By W. 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 ojf this paper On account of his w;ide experience as editor author and manufacturer, he is. without doubt, the highest authority on the subject. Address ail inquiries to William A. Radford, No 407 South Dearhorn Street, Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. It often has been said that more farm machinery rusts out than wears out. In this day of power farming it is economy for every farmer to have a good weather-tight house for his machinery and the equipment that goes with' it, and also a room where the more simple repairs can be made. Shown in (he illustration is an excellent design for a modern machinery shed and repair shop. This building is of good construction, hut is not expensive. It is a simple two-gabled one-story farm hijilding. stands on a concrete foundation and should have a concrete floor. However, many farmers do not go to the expense of laying concrete in the storage space, but a concrete floor is pretty much a necessity in the repair shop. The continuous sliding doors at the front of the building permit the storage of the larger of the modern farm machines without trouble. At the same time these doors close tightly, which keeps out weather and the birds which are a nuisance around machinery. The building is GO feet long and 22 feet wide. In connection with the floor plans are elevations and crosssections together with a number of details which ivill enable farmers themselves or a local contractor to erect this building. The cross-section gives dimensions of the materials used, the thickness of the floor and

Millwork for Home Is Factor in Its Beauty In the construction of beautiful, substantially-built homes, much has been said about the good work of the plumber, the concrete maker, the roofer and the insulator, but little has been told concerning the millworker’s important contribution, according to recent remarks piade by general contractors. I It is said that public opinion seems to have taken for granted that frames, sashes, doors, interior trim, cabinet work. etc., can be easily manufactured by anyone regardless of skill. Builders state, however, if there were * no skilled millwbrkers, the ugliness of most of the woodwork would cause a domestic drawback if not a severe backset. Dining Alcove in Small Home Is Popular Now Following,the modern trend in construction. except in unusually large homes, the dining room, once called the most essential room in the house. ,j is becoming more and more a nonessential. Especially in the small house, the Apartment and the bungalow.of few rooms, the dining room is being replaced by the dining alcove, or breakfast room as it used to be called. The space once devoted to the dining room

Paper Does Not Take Place of Insulation Good building paper should not be confused with insulation. While it has insulating value per inch it is more n resistant to air leakage than to heat flow. If one wants a warm house one can be sure that building paper will play its valuably part in its construction, hut it does not take the place of insulation —it is rather an important addition. . Paint the Closets, Is Advice of Experts Today our closets may be dressed up so that we will be so proud ofthem we' shall want to throw them open for inspection. Paint gives a never-failing meaps of bringing both color and cleanliness into the closet. The use of the quick drying lacquers gives a most interesting choice of colors with the addition of a hard, enamel like surface which is very easily cleaned and which dries so quickly that painting up need not be a matter of days of da-

the depth of the footings to" get below the frost line. |. The average investment in machinery on the modern farm runs into the thousands of dollars. It will readily be seen that if tlie depreciation on this machinery can he cut in half, the sav- | ing will soon pay for a building such as this. Then there is the added advantage of always having the machinDetails Os ['JxfmW Olidi n g Doors And Jambs rfM ■ ill £—-Lskkil I I I II ill VW?™ 11X11 VBoTTQM RAIL /<P*x6’« Elcv - Of STiller Check Check ./&«;■ ■> \.J / ~ Pa,l Rail—\F=£Z2| |3i vle L v I * j • --■■■- x t-p'.-, TRUSSeoRAFTtIRS X.

The time factor is becoming more and more recognized ‘ on farms. When the machinery is in “tip-top” condition ready for work, advantage can be taken at various seasons of favorable weather, whereas the delay of a day or so might make a tremendous difference in the farm income.

| might easily be devoted to a library I or sewing room combined. The kitchen, that necessity in every ■ home of whatever size, should be so , placed that the smoke and odors from i the cooking foods are carried away ! . from the rest of the house. Thus it would in many cases be at the north- : ern end of the place, where the pre- | vailing winds in our climate at least j would blow the aromas away from the ; other rooms. The kitchen may very happily he designed toward the front of the house, ■ especially if the house faces north, i and there can be no possible objection j to such a design. The service entrance may he at rhe side of the building, the drying room and the service yard being inclosed within a lattice wall, a stbne wall or a high hedge. Rough Stipple Finish Good for Plain Room A rough stipple is - an..unusual wood treatment which would be suitable in a plain room and with furniture of a somewhat heavy or massive type. To obtain this finish a little plaster of paris is mixed with the final coat of paint which is applied in the usual way and stiopled. The rougiiness of the mixture causes little projections of the paint to remain in the finish. A glaze coating (which is usually wiped over) is sometimes spread over the rough coating.

| lay. The scheme of a closet may be planned either to offer harmony or contrast with the room to which it belongs. Shellac Useful for Interior Trim Finish Shellac, a spirit varnish, is useful for m.ost interior trim finishing. Its proper uses are not generally understood as is evidenced by its frequent application where it actually causes ! damage. Again on surfaces where it should be employed, an unfair advantage is taken of certain of its virtues. Plain Wall Paper Is Thing of Past; Gay Now The day of plain wall paper is past and in accordance with modern tendencies the future vogue will be in bright and contrasting colors, printed in modernistic straightline designs. This was the forecast set forth by Justin P. Allman, president of the National *Wallpaper Wholesalers’ association, at its annual dinner held in Chicago.

Around® AID QUALITY BY PROPER PRUNING Treatment at Regular Intervals Helps All Crops. (By L. C. WILLIAMS, Extension Horti- j culturist, Kansas State Agricultural College.) General thinning out of the fruit I wood should be practiced each year to i increase the size and quality of fruit, j Trees that are given a moderate amount of pruning at regular intervals j will usually produce more profitable I crops than those that are pruned \ heavily and then neglected. . The best tools to use -for thorough I pruning are a pruning saw of the j swivel, replaceable blade type and a pair of hand shears. Extreme care i should be taken in making all cuts i close and smooth. Stubs should not be ! left as they delay healing and cause i decay. /Lil wounds more than one inch in diameter should be covered with paint or other noninjurious substance that will protect the tree against decay. White lead and raw linseed oil combined make one of tAe best paints There are exceptions to all pruning rules, but in general all dead or badly diseased branches, no longer fruitful, should be removed. Branches which i crowd or rub other more desirable branches should be taken out. Severe heading i>ick should not be practiced except with very young trees or in the case of old peach which may respond to “topping back” or “dehorning” as it is sometimes called. There seems to be a general itnpres- -■ sion that cherry trees should not be pruned. In spite of that belief, by far the best cherries produced are grown i on trees which are given a good thin- ; ning each year. Pruned trees will live ’ longer, for they may be sprayed to better advantage in controlling the cherry leaf spot. Cherries may be pruned in about the same manner as apples except that the cherry tree should not be headed back. Grape vines should be pruned before growth starts in the spring. As a general rule, four canes of new wood should be left for each vine. These canes should be 10 to 12 buds long. This “long cane” system as it is called will yield at least a third more grapes than the short cane or spur system. Mulch for Strawberries Applied in December Most of the strawberry bedsSfeare mulched, of course, by this time, but I have noticed in past years even well into December that some beds receive no mulching whatever, says a writer in an exchange. This is a mistake if the maximum of fruit production is to be expected from the strawberry beds, and even though it may be December and it looks like mulching at so late a date would be nonsense, still in the majority of cases a considerable benefit m:iy be derived from late mulching. For mulching, straw, old hay or the like may be employed very satisfactorily, provided it is free from weeds. In fact, where you will likely plow up a strawberry bed next summer after it produces its crop anyhow, the matter of weed seed in the straw or hay may be discounted considerably. For even though the weeds make a pretty vigorous start, usually the fruit will be picked and out of the way before the weeds amount to a great deal, and weeds and berry plants and all will be plowed under during the early summer. i . 1 ************************** Horticultural Facts ! ************************** At this season of the year the chief i attention of the orchardist is devoted to pruning. * ♦ * j “Safety first” practices demand the • spraying of peach trees to prevent destruction by leaf curl. * « * Early planting is always advantageous for orchard trees, and usually so for cool weather garden vegetables. « * « In pruning young orchards it is seldom necessary to use a disinfectant to sterilize the small wounds made by the removal of branches. • • * If pruning work Is to be performed properly, interestingly, and with the least amount of effort to the laborer, good pruning tools are necessary. * * * Use pruning shears and saws to train the .young tree to the desired type of framework and to maintain the framework of the older tree in condition to produce the maximum amount of good quality fruit. • « * The work of pruning and shaving i cankers should be done every year, because some may be overlooked and new ones may develop each year. ♦ ♦ * Mounding earth around the trees In the fall, before hard freezing weather, to a height of 4 to 6 inches helps, especially in winters of light snowfall. • • • .Reports that mice nests are abunI dant near fruit trees this year strengthi ens the need for clearing away rub--1 bish from near the trunks of fruit trees to prevent injury. « • • Avoid orchard losses resulting from broken trees and low yields due to improper shaping and pruning. * • * The failure of apple flowers to set fruit is one of the most important problems with which the fruit grower has to deal. « * * November Is the month for mulching strawberries in the North. It’s best if the ground freezes a little before the work is done. In the South mulching should be delayed until December.

Domestic Animals Die From Swallowing Nails A larger number of mature animals at the government dairy experiment farm. Beltsville. Md.. have died from the effects of swallowing nails, wire, or similar material than from any other one cause, according to the bureau of dairy industry. United States Department of Agriculture. Autopsies made at this station showed that out of a total of 2G deaths over a period i of years 12 were due to swallowing foreign objects, the most common of which was a sharp-pointed piece of wire two or three inches long. Such material collects in that part of the stomach known as the “honey comb” or reticulum. Some of the sharp-pointed objects may pass through the stomach wall and pierce the heart or other vital organ, with fatal results. Great care should, therefore. be exercised in handling and disposing of such materials as baling wire, nails and rusted-out fencing.

Arctic Region Rival of Ivory Coast of Africa The ivory coast of Afflca has a substitute in the Arctic coast and islands of Bering sea. The schooner Boxer, arriving recently brought nearly $lO.000 worth of fossil tusks of ancient mastodons, walrus and sea elephants collected during the past year by Eskimos. Large quantities of walrus tusks ages old, but of excellent quality, were dug out of the Pribilof islands by Aleut Indians, several tons of mastodon ivory came from St. Lawrence island and a large shipment from King island. The small colony on Wrangell island has collected a large quantity of mastodon ivory which will be picked up by Arctic trading ships and brought to Puget sound markets. On some islands ivory is mined. The buried supply represents the kitchen dumps of age-old civilization which used walrus for food. There was no value attached to the tusks and they were cast aside. Now they are sought for the hundreds of uses ivory is put to over the world. Grandma’s Victory President Bizzel of Oklahoma university—the university recently abolished hazing—said at a dinner in Norman: “When the new generation and the old tackle one another, the new generation usually wins. Sometimes, though, P’s the other way about. “A grardmother tackled her granddaughter about an evening gown: she said the gown was immodest ; but the granddaughter lit a cigarette and retorted : 4 ‘“You know, grandma, 1 wouldn’t be seen in the kind of dresses you wore when you were a girl.’ “‘You wouldn’t be seen, eh?* said the old lady. ‘Well, certainly, not so much of you would ne seen.’ ” Children’s Friend Joseph Lee of Boston has earned the affectionate appellation, “father of the playground movement” in America There are now more than 12.000 playgrounds and athletic fields in daily use in the United States and Canada.
