MUST HAVE NATURAL BEAUTY
Frequently Meadows in Parks, That
Might Be Made Attractice,
Are Spoiled.

The designer of park should as
sign proper places for sundry things
for variety of purposes and must
meet many limitations and practical
requirements always with the beauty
OF the whole as we'll as of the parts
In mind as the prime consideration.
For instance, if meadow Is to be
provided as prominent landscape
feature because of it's usefulness for
strolling and for field sports, it must
constantly be borne in mind that the
beauty of a meadow consists In It's
breadth and simplicity, in its smooth,
continuous green sward and in it's
naturalness. Many things are done to
park meadow in direct contraven-
ton OF these obvious characteristics.
Its breadth is broken by conspicuous
drives and walks, It's simplicity 10
ruined by flower beds, its greensward
Is injured by excessive tramping or
by shortcut paths being allowed to be
worn In it and its naturalness is de-
stroyed by grading 1t to fairness not
characteristic of the surrounding topo-
graphy or by harsh obvious artificial
turf terraces, or by planting regular
rows of trees along It's borders.

The annual loss of crops by insect

States amounts to many millions Of
dollars. Moreover, not only is this
loss diminishing, but on the contrary
it is steadily increasing, partly as a
result of the encroachments of new
insect enemies, partly from the in.
crease of both insect and rodent pests
for the number of these naturally
grows with the extension of tillage-
and partly, perhaps mainly, because
of the destruction of their natural en-.

feed, have been destroyed until their

STREETS ALL TOO MARROW
Properly Laid Out, They Should Be
Pathways, Lined With Trees and
Masses of Shrubbery.

When shall we get down to sensi-
5nues and obtain parkways of sufficient
width so that we may avoid straight
lines of trees and have real parkways
filled with groups of trees and masses
of shrubbery? Some Of the streets Of
towns and villages thickly planted to
tall, strict-growing trees, afford one
no broader views than obta1nable in
a deep canyon. There is no question
but we plant street trees too thickly
and too often gain, after lapse Of
years, roofless tunnel of green. Such
streets shut out lovely rural views,
mountain views or coastal outlooks
that should constitute the chief attrac-
ton to the district Street planting,
like garden planting, should always be
done with the outlook in view, the dis
tant prospect OF earth, sky, mountain,
or sea. With wide parkways we may
have our walks in long, sweeping,
slight but graceful curves passing first
to the right and then to the left OF
trees clumps or shrubbery. They
would then be narrow parks or park
ings. We would in this manner over.

natural method of street planting,

In any single mile of it. Then, indeed,

TEST YOUR BARLEY.
BY A. L. Stone.

Every grower of barley should test
his seed before sowing. The vitality
of barley is more easily injured by
heating in stack or bin than is that
of oats or wheat Age. too lowers its
vitality. A determination of the
seeds power to grow. is therefore alb
solutely necessary for the success OF
the future crop. Samples for the
termination test should be selected
from grain which has been previously
cleaned and graded Cleaned to re
move light and immatured barley

Graded to secure the plumpest and
largest seeds, uniformity in size and
maturity of the grain, will insure an
even growth and maturity OF the
crop.
tester for testing the samples can
be easily made by using two tin
plates. one slightly smaller than the
other. Cotton flannel pads are cut OF
the same size as the inside of the un,
derplate. The pads are soaked in wa.
ter and squeezed to remove surplus
moisture. A pad is put in bottom of
larger plate and 100 grains distribut-
ed over it. Another pad Is placed
upon the seed and the smaller plate
inverted and used as cover to pre-
vent evaporation. This tester should
be placed in a convenient place where
the temperature is between "A and 80
degrees F. Water can be added to
pads when they become somewhat dry.
A record of the test should be kept
and sprouted seeds removed from day
to day
Should Test IS Per Cent.
No grain should give a germinauop
of less than IS per cent for the hes,
results. The higher the percentage o.

The sooner farmers, ranchmen, hor-
ticulturists, and nurserymen learn
that the great majority of birds Of
prey are their friends and deserve
protection and that four or five spe-
cies only are injurious, the sooner will
depredations by noxious rodents and
insects diminish. In the more thick
~ settled sections of the country, ex-
cept at rare intervals, the goshawk,
duck hawk, and great horned owl are so
infrequent that years may pass without
IN individual being seen. Two species
that need to be kept in check are the
sharp-shinned and Cooper hawks,
small and medium sized species which
feed almost entirely on wild birds and
poultry. The illustration will mate
rally assist those interested in iden-
tfying these birds.
J The important fact to bear in mind
is that all hawks and owls feed large
" on noxious rodents and the larger
insects, such as grasshoppers, crick-
cts, and May beetles, and, from their
size and voracious appetites, are i'm
portant factors in reducing the num-
bers OF such pests and keeping them
under control.
Ravens, crows, and jays also do eff.
fective work in destroying pests. Oc-
casionally, however, in localities
where they have increased out of pro-
portion to the available food supply,
they become troublesome by killing
small chickens and destroying eggs
and nestlings of wild birds.

CROOKED TEETH MAR BEAUTY
Irregularity Usually Can Be Prevent
ed II Parents Take Proper Care
and Precaution.

How often we meet with people,
otherwise beautiful, whose mouths
are disfigured with irregular teeth.
It would seem that nature in bestow-
ing the gifts of form, complexion and
the other elements of beauty, had at
last baked at the one thing needful
to complete the charm. Persons thus
afflicted suffer from decay Of their
teeth, from inability to chew their
food properly, and their faces appear
misshapen, due to the improper de-
velopment of the jaws.
The sad part about this condition
Is that in nearly every case it might
have been prevented easily by proper
precaution of the parents, but being
neglected it continues to grow worse,
and when the child arrives at the age
Of discretion and demands that the
condition be corrected the work be-
comes more difficult. Goethe says,
Impression is one Of the three pow
ers that move the world" no wonder
then that the child resents the early
negligence of its parents.
The chief causes of irregular teeth
are thumb sucking, mouth breathing
and the early loss of teeth from de-
cay. Parents should remember that
the bones of the child are not yet
hardened, and that the slight pres
sure of the thumb in the mouth of
the child is enough not only to cause
Irregular teeth, but also to change
| the shape Of the jaw itself. In for
mer times little attention was paid
to the nose and throat Of the child !:
We have dearly paid for that mistake.
Mouth breathing not only causes II
Regularity; 1t also invites easy intro.
/ duction into the system Of various
diseases. The child's nose should be
examined early for adenoids or other
abnormal conditions. At this time, Il
there are any cavities formed, the
teeth can be easily filled with little
Tor no pain, saving the child and the
parents much discomfort later. Most
important Of all, however, the TEN
porary teeth should be retained I'M

i "a practice to be condemned is the
lektraction Of loose teeth prematurely

tracted by the parent, when it should
