5. By all means, get a pig. There
are several ways to get a pig. Some
buy pigs, some put them up for trespassing,
and still others get them
at night, so take your choice of these
three plans. If you can borrow
enough feed trom a nearby tenant
uho hus not la-en too lazy or too
proud to work, it would be a good
idea to try to buy a cow; provided,
of course, that you can buy her on
a-< K'dit till Fall. (By that time you
will be .done moved off).
). Don't try to put in more land
than your wife and children can cultivate
while you are in town. Guano
is so hard to buy these days, you'd
1>etter not use any at all, ^nd then
you won't have any to pay for. Don't
float any checks until next month.
January checks are dangerous, and
you may have to pay them if you
don't watch out. Also raise 3 or 4
chickens if any happen to roost near
your home. That's all.

CONTROU.ING THE LEATHER
| (Vhilex 1* a N'eW .Material Now
Being Used l|t Construction
Ever mi. man learned to make a
fin* he ha been more or 1<*h? successful
in mating hi* home, even
though iii? t of the heat he buccecdyd
in creating escaped through the walls
and roof, hut it is only recently that
the idea has come to him of trying to
keep his home coo) in summer,
Today it is entirely practicable to
maintain almost the same temperature
within a house the year round.
It is riot an expensive undertaking
either.
The idea originated in mnnufactur- J
ing. In ><i tain industrial plants'
where dele ate materials were handled,
it became necessary to maintain
a uniform temperature during the
process. Rooms were contrived with
heat stopping materials in the walls
and roof through which it was possible
to have absolute control of the
temperature, regardless of the outsail
weather.
In many of the houses recently
erected in America the same idea is
being applied. The heat-stopping material
introduced into the walls and
roof of homes that is in general use
is celotex, made of curie fibre. The
popularity of this material for this
purpose is partly due to the fact that
it-corm? ijj big, broad bourds that can
be used in place of sheathing, making
heat-control possible without added
expense. 1 he breadth of these boards,
too, add to the structural strength of
the hou-e.
By keeping the heat in in whiter
and the heat out in summer, this material
makes the home much more
comfortable and durable. It has also,
the quality of stopping moisture and i
noise so that the house is free from
dampness, and much quieter.
This material pays its own way,
for houses equipped with it require a
much smaller henting plant that can
be installed at less expense. In addition
there is an annual saving on
fuel of from twenty-five to thirty-five
per cent.
If it is desired to maintain a constant
temperature in the house, all
that is needed is the installation of
an air-cooling device similar to that
used in motion picture theatres.
These are now being manufactured in
small units adaptable to use in
houses. They are self-regulating.
Many persons who buy or build
homes are influenced mostly by three
thing-?appearance, location, and I
price. They find a house they like !
| the looks of, in a neighborhood that j
I they like, conveniently located as tj |
the man's business, and to the schools
and shops, and if it is within -the
family's means, they buy it. As a
, matter of fact, construction is a much
more important matter. A home not
properly built is much more expensive
to keep up, and needs constant
repairs. Unless this cane fibre material.
celotex. has been used in its walls
and root, it is likely to be much harder
and more expensive to heat in winter,
and to be much hotter in summer.
Borne Economics 1 rge Book Accounts
I he woman in the home partnership
often handles the greater part
of the family money and keeps the
accounts. The Bureau of Homo
Economics of the United States Department
of Agriculture believes iji
keeping records <>f family expenditures
for the same reasons that
business accounting is considered important.
The various groups of home
expenses?food, housing, clothing,
and so on? may be compared to the
different sections of a business enterprise.
W ithout a satisfactory system
of reeotds there would be no way
lor the business man to know which
departments were well managed and
which needed to be reduced. In a
similar way any group of household
expenses must stay within the budget
for that group. It is not enough,
therefore nn-iely to list home expenditures
in miscellaneous order and
add them up. They must be classified
under definite heads, so that
they can be analyzed, 'and 'uscd^as
a guide to future spending.
To simplify the hometpaker's task
in keeping track of household expenditures.
the Bureau of Home Eco
nomii s has planned a loose-leaf account
book with marginal indexes
and concise directions for entering
expenditures under the correct heads.
There are pages for estimating the
yearly income and probable expenditures,
for recoiling insurance and
investments, for making a summary
of property owned and a household
; Inventory. Special pages are furnishj
ed for farm families who depend in
on home-grown products.

* Sunday Afternoon Drive Ih Fatal
To Two Girl*.
Cheshire, Mass., Jan. 15. Two
I little girls were drowned and two
others barely escaped the same faUi
j when a new Chevrolet sedan in which
[ they were riding with Clyde Belcher,
I thirty-five, of Cheshire, fell through
the ice of the Cheshire reservoir this
; afternoon. The drowned children
I were Mabel Kelly, six years old, and
G a brie lie Rosen, five years old,
I Belcher had taken bis two nieces,
i Margaret and Mabel Kelly, twin sixyear-old
daughters of Mr. and Mrs.
I Henry Kelly, out for a Sunday afterj
noon drive. Cussing along the shora
| of the Cheshire reservoir, they picked
up Elaine Rosen, seven, and Gabrielle
Rosen, five, friends of the little Kelly
girls. Observing that the ice seemed
firm and was covered with skaters
Belcher derided it would Ik* amusing
to dri\c across it.
For .tome time he drove back and
forth i.n the ice, bringing the sedan
to a series of thrilling, skidding halts,
but suddenly, near the .east end,
where the tracks of the Boston and
Albany railroad skirt the reservoir,
the sedan crashed through the ice.
Belcher managed to save Margaret
Kelly and Elaine Rosen, who were jn
the front seat with him, but was unable,
even though he dove under the
ice twice, to extricate the other two.
When darkness fell late this afternoon,
firemen from North Adams,
near here, were still endeavoring
\ainly to get the sedan to the surface.
