ENGLISH TOWN IS a MODEL
BournsvIlle, Suburb Of Birmingham,
practically Ideal In All Of Its
Arrangements.

Under the head Garden cities"
Wilhelm Miller gives US splendid pic
ture Of an ideal garden city He says:
"The most perfect city have ever
seen or heard OF is the famous city OF
Bonneville. a suburb OF Birmingham,
England Twas simply transported by
the healthfulness. happiness. and
beauty Of the place, and believe II
gives the people more for their money
than any city on earth. Any one who
has cherished some noble vision Of q
glorified humanity would be intensely
interested to see Bonneville.
Can you imagine yourself living
four miles from the city OF Pittsburg
in suburban town of about 5000 In
habitants, where there are no saloons
and never can be any slums, noise,
dirt, crowding, factory smells. bill
boards, or streets torn up for gas light
ing or sewers? Wouldn't you like a
chance to play golf, tennis. cricket,
bowls. or hockey under ideal circum-
stances at cost of few cents a day?
Wouldn't you be satisfied with the 80
cial life of community that has splen-
did schools, churches, baths, gymnasi-
UNI, meeting house, and one-tenth OF its
whole area given up to parks and play
grounds? Wouldn't you feel safer In
city where the national birth rate
has been doubled and the death rate
cut In two? And what would you say
to a handsome brick house of seven
rooms and bath, with an eighth OF an
acre already planted with fruit trees
vines, and lawn, at a rental OF 1920
a month?
"Bourneville was founded by George
Cadbury, the cocoa manufacturer.
Only Al per cent. of the. renters at
Bonneville are employees Of the fac
tory. The others came from any
where and everywhere, and many OF
them spend their days in Birmingham.
Consequently the social life is that OF
normal, mixed community merely
Industrial or suburban. In the second
place, Bonneville really pays. The
city's chief source of income is rent,
Everybody pays s per cent. on the in
yestment actually made in his house
and lot The city's income doubles ev-
cry five years (it is now fifteen years
old,) and in fifty years, at this rate, IT
will have an annual income of about
SIS 5000, 900. And since 1t will never
have to pay back Mr. Cadbury's gift
OF about $775,Oo0, the city will have
large sum available for building 9th,
er cities like Bonneville.

TREES FOR CITY STREETS
silver Waffle Is Considered One Of the
Best That is Available at the
Present.

Acacia Dealbata, the silver waffle, Is
one of the best trees we have for city
street planting, and considered by the
writer Eat presently the very best. We
are still in our infancy. in the street
tree question, for none has been sufti-
GENTLY proven to give us permanent
opinion as to its comparative value.
We plant out a new tree, and after
four or five years trial conclude 1t is
eminently satisfactory. At the end of
another five years the same tree may
be a wretched subject, quite unfit for
street planting. The pepper alone has
stood the, test of time, yet city Eesi-
dents do noS want it, for they will not
properly plant and care for it. While
the silver waffle should 1be as well
cared for, it conducts itself properly
with little less restriction than the
pepper tree, and is really the most
beautiful of all aeacias.

In the work Of the bureau Of animal
industry In dealing with infectious dis
passes Of live stock 1t has been found
that the average stockman and farmer
loes not realize the importance OF thor
pughly disinfecting his premises fol-

ease. There is apparently a widespread
lack Of information regarding the
germicidal power OF various sub
stances, commonly termed disfnfect-
ants. There is also lack Of knowl-
edge concerning practical and econom-
'tcal methods Of proceeding with the
work of disinfection. Moreover. the
temperance of a contagious disease
on premises from which It was be-
ueved to have been eradicated may
frequently be traced to careless or Inn

cleaning and disinfecting OF the place.

Bulky weeds such as clover hay,

good sheep feeds. If the sheep have
