Wets In the Republican party In New York didn’t do so well as they had expected in the congressional primaries, but they did score Some notable victories, and it was certain there would he a hot fight over the liquor question In the impending-state convention.

For this reason It was suggested they might merge with Dr Alfred Hugenberg's Nationalist party. Such a c*>alltlon would have 148 seats and could claim the task of forming a new ministry. The present cabinet unanimously decided that Chancellor Bruenlng should keep office and present his program to the new reichstag which convenes on October LT Bruenlng’s Centrist party has only seats and must rely on help from the Socialists and some of the many minor parties.

There is no expectation of a revolutionary change In German foreign policies. hut France wits disturbed by the Fascist victory and Italy was somewhat elated. The French nationalists foresaw the end of the Locarno pact and of Brinnd’s policy of conciliation with Germany. The Italians felt strengthened in their military and other disputes With France, and It was admitted generally that the result of the German elections might retard the disarmament [parleys and prolong the unsettled condition in Europe. GETTING down to business, the assembly of the League of Nations in plenary session adopted a resolution that a special committee should be named to study Briantl's scheme

for a federation of European states, and that non-membersl of the league be asked to assist In the parleys. The plan was thus removed from the agenda of the assembly for one year.

DAIRY MORE TESTING OF COWS IS NEEDED Nine Pertinent Dairy Improvement Pointers Given. More testing of dairy cows is needed for economical production, according t< Jas. W. Linn, extension dairyman. Kansas State Agricultural college, in stressing the value of dairy herd improvement association work. What such Work means to dairymen the specialist sums up under “nine pertinent dairy improvement points." • It brings about ri greater realization of the difference in relative ability of various cows within our daily herds; It demonstrates tlie economy in feeding cows as individuals; seeing that the better cows are liberally fed. g<><»<! cows are fed on pasture, and that the priiiciples of feeding are made common knowledge; It emphasizes an appreciation of the fact that sires vary in their ability to transmit milk and butter fat production; - . If aids in the culling of the poorer cows; It increases the value of the good cow; It causes the pure bred breeder to be more selective of his breeding animals; It stresses testing for economical production and not maximum production; It puts business methods in dairying; and. / « It is helpful in taking the knowledge, of better practices to neighbor dairymen. Manure and Rotation to Reduce Cost of Dairying Not all tlie virtues of dairy farming are wrappetl up in good herds of well fed bows. Successful dairy farming requires tlie constant practice of crop rotation including a legume in order to supply the herd with Hie proper feeds. ..Much manure is produced annually which, on well managed farms. is put hack in the soil for the benefit of succeeding crops. Were it not for rotation of crops and manure. the crop yields on our dairy farms would not be what they are today. In this connection some interesting (lata is avaiiabie from the Missouri station. Corn grown continuously‘on the same land without manure or .other fertilizer averaged 2t 1.9 bushels I>er acre over a 311-year period. In a rotation of corn, oats and clover without manure or other fertilizer, the, com averaged 32.6 bushels per acre. In a three year rotation of corn, oats and .clover with rminnre. the corn averaged 43.4 bushels per acre over a 30-year period. Manure and rotation with legumes are valuable means of reducing tlie costs of producing milk. Speed of Separator Is r Cause of Variations (By XtJIES W LINN. Extension Dairyman, Kansas State Agricultural College). Causes most common in bringing about a variation In the test of cream are speed of the separating machine, temperature of the. milk, and amount of flush water used. Cream from a normal turning of the separator, will result in a 39.7 per cent fat while a three-fourths normal speed will deliver cream of 35.5 per cent fat. The lower the temperature of the milk tlie higher will be the per cent of fat in the- cream. Milk at 120 degrees F. will produce a 24.5 |>er cent cream: at 90 degrees F. a 30 per cent cream, and at 75 degrees F. the cream delivered will be 43 |»er cent. As the volume of fat separated is lowered, any Increase In the amount of flush water will carise a more rapid towering of the fat in the cream. Shortage of Water and Feed Works Hardship From feed and water only can a cow make milk. Shortage of either works a hardship on the good cow. Halffilled cows produce half filled pails. Feed the good dairy cow during the 45-day “short feed" periml enough roughage and grata to keep up production »o that it will not drop below the normal drop, due to the advancing lactation period. It Is tremendously difficult to "bring back" the miik flow, due to decreased feed supply, after it has fallen l»elow the normal and natural drop that is always expected after the cow has been in milk some time, rhe better' way is to “feed up" ttofi best producing cows Tn herd on enough good feed to maintain a profitable and abundant milk yield.Water for Dairy Cow . A man who has had experience only with cat fie raised to* beef will be astonished If be undertakes to carry the water for a day to a high producing dairy cow. It might teach him a lesson, however, that would be valuable If he ever decided to keep dairy stock. The milking cow requires a targe amount of water Indeed because the milk itself requires a considerable amount and further, a high milking cow is of necessity a heavy fed animal. Clean Separator If a high quality cream is desireu the separator should be'cleaned after each use. A clogged and dirty machine not only brings about bad odors r and flavors through growth of bacteria spread by the machine, but also hinders the normal flow of milk through the separator. This influences tlie test and results in loss of butterfat in the skirn milk. Rust forming on the disks due'to failure to properly dry them, particularly when new, also makes washing more difficult.

Radford will answer questions and gix’e advice FREE <JF COST on all subjects pertaining to , practical home building, for the readers of this paper On account of his “ experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he is. without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A: Radford. No. 407 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, IM., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. Tlie modified type of the Colonial hoine building design which has an ir- < regular pitched roof and wide dormers is commonly termed the "Dutch Colonial." .Tiiis is a popular type of home because its exterior appearance Is made attractive by Hie breaks in the roof and the wide dormers. However, in the interior arrangement it follows rather closely Hie Colonial. Such a home is shown in the accompanying illustration. This is a five room house 2G feet wide and 22 feet deep. The five rooms are large, however, and are of tlie type that are t I , „. 1 ,..,. 1 t»0£ • X g ■ LltßfiU UVTNGXfi Ko-xeio- —p- o, •JV DININS KM. i ~ • L\ • lO’Ob’A»a->~ ,j I I;" a *" I- J First Floor Plan. wanted by those who are building their own homes.

Remodel Old Homes by i Proper Use of Paint When a house begins to show it; age, appearing out-'dated and gloomy, it is time for some form of rejuvenation. Structural remodeling is usually tlie first thought because removing a partition here or adding a window there often greatly improves a house. But such reconstruction work is expensive, so that home owfiers .who feel that they cannot afford to put forth any large sum in remodeling would, be wise to turn to paint as a medium for modernizing and freshing up their houses. For example, an old-fashioned house where Hie first floor had been divided into four rooms instead nf the three that the space actually permitted iiad two living-rooms, connected by an archway. Each room was dark and uncomfortably small. The owner, not wishing to add any windows or to tear down the dividing wall because of the expense tins work would entail, decided to repaint the dark tan walls a pale buff. Immediately the rooms appeared lighter so diat the lack of sufficient windows Msas not apparent. Finished alike, the two rooms no longer resembled two stuffy boxes. When the wood trim of tlie arch between Hie two rooms was finished in ivory white x enamel, along with the rest of tlie trim, the division between the rooms was even less noticeable. Paint will also go far in making ill-proportioned lines in a room, seem less pronounced. If a room appears too high in comparison with its length and breadth, a picture moulding may be placed low and the ceiling color carried down to the moulding. On the other hand, a sunny room that seems even hotter than the temperature would indicate will acquire a more pleasing atmosphere if its walls are painted a cool tint, such as pale green, blue or a soft gray. Poor flooring makes a room look shabby despite nice furnishings. \Vood that tacks attractive grain or coloring, or that presents a rough

Ingenious Devices to Help Around the Home Among original schemes which proved successful In establishing a new home, according to a correspondent In Better Homes and Gardens, was the placing of targe galvanized hooks in the rear wall of the bouse and in the front of the garage. This eliminated ugly poles in the yard, the clothesline being stretched between hooks. Another idea is the . placing of a small ironing board in the wall of the sewing room, while a spare bedroom has a targe closet containing a roll-away bed. The suggestion is also made to reverse the lawnmower which can then be used as a conveyor for baskets of dirt and stone. Weather Strips Save Mtmey in Many Ways Anything that saves the life of furniture or hangings is worth considering. Where the house Is completely equipped with weather strips inside and out, less sweeping, scrubbing and

rectly into the living room which is 14 feet by 21 feet. The opening stair out of the living-room beside tlie entrance door leads to the second floor. An open fireplace is set in tlie outside wall witli doors on either side leading w>'A’X»7’e L •, I L J Sacond Floor Plan. to the open porch. This porch may be walled and glazed to make it into an "all-year-round'' sun parlor if desired. The dining room' is 19 feet G -inches by 12 feet 6 inches and the kitchen is of the same width and is 8 feet deep. The stairs lead to a hall at the rear of the second floor ar one side of which is the bathroom. I Jot h bedrooms open off this one on either side of tlie stairway. Tiiese rooms are large, one being 12 feet G inches l-y 14 foot and tlie other 10 feet G inches by 17 s feet 6 inclio. The house is of frame construction and sets on a concrete foundation ; lias a basement of Hie same dimensions as the house proper." This is the type of home that tlie small family desires. Its rooms .are large and airy. The ar rtingement of them is such that the work of caring for the home can be done •Aitb the least amount of effort. It is attractive from the exterior appearance and when surrounded bv shrubs and flowers as is shown in the illustration, it will qiake a very attractive home.

surface wjiich no amount of sandpapering will remedy is not hopeless, because, paint will conceal these faults at the same time it brings new color to tlie room. Paint is also excellent for concealing a discolored or marred floor. No paint but a floor paint should be used for this purpose, it is important to remember. Floor lacquer or stain is also recommended for tlie floor that" is not of tlie type to have its natural beauty enhanced by varnish. One or two coats of varnish should be given a floor after it has been painted of stained to insure longer wear and to simplify cleaning. Fashions in kitchen and bathroom decoration have changed.in a marked degree in recent - years, so that the room that was tlie latest word in interior decoration fifteen 'years ago may seem dowdy today. As long as the plumbing in either of these rooms is in working condition, extensive and expensive repairs need not be made to bring about rhe metamorphosis that will {i.oduce a 1930 room. Walls and woodwork that are finished in white or a dark color, treatment once considered highly practical, may be enameled irt some pleasing color to modernize these two rooms. This sort of “remodeling” may be extended to the exterior, too. Elaborate carving that belongs to the era -Avhen "gingerbread’ decoration was not frowned upon will wppear less conspicuous if it is painted in a color that does not call, attention to itself, but that blends Instead with the coloring of tlie house. Considerable work is required to remove such appendages as cupolas or cornices and frequently their removal spoils the architectural lines of the house. Like the carving, these decorations may also be painted a neutral shade, while the whole bouse is treated with a suitable color scheme so that the eye is not attracted to any one feature. Hiring the Plumber “The best way to get a good piurpbing job is to go to a reputable master plumber and consult him as you would your doctor,” says a writer in the American Building Association News.

work of like nature will be required. Instead of renewing damaged furniture or hangings, the money can be saved and applied on new ones for a complete change. Here is another way the weather strip saves time and money. This so* called ideal comfort becomes a time, health and money saver all In one. Fuel saying is also considered important. In the installation of the heating plant there will be a reduction of heating area if the house is weather stripped. Engineers always figure in extra space to be heated when the house is not protected by weather strips or insulation. . Brick Home Costs Little More Than Frame House A Des Moir.es (Iowa) builder erected two small houses, identical in every respect except that one was frame and the other face brick construction. Final costs showed that the face brick cost big J84.8C more than the frame house. Total costs for the houses were $2,901.30 for the face brick and $2,816. 50 for the frame.

DRESSED TURKEYS SWELL 6 PROFITS Co-Operative Project in Nebraska Is Success. (Prepared bv the United States Department ot Agriculture.) Increased profits from turkey growing as tht\ result of co-operative marketing of the dressed fowls lias proved an hicentjve t<> farmers in Hie North I’latte irrigation district in Western Nebraska. “Marketing dressed turkeys in car lots.” says D. 11 I'ropps. of the bureau of agricultural eCo.iioinics in the Yearbook <>t the t'nitod Stares iieparttuent of Agriculture., "is one of the most practical of co-opera-tive marketing projects." “The growers in a county or district." Mr. I’ropps explains, "determines approximately the number of turkeys avaijable for sale. Representatives <>f rl.e growers got in touch with prospective buyers arid receive from them sealed bids which are opened nt a Stated time. The entire number Ts then sold, to the highest bidder, who then fixes rhe dates on ( which Tie wishes the dressed birds to fie delivered. The farmers dress the turkeys the day before delivery and cool /them overnight ob the farms. The birds are weighed, graded and (>aid for as they are delivered The purchaser bears all expenses and assumes all responsibility* after the birds are received." Turkey growers realize from 50 cents Jo $1 fop the labor of dressing. This represents from 1.5 to _’<• per cent of the value of the turkey, and is. tally three fifths* as much as tlie entire feed cost of raising and fattening the bird* in tlie North. I’latte district. In 1927 ti e growers- sold nearly 25.1MH1 birds, and t)ett»«l about .s'lß,ooo for the work of dressing. At turkey dressing time neighbors often change work, and if one grower is inexperienced lie can tisuall” get a neighbor Io show him tlie best method of dressing the birds. Farm dressing is usually better done than in comniervial esrablislonenK and buyers consider this when bidding for the turkey crop. The fact that turkeys move to market so. largely Just in'advance of Thanksgiving and. Christmas is a point favoring the co operating sellers. . Before Winter Sets In Clean Up Poultry House Before winter sets in the poultry house should be given a thorough cleaning * All the’bid filth should- be removed, (he wails, etc., brushed down, and the place made as clean, as physicsiily possible lliis should then be followed' with a drenching with a good flisiuteetant. In fact if mites were preseur the house should be sprayed witti kerosene oil emulsion anti the roosts and parts adjacent Should he puhiled with mink case oil or a similar product. Thorough treatment now may prevent the mites hibernating and causing trouble next spring iind summer Tlie cleaning and disinfecting should not be confined to the walls and root but also to tlie floor. One advantage of the concrete floor is that it can be easily cleaned It rhe poultry house lias riot had its fata .clean up it should be done at once. Io put pullets into unclean quarters and to m*edlessly expose rheitVlo 'disease Is to court trouble It’s another case of (he ounce ot prevention. Insulation of Curtains to Keep Out Icy Winds All that can be done to the-fartn poultry house in the way ot insulation or storm curtains or banking around tlie outsble. will tend to keep out the icy’winds and hold in the bird heat to make the pullets more comfortable. But ventilation must not be reduced to a point that makes the house dump. A damp poultry house nJ ways seems colder than a dry ventilated house at the same temperature. Dampness seems to be a cause of colds and low vitality and both conditions may cause roup or nt least a low per cent of egg production. Helps Avoid Worms One authority tins stated that worms have very little chance ot obtaining a foothold in chickens that have a gizzard well filled with insoluble grit/ Tills authority claims that all eggs and cysts of the worms are ground ami damaged so much by a gizzard full of grinding material that no wonn'infestation results. At any rate, it wouldn’t hurt to see that the young growing stock is given plenty of coarse, insoluble grit andr pure, fresh water. Cooping One Rooster The practice of cooping one male bird in a pen of. say. twenty fowls, and* letting the alternate bird run with the flock day and day about, is better perhaps than allowing tlie two birds to run together. It has been found, however, that the cooping of the male In the pen excites if so ■much that. Instead of resting and gaining strength, the opposite effect Is noted. The "resting" bird should be cooped out of sight of tlie pen. It will feed better. Culling at Night Birds <*oll he removeil from the perches after dark, rind can be examined and handled with* considerable less excitement than when they are rounded up and forced into coops during the day time. The present production charaiJers are such that they can be obsened by touch, as well as by sight—in some cases even better—amt therefore very little* if any light, will be needed for this culling. In fact, light will bother the fowls.
