posite sides Of the streets, large grow
ing trees, such as naples or elms,
should be planted forty feet apart.
Modern town and city conditions re-
Quire that street corners be rounded
for both utility and looks The radius
should be not less than six feet, and
where the sidewalk width is sufficient
this may be increased to nine feet or
more to advantage. Angles in the
street lines are Objectionable, and
where they exist curves should be sub
stituted for them. A break in the line
of a street is frequently desirable, but
angles give an Objectionable stiffness
to the general appearance. Every OPP
portunity should be taken of space at
street intersections available for the 10
cation at their centers of round or
oval flower beds. In these low cOnifers
may be massed, as they are main
tanned in good appearance with little
trouble. Such beds should be pro-
tected from teams by coping. Shrub
berry placed thus in the center Of the
roadway Is far more effective than
side parking, as it is visible far up and
down the intersecting streets. Street
joys, the failure of streets on the OPP
posite sides of an intersecting street
to meet in alignment, should not be
left square, but the corners of each
should be rounded so as to obtain a
continuous reversed curve.

BARN PLAN.
Round Type Of Building Has Advan-
tages Over Other Forms.

The day is past when we can az
ford to be without ample barn room
for all live stock. The present prices
of feed prohibit the old wire fence
shelter, and the prices Of lumber will
never be less, and now they prohibit
the old style of haphazard building,
having a building for each kind of
stock and then most of the feed out
side and the water from two to 20
rods from the barns. This is an era
of concentration, and nothing can ia
ciltate the intensive style of farming
and concentrate mans energies to
his life work on farm like COM
modious, comfortable barn. Personally,
says writer in Wallace's Farmer,
| would not build a barn without a
silo, nor would / advise any one else
to do so, as the barn and its proper use
is the mainstay of our calling, as soon
er or later we must all come to the
keeping of live stock to consume the
greater share of our crops and then
carefully save and apply the manure
made. Nothing produces as much
feed per acre as corn, and nothing
saves corn so economically as the silo.
Neither would | build a barn of suita-
BILE size for farm of 80 acres or more

High hearts are never long with
out hearing some new call, some dis
tant clarion of God, even in their
dreams; and soon they are observed
to break up the camp of ease and
start on some fresh march of faithful
service. And, looking higher still, we
find those who never wait till their
moral work accumulates, and who re-
ward resolution with no rest; with
whom, therefore, the alienation is in

good only TO see the better, and see
the better only to achieve it; who are

Plan of Barn.

say If a silo is not wanted the center

The round type of barn has these
advantages: First, the same amount
of outside surface used in square or
rectangular barns will fnclose a
greater surface in circular form. Sec
ond, the circular form has the decided
advantage of strength over the fiat
side. Third, the gable ends are total
losses and are avoided in the circular
barn Fourth, the roof of a circular
barn is selfsupporting and does not
sag, and is far less liable to damage
from heavy storms. Fifth, the space
inclosed is more convenient to use,
requiring less time and work to care
for the same stock than in any other
type Of barn.
Here is a plan of the ground floor
of a barn So feet in diameter

CUT WORMS AND ROSE BUGS.
Prof l.. r. Taft Gives Helpful
Hints in Spraying for These
Enemies OF the Vineyard.

Gu6InloS OI LILO vln6ydTQ
Although no remedy that is entirely
effectual and satisfactory for the cut
worm and rose bug, which are so de-
structive to grape vines and fruit trees,
has been found yet, the following viii! be
helpful:
For fifty (50) gallons of water take five
| ~ pounds of arsenate of lead and one o.
quart of cheap molasses or glucose and
apply ia the morning after the dew is
off for the rose bugs and in the early
evening for the elm bling cut worms,
when the work OF these insects is notice
aole. Repeat the application if washed
OF by rains.
When one has large vineyard
cheap remedy can be made from white
arsenic by placing one (l) pound of arse
mic and two % pounds of sal. soda (com-
mon washing soda in one () sgallon of
boiling water and boiling for 30 minutes,
stirring occasionally, or until everything
is dissolved. Dilute to five (5) quarts
and use one (l) quart of the solution for
fifty (50) gallons Before dilutIng add
one (l) pound of freshly Stacked lime
made into thin paste and one Q) quart
of molasses. II desired this can be pre-
pared in much larger quantities. Use as
directed for arsepate of lead. The con-
tents of the spraying barrel should be
kept agitated.
The addition of the molasses attracts
the rose bugs and they will feed upon
the solution rather than on the grape
blossom. Ii the bugs appear in large
numbers over a considerable period, two
or three applications will be necessary
Care should be taken that the arsenic
is not left where 1t will be mistaken for
harmless chemical and the solution
should be kept where children and farm
animals cannot get hold of it.
