Have you ever wondered what color to paper 
your Dining-Room, or what disposition to make of the 
Attic Chamber, or how best to treat the Staircase or Veranda 
. —then you need “THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL” for the prac¬ 
tical assistance this charming magazine offers. 
Many modest homes reveal far better taste, possess a higher artistic 
atmosphere and give more actual comfort than mansions that have 
cost fortunes. 
The Purpose of The House Beautiful 
is to lead the way to such homes; to discuss and illustrate the architectural 
possibilities of the home that is to cost, say, from $1,500 up; to take up the scope 
of landscape gardening; to treat on decorative schemes of effective, though eco¬ 
nomical character; to familiarize its readers with the value and proper uses of 
things old — -Colonial furniture, old china, silver, pewter, and to guide them safely 
in the selection of things new. 
Its Contributors are Authorities 
Every detail of every room and corner of the house and garden is specifically considered by 
unquestioned authorities in the pages of “THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL," the keynote of its 
policy being to show 
Wherein Taste Goes Farther Than Money 
/ 
If you are a lover of Home and Things Beautiful you will quickly discover / 
this magazine to be indispensable. /.

the making of a first-class breed. We have 
nearly a hundred chicks of this one kind 
in our pens, which vouches for our faith 
in them. 
Finally, for success with young chicks, 
do not feed them sooner than forty-eight 
hours after hatching, except small grit and 
some water. Their needs have been sup¬ 
plied by Nature for the first two or three 
days of their existence. When feathering 
out feed plenty of beef scraps. Watch out 
for head lice during the first month, and 
study well the ways of those who succeed, 
and copy them. Ulysses R. Perrine 
Book Reviews 
Seeing Nature First. By Clarence M. 
Weed. Illustrated by W. I. Beecroft and 
from photographs. 8vo, pp. 309. Phila¬ 
delphia : J. B. Lippincott Company. $2.00 
net. 
Commencing with the first swelling of 
the maple buds and alder catkins in the 
spring, Mr. Weed leads his readers through 
the four seasons of the year, pointing out 
and explaining many wayside things of in¬ 
terest as he goes. He tells of the curious 
forms of plant and animal life which, 
though all about us, are often unsuspected, 
and his book has a distinct personal charm 
that ought to interest any normal reader in 
the things of which it treats. No attempt 
has been made to write of the strange 
forms of distant lands: on the contrary, 
the information concerns the every-day 
natural history of anv average country dis¬ 
trict in the Eastern States. 
Productive Swine Husbandry. By G. 
E. Day, B.S.A. Illustrated. 8vo, pp. 330. 
Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Company. 
A manual for the swine owner and 
breeder, treating of different breeds, their 
points, care and value, the construction of 
pens and buildings, diseases and treatment, 
and many other points of value to all who 
are interested in the improvement of 
swine. There are some seventy-odd illus¬ 
trations, both from photographs and line 
drawings. 
School and Home Gardens. By W. 
H. D. Meier, A.M. 8vo. Illustrated with 
nhotograohs and diagrams. Pp. 319. New 
York : Ginn & Co. 
Now that interest in practical manual 
training is increasing so rapidly in our 
schools, there would seem to be a place for 
a book such as this that demonstrates 
clearly and distinctly the practical side of 
gardening. “School and Home Gardens,” 
as its name implies, has a double appeal, 
for it is perhaps equally valuable to school¬ 
teacher and pupils and country home own¬ 
ers. The first two-thirds of the volume 
treat of flower gardening, both inside the 
house and outdoors, while the last hundred 
pages are devoted to vegetable gardens.
