The best authorities on Runner ducks agree that the purebred Pen- J died Runner lays pure white eggs, and many of tliein, as invariably as does purebred leghorn of different varie- As a result the Runner duck earned the name of \the Leghorn the duck family.\ As a utility fowl the true Penciled Runner stands well In the lead, and other \arieties have usually been : from this one, they, too, are prov- their worth, -when given a chance. It Is fortunate that w e have at least breed that has demonstrated Itself a la> er, and for that reason Is kept more for utility than show. This makes the Runner duck a farmer's bird. The Australian and New Zealand egg records are among the proud achievements of those countries, and a wonderment to many poultry- men. In referring to these records, breeder of Penciled Runners gets much consolation for some of the best records of those countries have been made by this duck. In fact, the Penciled Runner has won over -the bustling little Leghorn there. In Australia the Utility club has egs-lajmg contests of great interest. Ducks and other fowl from that con tinent and New Zealand compete In these contests, and the rivalry is even ptater than m our fancy shows tn Ibis country The competing ducks Here seem to oe mostly Runners and Orpingtons and both of these have won fine places. Most of the breeders SHADE NEEDED FOR POULTRY of ducks there consider six ducks plenty for a pen in breeding for best utility qualities, and it is very interest ing to note the type of duck the win ners of the contests there are, In com parison with our present Bhow types here. Their ducks are much more heavy and broad, and the type is en- tlrely different in both Runners and Buff Orpington ducks. This is some thing for our utility breeders to con sider. Probably the world's official record is held by one of those Ne w Zealand Runners. This duck laid 320 eggs in. 365 days in her second year. She laid 512 eggs In 23 months, including the molting season. A daughter of this duck laid 177 eggs in 179 consecutive days, and 293 eggs In 314 actual con secutive laying days. When she was two years and eight months old her record was over 500 eggs. The breeder of these ducks mated the females to drakes whose dams had a record of 200 eggs a year or better. In the Christchurch test the Bufl Orpington ducks made a fine record, Both Orpington and Runner duckE have made find records in the Cam bridge tests there, and one pen ol both Runners and Orpingtons made a remarkable showing for several months after, those tests had ended. In 5% months' after the above tests ended one breeder's ducks laid as follows: Bufl Orpingtons, 772 eggs; Penciled Run ners, 749 eggs. This is an average ol 129 and 125 per duck for the time above quoted. By WILLIAM H. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the aubject of building, for the readers of this papsr. On account or his wide 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 . 1827, Prairie avenue, Chicago, IIL. and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. An English-style cottage with hip roof and basement makes a very satis factory small house for certain level locations where it 1b Impractical to excavate deep enough for a regular cellar. There are many towns In prairie sec tions of the country where the fall is not sufficient to put in deep sewers. Also, in the more southern sections. It is not necessary to dig sewers deep down into the ground to avoid frost It I b cheaper and more satisfactory to lay them near the surface. On s~uch building sites basement houses are quite common, and this medium-sized cottage, with Its cool, roomy basement, Is well liked. The basement, being principally above ground. Is supplied with windows al most as large^as ordinary house win dows. The idea Is to make the basement into a splendid workroom. It Is nat urally cool in summer, warm in winter and comfortable to work in during all seasons. It is the proper placo for the laundry and storeroom, besides pro viding conveniences for doing a great many household chores. Hip roofs are common in some com munities. They are well liked be cause they are neat and attractive in appearance, and because everybody is accustomed to seeing a hjp roof, or cottage roof, as it is often called, so that such roofs are l<scal favorites, and they become fixed as a permanent fashion. The pitch of the ,roofB varies In dif ferent sections, according to the amount of rainfall. Also, the material for covering roofs varies In the differ ent parts of the country, owing to local fashions o r customs, and to the fact that certain roofing materials are cheaper in some places, and conse quently are more in demand. The foundation of a houBe like this usually is made of concrete or stone selection of, certain house designs. All the living rooms and bedrooms are high enough from the ground to be.safe from ground moisture, which is another consideration'when building a one-story house'in this way. The plan shows three living rooms on one side of the house and two bed rooms and a bathroom on the other side. The living rooms usually are laid out for the sur-ny side, and the bedrooms on the north or east! 'It is easy to reverse a floor plan to bring' the rooms, on the right side of the house. , * In building cottage or bungalows it has been found that a partition Unusual Frock of Whits Taffeta Floor Plan of Cottage. through the center of the house, di viding the living rooms from the sleep ing rooms, is tho most satisfactory ar- rangement The bathroom naturally belongs be tween the-twa bedrooms, as shown on this plan. The exposed Interior woodwork all through this little house Is plain and dl8t , 1 , nc H ve foaturOB , tn material more ,__.„., , „ ,»,„ I easily kept immaculate.

A roplica of U , In somo beau tiful wash fabric, might embody its neat, being selected because the de sign is smooth and straight, with square corners. These strips of plain straight wood have taken the place of old-fashioned moldings that often were deeply recessed. People building those cottage houses like to see considera ble interior woodwork, so that mill- J work factories are turning out pat- nating the design. Now that tho weaves of cotton are showing that almost any surface and texture may bo wrought In it, and thoso fabrics stand any amount of tubbing, tho loveliest of gowns are designed of whlto cotton materials. Tho strong, Cheap Shed Built of Lumber Is Eas ily Arranged Where. Fowls Are Not Permitted in Orchard.

Many a poultryman, striving tc breed up a strain of egg-producing hens, makes the mistake of buying hatching eggs or breeding stock from a dlffefent breeder each year. It pays far better to g o back, for a numbei of years, to a breeder who has stock that mates well with and Improves the size and egg-producing qualities of the progressive poultryman's stock. So reports James O. Hatpin, head fit the poultry department of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, who has found that the number of reliable poultry breeders producing Just the sort ol breeding stock generally needed h rapidly Increasing. He believes that -the next few - years will be a still greater Increase along this line foi the breeder can afford to line breed Tne foundation waifs may reach up his stock and take a great deal oi to tno ma j n house floor, or they may pains building up -a strain ot high Btop at or a m t i e above the lot grade egg producers.
