JAPANESE NAPLES.
interesting Facts About the Common
Shade Tree of Our Cities.

The japanese naples were, as their
name implies, imported from Japan,
and are noticeable on lawns and in
the city parks for their reddish-pur-
pie coloring and the deep-cut leaves.
These indentations extend almost to
the stem of the leaf, cutting it into
i've or seven distinct fingers. which
in some cases are so slender as to
give it the appearance of feather
rather than a leaf Prospect Park,
Brooklyn, has particularly large
and fine collection of these tiny trees
or shrubs. The red or swamp maple,
the wild species of our woods, has
small leaf, very easy to distinguish.
1t is divided into three main points,
each of which is cut up by small
teeth along its entire edge. They are
famous for their brilliant red colors
in the fall
The highest pinnacle Of tree devel-
oDment. however, seems to have been
reached when the silver maple was
formed in natures crucible. Think
CT all the good points in a physically
perfect, high strung, blooded horse,
apply these points to tree life, and
we have the silver maple. From the
ground up to the topnaost leafiet we
find expressed in every atom of the
tree strength. vitality, purity, beauty
and usefulness. The trunk of this
tree is as sleek and clean-cut as any
one could imagine tree to be. The
leaf is beautiful in it's shape and
color, the under side being a silvery
white-from which it takes it's name
and as one stands under it and
looks up he see a silver dome; or if
a breeze is blowing the green and sill
yer leaves simmer and vibrate like
an aspen, giving the appearance of
pale green fire, which is especially
noticeable on the approach of a
storm. The leaf is five pointed, and
the entire edge is again indented with
well defined teeth. This is the COM
mon shade tree of our cities-From

Setting a Sleeps Broken Leg.

Sheep have weak bones, and If one
of the legs is caught between bars
partly let down the bone may be
snapped like a dry twig. Then the
shepherd who does not understand his
business fully thinks he has a sheep
lost and knocks 1t on the head. This
is waste Of the animal, whose bones
will mend readily by simple treatment,
Take some thick strawboard or wrap
ping paper, steep it in thin mixture
Of plaster ana water, set the broken
bone in its natural position and wrap Il
few strips Of this paper around the leg.
Then take a long bandage Of cotton
cloth and dip this in the plaster, wrap
ping this over the paper It will set
stiff and hard in very short time and
by this support the bone will unite in
about ten days.

Sheep Husbandry.

We do not believe a farmer should
have only one kind Of stock on his
farm, but have a few of nearly every
kind, so If the market is off on one
kind 1t will be better on some other
The sheep industry was profitable last
year, and will be again this year.
Although the sheep are now wearing
their winter robes and are free from
ordinary cold, yet they will appreciate
a good shelter from the winds and bad
weather as much as any other kind OF
stock. and perhaps no animal will ap
preciate kind treatment more than a
sheep. The person who cannot control
a large degree Of patience will not
make good sheep master. 1t is nat'l-
raj for flock Of sheep to follow their
shepherd and this they will do If not

properly treated. If kicked away so
they are scared when they come near

For feeding purposes there is no

Prospect For a
Paiarito Park

Prof. Edgar l.. Hewett, who has

ment as a special commissioner to
report on archaeological remains in
the territory. was asked by an Optic
representative concerning the proba-
bility of the government taking steps

Pajarito Park.
Prof. Hewett replied as follows:
There is little doubt that the gov
ernment will eventually make a ma.
tional reservation of Pajarito Park.
There was at first some local oppos,-
ton to this because of the area origin
ally proposed In Congressman Laceys
bill. The measure as now drawn re-
duces the size of the park from q
tract about IL by rs miles to one of
by 10 miles, or approximately forty
sections of land. The lines have been
drawn so as to embrace only that
part OF the park which is richest In
archaeological remains. This of nee
essity curtails the scenic features of
the park considerably, leaving out for
example such an attractive spot as
Rito de los FrijOles, made known
some years ago by the writings Of
Bandelier and Lummis However,
the area still included is rich in natur
al scenery and will be most attract

Congressman Lacey's bill creating
the Pajarito Cliff Dwellers National
Park, was considered by the house
committee on public lands along with
the bill of Congressman Hogg of Colo
RADIO creating the Mesa Verde national
park, and both were unanimously re-
ported Neither measure met with
any opposition in congress. They
simply could not be reached during

Dolliver questioned about the agree
ments between the companies as TO
rates. Morawetz replied they were
not agreements The railroads
talked things over and reached under
standings as TO what the rates would
be from competitive points. In some
cases they were compelled to charge
higher rates on intermediate points.
He maintained that the intermediate
points were benefited by this.
