Ornamental detached arches in flow-
er gardens are coming back and we
are glad to greet them. This cordial
welcome will not be extended indis-
criminately, however, because most of
the amateur garden arches one sees
are as much out of harmony as Lo-
RADIO Taft's pet abhorrence-a statue
of man in high hat.
Cont put an arch in your garden
or at the entrance to your walk be-
cause you like to do carpenter work.
II you want an arch. study your prob
lem carefully and put it where it will
do the most good. Let 1t be in keep
ing with the surroundings or it will
be detriment rather than an i'm
provement.
In many cases the proper place and
surroundings for an arch already ex-
list, and the question is merely one of
the type Of arch to build. Such To-
cation would be the entrance to a
secluded garden. the end of walk or
drive, or even the street entrance.
The landscape or garden picture is
the only kind of a picture that may
be beautiful from all directions, and
even these natural scenes must be
planned from one viewpoint to get the
most satisfactory results.
In planning your arch, decide first
from which direction it will be seen
most frequently. If the view to be
emphasized is toward the house, the
arch must be of a character to har-
monize with the house. If the view
is from the house, the arch should be
in keeping with the landscape about
1t and back of 1t.
The function of the garden arch Is
to locate and accentuate a gateway, a
formal entrance to some entirely diff
ferent scenes and surroundings. 1t
marks distinct boundary line, hence
1t is entirely misplaced when the sur
roundings on either side of 1t are SIM
liar in appearance. AS a street en-
but only when there is an adjoining
barrier. hedge. fence, or at least
a clump of shrubs. Do not make the
mistake of using such an entrance in
detached manner. because In that
case 1t is a gateway without any pos
>sible purpose.
Use 1t as an entrance to the wild
flower garden, from there to the for
NAL garden. thence to the vegetable
garden, the chicken parks, the tennis
court, but always from one distinct
scene to decidedly different scene.
Beautiful arches are made of rough
limbs, of finished timbers, of lattice
work, of poles or wire. Each has its
individual uses, but all are governed
by the same principles of artistic good
taste. In the majority of cases, prob
ably, the arch should be covered with
vines, such as ivy. honeysuckle. wood
bine. climbing roses, clematis. trumpet
creeper, Japanese ivy. etc.
Most of us have no idea of the limit
less possibilities of making our homes
attractive by proper use. of the sim
pier factors of landscape gardening.
and in considering these assets the
ornamental arch should not be over
looked.

Careful experiments show that
where sllage is made from large i'm
mature corn 1t frequently has but lit
tie more dry feeding matter than is Sc
cured from about half the bulk of
corn perfectly developed.
So. mere tonnage does not count in
silage. 1t is better to. labor with less
in the harvesting and secure more in
the feeding
My practice is to plant a corn that
in height of stalk and extent of foli-
age will produce me maximum
quantity of fodder that will remain
green long. and each stalk produce
one or more well developed. good
sized ears.
1t is waste of time, .abor and

The amount of capital thus seen to
be necessary in order to start off n
dairy farm properly. under the condi-
tions here assumed, is about $4,000
($3,9sD; or. II the farmer desires to
pay cash. which is always safer. the
total capital required is $7.447.
In starting such farm 1t is highly
important not to buy the cows until
one has feed on hand for them. BY
starting early in the spring the farmer
can usually be ready for the cows By
September or October.
1t is. of course, possible to start in
with less equipment than above given:

Fire in Tunnel on U. p. Checked.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Through traffic
on the Union Pacific was threatened
when the Aspen tunnel, a mile-long
bore by which the road passes into
Uinta county. caught fire. The tun-
mel walls drip oil and contain seams OF
coal and it~was feared that the fire
would become general and traffic be
indefinitely delayed. A general alarm
was sent out to neighboring stations
but the crew of freight train who
discovered the fire were able to
check 1t after some timber had been
burned.

Ground Oats.

Ground oats with the hulls sifted
out make almost ideal food for young
pigs. While oats scattered on the
ground in a dry place make an excel
lent feed for brood sows. Crushed or
ground oats as slop may form one
third the ration for brood sows or
growing pigs until they reach the
period of fattening, but oats are not
profitable as feed for fattening hogs.

principal difference being that the
percentage in real estate is larger on
the New Hampshire farms than in the
estimates above, while the percentage
in machinery and miscellaneous Is
smaller. A slight difference in the
price paid for real estate would make
these figures agree very closely.

QUEEN MORRIS
/ HONORS PROPHET
With 100 Others She Conducts
Services in Memory of Church
Founder Crowdy.

More than one hundred members or
the Independent Church of God and
Saints of Christ attended the me-
mortal services in honor of the dead
founder, Prophet William s. Crowdy,
held Yesterday in the church at Is
Lewis street. The members were at
tired in the official uniforms of their
church. The congregation Is com
posed of negroes.
Brown suits, black sashes, black
hree-cornered hats and swords com
pose the uniform worn by the men on
these state occasions The women
wore brown skirts, blue silk waists,
blue silk sashes and crowns. Inc
services at the church consisted OF
prayers for the late prophet and
eulogies on his life. Queen Morris,
present head of the sect, presided
The queen today explained the origin
and customs of the church.
EVERY year on the 4th of August
we hold services in honor of our dead
prophet" explained the queen. he
died five years ago yesterday. our
prophet was the good William D.
Crowdy, who received a vision from
E
prophet and ordered to lead the
people to ways of righteousness. He
lived in Oklahoma, but came on here
TO Newark after being anointed
prophet and founded the Independent
Church of God and Saints of Christ.
What occupation did the prophet
have before this vision?" the queen
was asked.
"Oh. he was a cook on the Santa
Fe railroad when he was in the world
Then he left the world and that po-
sition and came on here to lead the
people. There is only one small
branch to this church, located IN
Montclair. This year we did not have
khe usual parade of members to
Woodland Cemetery, where the
prophet is buried. There were JUST
yten of us that made the journey to
the cemetery and placed the flowers
on his grave. Seven deacons walked
behind the carriage, in which | was
seated with my brother. Drinks Carter
and Evangelist Fred Hamilton.
"Since the death of the prophet
have been head of the church and,
of course, / am known all over New
ark and the suburban towns.
She's a good queen" volunteered
one of the members present, "she
teaches us to lead clean lives not to
steal and follow the ways of right
eousness.'
"There is a passage in the Bible
which tells about my coming" added
the queen; "it tells how a queen would
rise up among the people and rule,
but not in the way the worldly queens
rule. / have also been anointed by
God to lead the flock after the death
of the prophet"
The queen also conducts grocery
and drygoods store in Livingston
street.
