LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL.

How to Awaken Interest In Civic I'M
provement.
Every person loves in some degree
rnamentation and the beauties OF ma
t1re. It often occurs that a business
man is so engrossed in his affairs that
love of the beautiful has no chance to
develop. and sometimes when such
one retires this appreciation develops
so rapidly that we know it was but
slumbering. Often, too, one has to
travel in less favored lands than his
natural surroundings or even to be
shut out of a sight Of natural beauty
in a hospital ward or prison cell be-
fore the taste is properly awakened.
No student Of Byron can fail to be
impressed by the love of the beautiful
evidenced by the poet in his prisoner
of Chillon," where he so wildly de-
scribes the song and appearance OF
the bird both seen and heard through
prison bars, nor how beautifully he de-
scribes the scene opened to the prison
er's view when he succeeded in dig
cling steps in the wall that would en-
able him to look through the grated
window and see mountains, expanse OF

|. It occurs In many lives that but q
suggestion is needed to change the
whole current of thought or bring to
life the slumbering love for the beaut-
full. Civic improvement associations
have often received the widest appre-
citation and financial support from men
and women known for years to take
no interest in civic identifying. Work
ers along these lines should not be dis
outraged by Il lack of encouragement.

BEAUTIFYING FARMS.
Progressive Jerseyman Pushes "Park
Idea" In Rural Sections.

Progressive Jerseyman Pushes "Park
Idea" In Rural Sections.
Adoption Of the park idea in beauti-
fication of farm landscapes is being
advocated and worked out by Henry
H. Albertson, proprietor OF the famous
Green Hill dairy farm, near Rurling-
ton, n. J. The farm is situated on the
Oxmead road. one Of the most popular
drives about Burlington, and scheme
for having other landowners follow
his example Is being agitated by the
proprietor who is prominent in grange
circles.
Four different roads cut through the
immense acreage Of the Albertson
farm, and along these all fences have
been removed. Only fields used for
pasturage are fenced. The farm Is
further bounded by rows of silver and
sugar naples, and wherever there is
an opportunity for improvement Of the
landscape this has been done without
interfering in any way with cultiva-
ton Of the land The first impression
Of visitor is that the farm is an i'm
mense park.
Farm Identification ideas are spread
ing through this section, and it has
only needed the initiative of an ener-
getic leader like Mr.. Albertson to bring
the matter to head. Many neighbor-
ing farmers are pledging themselves to
carry out somewhat similar plans to
those adopted at Green Hill Many,
where it has been impossible to do
away with roadside fences altogether,
| have replaced unsightly structures
with arbor vitae and privet hedges
