GOOD LESSON FROM GERMANY
There Municipalities Exercise Mild
Form Of Despotlsm Over the
Owners OF Property.

A common exercise of the individ-
ual fancy is to decide with a wealth
of detail what one would do If one
had, say. $4,000 900, declares the New
York Tribune. The movement for
"cties beautiful" which the public
hears of every now and then resem-
bles this pastime. When Chicago,
Pittsburgh, Boston, or whatever city
It may be, considers becoming Chi
cago Beautiful or Pittsburgh Beauti
full or Boston Beautiful 1t is making
up its mind what 1t would do If 1t
had S100.00O,000 There is even a
profession of telling cities what they
might do If they had 500 1000. 900, and
the experts are kept fairly busy about
it. The Tribune hopes that Brooklyn,
the latest to consult one of these ex-
perts, will have millions enough to
make her as beautiful as she wishes
to become. This consulting about
what might be done to make Ameri-
can cities more presentable is a good
sign in itself. The public is not so
content as formerly to trust their de-
velopment to haphaZard. It's result
has been bad in respect of beauty, OF
health and even of business economy.
But "a determining their own future
development American cities are sad
ly behind those of Europe, where,
especially in Germany, municipalities
exercise sort of benevolent despot-
ism over the uses to which the indi-
vidual property owner may put his
property.

Middle White Sow, Walton Rose seth,
First at Royal Show, Liverpool.

The sows are given separate lots,
with a good shelter, close, warm
house, II the weather is cool, about
week before they are due to farrow.
The sows are fed sparingly for a
few days after narrowing. then grad
ually brought up to full ration.
1t has always been hard for mo to
keep from feeding the sow too much
while the pigs are young. and as a
result l have had several cases OF
scours with the young pigs.
When ! find the pigs beginning tu
scour. l give the sow 10 to 20 drops
of laudanum in her feed for a few
feeds. Her feed is reduced and this
usually checks the scours in day or
so. If have not any laudanum l
have used powdered charcoal with
good results.
AS soon as the pigs are old enough
to eat give them a separate trough
where they can eat without being dis
turbed by the mother. They are given
a mixed feed of middlings, corn meal
or other ground feed mixed with
water The SOW gets similar ration.
More corn is used in cold weather
than II the season is warm

in LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation of the Difference Ee-
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard of young married
women of today and those OF the past
generation. How did the women OF
the middle class of generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from q Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children a weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses. but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers. at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons: in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made 1t easier for her by
doing likewise"
