There are a htitrftier of good jyi»es? of poultry houses, one which Is shown in the a<comjiunying I illustration. This Is what Is known as a two-gable bouse. It is provided with a concrete floor and foundation and Is .of frame construction. The house shown here is 24 feet by 24 feet square, which provides ntH»ut dtm < square feet of floor space, which is I sufficient for a flockof about 100 White-Leghorns, or S> to $»o layers of the heavier breeds. Cross sectional drawings showing how this building Is constructed, and the materials used, are shown in connection with this artl.cle. It will be noted thnt the side walls are d fleet 6 Inches to the’ eave line. This is of a height sufficient for the placing of nests. underneath the windows and permits the owner to move in all sections o.f the house without discomfort. One feature of poultry house construction which Is most -emphasized by those architects who have, mnde a study of It is tight construction. The ■ modern poultry house is not only tight to the weather but, Is provided with I '.»' __—:— — Cull China Fixtures Are Marked as Such With the Increasing use in the home of plumbing fixtures made of vitreous pchina. the grading rules which have l»een adopted by the industry In con * junction with the bureau of standards of the United stat.-s Department of Commerce should be of interest to i builders. All vitreous china’ plumbing fixtures ■ such as water closet bowls, water i closet tanks, lavatories, drinking fouu- ■ tains, dental lavatories, bidets, etc., are classified Into two grades—regular i selection and culls. Ware which grades below regular se- ' lection is a cull and the rules of the industry provide that every cull shall be plainly marked with two parallel lines cut through the glare Into the hotly of the ware, and that these cuts shall be filled with a bright red enamel or coloring. The cull marks for water closet bowls wiU be found on the back ®f the bowl near the top. China tanks are marked on the inside rear near the top.

When I that time comes a profter house, should be ready for them. Humidity Is Important in Preserving Health From one to more than sixteen gallons of water a day should be vaporized and circulated Ui' the home to make the atmosphere humid enough, for health ami comfort. p This conclusion is drawn from a ' study of scientific literature on humidity written by climatologists, physicians and - engineers. Unlike numerous otliier authoritative works, on the subject,' the Information is couched i.n nontechnical form so that it. may lie read; with Interest by every mem ber of the family. Scientists In these articles say the atmosphere In most American homes is as dry as that over deserts. The effect of this condition, they contend. Is causing many of the ‘colds and other forms of sicknesses, and that the death rate, in the “dryed-out” homes is comparatively high. They also say that the American young lady is spending large amouDis for cosmetics in an attempt to correct in her beauty the wrong that the dry air has done. Waxed Floors Some people are afraid waxed floors because they think they are dangerously slippery. This is not true if the floors, are properly' polished. If the floor is uneven and the wax ts not thoroughly rubbed in one might slip, but it is carelessness that causes slipping—not polish. Igtvatories are marked on the side of the bowl. Further to prevent any possibility of deception, every manufacturer places two splashes of red in a conspicuousplace on the crate containing the cull. These marks do not mean that the ware is insanitary or defective, hut Indicate a difference in grading based on the number of unavoidable defects.' Patching Plaster Easily Used by Home Owners Patching the walls is essential to the housewife's own satisfaction, but more so if there is any thought of selling the house. There are a few brands of specially prepared plastering for patching. If ordinary plastering is used the union between the patching material and the old plaster would not become firm. If there are large broken places in the wall a trowel should be used: If there are only fine cracks a putty knife or some smooth-edge kitchen utensil wiki serve. The patching plaster should be thoroughly worked in until it reacnes the lath.

DaTrY LIBERAL FEEDING OF HEIFERS BEST Specialist Offers Suggestions to Meet Conditions. Feed a liberal amount of feed to the yearling heifer and watch her grow. That Is the recommendation made *hy J. C. Nisbet, extension dairyman, Kansas State Agricultural college, to all dairymen. “By lack of sufficient and the right kind of feed the yearling heifer will never develop the size she should and will mature much later than the wellfed heifer.” says this dairy specialist. He offers four rations to increase the returns from the yearling heifer. First ration: Feed all the alfalfa hay she will eat. Under ten months—feed two to three pounds of a mixture of corn chop, oats, bran, and oil meal Ijmd 12 to 20 pounds of silage per day. Over ten months—feed small amounts of com chop. Increase the silage to 20 to 30 pounds daily? Second ration : To be fed where alfalfa hay is not available but silage is plentiful. Feed all the roughage slie will eat. In addition feed 15 to 30 pounds of silage per day. The heifer will need three to five pounds of grain mixture of corn,,oats, and oil meal in which the oil meal makes up at least one-half, of the grain ration. Third, ration : Where alfalfa hay Is available but there is no silage: Feed the heifer all the alfalfa hay she will eat and three to five pounds a day of a mixture of equal parts oats, com, bran, and oil meal. Fourth ration: Where neither alfalfa hay nor silage is available: Purchase alfalfa to form one-half to one-third of the total roughage consumed daily. Feed grain as in ration three. Don’t Stop Grain Feed During Pasture Season Early pasture for the dairy Cow Is, not going to make the ow’ner any money if ‘fie assumes tlia't washy grass will entirely take the place of grain feeding. In that case the pasture results in a heavy strain on her. She will soon he in poor condition, falling qIT In her flow, and illy prepared for the later test of hot weather, flies and short pasture. It is much better to keep up the grain feeding at a fair profit now. in order to insure a steadier milk flow throughout the summer, and to keep the cows in good physical condition. The correct ration for cows on pasture. according to the Missouri experiment station is: 300 to 400 pounds of ground corn. 200 pounds’ of ground oats or bran. 100 pounds cottoiisei'd meal, a good mineral mixture. The minerals will furnish lime and phosphate to make milk, keep the cow incondition, and help to devejop the calf she is carrying. It makes'the' cow more resistant to abortion and possibly also more resistant to flies. Immature Sweet Clover Likely to Cause Bloat Alfalfa and sweet clover, when in full Idootn, are less likely to- cause bloating than rhe immature clover where wet with dew or rain. Keep cows off the pasture until dew and rain have dried. Allow free access to -salt and slaked lime. Feed cows before turning them into the pasture. When sweet clover is the exclusive roughage rat-ion and ha's been fed for some time-it may cause death from bleeding. The hemorrhages occur in large swellings about the rump or elsewhere in the body or internally, Sueti poisoning most commonly occurs when the sweet clover is moldy, having been killed by frost or withered in autumn, or when old sweet clover Is excessively fed. Dehorning or.castration is likely to be followed by fatal bleeding when such sweet clover has been the exclusive roughage feed of cattle. Weedy Pastures Injure High Quality-of Milk Ridiculous is not the word to describe the quality of milk from cows running on Weedy pasture fields, observes the Fann Journal. Rag-weed, pigweed and goldenrod cause milk that Is w-ay off when It comes to flavor. to say nothing of reduced flow at this time of year. Rut cows don’t eat these weeds from choice. Cows will let the weeds alone if you will feed plenty of good roughage. plus grain and supplements, or a ready-mixed dairy feed. Sheep for weed killing and for wool, dairy cows for milk —that s the best dairy program. Bolt the Separator The separator should be placed level and firmly bolted to a strong foundation. to prevent vibration of the machine. It should run smoothly, to prevent loss of butterfat, in the skim milk as well as excessive wear of the machine. To prevent undue strain and wear, the separator should be started at low speed and gradually raised to full speed. The howl should be filled with warm water when started, to take •out dust and odors and keep the milk sweet. Corn Silage Favored Corn silage ranks first among succulent roughages. It is one of the most economical of succulent roughages and is relished by all classes of live st<K-k. Corn silage can be fed the year around and provides a very satisfactory succulent roughage in times of poor pasture. Corn ensiled at the proper stage is very palatable and cows never refuse it. Even when on good pasture, cows will not refuse good silage and the milk production does not decrease.

Control of Bean and Pea Weevils Fumigation Will Effectively Stamp Out Harmful Pest (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture.) Every year when planting time comes many farmers and gardeners are surprised to find that their seed beans or peas are ruined by weevils even though the seed has been kept in tightly closed containers. At one time these was a popular belief that weevils developed spontaneously from the germ of the seed, but this idea has gradually given way as the facts in the life history of tlie weevil have become more generally known. These facts are fully explained in a revised publication of the United States Department of Agriculture, Farmers’ Bulletin 1275-F, “Weevils in Beans and Beas.” Infested While Growing. Beans and peas may become Infested with weevils while growing :n the field. Female weevils lay eggs sis or oh the pods, and the young grubs work their way into the seed by'burrowing out a hole no larger than a pin prick, too small to be seen hj the unaided eye. After the seed is harvested and put in storage the weevils continue breeding at a rapid rate. Infested seeds in bulk usually heat, thus ■producing the temperature and moisture conditions most favorable for the rapid development and vigorous breeding of weevils. Stamp Out Infestations. Infestations in beans and peas can be quickly and effectively stamped oilt, says the bulletin.; by fumigalfotL with carbon disulphide, carbon rtetriufldoriile. or hydrocyanic ..acid gas, arid by means -nf ' heat or cold storage. Weevils can be prevented from continuing to produce new generations in. storage by mixing dust or air-slaked lime with' the seeds. This remedy tends to dry out the seeds and ?kili the grubs within then). It also prevents those weevils that succeed in developing from leaving the seeds. Cities of the bulletin. 1273-F, may be obtained, as long as there is s supply available for free distribution, from the office of information. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Experts Seek Control of White Grub Insect Whereas the June bug. the parent ,of the white grub, always seeks the light on May tind .lune evenings, agronomists, . enropMilogists and soils experts at the Wisconsin College of Agriculture are going to turn the searchlight on the grub in an effort to learn his hnjiits and to lay plans for his control. . ■ Tim white grub causes a large part of Wisconsin's annual, toll of s2.'>.imm>. IMM) line to insect pests. The damage done by this particular one has been most severe where permanent pas lures have borne the brunt of the attack. with corn and other crops also seriously affected. Since it will be two years before the flight of tile main brood of June bugs, the msei't which lavs the eggs that hatch the white grub, immediate efforts will be concerned with combating the damage to the crops now in the. soil. I’or this work two farms each in lowa, Grant ami Lafayette counties, have been selected. Immediate experimental work will be concerned with determining wheth era resistance can be built up in blue grass pastures by fortifying the plants with additional food in the form of commercial fertilizers, various kinds ’and amounts of which will be applied. Fertilize Strawberry Plants Before Planting Strawiierry plants‘should be fertilized before planting in much the same maimer as the berry bushes, but in addition to the manure application rake in after spading, four pounds per square rod of super phosphate. If a complete fertilizer is used instead of ttie manure, apply it before’setting the plants. About mid-August. it .will pay to apply a light sprinkling of sulphate of- ammonia on the strawberry blossom buds for the next year's crop. This should be applied when the leaves are perfectly dry and that which falls on the leaves should' be immediately brushed off with a broom, because it will burn the leaves if not removed. Agricultural Squibs Barnyard manure, well rotted, is excellent fertilizer for the garden. •• • • The earliest plantings should be shallow so the sun can warm the seeds, ’ • • • , —‘ !

There is no known treatment for smut in seed corn, either of the sweet or field varieties. The smut can be teept down to some extent by pulling out and destroying the smut bearing ears.

Aroundß Orchardß BEES MAKE MONEY FOR ORCHARDIST In Gathering Honey They Increase Fruit Yield. Wlfeout making a nickel’s worth of honey, bees can earn . astonishingly large profits for their owirer. if the owner is also an orchardist. This was demonstrated during the past year by two. demonstrations in orchard pollenization by bees, carried on under the supervision of Virgil N. Argo, extension specialist in beekeeping for the Ohio State university. One of the demonstrations was made in the W. W. Farnsworth orchard at Waterville. The owner rented 104 colonies of bees- and estalvlished them in the orchard at -the rate of one colony to each acre of beat’ng trees. Pollenization by the bees was held responsible for increasing the yield of a four-acre plot of self-sterile damson plums by 200 bushels over its best previous yield, in spite of a poor season. The extra 200 bushels of plums sold at $2 a bushel. The Ohio Orchard company at Milford Center rented 20 colonies of bees which were placed in two blocks us Minkler apple trees, notoriously ••poor setting.” A check was- obtained by placing the bees at one end of a very long, narrow strip of the trees. The result's showed ble to Hie bees yielded a total of 201.5 bushels of apples, or 5.50 bushels to the tree, while 35 trees which the bees did not reach, produced only 120.5 bushels or 3.61 bushels to the tree. f . . ■ In both orchards, bouquets of the other varieties of the fruit frorii which pollen was to be taken were placed near the hives. The' bees distributed pollen from these bouquets' as they worked <>n the growing trees. Re-, search into rhe possibilities of the system is to be carried further this year. ’ Lap Graft Is Simplest Form of Orchard Work The lap graft is perhaps the simplest form of this sort of work. The spro.uts used *re generally a little smaller than a lead pencil, and scions about the same size must.be found. Both scion and stock, must be cut at a long, slant, and then put together in such', a fvay that the inner bark of both will coincide in. at least some.places so that sap may flow from the stock to the; scion. After the stock and scion are shaved to fit they are put together and wool yarn wound around, ■ after which a. suitable I'ieeeXnf grafting "ax is wrapped arouyffrthe whole thing. During the season when it is! found Tor su're that growlli has started vigoiously the wool yarn may be cut with a sharp knife so that it yvili not unduly bind tile growing wood. 'This of course should be done in the middle or latter part of the year. This is the common lap graft but Some people cut an additional tongue in both parts of the stock and s, ion, thinking it makes a firmer hold. Tliis may be done, but the other method mentioned is adequate if properly done'. Clearing Out Brambles’ Quite Difficult Task .Blackberries make great root growth and semi up a mult it Ude lot shoots, especially in the corner of a ’deep soil ■gulden where they have been let go for sometime. A good, spading fork, leather gloves, such as iron workers use, 'and considerable backbone, will. ■ this jot., put the fork down deeply, under a plant,, loosen it and with a pull on the. top while prying w ith the fork, most of the .roots will come out. It is not easy, but does the work. Some roots will be left in the soil, but these slibots can be hoed oil during the season. Quack grass in a garden corner can be handled in the same way. European Gooseberries Quite Vigorous Growers There are two groups of gooseberries; the European ,and the American types. The varieties are vigorous growers and produce largeattractive berries. They are no better in quality than the American varieties and are much interior In yield. Consequently, they are not recommended for commercial culture though they may have a place in the home garden where something a little out of the ordinary is desired. Columbus is one of the most satisfactory European varieties. Oregon Champion is a cross between the European American types that has made many friends. Dehorn Peach Trees It is seldom desirable to dehorn peach trees. It is usually much better to give annual pruning of the right amount and keep the trees in a desirable fruitful condition from year to year by such pruning. Dehorning causes a profusion of rank sprout growths below the cuts. Many of these, branches cannot be used: some break off and most of them grow too rapidly to be easily trained. The crop also suffers for two years or more following dehorning. Disease of Grapes 81. ck rot is a very common, serious disease of grapes and where thorough spraying is not carried out, heavy losses are taken from black rot in every year that conditions are favorable for the development *of this disease. A good all-round spraying program for grapes is contained in bulletin No. 393. of the Ohio experiment station which can be secured by writing the station direct, or it can be secured in nearly every county agricultural agent’s office.
