In it they repudiate all enforcement policies that do not regard and safeguard every personal right

guaranteed by the Constitution, and pledge themselves to a campaign of education. The declaration states it is the paramount purpose of the Eighteenth amendment to . destroy traffic hi intoxicating beverages, and that the enemies of prohibition try to make this appear as offensive sumptuary legislation.

DSfib GOOD LEGUME HAY ' - VERY ESSENTIAL Soy Beans Can Be Used in Emergency for Cows. ' Legume hay is practically a necessity in producing milk at the lowest possible cost, asserts C. L. Blackman, extension specialist in dairying for the | Ohio State university. And the dairy 'farmer who fears that he will run short of clover or alfalfa hay for his j herd, need not be without a good I legume hay. •‘Soy beans can be used in ah emerj gency to supply the necessary legume i hay," says Blackman. If the beans ‘■ are sowed early in June or immediately after corn planting they will usually be ready to cut the latter part ■of August. It is important thiit they be sown early in order to be ready for cutting at this time. Soy beans sowed too late and cut too late may provide | either a poor quality of hay or none iat -all. They make hay which is suffi- ■ ciently valuable to justify the dairy farmer in arranging his farm work i so as to sow them when they should i be sown. “Soy bean hay is one of the most palatable hays for dairy cattle, and is practically equal in feedink value to alfalfa, which Is.the perfect hay for the dairy herd. The soy bean hay carries approximately tfije same amount of protein and mineral master as alfalfa. but-cows do not eat it ‘ up quite as cleanly as they eat up alfalfa, because’of the coarser stems. Early sowing and cutting reduce the > amount vs waste due to this. Many Dairymen Fail to i Balance Their Rations Many stock keepers fail to balance I-their rations because they feel it necessary to feed what they have at hand. For example: A farmer may have a large supply <>f alfalfa or clover and. knowing that this is an excellent Teed, especially for dairy stock, he will feed 100 much protein. Which will result in a loss of feed’as wel l as production. It probably would pay him Very well to sell some of his alfalfa and buy J corn or barley. On the othgr hand, fie 'may have a large supply of. tiniotliy j hay. corn silage, and corn, and his rations woefully lack protein as Well as minerals; for iri our profceir (feeds we generally have a high pet 1 cent Os minerals and vitamins. | There are many feeds in form of forage, grains or mill stuff, and in any state or county they generally can lie produced in stillicient quantities and at low enough prices to warrant profMable* production of stock and stock products. But to <j»lrtiiih results it is necessary to give the animal n balance, ns tn protein and carbohydrates, This .also applies tp mineraks. I ’.

Unless some way is found of providing cows with succulence In Later summer when the blue grass dries up, the dairyman must turn tri the feeding of a concentrate similar tn quality and amount to that used in the winter. It is always a mistake -to turn the calves on pasture too early. The early pasture grass which contains a very high • percentage of water is not the best of feed. Also, growing calves need some grain jr.d silage nearly all the time. ItKs never profitable to stunt them.

Convenience of Room Arrangement Recommends Bungalow Type of Home II 191 WD jUx'-ll f|WJ Many people prefer the bungalow type of home because of its greater convenience of arrangement, all on a single floor.

The bungalow shown in the accomCompactness Required in the American Home Compactness. That is the watchword of the American home. Space has been given value never thought of in days passed when the kitchen was the real living room of thri house. Today the kitchen has developed into a highly efficient workroom, a laboratory xvhere the housewife prepares fqod for her family with ease ami scientific precision. Small kitchens because of the need for compactness, without congestion must be more carefully planned than larger ones. Every inch of availalde space must be utilized to- good advantage. One very good way to do this, is to fit it wiih space saving furniture. For example, instead of taking off two or three feet of wall space with a huge dish closet, have one just .large enough to hold your dishes, and put In a meta) kitchen cabinet, which will hold the kitchen utensils anti cooking ingredients. - The cabinet eliminates the work table and also the storage closet for' cooking ingredients. Instead -of a bulky old fashioned kitchen chair, use a stool w’bfcb will tit readily under the sink.Not “How Cheap,” But “How Good,” Question When you make a purchase on which you may have to depend for a lifetime’s service, your thought Is “how good" rather than “how cheap” This Is especially true when the best costs but little more than an ipferior product.

Only when a contractor has demonstrated that he possesses these qualifications and that all his material is invariably of the best, has Mie earned tlie right to .your confidence. >

Under Windows Best Place for Radiators What is the best location for th** radiator in the ordinary room in a residence or apart nient?. Years ago radiators were placed more or less by guess or in accordance’ With the wishes of the home owner. Today they are placed where scien title research by heating engineers' has shown that they will ptrforn? their work most efficiently. This is at tb» source of the cold air which filters in to the room. In the ordinary room this is around the windows. The heat loss of the nwun Is especially great around the windows not merely becadse windows often do riot tit tight, but also because glass gives* off heat to the outside air. Very accurate data on the amount of heat which will be lost and the amount of cold air which will come in are available for the guidance of heat ing contractors who are members of th4 national association of beating contractors. With the help of this data the con tractor knows bow much heat loss the

Set into the roof are two fan light dormer windows which are aided by the tame type of windows in each of the gables. These provide light and venti- ~ r 1 1 1 Lb J . ■ I -TEDSM I ) "l"*1 -cocr . . i ciAIeLA K_i XTH-fI —t Second Floor Plan. lation in the attic in which has been partitioned off two bedrooms and the bathroom. This home is of frame (’■onstruction and has . basement the same size as the house proper. 26 feet by 32 feet. Set into one end is the sun porch with two sets of french windows on each side and french xvindows on either side of the french door opening off the brick steps arid plat from. The first floor contains four rooms, a large living room 12 feet 6 .inches by 19 feet, a dining room 11 feet 6 inches by 1,4 feet, also a bedroom 11 feet 6 inches by 12 feet. The. two bedrooms upstairs are about 12 feet square. This is a good home building design for the family which wants a bungalow type of home but which needs more bedrooms than are usually fbufid when only the first floor is utilized. When surrounded by lawn and plantings as shown in the illustration it makes a most attractive home. Bad Lighting in Homes May Cause Blindness Bad lighting, exam so apparently harmless a, thing as the glare from an unfrosted electric lamp used night after night, nitty materially affect the health am! happiness of the individual. according to Winifred Hathaway, associate director of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness. "The eye will often stand, apparently without strain, perhaps more abuse than any other part Os the body," says Miss HatiiaWay, "but that does not mean that it is not registering its unhappiness. Many nervous disorders may be attributed to eyestrain. ‘•ln the: home the light must be adapted to the type of vvork or recreation for which it. is needed 7 there must be an adequate supply of light ; glare'must be eliminated; the type of lighting should be in' harmony with, its surroundings, and the illumination should be well distributed.” Half of Houses Using Old Style Fixtures A committee of engineers has recently made a survey of electrical wiring to determine how well modern homes; make use of the advantages electrical appliances offer. The committee reports that more than half the houses are using antiquated fixtures. many of them needing rewiring and practically 95 per cent of them had too few electric outlets to permit the occupants to get the full benefit of electricity. Convenience outlets can be installed in any house wired for electricity. Owner Should Consult Dealer on Right Lock Therefore many types of key protection, from the simple "wards” (used on cheap locks) to ‘ tumblers" contained in the better grades. In well-known brands each tyiie of lock has been developed to its highest efficiency. Each has its place, and Intelligent hardware dealers know where'each .should be used, though the owner quite often does not. This is the chief reason for buying goods of a reliable concera—to assure rhe inexperienced owner that he will be well advised arid get the right hard-, ware for the right place.

radiators must offset and then he can place his radiators where tins heat loss occurs. One of the outstanding advantages of radiator heating is that the radiator.* may be placed near windows. In fact, they will be most efficient at the window. Charm in Kitchen Makes the Work Much Easier Modern housewives demand as niqch ( harm in their kitchens as in the rest of their hemes. Formerly the kitchen was not considered at all in the decorative scheme. The walls were a dirty drab or green, and there was no beauty or charm to the furniture or fittings. But glance into an up-to-date kitchen I it will be found to he as bright and cheerful as it formerly was dull. It has kept pace with its daily occupants, and answers the home manager’s demand for life and color. According to rhe 1926 religious census of northern Ireland there were 420,428 Roman Catholics and 49,551 Methodists.

FARM* POULTRY ' POULTRY KEEPERS SHOULD CULL NOW • Low-Producing Hen or Undersized Pullet Must Go. Poultry keepers should cull out all j the "boarder” or nonproduying hens : together with those pullets that are [ weak and do not show desirable <|iial- ] ities. • “In this way," says A. G. Oliver. I poultry specialist at the North Caro- ! lina state college, “the producer gets „ a much higher price for his stock than is possible later on in the year when ■ the market is glutted, and in addij tion, a large amount of feed is saved” i By going through the flock every ? week or two after the first of June, the owner can easily pick out the cull hens and market them in an orderly 1 way. This process should be followed ] from the first, of June until the first of October. Mr. Oliver states that the (tilling done through the summer months is ] different from that done in October and November. The first is to remove i the poor individuals,while that dbne in the fall, is to select tlie best hens for flock improvement. As long ns a flock is. giving .><• per cent production, it is a xvaste of time to'go over the birds but as soob as the production drops to 20 or 30 per cent, culling should begin. The farmer vvi 11 know how many xxell developed and desirable early-hatched pullets he 1 has. The low-producing hen dr the undersized pullet should be taken from the flock and sold. Those hens that lay only four to ] six months should be disposed of first and the - others gradually culled out until only those that lay eight or nine months are left, lie states. Encourage Chicks to Roost at Early Age Chicks should be encouraged jb roost -as * soon as well feathered, according to Stephen M. Walford, Bur- ' flue university. Early roosting wMI do ffiuch to pre- ] vent smothering and crowding in the ] corners of the house, which also stunts the growth '.of birds that do not die in the Innhile. If heavy breeds »f chick-c do. not take quickly To plie new <mstortr they may be eonipelled -to Use roosts by 5 [Hitting in slanting roosts which have chicken netting, preven jug their getting on the Jloor of the corner.-. After chicks have become accustomed to roosting.they can lie raise I i t<> the customary height or a couple of feet above the, tloor. Confining Hens Found -to Be Most Profitable Farmers who have changed their flocks of hens from ramtina oii tliy farm" at large tf> a smaller area that can b ■ fenced ngain-t other .poultry ami animals, have found that their ben- laid more eggs and had less disease. a> the ground was free from worms ami disease in the hegiiining. . The reason for this.’is that generally hens in smaller yards are fed more carefully thanw’ en running at large. Then, too. a new be provided each year. <>r each -o. months, which ' keeps the hens away from worms and diseases to a’ great extent. Baby chicks should be handled in similar j manner. , Poultry Hints I- While some men overfeed, the eom1 mon mistake is to fed too little. • -» • • Feed 29 to 40 pounds of 'dried skim milk to 109 pounds of mash if c’occij dlosi.s appears, » * • Intelligent marketing is (Inina much toward making turkey growing-more - profitable and successful. * * * !
