Art and Butter Making.

Recently we saw a picture of a
creamery that had grounds beautif1ed
by art and nature. Clumps Of ever
green's weras here and there, while on
different parts of the walls of the fac
tory itself were seen climbing vines.
Flowering shrubs were also in evil
dence. The whole presented a picture
of the most inviting kind. Some may
ask What has that to do with bring
ing milk and making butter?" The
answer is that it has much to do with
those operations. The fact that the
grounds and the buildings are well
kept establishes standard of cleaE-
ness. The man that will look after
the grounds and keep them tidy and
beautiful will be no less careful with
the inside of the factory, and he will
see that the watts, the floors and all
utensils are also tidy and clean The
flowers have a reflex influence on the
butter maker and the employees, and
without doubt exert very great In
f1uence on the men that haul the
milk Give us more of the beautiful
in connection with the work OF the
creamery and we shall have more care
and more interest manifested in the
work of milk handling and butter
making.

SPENDS LIFE DOING GOOD.
Robert Treat Paine Has Unique Ideas
on Subject of Charity.

The subject of this sketch WIS born
in Boston sixty-six years ago, gradu-
ated from Harvard and spent two
years in foreign travel before he
studied law. He was well established
in the legal profession, when, some
thirty years ago, he determined to
abandon law and devote himself to
philanthropic work. He was one of
the foremost in the organization of
the Associated Charities of Boston,
which has done so much to alleviate
the suffering incident to poverty and
of which he is now president. He is
at the head of various philanthropic
associations and is also president of
the American Peace society. Mr..
Paine is one of those who Deleve
that the strength of the strong and
the wisdom of the wise should be used
to help the weak and the foolish. He
also believes that men and women
engaged in strenuous struggle for
existence cannot be helped primarily
by cnarity OF philanthropy, but by co

general emulation. The ceremony
consisted chiefly of strewing flowers
upon the ocean which was thus made
literally to bloom like the rose. This
unique and beautiful idea originated
with Mrs. Armitage s. c. Forbes of
Los Angeles.
Mrs. Forbes is descendant OF
John Page, Philadelphia's first male
white child. She lived in Kansas in
her youth and married an Englishman
S. c. Forbes-with whom
she went to London to live. There
her taste for art and literature de-
veloped and was increased by years of
travel in the old world. For some
time she has lived in Los Angeles.

Birds for Fall Sbowa

From Farmers Review: In select
ing our birds for the fall and winter
shows we get them out in March or
April, and when about four months
old we pick out few of the best cock
erels-say about twenty-looking well
to form, color, comb and legs. These
are put in a yard by themselves and
are crowded right along with wheat,
oats, corn and beef scraps or ground
bone fresh, and lots of green grass,
millet seed in small quantity and
about three weeks before the show
add ground f1axseed to the mash. 1t
gives fine luster to the feathers.
Select a like number of pullets and
feed in the same way, keeping them
by themselves. Now about a week
before sending them away to the show
make your selection from these birds,
and make it point to handle them
every day, SO that they will not be
frightened when the judge takes them
from the coop. Often a point or two
is gained in this way. If you have
white birds, wash them in soft water
to which a little bluing has been
added.N Then take a toothbrush and
clean the legs, and rub with olive oil
and sulphur. Then put in a clean
show coop and keep in warm room
until dry. Colored fowls do not re-
Quire the washing, but clean their
legs and comb. If you intend to put
male and female in same coop mate
them several days before. Out of your
first selection of twenty cockerels and
twenty pullets you can select three
or four of each that ought to be win
ners. Look your birds over carefully
to see il black feathers are not where
they would disqualify the bird or pin
feathers on leg and between toes

Good That Men Do
WORK OF A PHILANTHRoPIsT.

Noble Institution of the Sailors Snug
Harbor on Staten Island.
Last week the Sailors Snug Har-
Dor at New Brighton, Staten Island,
celebrated the Tooth anniversary of its
conception.
Capt. Robert Richard Randall was
the founder. Toward the end of the
18th century he purchased a tract of
land in Manhattan island. which to-
day comprises nearly IL city blocks.
By will drawn up in June 1901, he
left this property to be applied to the
founding of a home for the care of
aged, decrepit and worn-out sailors.
AT its start the institution was capable
of caring for only 80 odd sailors, now
1T has 900 inmates. There are now
so buildings comprised in the home.
The property yields an annual income
of s3SO,OOO.
To be admitted to the Sailors Snug
Harbor one must furnish satisfactory
evidence that he has sailed at least
five years under the flag of the United
States, either in the merchant or
naval service.
Capt. Randall was a native of New
Jersey and was a merchant and ship
master. In 1901 he died. In 1884 his re-
mains were exhumed in ST. Marks
Churchyard, New York, and were rein

rests -or far19 Green.
Without good materials it is impos-
sible to spray successfully. There are
on the market many kinds of spray
ing materials and some of them are
about worthless. This is especially so
in such states as Illinois where there
are no inspection laws. In many Other
states the laws make it difficult to
sell bogus Paris green or other bogus
poisons, and so large quantities OF
such stuff are dumped on the Illinois
markets One result of this condition
is the discouraging of those that at
tempt to spray. They buy this bogus
material on the market, mix it ac-
cording to known rules, use it as di-
rected, and fail to do any good to
their trees. There are several ways
of telling good from bogus Paris
green The pure article is light emer-
aid green in color. Put a little on
some window glass, tap the glass and
as the poison settles down it will re-
main a light emerald green. If 1t
shows white streaks it is impure. II
Paris green is pure it is an i'm
palpable powder. If it is not pure
1t will cake. If the impure is put on
a plate it will not fall apart readily.
Another test is to put some ammonia
into the Paris green. 1t will dissolve
the pure; it will not dissolve the i'm
pure.

DEATH OF DR.. }. n. RARRows
Distinguished President of Oberlin


College Succumbs to Pneumonia.
Rev. DIR. John II. Barrows, president
of Oberlin college, died at his home
in Oberlin, Ohio, last week.
He had been sick for several weeks
with pneumonia, but the immediate
cause of death was heart failure, his
illness having taken sudden turn for
the worse.
For several hours before his death
he was kept alive by injections of salt
solution.
DR.. Barrows was in the height of his
usefulness and the prime of his sue
cess. He had risen to high rank
among the educators of the day and
he had succeeded in raising more than
a million dollars for the university
for whose advancement he worked
with untiring zeal. He was known
everywhere as an eminent clergyman,
a finished orator, distinguished
scholar, a philosopher, an author and
a convincing logician. 1t was on ac-
count of his powers of reasoning and

A Cour.. of Na,nr. Study.

Cornell University has introduced
something of an innovation into its
agricultural work in the form of a
home course Of nature study. The
work is under the direction of Profess
sor John Craig. Lesson sheets are
sent out to all parts of the state, and
are extensively used in the farmers
reading clubs and reading circles.
These lesson sheets are on agricultural
topics and are followed by examina-
ton papers, which are to be filed out
and returned. The work has the back
ing Of the legislature of New York,
which has made an appropriation to
carry it on There are said to be in
excess of 10000 persons taking part in
this scheme for increase of agricultur-
al education

Applying Sprays.

The proper way to apply spraying
solutions is in the form of mist. This
mist should never be applied long
enough for the water to drip from
the leaves, as that will result in
scalding. Here comes in the neces-
sity of experience in spraying. The
man that does the work in the best
way must know exactly when to STOP
The spraying business is thus seen to
be developing into a science. 1t used
to be thought that any man could
spray If he only had apparatus and
properly mixed materials. As time
went on many disasters were reported,
which were later seen to be due to
inexperience on the part of the op-
orator. The condition Of the atmos-
phere must also be taken into con-
II the humidity is only
such as to wet the leaves, spraying
may be done; but if the leaves are
dripping it is too wet to spray.

Watering Trees.


Unless the owner of trees under
stands some Of the more important
principles of growth, there is danger
that he will, when applying water, do
more harm than good. To apply wa
ter in small quantities through the
drouthy season is to cause the roots
in the ground to turn toward the sur
face and grow In that direction. Then
when the watering is discontinued for
any reason the roots dry out much
more quickly than If they had not
been watered at all. When water is
applied to trees it should be in sufd-
cient abundance to soak the ground to
depth of several feet. The roots
Wal then not turn up to get moisture.
II it is necessary to apply but little
water at a time it should not be put
on the surface of the ground. Dig a
hole and put in large piece of drain
pipe so that the water being thrown
into this pipe will soak deep into the
ground. In case of not having a
drain pipe or piece of tile, hole can
be made sufficiently deep to act as
reservoir. Let the water soak into
the ground from this hole. The idea
is to get the water to the roots from
some other direction rather than from
the surface Of the ground.

Enslish Sparrows.

From the Farmers Review: 1 would
say that according to my observation
the house, or English, sparrow is In
creasing not only in but also outside of
the towns 1t has become established
in large colonies along the neighbor-
hood in which 1 now live, and l have
also made similar observations near
Elmhurst, Ill. 1t seems to limit its
nesting to the neighborhood of e--ms.
or at least to roadsides. have not
observed it in the fields or woods. Is
food being chiefly derived from the
road, it naturally prefers to keep near
it. As to its harmfulness to agricul-
ture should say that it is more in
direct than direct. 1t drives away
more useful species of birds, not so
much ky direct opposition as by pre-
occupying the ground. It's food is
composed of insects to but a sr1aH
degree. 1t is therefore virtually a
useless bird to man. To eradicate it.

feat. Bounties have proven

PLENTY OF BOYS IN BERLIN.
Peculiar Distinction Enjoyed by the
German Capital.

Peculiar Distinction Enjoyed by the
German Capital.
In general statisticians have to
complain of the unequal increase in
the number of female children as
compared with that of males. 1t is
interesting, therefore, to note that
Berlin, the capital of the military
monarchy of Prussia, has always brok-
en- the record in that respect, so that
Kaiser Wilhelm need not fear that the
ranks of his legions will be thinned.
Last year 52,245 children were born
in Berlin. OF these 27,O77 were boys
and 25,1 ,16S were girls. showing an in
crease to the credit of the male popu-
lation of 1 1,909. Berlin, for some rea-
son or other, seems to have the privi-
lege of turning out more boys into the
world, for, taking the numbers from
1891 to 1900, we find there was an
average annual increase in the male
progeny of the city during the ten
years of 1851 over the female-in
other words, out of every 1000 in
fants born, 513 were boys and 4S7
girls. The year 1920 was the record
year last century, when 525 boys were
born out of 1000 babies.

Cooperation Among EntomoIoRists.
Recently the entomologists of Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon
met to formulate plans for suppressing
the injurious insects that infest those
states. 1t is probably the beginning
of much cooperation in this matter.
AS it has been, the authorities in each
state have been doing what they could
under considerable difficulties. This
conference was called to enable the
entomologists to talk over their vari-
GUS problems together. Doubtless this
alone added much to their ability to
take effective measures against the in
sects. This is especially necessary in
the case of such insects as the Cod
ling moth, which has not yet got a
firm foothold in the states named.
Without doubt all of our states could
find much in common for such con-
ferences. Sooner or later there will
have to be evolved some general plan
of working in the country as a whole.
