It's one that is hard of solution because there are several things essential to a -prac- tical design. First of all it must be economical to build; if the cost rises 00 high it loses its attraction from an investment standpoint. Then it must secure reasonable privacy for both oc- cupants of the house—provide neces- sary sleeping accommodations for:the average family, and at the same time furnish all those conveniences that the small one-family house provides. Lastly it should have all the ear- marks of the single house. It is just here that the average designer fails, as the thousands of’ unattractive two- family houses throughout the country abundantly testify. Take a good look at the above illustration without con- sulting the floor plan, and note how thoroughly the two-family appearance of the house is disguised. The, single door in front, the open second floor balcony, designed for an awning, the square wing effect above the first floor bay windows, all com- bine to feature this house in its ex- terior design as intended for the oo- cupancy of one family only. The floor arrangement of the house is just ms admirable, although it is a maried de- parture from that in common use, in that the kitchen is placed in the left center of the house. .

The bést time to graft is from the present time on until the buds are ac- tvally open. Many people are cutting their stocks with a saw rather than with a wedge or chisel. The end of the scions which are placed in the stock are cut in such a shape as to fit into the cavity made by the saw. As with all other kinds of grafting care should be taken to get the Cam- bium layers of the stock and scions together. This is commonly known as the underbreak. This is the growing part of the trees; therefore it is very mbortant that they should be togeth- er in order to get these scions to take. Some people are using the bark meth- od of grafting, which like the saw method does away with the large cav- ity in the center of the stub. The bark method is simple as it only re- quires that the bark be slit on the side which the scion is to be inserted. The sclons should be cut triansular shape, inserted and pushed down be- tween the bark and wood where the bark has been slit. The scions should be tied in with raffia and the whole wound protected with grafting wax as in the other methods. One can make home-made grafting wax_especially if he is using a large quantity. This wax is composed of four parts by weight of rosin, two parts by weight of beeswax or paraffin and one part by weight of tallow or linseed oil. It is possible to graft into very large branches, but those from one to two inches in diameter are preferable. Two scigns are gen- erally placed in each stofk, especially if the stock is-large enough. During the summer season if both scions take and grow well, the one which is to be cut out eventually should be headed back to a little live wood. This prac- tice should be followed each summer for two or three years or until the other scion has nearly grown over the large wound and it can then be cut out entirely. The reason for practic- ing this method is that it will prevent the bark on the opposite side of the steck from drying out and dying and the wound never healing over. The sclons should be collected from the ends of last year's growth if pos- sible rather than on water sprouts and suckers. If one cannot get one- year-old wood out on the end of the branches, it is permissible to use the one-year growth on water sproits and suckers. After the Scions are collect- ed, they should be tied in bunches of 50 each and properly labeled, then placed in.damp sawdust in the cellar where it is not too warm nor two cold. They will not shrivel when surrounded by fsawdust, which is cleaner than sand. RHUBARB. Should Be Transplanted In Spring— Divide Old Roots, The spring 1is the best time for transplanting and _subdividing _the roots, thus increasing the rhubarb planting. In dividing the old roots, care must be taken to see that each pieceof root to be planted contains a portion of the crown bearing a bud. The subdividing should be done just as soon as the frost is out of the ground and the roots planted just as 500n as the ground can be worked easily. They should be kept in a cool, damp cellar until they can be plant-| ed. Rhubarb roots are very expen- sive, and oftentimes one can get roots from his neighbor. Rhubarb can be grown from seeds, but this is much slower. The roots should be set in rows four feet part, 3 1-2 to 4 feet apart in rows, and should be set so that the crowns are level or slightly below the surface of the ground. The soil in which the rhubarb is planted should be rich and well sup- plied with humus, because the crop requires an enormous amount of plant food and moisture to develop a max- imum product. Rhubarb should be heavily manured annually because it is such a feeder. It is well to put on a lot of manure in the fall, which will serve as fertilizer ‘as well as mulch. No crop should be gathered rom the Thubarb bed until the third year after planting, because that amount of time is required for the roots to gain suffi- cient strength to maintain themselves uninjured, in spite of the losswof & large amount of their foliage during the cutting period. Care should be exercised in _gathering rhubarb to gather only the largest stalks. The smaller ones should be left to assist the plant in maintaining itself. As rhubarb roots and plantations become old, they should be taken up, subdivid- ed ‘and a new plantation started, The rhubarb roots can be pruned instead with a' eharp spade or shovel with success. CURRANT BUSHES. Very fow people feel that they ought to prune currant bushes. This is wrong as all people know who have pruned their bushes systematically in the past. About one-quarter of the oldest branches should be cut out right to the ground. This will encourage considering corn for silage purposes the smaller yield per acre will mean nearly 2 1-2 tons of silage and valued at $450 per ton the work of testing is well paidfi Too much emphasis can- not be placed upom this, as no gain can be made as easily as is that made from the use of the best seed. Fur- thermore, there is no need for growing six acres of corn to get what might be grown on five acres. Since our cold winter weather is over testing of our seeds should be done before the rush of spring work comes on. In testing seed corn each ear should be labeled and an accurate record made of each. Those which prove dead or weak should be thrown away. A surplus number of ears should be tested, as many ears during the test will likely have to be thrown away. In buying seed corn it should as far as possible be bought on the ear, especi- ally if one is desirous of growing for seed as uniformity in type is SILAGE CORN. Results Obtained By One Experiment Station with Different Varieties. The great value of silage corn is its succulent _characteristics. On the other hand, its value as a_source of food is very important. When the largest amount of bulk is desired the large Eureka and Blue Ridge type of southern corn will give the largest yields, but the quality- will be far poorer than the smaller western vari- eties, like the Leaming. The latter will produce a sweeter silage with a larger per cent of ears. With our short growing season the Leaming or a similar type will give the most sat- isfactory returns. Following are re- sults obtained by the Ohio experiment station growing different varieties. food analysis of each variety:—.

RABBIT Orchardists are reporting that rab- bits, woodchucks and in some cases field mice have been injuring the bark on their young trees. If the bark has been gnawed one-half or two-thirds around the trees, brirge grafting can be practiced. Bridge grafting ought 1o be done as soon as possible now ‘up until the time the trees are in full leaf. Scions used in bridge grafting should be the same as those used for top grafting,—that is, they should be one year old wood with all buds dorm- ant. Scions are cut triangular on each end and are inserted in slits made in the bark of the lower part of the wound or on the roots and on the up- per parts of the wound. From two to six or eight such scions are used to bridge the wounds, the number vary- ing from the size of the wound and size of the trees. The grafting wax should be placed over the sections where the scions are inserted in order to prevent drawing. EGG LAYING CONTEST. Results of the Twenty-first Week at State College at Storrs. In the twenty-first week of the lay- ing contest at Storrs the hens laid 151 eggs more than in the preceding week, or a total production of 4026 eggs. This is an average yleld of 57 1-2 per cent. for all pens as compared with a yield of 55 1-2 per cent, for the preceding week and 52 per cent. for the nineteenth week. Barron’s pen of English Wyandottes and Warner's pen of Reds from Bridgeton, R. I, tied for first with 54 eggs each. The Rhode Tsland Reds of Charles O. Polhemus, Newburgh, N. Y., and Branford Farm’s White Leghorns from Groton, Conn., tied for second place with 53 eggs each. Branford Farm's White Rocks won third with 52 eggs for the week.

While some chicks have of course been hatched the number is no doubt relatively small, that is to say, a great many breeders are just putting their eggs In the machines. The Purdue Experiment Station Has just issued a bulletin suggesting that poultrymen select for breeders the hens that, lay large eges. If the case be stateq\the reverse way this means that the large eggs be selected for hatching. There was ‘at one time a more or less preva- lent idea that if one incubated only small round_eggs they were likely to hatch a larger -percentage of pullets and, on the contrary, a predominance of cockerels was expected if bne in- cubateq all large eggs. As a matter of fact there seems to be no experimental evidence to support such a contention. ys-pep-lets Made only by C. I. HOOD CO. N Lowell, Mass. Especlally to correct sour stomach, to give digestive comfort, and prevent heart- burn and indigestion. Dose: One They show the yield and value of the The fact is that investigators now be- lieve that the size of the egg is an in- herited character so that if one in- cubates only small round eggs they will probably ultimately breed a race of hens that will lay only small rcund eggs and in the end have just as many cockerels. In other words the size and shape of the egg apparently has noth- ing whatever to do with the deter- mination of sex; so why not incu- bate big eggs to produce pullets that will lay big eggs.
