calves j under four months of age and then only the leafy parts should be fed in small amounts. Very often young stock is neglected and not kept in a growing condition. A heifer must be I well fed with a light feed of grain. A cow in order to be able to con- ' some large quantities of feed must be fed while young all the good roughage she will take so as to develop a large capacity for feed which will be needed wh«n she comes in milk. Keep Separator Clean A cream separator should be washed each time it is used. All parts of the bowl and supply tank should be rinsed with cold water and then placed in lukewarm water containing washing soda. A brush should be used to remove dirt from the cracks z and creidces. After washing, scald the parts with boiling waiter or use a satisfactory chemical disinfectant. Place the parts in a dust-free place to dry and to protect from contamination.

Orchard H BATTLE AGAINST PLUM CURCULIO Postharvest Measures Suggested to Protect Peaches. (Prepared by the United States Department . of Agriculture.) If there has been a very heavy infestation of the “plum curculio” in the peach orchard this season it will pay to protect the next peach crop by postharvest applications of lead arsenate suggests the bureau of entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture. This Will reduce the number of beetles in the fall before they go into hibernation and while they are forced to feed on the foliage. Two applications of a dust contain Ing 10 per cent lead arsenate and per cent hydrated lime should be used, making the first treatment four weeks after the harvest of the latest variety of peaches, followed, by a second ap plication two weeks later. The first application should not be made sooner than four weeks after harvest, as for several weeks following the harvest the curculio feeds considerably on the fruit left in the orchard. Bostharvest applications of lead arsenate as a liquid spray should not be used af’gr the regular ‘ liquid sprays have been given on the fruit, on account of foliage injury. Since many curculios winter as adult beetles in woodland and similar cover adjacent to and near peach orchards, the burning over of such places, during the winter months undoubt*-(i!y destroys many beetles and is a valuable supplementary control measure wherever the curculio has been particularly troublesome. Most of the hibernation takes place within 200 or 300 yards of the orchard, so the burning over of wooded areas should not be extended beyond that distance. Great care should be taken not to let the fire escape. Under some conditions burning may be objectionable from the standpoint of injury to young forest growth. Vegetation on terrace rows and along ditch banks and fences in and near the orchard* should also be burned or grubbed out. Bermuda grass is especially likely to harbor a large number of beetles. Prunings, rubbish, and brush piles should not be left in the orchard during the winter, j Government Formula for Poisoning Rodent Pests The government formula for poison ing rabbits is as follows: Mix on* tablespoonful of starch in half a cup ful of cold water and stir Imo ony pint of boiling wafer to make a thin dear paste. Mix one ounce of strych ■ nine witii one ounce of powdered hi carbonate of soda (baking soda) anc 1 stir with the starch to a smooth ■ creamy mass. Stir in one cupful of table salt. Apply to 12 quarts of gooc • clean oats, or corn, and mix thorough I ly so as to coat each kernel. The above should be portioned on’ in places where rabbits are most likely to find it. It will also clean up mice or any other animal that eats it. In this connection, oye should always have in mind the welfare of domestic animals. In putting out poison, there is only one meal eaten by the pests it is intended for: so after those whe have been frequenting the place are cleaned up there is often a surplus left over, that may lie for a long time be forgotten, but still retain enough strength to kill anything that eats it in enough quantity. Cats and dogs are sometimes killed through eating rabbits or birds that have been ■ poisoned. i Horticultural Hints | Why Is alfalfa a profitable crop? It increases farm values. • • * Fruit trees and fruit plants should • be set immediately upon receipt from the nursery. ♦ * * Canker infection of apple trees usually follows severe late woolly aphis infestations. » • • Fruit should not be picked before it has attained fair size and color because the grower cannot generally sell it to advantage. •»* , ■ The apple growers who are main tainrng their orchards are getting, as a rule, more fruit and better quality fruit from their trees. * « * The Illinois peach crop this year was of sufficient size to place it second in the list of fresh peach producing states, a position it has never held before. » . • * • It is well to apply the strawberry mulch when the ground Is quite well frozen,, for at that time less dainagf is done in hauling the straw, since the wheels of the wagon do not cut in, • * * In milder climates, December Is th best month of the year in which ti apply the strawberry mulch, for if it . is applied sooner, the plants may not |>e really dormant and unless the plants are actually dormant, it is too early to apply Mie mulch. Ordinarily the only time of year | that rabbits hurt young trees is during the winter when other food is i scarce or covered with snow. Methods of fertilizing apples are about the same as for peaches. However, the amount per tree is greater since the trees are further apart. * * • Black raspberries and blackberries are commonly grown on a wire trellis, although stakes can be used. The black raspberry propagates from the tip of the current season's growth.

MAXEY A Master Speech-Highway THE busiest loug-distantA speech ’lighwyy in America, according to the records, is that one which speeds up talking by wire between New York city and Piiiladelpnia—a distance of about 100 miles. So greqt tins been the*demand for telephone, service between these two great aggregations of humanity that calls are made at the rate of about eight per minute or about 10.000 every 24 hours—some 200 telephone circuits being kept busy day and night. Four underground cables, each enclosing hundreds of wires, in addition to two wire-and-pole lines, are required to carry these messages and a fifth cable probably will be placed in service by the time this appears in print. The underground rallies used in | this service jtre ingenious contrivances. I'liey are cvnsiiieted stormproof, Insulated against daiupn s and encased in a sheath ot lead Although less than three inches in diameter, a. sufficient nun et of wires can be paqketf into one 0 them to permit 250 telephone conversations and 500 telegraph messages to be .transmitted I at ’he same time —bv virtue ot a special apparatus which makes passible the sending ot tnan\ messages over comparatively few wires. The amazing deni mil and consequent rapid increase tn facilities tof overcoming the ham icup ot distance Is here illustrated to the nth degree. The first telephone service between, these points was 1 'stalled tn ISSS. Doubting Thomases tegarded the service as an experiment which might i develop -nro a convenience, but never, would develop into a necessary service ■to the public. . * *f * “The Greatest bridge in the World” AMASTODONIC bridges, officially known as the Hudson River bridge, but referred to as “The Greatest Bridge in the World." whi<*h will cut the air high above the waters of this famous and lon'ly stream between the Palisades of New Jersey and Riverside drive. New York, Is under construction. In an attempt to < ope with the probable traffic dem ,nd .of future generations. man tins dared: to Intild a bt iilce ot such gigantic proportions as to stagger the imagination. The bridge proper will jump the river in a single span 3,51X1 feet long, while its length, exclusive of the ornate pluztis which are Planned ”or either end. will be 7.SUO feet. Its two, [hers, resting on bed rock, will each be 210 by 05 leet at base ami tower 635 feet above the water and its floor, which will be 2->.‘ feet above the water, will have an ultimate width of ISS feet. The weight of the suspended construction will approximate 90.000 tons, supported by cables containing 26,474 wires each and three feet thick. The design adopted admits of expanding the capacity as necessity demands. Originally, its one deck will carry four lanes of vehicular traffic and two sidewalks. Later, two 24foot roadways can be added. FNnll.v, a second deck can be swung under the first one, providing for from two to eight tracks for rapid transit service, bringing the maximum capacity ot the structure up to something like 30.000.000 vehicles annually. All toll), this, is one ot the most difficult construction feats yet attempted by man. The Moffat Tunnel AFTER years of tedious boring through .six miles of solid rock ; and the expenditure of about SISOOO,(Xio—the Moffat tunnel, carrying twin steel rails through the backbone of this continent, fifty miles northwest of Denver, was completed in J ;, 28. This is the highest tunnel in rhe world—being upwards of a mile and a half above the waters in the seas. ' , notwithstanding which some of the l peaks of rhe Continental Divide tower half a mile above rhe track, ft measures 16 feet by 24 feet and was ' built with a bigh-poinr at the center so that seepage water would readily ■ drain away. It is 23 miles shorter and 2.400 feet lower than the prei viou's mute which squirmed over "The Divide” througff that bleak capyon known as Rollins Pass. This tunnel promises to become a national asset of no mean importance. It provides a gateway between a rer- ; ritory in Northeastern Colorado and Eastern Utah—that is larger than France and, ’Us claimed, holds enough I coal to supply this country for several centuries, oil shale beds capable of producing enough ammonium sulphate to fertilize all the farms in the Mississippi basin, btlliflns ot feet : of timber and millions of acres <>f pub- ! lie lands open to entry—and some 4().<MM).(XX> persons who people that great area between the Rockies and the Alleghenies. When the railroad Is completed to Salt Lake City it will materially shorten the distance between Denver nnd the Pacific const and will thus operate to speed Up transcontinental traffic.
