BUILDING UP A cITY's PARKS
Expert Sets Forth Some Sound Prln-
ciples Which Il VIII Be Profit
able to Observe.

There are few principles in the
selection Of lands for parks. parkways
and Fairgrounds which are finding In
creasing acceptance by city authori-
ties. Briefly stated, they are as fol-
lows: Q) To acquire those easily ac-
cessible small tracts In different parts
Of city which may most cheaply be
adapted to serve as local Fairgrounds
or recreation centers; (2) to seek also
some moderately large tracts, even
though less accessible for the present
generation, provided they are capable
of conversion at relatively small cost
into park which will have the beauty
of natural scenery; (3) to acquire
property for large parks In advance
Of general settlement OF the neigh
borhood: (4) to select generally,
though not always, lands which are
not well adapted for streets and build
ings; (5) to distribute the lands over
the city in such q way as to give the
maximum of use to the people who
will be called upon to pay for their
acquisition, development and main
tenance.
These Ave common-sense principles
have been approved and followed by
the leading landscape architects.
says John Nolan in his report on New
London.

Feed Concentrates WIN siIaae.

Silage must not be considered a
concentrate. II belongs to the rough
age class and it is not a perfect feed
in itself. Best results are obtained
when fed in connection with some
other materials. Alfalfa hay is an ex-
cellent supplement to silage, for both
beef and dairy cattle. For beef cattle
recent experiments show that cotton
seed meal at $50 per ton is more eco
nomical than alfalfa hay at $40 per
ton, as supplement for silage. For
dairy cattle, silage is too low in pro-
tein for high production. Alfalfa hay
for additional roughage and grain
ration consisting Of mixture of cot
ton seed meal, bran, corn chop and
oil meal makes an ideal supplement-
for silage.

send an engineer to straighten out the
difficulty, and the only cost to the
farmers will be travelling expenses
Here are the general directions sent
out from the agricultural college
Blue prints will be sent to those who
write for them:
The dam should be located on good
solid earth and the axis of the EN-
bankment placed at right angles to
the general direction of the natural
flow of the water. Specific dimen.
sions must be left to the judgment OF
the engineer. In general, small earth.
en- dams should have top width of at
least six feet, and when the crown is
to be used as roadway the top
width should be at least twelve feet
The angle of the side slopes of the
embankment will vary according to
the imperviousness Of the materials
used in construction. The outer side
slope should be at least two and one
half feet above the extreme high wa
ter line.
The essentials which should govern
the selection of material to be used
in earthen embankments are weight
and imperviousness. In making this
selection the size and form of the
soil grains, the weight of unit mass,
amount of pore space, and ingredients
subject to decay or change Of form
must be carefully studied. Only good,
clean earth should be considered. The
embankment should be placed on COM
pact, solid earth that is comparatively
dry. Muck, saturated earth and loose
stone should be removed. Crayfish
holes, roots, stumps, and decaying
vegetable matter should be grubbed
out. The space to be occupied by the
base should be plowed and the loos-
ened material sorted to the toe of the
outer slope. This plowed area should
then be roughened or furrowed before
the material is placed in the embank-
ment.
When the soil below the area to be
occupied by the base of the embank-
ment is pourous or pervious mate
rial, core walls of puddled clay or
concrete should be constructed. Where
a single-core wall is used, it should be
located parallel to the center line OF
the dam, and the center line of the
core wall should not be nearer to the
outer slope. than the center line of the
dam, nor should the center line of the
core wall be a greater distance from
the center line of the dam than one
half of the crown width of the dam.
Single clay-puddled core walls should
be at least three feet wide. ALI core

other layer is started. Each layer
should be carefully rolled and tamped,
and when the material is loose and
dry it should be thoroughly wetted
and rolled before succeeding layers
are placed No stone weighing more
than five pounds should be permit. d
to remain in the embankment, and all
sods, roots and vegetable matter
should be removed from the material
as it is placed in the embankment.
All earthen dams must be provided
with an adequate waste way or spill
way to discharge, without damage to
the structure, all the water which
arises above the flow line, All spill
ways should be constructed in the
natural material and located at one
end of the embankment. In comput-
ing the required area the extent of the
watershed must be determined and eX-
treme conditions of run-off considered.
For normal drainage areas an effec-
tive spillway area of seventeen square
feet for each eighty acres of land
should be sufficient. All spillways
subject to excessive erosion should be
protected by proper lining of timber,
stone or concrete.
Seepage through the earth embank-
ment may be diminished by pudding

basin. Sandy soils are made more
impervious by the addition of clay

surveyor is sought, farmers ought to

law provides that county surveyors
