Usinu Hedues Profitable.

The hedge IL one Of the most valu-
able landscape assets that We have,
and ut the same time one Of the most
abused. Tremendously popular twenty
years ago, It fell rapidly into disuse
about the same time that the front
yard fence began to be abolished. The
ornamental hedge 10 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. It. IL as much out Of place
% 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.
II the house itself is not close to the
sidewalk, or 1t IL desirable to use a
hedge on a small lot because Of un-
usual conditions, use q low, informal
hedge such as barberry or Japanese
ounce.
The great field Of the hedge is as
q 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, became 1t
is equally effective In winter and sum-
mer, its life 10 from fifteen to twenty
years, and It forms an excellent back
ground for deciduous planting.
Use American arborvitae for the
lower hedges and hemlock 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 q line Of red barked how-
ering 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 az satisfac-
tory IN their own way.
For screens nothing can surpass
hemlock or some Of our beautiful de-
'ciduous shrubs, such as the hardy
AAoSo ohO oyAMoo3s
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 It makes q 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
" 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.

Much can be done TO safeguard the
milk supply OF the cities; much 10 b.
Ing done now and more viii be done
In the future, as fast ~ 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 II to
thoroughly investigate the source Of
supply and see that the milk comes
from healthy cows. and IL handled
in such a way that II reaches you
within twelve hours after milking that
II has not been warmer than 30 de-
grees since milking, and that there
has been no possible chance Of dust or
dirt OF any character getting into It
The very best and most satisfactory
way to secure pure milk, at the lowest
possible cost Ii to keep COW your
self, II your circumstances will permit
All you will need 10 q small stable,
and q 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 I'VE cents a quart, buy
ing all the feed. Many q city man 10
getting all the milk his family wants
for their own use and IL selling
enough besides to pay for his cows
entire keep.
MIX, 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 1t 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 q better place
to live In than the city.

The Town Cow.

1t is a surprising fact to many to
learn that there are a very consider
able number Of cows kept within
the limits Of every great city Cows
are q familiar sight on the streets Of
many small towns, but In our vast
cOngested urban centerB the sight Of
one 10 very unusual. OF course the
number Of COWS here Is much small
er in proprtion to the population, and
II is very unfortunate in many ways
that there are not more cows dwelling
In our midst, 80 to speak.
The city COW, when owned and man.
aged by professional milkman, has
proved to be q 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 a. advocating the opera
ton Of Commercial dairy herds under
urban conditions, but we do believe
firmly that It would be q great agent
for the better health Of city children
II there were more city cows owned
by their parents.
Census figures show that the infant
mortality rate In large cities u much
higher than among children Of the
same class, age. and mode Of life In
smaller towns or IN the country.
While q 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

almost unanimously agreed that The

when they are given all the corn they
viii eat in addition to the alfalfa. This

Fish Ind Game Laws Intended For The
Protection OF Fish And Game, And
Net individuals.

The erroneous impression seems to
have become imbedded in the mind of
some people that they have the right
to seine upon their own premises
streams which traverse their premises,
which presumption is entirely wrong,
and if anyone proceeds upon this theory
they may not be surprised to find them
selves in the clutches of the law.
The law prohibits the killing Of quail
out of season, either on your own
premises or someone elses, and also
prescribes the manner in which fish
may be taken, and prohibits SEEMING
and dynamiting, and this prohibition
extends to running streams, regardless
of whose property the SEEMING or dy-
namiting takes place. -
A Game Warden will go on duty in
this county this month, there is already
one, and very alert one in Boyle
county. These men will probably be
unknown to law abiding citizens and
law breakers alike, and one thing is
certain. every body will look alike to
them, the holding of their jobs will
depend upon their diligence, and if you
violate the fish or game laws, the
chances are very much in favor of YOU
being caught, and once caught, you
may rest assured you will be prosecut-
ed to the fullest extent. In many in
stances the State Executive Agent has
employed special counsel and sent them
into the county where the infringement
took place to assist in the prosecution
of the maiefactors.
