ICE CREAM FROM SouREp

The iowa agricultural expert
ment station has developed an
ice cream made from sodred
milk instead of sweet milk. This
is superior to the ordinary ice
cream not only In the same re-
spects as buttermilk Is superior
to sweet milk, but because the
select culture used in the deVel-
opment of buttermiIk from the

development of Inferior germs.
Ice cream made from properly
soured whole milk is In every
way superior to the ordinary ice

TABLE BIRDS OF

Houdan Males Take Kindly to
Fattening Process and Flesh
Up Rapidly.

Houdan males are good breeders,
and seldom fail to produce chickens
that grow without much trouble. and
when the time arrives for the separa-
ton of the sexes the cockerels will
take kindly to the fattening process
and put on flesh rapidly. and make I'D
into table birds of good quality. The
flesh of the Houdan is of good color,
fine in grain, juicy and of fine flavor.
and on that account it has gained for
itself the premier position as table
bird in its native country The breed
has been used with advantage in the
production of cross-bred fowls both for
table use and egg production To
reproduce fine table birds Houdan
males are mated to buff Orpingtons,
whilst to produce good laying cross,
Houdan cockere's are mated to Leg
horn or Minorca hens The Houdan-
hite Leghorn is undoubtedly the best
cross known for Is production and

PARKS NO LONGER A LUXURY
Not Only Health Necessity, But Con-
stitute Most important
Civic Asset.

One of the latest cities to secure
general plan reports. joining in with
the leading American cities in secur-
ing such general schemes of develop
ment, is New London, Conn. The re-
port, presented by John Nolan, of Cam
bridge, formerly of Philadelphia. con-
tains the following reasons why New
London and every city should acquire
parks:
There are at least four reasons
why New London should now act in a
large way in acquiring and improving
land for use as parks and Fairgrounds.
(1) Property is steadily increasing in
value. 1t is not likely to be cheaper
than it is now (2) Once bought, park
lands increase in value. All other pub
lie works depreciate. Parks appreci-
ate. 60 Parks pay for themselves, or
more than pay for themselves, by ma
king new real estate values. Some ex-
amples in support of this statement
are given In the appendix (4 A sound
park policy, vigorously pushed by pub
lie authority. soon brings rich gifts
from private individuals. The history
of American city parks furnishes much
evidence in support of this tendency
Cities that own few parks seldom re-
eeive gifts of parks. On the other
hand, cities like Hartford, Conn. that
have long and honorable record in
public park-making, have an equally
long and honorable record of private
gifts for parks.
Parks are no longer considered
luxury by growing American cities
They are classed with streets and
sewers and schools as a necessity
They contribute directly to health and
efficiency, to pleasure and economic
wealth Moreover. they stir and nour-
ish civic pride"

Melons of Immense Size.

Turkey immense melons are grown on
the rich and moist land which, in the
wet season. forms part of the bed OF
the Tigris. For about half of the year
the river is much reduced in size and
then the melons are produced in great
abundance on the bottom lands uncov-
cred Some watermelons are declared
by American consuls stationed in that
part of Turkey to be as big as -four
barrels The musk melons are near
ly as large but rounder Neither
variety is of fine quality. the flesh be-

TWELVE HOUSES TO THE ACRE

ton in England.

On Monday, June 8, the first town
planning scheme under John Burns
planning act of 1909 became OPP
erative. Before doing SO it had to
pass through various stages of ap-
prevail by the local government board,
and also to run the gauntlet of the
houses of parliament
The plan thus approved concerns
1920 acres in the suburbs of Birm-
ingham. upon which according to the
law as established by these various
authorities. not over IL houses to the
acre may be erected This measns
that, at about five persons to the
house, this suburb laid out on the
best of lines. with open space in
abundance. will accommodate about
100000 persons
In most American cities two-story
houses are erected about 40 to the
acre. and the average number of in
dividuals is five and >~two-tenths.
This would mean a crowded popula-
ton of 482.560 on the area of 1920
acres.

Landscape Beauty an Asset.

The courts in several states have
declared that landscape beauty is an
asset and that man has neither legal
or moral right to desecrate it by the
erection of billboards All states
should eliminate every one Of these
Objectionable blots on the landscape,
be necessary in order to control the
matter. One year from date of pas
sage 0 fthe act should be given the
billboard companies to retire from the
business. This is but fair. and we
should insist that the billboard must
go.--Exchange.

A Yuletide Tragedy

Tk7HEN Josiah Gibbs found that

as he called it, and had
bought him a box of cigars
for his Christmas present he grew
wise and, with apparent sorrow, said
to her:
Now, isn't it too bad, my love? l
discovered that cigar smoking was be-
coming so injurious to me that have
quit it and have to content myself
with few whiffs now and then on
my pipe with mild tobacco. Now, isn't
1t too badv'
I'm so sorry, dearr' said Josiah
Gibbs wife "But your friends will
enjoy them. and l am sure that will
please you"
Gibbs smiled grimly and, as his wife
departed. winked knowingly at him.
self in the looking glass. And when he
saw his friend Joe Spicer he told him
how he had escaped his wife's Christ
mas cigars-Joe Spicer, the best judge
of good cigar that ever bit off the end
of a two-for-a-half. And Joe smiled
grimly too.
But every time Joe Spicer called at
Gibbs, which was often-he was an
old friend of Gibbs-he smoked one or
more Of Josiahs wife's Christmas CT
gars.
Gallant and diplomatic Of you, old
man. Gibbs would say to Spicer on
opportunity and smile his knowing
smile. And Joe would smile his.
And by and by the cigars were all
smoked by Spicer, and Gibbs wife was
led to say to Gibbs:
"It's Just a perfect shame, Josiah,
that you couldn't take any pleasure in
those cigars and that your friend Spi-
Ger should have had them ALL"
At which Josiah smiled his knowing
smile and said:
ooh, well, my love, never mind. Joe
seemed to enjoy them"
Eyes, indeed said Josiah's wife.
"Why shouldn't he?"
Which made Josiah smile more and
more and almost chuckle. But he said
nothing.
Eyes. indeed" repeated Mrs. Gibbs.
"why shouldn't he? You know, Jo-
siah, you told me that woman should
never choose cigars for a Christmas
present to her husband, as woman
knows nothing about their quality, so
asked Joe Spicer. having heard you say
often what an excellent Judge of
cigar he was, to select box for me
the best he could get-and he did.
and
Josiah Gibbs had instant business
down at the Office, where he tore his
hair and flung his pipe and tobacco
out of the window. And he passed Joe
Spicer without bowling and without his
knowing smile. But Joe still wore his.

The Reindeer

Upon a starlit night,
The best of horn and hoof,
Eight noble reindeer stood
And stamped upon a roof.
A sudden shot rang out,
A shot that fatal sped.
Hit in a mortal spot
Down fell the eight deer dead.
Beneath the snow spread roof
A man in ruthless cause
Had told little boy
There was no Santa Claus.
And after they were killed
Throughout his life's long grind
The little boy saw not
Another of their kind.
Whereof the moral lies:
In sports fair playing name
Pray let December be
Close season for the game.
