“About five months ago, following an operation for appendicitis I did not gain strength enough to be up and about. My mother and sister advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I Jiave taken five bottles and it has helped me to get strong so I can do my own housework now. I have recommended it to several friends who have been weak and rundown.” —Mrs. Oscar Ottum, Box 474, Thief Biver Falk, Minn.

White or Weathered Tone Very Attractive Discussing color, Charles S. Schnei- ■ der, fellow of the American Institute of Architects, says in the Cleveland i News that for the frame house good taste limits us to two choices for the color of exterior walls. He writes: “The house with siding walls should invariably be white or near white. , The house with shingle wails depend- ! ing upon its design may either be white or some weathered tone ap- ! proaching as nearly as possible the , color of wood long exposed to the ’ weather. Let us have no more walls of shingles stained in bilious greens and yellows, sad browns and mustards This is most decidedly bad taste. “White is always satisfactory. It affords an excellent surface for the play of shades and shadows cast by details on the house itself by foliage or by passing clouds and it forms a dominant note of contrast whether set against the cool green of summer foliage, the glowing colors of autumn I or the dark gray tracery of winter trees. If one wants to be relieved of i the cost of keeping a white house j white, then good taste demands the ' use of tones which wood naturally takes on when exposed to weather. I “There are stains on the market which approximate these weather i tones. Weathered tones are good because they are natural and although full of variety they are never loud nor flashy.” Here’s Correct Way to Build Up a Foundation Upon completion of suitable concrete footing the contractor should proceed with the construction of foundation walls. Assuming that a twelve-inch concrete wall is to be poured over the footing, allow a six-inch projection on either side of the foundation for equal weight distribution. In some

Small House of Brick Has Low Upkeep Figure By disseminating the information among small wage earners that the i small brick house actually costs no more than a tuouse of less durable construction, if the upkeep costs are taken into account for a period of ten or twelve years, it is telt that this industry is rendering a real service. And not only the wage earner but people who are in easier financial circumstances do not always realize the truth of the economics of home building, taking one material as against another. And in the long run building the wails of homes with brick does not work a hardship on the lumber Industry. Government experts and others have pointed out that the forests of the country are diminishing at an alarming rate, and the present production of lumber cannot continue for a great many more years. To build homes of. brick is to conserve, lumber. Just as much wood is used in the interior of the house for partitions, floors and

There are three bedrooms on the second floor, two at the front and one at the back with the fourth corner occupied by a large bath room. It . will be noted by the floor plans, which are reproduced here, that there is an unusual amount of closet space In this home, a feature that will appeal to the women members of the family. This is the type of home which will appeal to those who have not a large amount of money to invest in a house and to them who want to build a home which would be readily salable should the occasion or necessity arise. Such a home as this would appeal to the greatest number of prospects. It is rather plain but attractive. At the same time it provides a comfortable roomy house for a good-sized family.

cases, where a building is being con structed over sand or soft earth, the ' width of the footing on each side will vary to allow for a still greater distribution of downward pressure, al- ! though the thickness of the foundation \ wall above would not be affected. The contractor will proceed in j either one of two ways with the erec- j tion of the wood forms for tht walls. | The proper method is to excavate at | least 18 inches beyond the exteriot ; side of the wall in order that an out- | side form may be built. Upon the completion of this outside form, the contractor should proceed with the construction of the inside form; these should ,be properly braced. Suitable wire, used in tension, and ; wood blocks not smaller than two by two inches, used in compression, should be used between the forms to insure proper separation. These blocks are removed aj concrete is poured. It is better tc have all walls poured at once. The mix for concrete for poured foundations is usually one part portland cement, two and a half parts, clean sand and five parts screened aggregate (gravel not less than threequarter inch up to broken stone not larger than two inches). This type of wall can best be waterproofed by use of a powder or liquid compound, made for the purpose, mixed into the concrete, or coating exterior surfaces with asphalt after forms are removed. Novel Window Sill A window sill made from the web and sides of hollow building tile which have been broken up and split, and the tile slabs laid one on the top of the other with about a three-quarter inch bond of cement, gives a pleasing effect on a house of brick or stucco. It not only brings about a splendid sill, but it also adds a most interesting texture detail to the exterior.

finish as would be used in a frame house; the only difference is that the outside walls are built of a material that will protect the inside lumber from decay. Good Floor Finish Two coats of oil and wax, with no filler or varnish, is an excellent method of finishing oak flooring. It has an appearance distinctly different from the standard filler and varnish job. A choice between the two is practically a matter of taste. Closet Window If a window is put in a closet there is no musty, dusty smell; clothes are easily distinguished and the contents of the closet are much more easily cared for. Brick for Renovating Face brick is a popular medium for modernizing old homes. Often an at- «. tractive home is salvaged out of the old house at a traction of the cost that a new dwelling of similar appearance wwitf entail. \

ORCHARD GLEANINGS PROPAGATION OF TREES OUTLINED Grafts and Cuttings Used to Reproduce Plants. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Most woody plants in nature reproduce themselves by their seeds. Since ancient times, however, man has employed grafts and cuttings as well as the natural means of propagating plants and trees. < Information for the ordinary planter who wants to propagate fruit trees and shrubs by any of the artificial means is contained in Farmers’ Bulletin 15G7-F, Propagation of Trees and Shrubs, just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. There is no reason, according to the bulletin, why anyone with a general knowledge of trees cannot propagate them, provided he will learn the easily understood manipulation and give the plants the necessary care and attention. Seeds very often offer the readiest and least expensive means for the reproduction of species. Seedlings, however, usually vary more or less in their characteristics; hence dependence cannot be placed on them to furnish plants which are exact reproductions of their parents. Cuttings are u&d to reproduce like plants of many varieties of ornamentals, also some of the fruits. For practical purposes the plants so reproduced are similar in all respects to the mother plants, although bud variants or “sports” appear occasionally. Layers are useful in propagating many woody plants, especially when only a small increase is required. Grafting and budding are means extensively employed for the propagation of varieties that do not root easily from cuttings. Copies of tne bulletin may be obi tained free as long as the supply lasts by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Applying Spray for San Jose Scale in Winter Lubricating oil emulsion made according to the United States governnjent formula has proved to be one of the most efficient sprays for the destruction of the San Jose scale. In addition to the efficiency of this spray, it is cheaper than the other scale sprays, spreads well and is agreeable to apply. This is not true in the case of lime-sulphur spray. A stock solution can be secured from spray dealers. The recommended strength is three gallons of stock solution of oil emulsion in 97 gallons of water or one and ' a half gallons to 50 gallons of spray. < By stock solution is meant the solution as secured from the dealer. The time of application is during the dormant season, from fall after the leaves I are off until active growth begins in the spring. Do not spray on a day I when the temperature is freezing. Where it is necessary to use hard water, break the same by a diluted j bordeaux solution made of one-fourth j pound copper sulphate and one-fourth i pound rock or one-half pound of hy- ■ drated lime to gallons of water. Stir the emulsion vigorously as it is added to the water. If hard water is not broken as described, the oil will not mix with the water and make a good emulsion. Clean out the spray tank in case it has been used in spraying with limesulphur spray or the emulsion with the water may not be complete. The stock solution of the lubricating oil emusion should not be permitted to freeze or it will not be effective. The stock solution will freeze at about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Store the stock solution, as secured from the dealer, away to prevent freezing or bury it in the container. Infestation of Nematode Remedied by Heavy Soil Several years ago a block of Elberta peach seedlings was being grown at the Georgia experiment station to study the type of fruit they would produce. One section of the nursery became heavily infested with nematode. When the seedlings were to be planted they were separated and the infested plants planted on an area alongside the healthy stock. The soil on which these trees were planted was a heavy clay loam. The orchard was maintained for five years and all the trees grew well; no apparent difference could be detected. The trees were then uprooted and all were practically free from nematode knots on the roots, indicating that the heavy clay soil type had held the infestation in check. Get Rigs Ready It is a good time now to get spray rigs in order. When the leaves come off the trees in the fall there are only a few good days before bad winter weather follows. If preparations have not been made it may cost many hours of valuable time in delays due to break-downs. If the machine is completely overhauled now and new hose ordered for an emergency, the fall spraying may go off better than it otherwise would have done. Pruning Sour Cherry The sour cherry should not have its permanent branches cut back, as it starts new growth most readily from the larger, active buds at the terminals. Three to five main limbs should be chosen for the permanent framework and the remaining limbs should be removed. The’ limbs which remain should have their terminals left intact. Instead of cutting back twigs, they are merely thinned out to four or five well placed branches four to : sight Inches apart

“Collectors” to Fight Menace of Insect Life The stamp collector, the cigar-band fan, the hoarder of specimens of hotel china and other such collectors are about to be pushed aside by a coming generation of collectors, who are likely to specialize in gathering insects. In this ces< the childish hobby is to have a real benefit to the country. The growing r enace of insect life to the larder of the future has spurred the Department of Agriculture to awaken early In the life of young students an acquaintance with their tiny enemies and to teach gathering and control methods. To further this end a bulletin is being issued for distribution in schools, giving data on various types of Insects and describing how they should be collected and preserved. The whole field of collecting, including the exchange of specimens, and so on, is covered in the comprehensive work. It soon may become a common sight to see youthful types of the scientist out stalking beetles, lady birds, aphids and such specimens. War and Monkey* Eight-year-old Jean was being mentally measured by a professor in the education department of the State university.
