Immediately after the war the work of formally

The Town Cow.

It Is surprising fact to many to
learn that there are very consider
able number of cows kept within
the limits of every great city. Cows
are familiar sight on the streets Of
many small towns, but In our vast
congested urban centers the sight Of
one Is very unusual OF course the
number of COWS here Is much small
er In proprtiSn to the population, and
1t is very unfortunate in many ways
that there are not more cows dwelling
in our midst, so to speak
The city COW, when owned and man.
aged by a professional milkman, has
proved to be a considerable menace
to health in the past, entirely due to
the way In which such animals have
been handled We do not wish to be
understood as advocating the opera
ton of commercial dairy herds under
urban conditions, but we do believe
firmly that it would be a great agent
for the better health of city children
If there were more city COWS owned
by their parents.

mortality rate In large cities Is much
higher than among children of the
same class, age, and mode of life in
smaller towns or In the country.
While a number Of factors combine
to bring about the early passing away
of a comparatively large proportion of
the little children who are unfortunate
enough to be born In large city, the
scientists who give their time and
thought to these serious problems are
almost unanimously agreed that the
greatest single factor behind these
atrociously high infant death rates is
that of impure milk
Impure milk has, and still does, reap
a terrible harvest, and among those
~ho are least able to help themselves.

Carrying its disease germs, its decom-
posed organic matter, its filth of vari-
GUS kinds, In liquid form, 1t Is neces-
sarily taken by many children without
having beer heated or purified in any
way. It's malignant contents attack
the child in its weakest organs, those
of digestion, and the results enter into
those census figures referred to.
Much can be done to safeguard the
milk supply of the cities; much Is be-
ing done now and more will be done
in the future, as fast as the public
awakes to the tremendous Importance
of the subject
One of the quickest ways to get re-
suits in your campaign to protect your
own family from impure milk is to
thoroughly investigate the source. of
supply and see that the milk comes
from healthy COWS, and is handled
in ouch a way that it reaches you
within twelve hours after milking that
it has not been warmer than 90 de-
grees since milking. and that there
has been no possible chance of dust or
dirt of any character getting into 1t.
The very best and most satisfactory
way to secure pure milk, at the lowest
possible cost is to keep COW your
self, if your circumstances will permit.
All you will need is small stable,
and lot of paddock where the cow
can get out into the fresh air for ex-
ercise. Even under city or suburban
conditions milk can be produced for
from three to five cents a quart, buy
ing all the feed. Many city man Is
getting all the milk his family wants
for their own use and is selling
enough besides 70 pay for his COWS
entire keep.
Milk, when taken from the COW in
the proper manner, Is as clean as any
article of food that we have. The
sooner it reaches the consumer and
the fewer hands It has to pass
through, the smaller the opportunity
for foreign matter and disease germs
to get into it. The city family that
owns, feeds and milks its own COW
enjoys one of those great privileges
that make the country better place
to live in than the city,

Usinu Hedqes Profitable.

The hedge Is one of the most valu-
able landscape assets that we nave,
and at the same time one of the most
abused. Tremendously popular twenty
years ago, 1t fell rapidly into disuse
about the same time that the front
yard fence began to be abolished. The
ornamental hedge Is beginning to
come back to its proper field now, and
we, trust that it will be more generally
used, in its proper place.
The formal hedge, particularly the
evergreen hedge, has not place on the
small lot 1t is as much out Of place
as six two-story Ionic pillars In front
Of q portable bungalow. And that
means that hedges of any kind are In
bad taste on most small lots.
If the house itself is not close to the
sidewalk, or 1t 10 desirable TO use
hedge on a small bot because Of un-
usual conditions, use low, informal
hedge such as barberry or Japanese
ounce.
The great field of the hedge is as
a beautiful boundary partition on large
grounds, or as a screen to furnish pri-
vacy and shut out disagreeable views.
In such locations the evergreen
hedge cannot be surpassed, because It
is equally effective in winter and sum-
mer, its life is from fifteen to twenty
years, and 1t forms an excellent back
ground for deciduous planting.
Use American arborvitae for the
lower hedges and he1nlock for the tree
hedges. The effect Is somber and the
view from the house will be bright
ened by planting few Colorado blue
spruce and a line of red barked fiow-
erfng dogwood against the hedge.
More graceful and cheering effects
can be secured by putting in Califor-
MIA privet, barberry or Japanese
ounce, and they are fully as satisfac-
tory In their own way.
For screens nothing can gurpass
hemlock or some OF our beautiful de-
ciduous shrubs, such as the hardy
lilacs and syringas.
In moist, cool regions, such as pre-
vail along the coast line OF New Eng
land, the lockwood plant is almost uni
versally used, and 1t makes a hedge
as smooth and solid looking as bank
Of turf.
Planting directions vary with the
season, the soil and the plants used;
hence we cannot cover them all In this
article.
Hedges may be planted successful
ly at any time Of the year that the
ground can be worked, but spring and
fall are the best times. Be sure to
fertilize well and plant thickly enough.
About SIS worth of plants will make
an ordinary hedge 200 feet long.
