March Farm Notes
St. Patrick’s Day is the W
date for sowing sweet pens. It is
well to remember that garden pens
should be planted or. the m
time—at least a. few rows—it at :13
possible. as the cool. moist weather
of .1er gives them their best and
quickest growth. After 3 period at
rest and light feeding. tho Cm
should soon be the main part at the
ration. as it is rich in energy.
Shoulders need to be watched and.
particularly. kept clean u "out nfid

Besides Erin" room. dining alcove. kitchen and bath onthe first floor,
Many prefer a bedroom on the first floor.
The rest
of the sleeping quarters are on thg second floor, which is large and roomy.
A

p The opening between the dining alcove and living room is provided
with French doors. sovtiga't the dining table may easily be moved into the living

The bathroom and stairs are accessible without going through another
_ room-a feature not always found in ordinary homes.
The basement. which is the full sine of the house. is accessible from the
outside as well as from the interior; contains heating plant, la-Endry and
