.L0ND0N'S BIG PARK
Regents, Formerly Royal Prop
erty, is Now 100 Years Old.
Thirty Years Was Required to Build
Historic Preserve--Queen Eliza
beth Restored Grounds to Pub
lie and Ousted Residences.

London.-The present year Is the
centenary Of Regents Park, the larg-
est one in London. That is, it is just
one hundred years since the govern
ment took hold Of the project Of form
ing a park out of the pasture land
known as Marylebone Farm and
Fields With its annexes the Regents
park Of today covers over four hun
dred acres.
The land was formerly the outer
park attached to the royal mansion Of
Henry VIII. and was favorite hunt
Ing ground Of the Tudors. Here
Queen Elizabeth entertained the Rus
sian ambassadors with stag hunt.
During the eighteenth century Maryle-
bone park, split up into dairy farms,
was one Of the principal sources Of
the milk supply Of London and these
fields were intersected by footpaths
which formed fayorite promenades for
the pent'up Londoner.
According to a government survey
made in 1894, Marylebone park CON
tanned SAG acres. Shortly after this
survey premiums were offered by the
government for the best plans for
building on the estate as soon as the
leases should fall in. Nashs plan to
form a public park, interspersed with
a few palatial villas, and to let the
adjoining ground on building leases
for the erection Of high class resi-
dences, was ultimately adopted,
1t was decided to name this orna.
mental Enclosure after the prince re-
gent, who, 1t was sald intended build
ing a residence in the park, but this
plan, If ever entertained was aban'
doned, The present park was com
menced early in 1912 and for several
years the site presented "a most eX'
traordlnary scene Of digging, exca'
waiting and building, and seemed more
like o work OF general destruction
than anything else"
The commissioners OF woods and
forests resolved to lay out and plant
The whole domain according to the
plan before permitting any building
operations inside Accordingly the
arst thing they did was to demolish
The farmhouaes and tayerns and stop
up the footpaths within the inclos
are,
When the project Of making the
park was sanctioned by act Of parla.
ment, the public had no inkling that
hey might be deprived Of the PRIV

terraces oneIrelIng the park and tho
detached villas within the ineloBurO
woro completed the public were ex'

Londoners woke up to the fact that
while vast space had been preserved
from the eher0aehmeht OF mean build

use OF II for recreation and exercise
IN that year the commissioners gave
The public access TO u small strip on
the eastern side
This concession was speedily fol-
lowed by an agitation against tho
whole policy OF Regents park, In
April, 1874, Lord Nugont presented IN
addresa to the queen from the neigh
boring parishes praying her majesty
10 throw the entire park open TO tho
public, The queen personally ihyestl'
gated the subject and came to tho con-
cualon that the rights OF the public

Farmers Educational
mi and Operative
/ Union of America
Matters Of Especial Moment to
] the Progressive Agriculturist

Any animal fed on cornstalks ought
to be very husky,
The flour merchant always takes
the mill for the deed.
Somebody calls thinking the tap
root of good farming.
Stretching the imagination will not
make both ends meet,
Use the best at hand, that the
hoped for better may come.
Keep keen lookout for the sharper,
so you'll know him on sight,
The farmland is so close to natures
heart that he can hear 1t beet.
When the harness Is stolen, not a
trace Of 1t is left by the thief
High thinking is in no way respon-
sible for the cost of high living.
Many man who thinks himself
strong-minded is only bull-headed,
A notary public will acknowledge a
bad mans good deeds everything
A full market seldom has anything
in common with n full pocketbook.
Comfort is better than lawsuit
over the disposition of the property
That crop pays best which With
draws the least fertility from the soil,
It Is better to be thinking than
drinking, even during carnival time
The best way to conserve our Tor
ests is to build homes with the tim
Der.
Failure overtakes the man who Is
going down hill-never the man who
is climbing.
Raining expenses that try to keep
pace with fast living are sure to keep
a man behind,
The boy who spends ten of his best
years sowing wild oats usually reaps
screenings the rest Of his life
The consumer pays a dollar for
food the farmer gets less than on
cents for It? Who gets the rest?
1t is q fine thing to have a great
thought but II is a much finer thing
to pass q great thought on to others
