F. Rusproperly and creep-fesell of the Missouri College of Agriculture. It Is because of this fact that the college has developed the Missouri plan of sheep movement, which has for. its goal the production of lambs, i The plan Is being followed intensively in northeast Missouri In this section of the state, including 22 counties, there are 405,000 head of sheep. This is nearly of the total number In Missouri and 100,000 head more than in the entire state of Tennessee. The major portion of Income from these flocks is from the production of market lambs. During the same period wool has sold at 35 to 40 cents a pound and returned about $3 per fleece. A comparison of these two sources of income from sheep raising shows the importance of developing the lamb industry. , One essential that will help to proA duce top lambs is desirable grain mixture to start lambs is one consisting of two parts cracked corn and one part bran.. When lambs are about two months old reduce gradually the bran content of the ration, nntil it is eliminated and feed six parts shelled corn to one part peameal until lambs are sized linseed-oi- l marketed. Here are six reasons why pays: .1. Lambs will be ready for market two weeks sooner and will weigh five to ten pounds more per head. 2. They will shrink less in shipping. 8. Fewer culls will be produced. 4. They will dress a higher percent; age. 5. They will bring more dollars to the producer, because fat lambs are in greatest demand. 6. They will make more economical use of the grain they consume than at : any other time during their lives. In iambs the following essentials should be carefully observed: (1) , Put creep, if possible, in shed where sun shines. (2) Have your time first creep ready for use lambs are two weeks old. (3) Keep troughs clean. (4) Feed all lambs will eat (5) Dont stop .the grain when the ewes are turned on grass. d, .i : WHISKERS AND ALL ; Farmer Giles from the country went Into a booth to phone yesterday on his visit to town, but couldnt get his number.

Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only Inclose stamp for reply. Economy is many times an outstanding asset with prospective home builders when selecting a design for their new home. What runs up the cost of building a home is the Irregular shape of a house which requires an Irregular shape foundation. Each angle or turn in the foundation requires almost twice as much masonry as the same wall running straight That is why architects in designing small homes ' stick pretty closely to straight lines. The home building design shown in the accompanying illustration is a rectangular home, 24 feet deep by 26 feet wide. However, the .plainness that might come by these dimensions is broken by an artistic open porch at one end. The entrance, too, has two-ce- nt V? ' - ' ' t. . to do away'with the plain appearance; Shown on the floor plans for this home are six rooms and bath. On the first floor the entrance door leads Into the stair hall with a large living room, 11 feet 6 inches by 18 feet connected with a ball by a cased opening. The second cased opening leads into a dining room, and the back of the Pa said my dress was so shocking 1 shouldnt wear It." What did you do then?"

Fussy and ' elaborate details not only detract from the architectural merits of a house, but needlessly add to its cost , The realization of this fundamental architectural principle is slowly being driven home to the American people, with the result that we are beginning to see a great improvement in ' our domestic architecture. The increased cost of building that followed the armistice has at least one good effect. It made people give more serious consideration to the materials used in home building and greatly increased the use of the more permanent materials. People appreciate more than ever that there is little difference between the cost of the cheaper materials and the best,, especially when the difference is reduced to a percentage of the total Investment. The use of better materials and construction and the growing appreciation of the good in architectural-desigIs adding to the attractiveness of many an American community. Common Brick Is Best ; - creep-feedin- g . Why such a hurry? I have a terrible lot of work to do and nobody to help me. "What about the little girl you used ' to have in the office?" "She is not able to work any more. . "How is that? She Is marrled now for English Type Home People who are insistent upon hav- ing their English type home reproduce as nearly as possible in appearance and effect the originals beyond the ocean are careful to have common brick specified for the exterior walls. And the rougher, the more irregular, the harder burned and deeper in color they happen to' be, the better. For it was of that character of brick that most of the oldest English manor houses were built Many of them, Dog I t ' - , - Il.-.L.J - v . Second Floor Plan: stair hall is a kitchen 8 feet by 11 feet This arrangement of connecting the hall and two rooms with a cased openings gives an air of spaciousness and makes practically air of the first floor into open living quarters. Coupled to this is an open fireplace at one end of the living room which breaks up the square wall effect. Double french doors lead from the dining room to the open porch. The stairs lead to a central square hall on the second floor off of which opens the three bedrooms and bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are larger than those found in a small home, while the third one is about the usual size. The house is of frame construction with clapboard siding. shutters on the windows upstairs add to the colonial effect of the exterior. ' This is the type of home building design which is popular where there is opportunity for surrounding the house with flowers, trees and shrubs. As the illustration shows, this is a most attractive home and can be built at an unusually low cdst. hundreds of years old. are still standing and in use. The English mason of the earlier days was not the scrupulously careful artisan that Itf his prototype of the present age. Nor were tfie architects so careful to have everything work out to a nicety, In many of the older English houses are found walls that, instead of being plumb and exact, bulge and recede in a manner most inexplicable. Yet even so these walls have ; stood for centuries and today are serving as models for ambitious architects. . . . Painting Iron Work Is . . Not So Difficult Task Many home owners consider a difficult task the painting of galvanized iron and steel leader pipes, gutters, roofing, portable garages, and so on. Paint often scales or peels off if metal is new and the zinc coating left by the galvanizing process slippery. First, one should wait t some six months or so to allow temperature changes to roughen the smooth surface. Then clean with a wire brush any' spots which may have begun to corrode. Red lead and oil can be used as the priming coat, brushed on well, especially on bolts, comers and edges. . After letting this dry for three or four days a second coat of white lead paint tinted light gray will hide the orange surface, and the last coat may be anjr color desired.. The last coat is no.t a different problem from a painting job on wood. . .... Home Entrance The entrance should be hospitable and so placed as to help the harmony of the building not necessarily in the exact center of the front wall, but in harmony with the other features of the house. creep-feedin- g ; by-th- e Mineral Mixtures Are Beneficial to Swine The following mineral mixtures for hogs are recommended by Carl P. Thompson of the animal husbandry department of the Oklahoma A. and M. college for those who wish to mix their own ; . . lime or ground limestone two parts and common salt one parts ; (2) bone meal, spent bone black or bone flour two parts and common salt one part; (3) wood ashes two parts and common salt one part ; (4) lime or ground limestone one part, bone meal, bone black or bone flour one part and common salt (1) air-slake- Air-slake- d Used on English Golf Courses Caddies creep-feedin- .. Two dog caddies are to be found on the Bungay golf course in Surrey, England. Betty, a retriever, and" Jill, a terrier, who are seen regularly on the links. They are owned by Walter Prime, the club professional, and between them they have retrieved over 10,000 balls. Members can take Betty or Jill with them on their rounds, and should they slice a ball into the rough the dogs will find it for them. Betty will follow the flight of a ball and at a word from Prime will set off in pursuit and lie down beside it without touching it, so that It can be played. A spaniel belonging to Gordon Lockhart, of the Gleneagles club, has a remarkable faculty for finding balls. Lockhart employs his dog and a caddie when he is practicing, for he can drive bqll after ball .and rely on the dog to bring them all back. . Beefsteak Oyster In the Puget sound, Washington, an extra large, oyster is being cultivated which, on account of its size, is called the beefsteak oyster. It comes from Japan and the seedlings were brought over here by the million some time ago. These oysters are very succulent and in addition to the size, they have the additional recommendation that they mature In three years, whereas the oysters of the Atlantic coasts require-, four years to fully develop.

Mrs. Askura d one part Thompson recommends that the mineral mixture be placed before the hogs at all time's, to permit them to ifeat what their appetites call for. If it is desired ; to put the mineral in their feed add one pound of the mix--, ture to 100 pounds. of f6ed. ; i Market Discriminates Against Heifer Calf The market seems to discriminate against heifer calves and .apparently quotes higher prices for steer calves of equal finish and quality. Very often such difference In market price results from the, fact that the heifer calves have been on full feed too long. If they had been marketed 80 or 60 days sooner,-thewould have returned a greater profit , Heifer calves, which are full fed on grain as long as steer calves, will carry more surface fat as well as more fat. ; Their carcasses are not as desirable. , . ar Avoid; Market Losses - When ready for market, hogs should be assembled a sufficient length of time prior to the date of shipment to allow them to become rested. They should not be crowded Into small pens or houses nor fed heavy rations. It they are driven to the loading point they should not be rushed on the way. The loading chutes should not be too. steep, should be made secure, and have the sides protected so that the animals will not fail off.
