characteristic chimney that they used to
put on everything they built and from

school, store, house, church or whatever
kind of building they erected, tho same
chimney was there and told tho story OF
who designed it. This ono idoa plan led

Feeding Corn Fodder.

Tests of methods Of preparing and
feeding corn fodder, conducted under
the auspices Of the Maryland station,
gave results which warrant the follow
ing conclusions:
BY wetting and mixing the shredded
corn fodder with the grain ration there
ID more complete consumption of the
fodder-there being but half as much
waste matter-than when the fodder
and grain are fed dry and separate. The
method of mixing produced more milk
and kept the animals in better flesh.
The wetting of the fodder when fed
alone, and also when fed with grain,
made it more digestible. The method Of
feeding the ration as mixed feed
gave a larger percentage of digestible
matter than any Of the methods tested.
From these facts it is safe to say that
the method Of making a mixed feed OF
Q ration is the best method to adopt In
order to have the most complete con-
sumption and the best returns for the
food consumed.

Landscape Gardening.

Next to shade trees the thing most to be
priced in the yard is good green turf 1t
IL as the background and fore ground to a
group Of figures In picture, and gives
color, life and character to the whole The
aim, therefore, should be to secure as wide
IN expanse of fine, smooth turf az is possi-
bic without sacrificing ornamental plants
and flowers. With this end in view, walks
and flower beds should be arranged so as
TO cut up the turf as little as possible.
Nothing is more desirable in Landscape
gardening than bold areas Of lawns and
wide, farreaching vistas. And even in
the smallest Of front yards good taste may
secure something of that air Of breadth and
repose that constitutes the very soul OF
beauty and elegance in lapdscape.-se-
