REDUCE TARIFF ON BABIES.
Advice Given by Puck to New York
Doctors Who Are Not Too Well
Off Financially.

American Medicine says that the
economic problems of the practicing
physician are daily becoming more Sc
rioas, and that so per cent. of the ply
sicians in Now York are not earning
S1,5OO a year. It says there Is trou-
Bile somewhere and finds some of It
in the too rapid growth of special
Ism, beyond all needs and demands"
There or Whereabouts, we guess. is
the main trouble. Most families can
afford a family doctor to tell them
what's the matter and what to do. but
comparatively few families can af
ford a doctor who must ask some 9TH
er doctor what ails them, and then
call in a third or fourth to do some
thing. II Is not that all the doctors
may not be amply worth their fees.
but that the families have not got the
money to divide among so many. Fiji
teen hundred dollars is not an exces-
sive doctors bill for so simple an
event as a new baby in a moderate
ly well-to-do New York family. Elder
ly people who are out of the habit of
having babies, can often afford such a
fee and would cheerfully pay 1t If they
had occasion. But rash young people
who are the ones who have the babies
when there are any. can't possibly pay
for them at that rate. And they don't.
OF course, but as rule they pay more
than they can afford. and have 1t deep
ly impressed upon them that babies
are beyond their means.
But babies are the beginning and
mainstay Of the doctors business.
They mean fees at the start. and then
patients. They should be welcomed.
not scared of. We recommend the
physicians to reduce the tariff on ba-
bies in the interest of trade-Puck.

Wolves In Kentucky.

Several coyotes have appeared in
the Triton neighbOrhoOd in Fleming
county, reports The Gaz stte. The
animals have been in the vicinity Of
Locust for several years, and came
from a pair of pct coyotes brought
:here by one of the residents. In the
past year or so several OF the
wolves have been killed, and several
of the pups We're captured. They are
very shy, however, and it is difficult to
get within gun shot of them.

PvsLre ROAD
Suggestions for a Farmyard.

gardener, who is at the same time
himself farmer, may be of some as
sistance in this direction.
Simplicity is the keynote of good
taste in everything. Therefore, let
the design of the farm grounds he
very simple Do not try anything
elaborate. Do not make the place
look citifed.
Have a good lawn. Nothing is more
tasteful and satisfactory than good,
clean, green grass. Even if the lawn
is not very large and not deliberately
graded, it will still be the most attsac-
tive part of the place. Have a few
good trees. Nothing is more attrac-
tive about a farmhouse, with the pos
sible exception of lawn grass, than
large, dignified, noble trees.
For shrubs and other ornamental
plants, use native species. The com
mon native shrubs and plants are
among the best of all oranmentl ma
terials
If flower beds are desired, put them
at the side or rear of the house, pre-
ferably in connection with the vege-
table garden. Flower beds are usu.
ally a nuisance on the front lawn, and
nearly always inappropriate about a
farmyard.
Keep the front yard separate from
the back yard. Everyone will readily
remember a great many farms where
this simple Injunction is highly disre-
garded 1t is not unusual to find a
milk wagon or a chicken coop or hay
rack left in the front yard of a farm
house. Such things do not belong
there.
Have some space about the house
so arranged that it can be used for
living and playing. We do not live
out of doors as much in this country
as we ought to. This statement ap-
plies even to farm families. A suit
ably built open porch. paved court, or
clean grass plat, makes a delightful
place for serving meals. Very often
it is pleasanter to eat out of doors
than in the house; and if definite
plans are made, this is much easier
than might be supposed. There
should also be room in the garden for
playing croquet, a secluded and shady
spot where one can sit down to read
or sew; and if the women of the house
wish to give party on the lawn,
there should be every opportunity for
It.
Keep the place clean and tidy. This
is final evidence of good taste and an
absolutely necessary condition in ev-
cry circumstance.

MAKE FARM HOMES TASTEFUL
Practical Suggestions for 5eautifyin9
Country Residences In Any
Locality.

Farming differs from every other sort
of business in this, that the farm is
not merely factory and place OF
business, but it is the home of the
family, writes Prof f. A. Waugh, OF
the Massachusetts Agricultural Col.
lege, in Orange Judd Farmer. The
Importance of the farm as the home
establishment Is much greater than
its Importance as a place of business;
and this makes it imperative. that the
place should be supplied with every
available comfort and made attractive
with every sort of beauty which SUBJ
stantial good taste can suggest.
The ordinary schemes of landscape
gardening are not very suitable to the
common farm. This is largely be-
cause the ambitious landscape garden
ers do not sufficiently consider the
use of the farm as a factory and a
place of business The best that can
be done in most cases is for the farni-
er, his wife and other advisers, to de-
velop the grounds to the best of their
own judgment and in the light of ac-
tual requirements. A few suggestions

Value Of Manure.

Keep hauling manure out on the
land as fast as it is made. 1t is of as
much value to put it on the plowed
ground as it is to pillow it under Har-
rowed well into the surface, it not only
furnishes ready plant food, but serves
as a mulch for holding moisture in
dry weather. 1t may be scattered on
corn ground to advantage all through
the corn growing season as long as
the wagon can be hauled down the
corn rows. Cultivation will spread it
and mix it with the soil and rains will
dissolve out the richness and carry
into the roots of the corn.
