exposition palaces. The columns will
be sixty feet in height; surmounting
the colonnade will be a series of 10
figures symbolizing the stars. Each
figure will support huge artificial

lights; by day their radiance will be
obscured.
In the center of the court will be
a great sunken garden with benches

The exposition site at Rarbor View,
with its towering ampitheaters of
hills and vast distances, called for
huge effects. The grouping Of the
fourteen great exhibit palaces will
present this result From afar the
central group, facing for almost mile
upon San Francisco harbor, will seem
as one colossal structure, great
Oriental city, with walls as high as
the average six-story city block and
with golden domes, towers and
tower gateways rising to heights Of
15O, 27O and 400 feet. Nearer at hand
it will be found that great inner
courts lie between the buildings
Eight of the fourteen buildings in the
main group will be joined in a rec
tangIe to form almost a huge Oriental
bazar-a veritable walled city with
its domes, towers, minarets and great
interior courts.
In general the buildings of the CEN
tral group are to be brought into
contact with those next adjoining by
arcades, courts and archways.
AhAOO5h ILLS m0CuOQ OF treatment
four of the general exhibit palaces
OF the main group, fronting north
upon San Francisco bay but set back
at distance from the waters edge,
Will present a single architectural de-
sign. Their walls and the adjoining
arches will form the main northern
facade of the exposition along the
shores of the harbor, a marvellous
frontage that will be first seen by
visitors who reach the exposition city
by water and enter San Francisco bay
through the Golden Gate. By day
the glittering pillars and minarets of
this mile long facade will be seen
as dream city, while by night they
VIII reflect the sheen of a million
lights into the waters of the bay.
A Great EspIanade.
Before the facade and along the
harbor's edge for more than a mile
there will be built a great esplanade,
vast stretch of ground and terraces
in which fountains will play and
groups Of statuary be set at intervals.
Brilliant flowers and hardy Towering

trees and shrubs will lend warmth
and color to the esplanade.
Three great courts will divide the
main group Of exposition buildings
from north to south. Their theme
will suggest the meeting of the east
and west at Panama. One of the
huge courts, that on the 'east, will
suggest the Orient, rich in Oriental
splendors; another on the west, will
suggest the Occident, its theme ex-
employing the wealth which nature
has conferred upon the Saxon who
has ever pushed to the west. Be
tween these two courts will be set
the greatest Of all the courts, the
superb Court Of the Sun and Stars,
it's theme upon magnif1ed scale
symboliZing the union Of the east and
west at Panama. This court will
stand out among the most brilliant
architectural expressions Of America
and Europe. It will be distinguished
by the majestic scale of it's architec-
ture; by the splendor of it's concep-
ton, and by its life, color, and spirit
of joyousness. The color plan of this
court, as indeed Of all the great
courts, is designed by Jules Guerin.
undoubtedly the foremost decorative
artist in America.
Beautiful Color Effects.
In the courts marvellous blendings
of colors will be attained. Pompeiian
red, strong Italian b''les, vermilion
and orange will predominant. The
.oofs of the exhibit palaces will be
covered with Spanish tile, a reddish
pink. But from afar the sightseer
will gain the effect Of the blending of
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1913-07-16

the various tones. Mr.. Guerin gives
the following word picture of his color
plan for the exposition:
Imagine a gigantic Persian rug of
soft, melting tones, with brilliant
splashes here and there, spread down
for mile or more, and you may get
some idea of what the Panama-Pa-
c1tlc exposition will look like if viewed
from distance, say from the Sau-
sallto Heights, across the Golden
Gate. For San Francisco's is to be
unique among the expositions of the
world in that it will be a City of
Color Not that color is the chiefest
value of the exposition, for it's archi-
tectural features are equally remark
able. This color plan, that of making
the group of bu&dings a veritable
blaze of glory and at the same time
avoiding the garish or barbaric, is
the great new salient feature of the
exposition"
The Court of the Sun and Stars
will be $50 feet in width from east
to west and 900 feet along its main
axis. At the south end of the court
will arise the huge tower of the Ad-
ministration building, 400 feet in
height, and dominating the architec-
ture of the exposition. The upper
part of the tower will take the form
of terraces leading up to a group of
figures surrounding a globe typifying
the world; the tower will be lined
with jewels which will glitter like
diamonds when searchlights are
turned upon them. At the base of
the tower, which will occupy an acre
in extent, will be huge arcade 125
feet high, beneath which the visitor
may enter into the Court of Sun and
Stars from the main exposition en-
trance.
In the vaulted archways of the
tower will be grouped a series of
mural paintings designed by Jules
Guerin and expressing the keynote
of the exposition color scheme. But
perhaps the most impressive feature
of the Court of Sun and Stars will be
found in a classic colonnade extend
ing entirely around the court and

PROPER FEED FOR THE HENS
Satisfactory Method for American
Breeds Worked Out by Expert of
Massachusetts College.

4 method which has given very sat
isfactory results for the American
breeds have been worked out by Prof.
j. c. Graham of the Massachusetts
Agricultural college. A dry mash is
kept in hoppers before the hens at all
times, and scratch feed is fed night
and morning. The dry mash is COM
posed OF equal parts bran, wheat mid
dlings, corn meal, finely ground oats,
ground alfalfa and beef scraps, and the
scratch feed of two parts cracked
corn, one part wheat and one part
oats.
The scratch feed is varied, depend
ing somewhat upon condition OF the
hens. If on examination they are
and less corn are fed. Sometimes we
feed three parts Of wheat at night
and oats in the morning.
At certain seasons Of the year more
grain is fed at night in the litter
than the hens will eat, SO there will
early the next morning. This is
found to be a satisfactory method. AL
three are mixed together the wheat
and corn are picked first, and the
hens that eat the fastest get very lit
tie of the oats.
If it is desired TO force the hens
in addition to the dry mash and
grain. moisten some of the mash.
getting it TO a crumbly state, and
placing it in troughs, what they will
eat in Is minutes. This is fed at night.
Fresh water, oyster shell and grit are
kept before the hens. Mangels and
cabbages are fed whole every day
when possible, but at least three times
a week

TREATING CASES OF CHOLERA
Animals Afflicted Should Be Isolated
as Completely as Possibie-Pca-

Immediately disinfect the premises
thoroughly. Separate the we'll hogs
from the sick ones, and divide the
healthy animals in two or more
groups and isolate them as so,apIcte-
" as possible. All caTcasses of hogs
which have died from cholera should
be burned or buried deeDly and coy
cred With Quicklime.
As the germs Of cholera gain access
to the system through feeding, the
way Of prevention is we'll marked.
All feeding troughs and Utensils
should be thoroughly cleaned and
funigated, the yards plowed and pref
erably planted with forage crop
IN season. Feed sparingly, using a
laxative, easily digested and nour-
ishing ration. When hog cholera
serum is used tho hogs treated
should remain together In the in
fected yards. The possible introduc-
ton Of the disease into the pens by
people, dogs, birds, etc, should be
guarded against especially II hog chol-
era Is in the neighborhood.

TO COLLECT UTILITY LAWS
Rail Board Writes for Copies OF All
American and Foreign Laws Re-
latins to Subject.

Madison.-For the purpose of MAX
ing comparative study and survey of
all the public utility laws and regula-
lions Of the world, Secretary L. A. Get
tie of the railroad commission has
written letters to the secretaries of
state Of all the states Of the union and
to the proper authorities Of all for
eign countries.
In the handling of claims which
come before the commission many OBJ
stacles are encountered that make
this particular work very unsatisfac-
tory, and it is sometimes found diff
cult to enforce the judgment of the
commission. Delays often result be-
cause there is no penalty provisions
IN the laws. These and other obstacles
have been met and overcome in some
of the states and in foreign countries.
