There were ■ numerous destructive forest fires in both the West and the E; st; the milk shortage in many regions was serious; and the water in the MissiSslpjii river was sb low that ‘ barges and towboats were stuck oh sandbars and mud flats all along the Father of Waters. At the same time the levels of laikes Michigan. Superior and Huron were higher: which led commentators on the Jake diversion controversy to think that the policy of the government has resulted ' in giving the citizens who use the . Great Lukes more water than they need, at the same time depriving the manufacturers and fanners of the Mississipid valley of sufficient water jo float their cargoes to the sea.

w WATCH AMOUNT OF FEED PULLETS EAT Drop in Mash and Grain Used May Bring Slump. A coming slump in egg laying of ' early hatched pullets can be detected by watching the amount of feed consumed, warns the poultry., department i at Cornell university. j A flock of 100 leghorn pullets laying 1 50 per cent must eat from 24 to 25 ■ pounds of grain and mash daily. A ! decline of only tvxo pounds of feed from the necessary amount that should be eaten by one hundred birds, is enough to cause a falling off of egg production. , The feeder’s problem is to have the I flock -eat the required amount daily. ! E’or various reasons, some difficult to I determine, the birds may refuse to eat what they .should. At the same time they 1 become increasingly inactive. If the slump continues, a partial molt may result. Such conditions > may start as the result of changes in feeds and feeding and general management. outbreaks of disease, poor ventilation. Or poor breeding, but probably most, frequently from violent changes in the weather. It is best to try to check the slump before it has progressed far. If. however. the birds have- dropped off in production, the next best thing is, to bring th?m out of it as quickly as possible. In either case there .are several practices that may prove helpful • at this sejison. Increase the hours •qf lirttfn ial il- : inmiim’ion. if necessary. so that the birds have a 11 hour day. Feed cod liver oil. mixing 1 pint in each 1<«» pouiids of dry mash or 1 ounce daily ' in ti e s.-igitch grain -<!>r in the wet II . -It f,.r .-.ri hens. Feed a ’Wet mash composed of tiie regular dry nia-h moistened vv::h <kim milk ..or waler. preferably just before the nig: t . t'eedii g of grain. Uontiriue to keep the | dry mash !■••;.,re the birds. Liquid I skim milk is advised even though I there is powdered milk in the mash. I 'l’he r< ' ised Cornell maSli formula call; for. r>n pounds ~t dried skimmed milk or buttern iik in every s<n .poitmls ot the mixture. Breeding Peafowl for Ornament and Profit On a. farm peafovvl.'l may be kept without much trouble. Tiny are’very ornatneiital birds, and always arrest attention. It is perhaps expensive to start off with a pen of these birds, which Would re<|iiire to consist "f four Tiens ami. one > <•< ' but doubtless they would return a. profit in hatching eggs ami in .voting birds for sa"?. " When birds are first installed it is necessary :<< watch that they do not wander too far avvaiy. which they might be inclined Jo tie. before they get settled down to a new place, which they will do in two or three weeks’ time. The owner shofild endeavor to I encourage them t<> ro|>st in an openfronted shed. l.ike the turkey the I peahen tikes to select a hedge.!' hat' ll out her young. As a rule she will sit when-she has laid from x to Til eggs. Tlje incubation period is one of 28 days, and the youngsters are. as a rule, very active am! bright. The mother lien broods them for a long time. _ Rotate Chick Ranges to Avoid Coccidiosis Rptate chick rangei as you would crops. They should nbt be allowed to range "ti the same ground oftener than ome in three years. Rotating the range will avoid coccidiosis' and inI testinal. parasites that live on. the I ground for several Lears after the I chicks have been taken off. Any range with plenty of grass is i desirable for sanitation ami economy. A green range is more sanitary than one withonly bare ground. The growing gra-s hides and utilizes n:o-t of the organic waste. Feed bills are cut materially if ample range with good grass is available. It will supply a tender, juicy feed. ! along with all the necessary mineral? and vitamins. Time to Fight Mite - Summer is the tinie when-lice ami , mites do their most deadly work In the poultry (I<n-k. I.’ce live on the birds, while the mites hi-le in cni'ks and crevices in the nests.. roosts and. droppings iHiards in the day time-ttud gyt on the birds at night and sink the Wood. Both of tli'-e i“'t< -ap the birds' vitality and lower egg produc- ■ tion. The birds should be treated for lice and the houses cleaned and disini fected, the droppings I • ards, rv-<ets and lifts being painnd. Fattening Turkeys Begin on tiie first of October hy gradually increasing! the fet'd- morning ami evening. If the birds are fed enough they will nofl move about very j much. There’is no. nd vantage in shutting them up. The more milk fed the better the bird; so feed as much buttermilk as possible during this time. Keep all hoppers and troughs clean at all times. Provide the birds with deep wooden troughs for wet mash, made front Id-inch or 12-inch boards or planks. “Worn” Pujlets in Fall It is well to “worm" pullets before putting them into their laying quarters i in the fall by giving tobacco in their i food for several weeks. It should have a guaranteed nicotine content exceed Ing 1 per cent, as it is the nicotine that does the work and tobacco with a low nicotine content is worthless. This is administered by mixing one pound of the dust with fifty pounds of the mash fed, or giving the regular mash a 2 per cent tobacco dust content for three or four weeks at a time.

However, some people desire a combination of two materials, thereby securing an out-of-the-ordinary home.

Expert Says Paneling, contrary to the popular impression, need be no more expensive th:in other methods of treating vv.alls. says Edward \V. Donaldson in "Better Homes and Gardens." When paneling is mentioned, points out this authority, people too often think exclusively of the oak paneling of Tudor or early Stuart type! of the deal or pine-panelet] room of the late Seventeenth and early Eighteenth centuries: or of the ornate French paneling of sundry Eighteenth centurymodes. Paneling of these types is worthy of all admiration, but either adaptations or reproductions are very expensive and demand a complete environment to correspond. Without such an environment, architecture and furnishings ’they become absurd. There are, however, perfectly legitimate kinds of simple paneling that require neither expensive material nor high-ly-skilled Workmanship, and such paneling .can be employed in the simplest, rooms with entire propriety and excellent results. Tiie*resources available for simple paneling are wood, plaster, paint, paper. and sundry fabrics, continues the writer in “Better Homes and Gardens. For low-ceilefi rooms, vertical boarding. either with matched edges or with beadeM. beveled, or knotty or plain, or |K>pl:tr may well be used for this purpose: the boarding may either be stained or painted and finished with wax. If .people would only, coMeut to let any kind of unpainted wood go without stain, and allow time nnd atmosphere to tone it. they would be repaid with delightful color, but most folks are too impatient for immediate effect, An easy type of paneling to create, and one that is comparatively Inexpensive, is effected by applying wooden moldings on‘the piaster surface of the wall to form panels of the desired shape and size. The whole wall surface can then be painted. Again, the panels might be tilled with certain types of wall paper, or with chintz or cretonne of appropriate pat-

Decorative Flooring Adds to Home Beauty Flooring is more than a,mere surface to be walked on. It is a distinct decorative part of a room: it is one of the vital features in the construction of a house gnd, in many cases, it is a means of preventing the spread of basement fires and consequently a potential life-saver. These are but a few of the things that should be given careful consideration when the question of flooring is raised by tiie architect. Wood floors are perhaps the most popular. And they may be laid in a never-ending variety of patterns. Narrow boards, wide boards or a combination of booth, blocks, or the oldfashioned planking all make attractive and durable floorings. But. again, there is more to a floor than its surface. All floors should be laid over a subv floor and. with wood, laid diagonally to lend rigidity to the finished floor. The joftts should be bridged to prevent sagging. Bridging involves the placing of wood or metal strips diag-

and kitchen downstairs, and three bedrooms with bath upstairs. As will be seen by tiie floor plans, which accompany the exterior view,: all of these rooms are of unusual good size.

A so. certain varieties of scenic wall paper could beil u<fd in this vv’ttyu still again, tiie panels, might be filled with Chinese or Japanese gold or silver paper. A .further for panel decoration is to apply eompo reliefs in the maimer of the fate Eighteenth century. The ground of the panel could then be •painted some pale color, like pea-green or pearl-la vender, ami the reliefs, paipt; ed white. Yet another way of achieving inexpensive’paneling is altogether through the medium of either-paint or wall paper, 'without applying any wooden or eompo moldings-, ’ .

Glazed porclres, which serve a double purpose as sleeping and breakfast-.robins are gready favor.ee by hotpe builders. Dry Surface Needed for Good Paint Job One of tiie worst conditions for painting is tire presence ot; moisture. It is important, ’in painting the pew house, to see that all surfaces are thoroughly dry before attempting to paint them, if paint,is..applied over a surface containing any appreciable amount of moisture; especially If the moisture be internal, that is. contained in The material painted, just as soon as the interior of the house becomes warined the water vapor will attempt to escape through the paint film and will eventually cause either- blistering or peeling of the film.

onally between the floor joists to minimize the chances of lateral movement. Recently there have, been Introduced many non-wood flooring materials. Perhaps the most used of these is linoleum. An interesting pattern, of linoleum is one which simulates the old plank flooring of Colonial days. Even the Wooden pegs and butterflies which held the planks together are ingrained in this material. Many finished floors are laid on a base* of cement. To use this a special Wire re-enforceing is needed. This reenforcing is backed with a heavy building paper which holds the cement as it is poured: when it is hardened tiie criss-crossed wires impart strength. A base of this sort is particularly valuable in preventing the spread of basement fires. It will also aid in reducing fire insurance premiums.

COWS CONDITIONED LARGELY ON CORN After Calving Make Good Use of Bran Mashes. “Cows that have been milked until they are below normal-in flesh can tie most quickly and economically conditioned on corn," says G. A. Williams of Indiana. A mixture cf six pounds ground corn, two pounds ground oats or hran. aiid one pound of oil tneal is ■I a mixture he recommen Is. ,\s soon as the, desired condition has been obtained. replace the corn with bran ■ am! gtound oats. At least ten (lays before freshening feed equal parts of : bran.and oatswith possibly one pound l of oil meiil.ii day and greatly reduce ‘ the quantity. i For several days before ,qnd after calving there is nb feed so good as bran mashes because of their, cooling and laxative properties. If constipation develops, give a quart of raw linseed oil or one pound of epsora salts. Clovei 4 , alfalfa ot soy bean hay may be allowed with possibly a limited amount of silage. Many cases of milk fever can be avoided by care at this time.

Get Excellent Results From Balanced Ration ■ A great many farmers do not feed a well balanced ratio i to their dairy cows because for so‘m< reason or other i they think a ration is necessarily much more expensive than onemade up of the ordinary farm grains. If a protein feed has to be.purchased the price usually seems lijjgh. A,.torr j of a high.protein concentrate always costs more [han a tor of corn or oats : or iutrley, and unfi rtunately many ffirmers conipa.re the' nice of feeds ot» the ton basis. The tiling that so many do not seem to realize is that a given amount of a high protein feed pfi»pI erly mixed with fa -m-grown grains . will bring a lower production cost because the more perfectly a dairy ration is balanced with reference to prb-i tein, carbohydrates and mineral matter, the niore econor lieally will it be used by the animal. Early Cut Sunflowers • to Keep Up Milk Flow Sunflowers cut about SS <lays after planting, or about t le .middle Os August, proved to he the most palatable and kept tiie rr.ilk flow of, the cows closest, to the level of corn silage in trials made in IHino s. The .Man’imoth Russian variety was used in rows about7 K feet apart and about 10 inches apart in, the rows. When at>,out 25 per ent of the plants are in bloom and show the, yellow rays plainly, and tiie upper leaves are green, is the best time t« cut sunflowers for the silo.' Two other lots of sunflowers were tried out, one lot being cut and ensiled when 95 pej cent of the plants were, itr bloom and half the leaves were rusted dry, while at the third cutting the plants wereabout dead aid entirely dry and woody. . fir. ■ Pasture- Supplement As late summer a.apronches the need for pasture supplement becomes more acute. It is during tf>is period that pastures become short, idtie to dry. weather. Silage has proved to be the best forage supplement for pasture, although soiling cr >ps, such as green corn, oats and soy beans may be used, if the labor is available. It pays to supplement these' feeds vvitli one of the grain mixtures and hay, in order to keep up the production of heavy milking cows.—.Ernes V. Hopkins, Monongalia County, West Virgania. Get Herd in Shape Now is the time the good .dairyman is getting the‘herd, his feed and hisbarns in good condition for tirewinter. A cow that is allowed to get thin and shaggy now. will produce nothing but hair through lhe winter. Aik feeds are reasonably cheap now and the good dairyman will make arrangements for his winter supply. He will see that his barns are repaired and arranged with plenty of light and ventilation and a water supply so arranged that it trill not be cold. Minerals Needed There is still another possible need of a greaff many pows on pasture and that is for minerals. Mineral feeding to dairy cowsi is a relatively new practice and its merit has not been definitely established. However, if there is any time of year when minerals will prove beneficial it is probably when the cows are on pasture, getting the necessary vitamin fronr the green grass nnd any benefit thereto In the direct rays of sunlight Cows will not eat a great deal of minerals.
