Value Of Parka.

Public parks are important factors
In promoting the health, happiness
and general wellbeing of all the peo-
pie. but more particularly those liv-
ing In crowded parts of cities. Parks
also bring all In closer touch with
nature, encourage outdoor sports and
recreations. giving exercise and pure
air to the lungs of tired factory work
ers and those Of sedentary habits:
people who are always glad OF a
chance to spend day amid restful
scenes and under conditions OF ease
and comfort. Tired wives and moth
ers: children Of all classes without
distinction, all meet on common
ground In public parks where there
are equal rights for all; special privi
lsgss for none.

Ouack Grass,

AS a usual thing, Quack grass does
not mature its seed in hay or In win
ter grain crops, since they are cut too
early, but in hay that is left standing
for seed and In spring grains 1t does
become mature and Is carried from
field to field or from farm to farm by
the threshing machine, in manure, in
hay and straw or in seed grain or
grass seed.
The first thing to do is to learn to
know quack grass seed and then re-
fuse absolutely to use any grain for
seed that contains it. AS soon as the
fall work Is well out Of the way get
the tanning mill in working order and
clean the seed grain SO well that there
Is no weed seed Of any kind in it.
With oats and barley the work must
be done particularly well, since quack
seed resembles these to a certain ex.
tent, although 1t is much smaller. Buy
your seed, grain and grass seed early
and be absolutely sure that you get no
quack seed In either.

Must Plan for Structures.

or much more importance than
plans for streets, are those for the
structures on them. In fact, often ex-
penditure for streets indirectly raises
death rates. have in mind several
cities near here that have spent all
OF their money, bonded themselves to
the utmost, and are now practically
bankrupt, having exhausted their re-
sources for expensive paving, wrote
Daniel H. Burnham. Their death
rates are high, yet they can do moth.
ing for their people, because of their
orgies OF street building. They have
no health department, no hospitals. no
laboratories, no school inspection. no
building inspection, no anything which
runs straight to the welfare Of the
people, because of their street i'm

Newspapers Best for Theaters.

vertising mediums recently, said that

to be secured from newspaper adver-
Using. They are. he declares. the

If a man and his wife suddenly de-
eide after dinner to attend the thea.

street and scan the billboards for half

not find it they hunt up yesterdays. So

theater goers. Under present condi-
lions | am convinced that the daily
newspaper carries stronger influence
and secures better results"
All of which Is sound common sense
and will be endorsed by thousands OF
business men who appeal to the pub

AMERICA MIGHT COPY THESE
English Towns and Villages Shown to
Be Far Ahead of Those Of
This Country.

Those who read the report OF the
Stanley investiga ing committee,
which arraigned the methods Of the
United States Steel corporation In
dealing with It's employees, will be
impressed by an account of an Eng
fish village, which was printed recent
ly in the Yorkshire Observer OF
bradford. England The condition OF
the average small wage Garner in the
mine and factory districts OF the Unit
ed States is not enviable. Social sur
veys have afforded the general public
opportunities to study the way In
which these poorer Americans live.
In contrast is the successful expert
ment conducted by the Yorkshire
Main colliery at Ellington, near Don
caster. England.
Land near the mine was sold to a
reputable land development company.
which in turn sells or leases plots to
private builders. The latter are re-
CURED to conform to sanitary and
INTELLECTUALLY pleasing plan approved
by the colliery company. The site OF
the village Is 1870 feet above the sea
level On one hand Is picnicking
woods and on the other hunting
grounds and the picturesque cli1 OF
Levitt Hagg. The streets are wide
and have grass plots and trees In the
center, There are ample yards. the
business houses are confined to one
particular district and space has been
allotted to four churches. Two recre-
alton grounds have been laid out with
a combined area OF four acres In the
center of another four acres Is the
village school, At present there are
$50 cottages. but with an addition I'M

Do not ever believe, you boys OF

One OF the big men OF the Chicago

the country boy, If he has the chance
Of an education and lives in good

nat.bred, steam-heated city boy.

SOME SYSTEM IS NECESSARY
PouItrymen Should Keep Books, Same
az In Any Other Line Of Business
1T Stops Leaks.

Poultry keeping is a business
and should be conducted along
business lines. Some system of
accounting is necessary. The poul.
tryman should keep records of all
the income and expenses of his busi-
ness in order to know whether 1t Is q
paying proposition or not. II it does
not pay he should know 1t and either
stop the leak or go out of business
An elaborate system Of bookkeeping
is not necessary. If the poultryman
wishes to avoid keeping full accounts
he can at least keep a cash account.
This does not express the exact tinan-
cial condition Of the business, but Is
an excellent help so far as 1t goes.

Necessity for Testing Seed.

Good seed corn is the key to getting
good stands Of corn. A good stand OF
corn Is necessary to secure good
yields. Owing to the wet fall of 1911
there Is now much doubtful seed corn
In the country.
One cannot afford to plant corn any
year, much less this year, without
testing. The single-ear method of
testing seed corn is the only practical
method.
