Much of the work can begin inside with such A y f ? sm 3? easily managed things as turning a door into a built-ibookcase, cutting down the legs of a dining room table to make a handy coffee table, removing an archway to make place for glass blocks or modernizing walls with plywood or plastic. Don't be too startled with pictures you've seen of houses of the future. Remember, these are products of evolution and take time. For most people, their various features are incorporated Into homes little by little. Many older homes do not have as much light or storage space as is necessary. These are two important features which it's important to try to achieve, even though you do only a small amount at a time. Lots of homes are full of clutter such as heavy old banisters and s handrails on the stairs, with columns between rooms or in the hall, ugly cabinets over mantles, not enough space for books, heavy pieces of furniture Smart Storage Space Milk Products Add To Turkey Profits More Eggs Result Of Judicious Use n - V v V v UlLY REUNION . . .

Both flocks weta fed a ration consisting breeder mash in of commercial pellet form, some oats and a little corn. One flock had 130 hens and the other 204. Breeding and management of the two flocka was identical A pelletized milk product was added to the ration of the smaller flock. A few square feet of clay tile and some built-i- n cupboards worked wonders in giving this old kitchen more storage space. Even space underneath the sink, so often wasted in old kitchens, was boxed in and now serves for storing the drying rack and cleaning materials. Drainboards and counter are finished with clay tile because of its ease in clearing and waterproof qualities. The tile was also used to face the lower cabinets, giving them a trim look, and for wall space over the counter tops. Take the case of an old dining room table which is round and was found too small as the family grew in size. The first thing to be done is to saw the legs down to coffee table height. Next the old, dark finish is removed with varnish remover and sanding. The table may be finished with lacquer or painted with a high glossy paint, whatever is needed to match the room. Other furniture renovating tricks may consist of taking off "gingerbread" the name frequently applied to ornate and excessive trim on legs, arms and backs of chairs, The sofas, tables and cabinets. furniture will then have to be to show the good and simple basic lines of the pieces. It's Easy to Renovate Ceilings and Walls Have you a cracked plaster ceiling or one where the plaster is constantly falling? This is not only an unattractive sight, but also an unsafe one. Patching mere cracks may be done by yourself with many available preparations.

As for wallpaper, there are many kinds of ready-pastepapers available which need only to be dampened and hung, each step of which is quite simple. Clever Use of Doorways Helps Modernize Rooms Most men will readily take on a carpentering job if it's not too extensive, so get the man of the house to aid you in making some changes in the doorways. Closet doors, when they're in the living room, dining room or library of a home always look useless because these rooms are so busy. Wood panels in a closet door may be replaced with glass set in a frame. Attach to the door some bookshelves with their own backs. This treatment in no way interferes with the closet opening, and it saves space because books or figurines may be used on the shelves. The glass opens from the outside. Obey only one precaution: place only unbreakable objects on the shelves as you will be opening and closing the door. Do you have open spaces going from living to dining rooms? Many older homes have these and they can be turned into wonderful and space-savers- . attrat'-v- e The upper part can be constructed into a colonnade, while the lower half is into a china converted closet.

Careful records of egg produc tion and feed consumption were maintained from the start of egg production, February 21, to May 26 when the birds were marketed because of the lateness of the hatching season. Both flocks were producing at better than 40 per cent when marketed. laying period During the the 130 hens in the flock receiving the pelletized milk product laid a total of 6,257 eggs, an average of 48.1 eggs each. In the same period the 204 hens in the control flock laid 7,811 eggs, or an average of 38.3 each. This meant that the test flock produced better than 25 per cent more egjjs. Rate of production was 51.2 per cent for the test flock compared to 40 per cent for the conrol flock. Eggs from the test flock graded 91.6 per cent saleable for hatching against 89.3 per cent for the control flock. With hatching eggs at 32 cents each, this meant that each hen receiving the pelletized milk product produced an average of $14.11 worth of hatching eggs, or $3.17 more than the average for the control flock, which was $10.94. y Ancient Beans Enclose 25 cents tn coins for each pattern desired.

The world food crisis, still in a dangerous phase in the early part of the year, became notably easier with the excellent harvests in many parts of the world and, more particularly, the bumper crops in western Europe and the United States. All except a few of the more pessimistic began to regard the food situation with cautious optimism. Famine for once was not prevalent in any large portion of the world during 1948. As bumper crop piled on bumper crop, worries returned in the surplus exporting areas, particularly the United States, as to whether world markets would continue to absorb the surpluses, and how price support programs and accumulating stockpiles might be managed. This turn of events received em phasis, as evidence accumulated that the acreage already sown under favorable conditions, and to be sown with wheat for 1949 har vest, would probably be a new high record.

I would like to know what to take marks off with. 1 mean when something is bumped against it and leaves a black mark. I have a small child, so you can imagine how many bumps the refrigerator gets. A cleaning agent removes the finish. I would appreciate this information. ANSWER: As the refrigerator is still new, why not call up the dealer who sold it to you and ask him either to come and clean it up for ypu or else recommend a cleansing preparation? I could give you a better answer if you had told me what the materia is, since it is not porcelain. If the finish is washable, which it certainly ought to be, try a damp cloth sprinkled with a scratchless scouring powder, rub very lightly, and follow with another clean, damp cloth. The powder should not be used except in instances of stubborn spots. Mild soap and water on a damp cloth should be sufficient. 4 Indian beans from varieties reportedly many thousands of years old are being tested by Cornell plant growers for qualities that may help growers get better crops. The beans came from the Allegany reservation and the samples are shown here by T. L. York, assistant In plant breeding at Cornell. Superphosphate Assists Effectiveness of Manure One load of manure can be made to do the work of two in topdressing fields, if superphosphate is added before manure is spread, says Prof. C. J. Chapman, of the University of Wisconsin. He suggests putting 25 to 30 pounds of superphosphate in the spreader as the manure goes out onto the field, or scattering superphosphate in bam gutters at the rat of a pound per cow per day. -- WITH THE PACKAGE!
