WIN. H. sehuehard. on city Planning

Wm. II. schuehardt of Milwaukee,
gave an instructive address on City
Planning before the Mems Club of the
NJ, Eschureh, last Friday evening.
The cities of this country he said,
'shaye grown too rapidly to consider
deeply how they growing. The scien-

rather than from the aesthetic motive.

There are three street systems in
general use: First, the radical, used
in Moscow, Berlin, Paris, London, and
other European eenters. Second the
American rectangular, and third
cotnbinarion of the two exampled in
Washington and New Orleans. Mos
COW, Berlin and Paris have two or
three circular streets forming complete
rings at regular distances from the
citys center, while from this center
there spread radiating thoroughfares

SEED BED FOR WINTER WHEAT
Flowing Is of Vital Concern For Soil
Preparation.

Flowing Is of Vital Concern For Soil
Preparation.
Winter wheat, if it is to get good
start and keep it, demands a thought
fully prepared seed bed, says E. V.
Laughlin in the Rural New Yorker.
Not only must the fall growth be con-
sidered but in addition the long season
Of winter idleness, interspersed fire.
quently by SHOWS and dry freezes, fol-
lowed in all probability by destructive
spring thaws and floods, must, as WELL
be forecast and prepared for. Flowing,
the feature naturally considered first,
is of vital concern in wheat raising,
and in connection with subsequent cul-
tivative processes largely determines
the size of the yield. Unless this
initial process is properly performed
all subsequent working of the land is
useless, for the results are foreordained
to end in failure.
How deep should wheat land be
plOwed? Experienced farmers gen
orally consider that five inches is Just
about right, and expert observations
since have verified their conclusions.
Wheat is rather a shallow feeder, and
this depth gives ample room for the
roots to establish themselves in the
soil. A greater depth than this is not
only unnecessary, but if the winter
following proves snowless and extreme
~ cold, it is apt to produce excessive
heaving of the soil-the prime cause
of the freezing out" so destructive of
to this deep blowing turns the poorer
under soil to the surface and furnishes
less efficient terminating bed.
Every inch of soil intended for wheat
must be turned over and broken-that
is, if a good crop is desired-for wheat
will not root well in a skim of soil,
especially if that skim lies over hard,
unplOwed ground The writer has
known good wheat lands that have
had their yields greatly reduced
through haste and cereleSSnesS in plOW-
ing. Those guilty of such negligence
are often so through enormously rea-
soning that, inSomuch as wheat is Il
shallow rooted plant, "cut and cover"
methods do not matter very much-an
error always apparent when the crop
Is harvested. Subsequent narrowing
and disking will not undo the damage,
though it may hide the cheat until re-
vealed by the stunted results of the
following summer.
After the ground is plowed it will
need to be worked into a finely pulver-
lied condition by narrowing and disk
| ing. 1t will need also to be firmed and
pressed until all air spaces and pockets
are filled in. Wheat does not germi-
nate in a coarse, cloddy soil and grows
very slowly when it does terminate.
In a soil garden-like in it's texture ger
mination takes place quite readily,
even though there is a scarcity Of
moisture The roots establish them

The bust of Mr.. Chamberlain, with
an eyeglass, at the Guildhall reminds
one of the statue of Francois Coppee in
Paris, with marble cigarette. There
are two statues in Great Britain which
deserve including in the catalogue of
sculptured curiosities. One stands in
the central square of Glasgow and
represents the figure Of james Oswald,

"OLD HICKORY" ROAD.
Tennessee to Reconstruct Highway
Long Used by Andrew Jackson.

Tennessee to Reconstruct Highway
Long Used by Andrew jackson.
While Tennessee is building good
roads under the tremendous general
impetus that has been created by the
Dixie highway movement she will hon
or the memory of President Andrew
Jackson by the construction of road
to be known as the Old Hickory high
way, running from Knoxville to Bris-
toll.
This highway will follow the route
which Andrew Jackson, or Old Hick-
DRY, used in his trips from Knoxville
to Washington. The road originally
was a pioneers trail and has been used
ever since. 1t was the stagecoach pike
in the days Of Jackson and since then
has been known as the Old Hickory
stage road.
Money and labor for the rehabilita-
ton of this highway has been provid-
ed for. This is very remarkable
route from the fact that there are nei-
Their ferries nor mountains to cross,
and the grade runs considerable under
2 per cent the greater part of the way.
This is a much shorter line than the
Memphis Bristol highway and because
passing through the great mineral
spring section of east Tennessee Is
highly attractive. sullivan county has
pike from Bristol to the county line.
Hawkins by the recent $4,000 bond
issue which it voted provided for a
pike to the Granger line, and Knox
under its S500,O00 bond issue will build
pike from Knoxville to the Granger
county line.

Observation-Disclosures
:M0LTING PERIOD OF FOWLS


The New York State College of Agri-
culture has made some interesting
findings regarding the melting period
of fowls. These may be summarized
as follows:
The hen feathers more quickly in
those areas which protect the vital
parts.
From the incubator to the laying
period chicks experience at least four
moltings, either partially or com
pletely.
Hens frequently lay during the sum-
mer while partially melting, but sell
dom during the general melting.
Young hens mott more quickly than
older ones.
Hens Noting very late mott in less
time than those melting earlier.
Hens melting very late give higher
yearly production than those melting
earlier.
Hens lose in weight while noting
Broodiness appears to retard mott
ing.
Starving the hens appears to in
crease broodiness.
Hens melting early resume produc-
ton more quickly after melting than
those Noting later.
Hens Noting early lay more eggs
during early winter than hens melting
late.
The most prolific hens will mott lat

Thought and Speech.

In spite of Emerson consistency is
hobgoblin. Most of us cannot help
feeling that what we have said one
day we must abide by the next, and
this makes us careful. We are brought
up from youth to think twice before
we speak, and so we do. We think
perhaps three or. four times, and when
we have done our thinking we have
begun to suspect that we are poor
creatures anyway and might better not
speak at all, which may be the case or
not-New York Telegram.

Kindred Minds.

At one time when Napoleon was car
rying out an operation which could
only be accomplished with absolute
secrecy he rode one day to the head of
line, where he heard a soldier say:
Faith, if | were general in chief l
know what | should do
Well" called Napoleon, what would
you do?"
The soldier unfolded his plan. 1t
was the very one which Napoleon him
self had evolved.
Rascal cried the general. will
you hold your tongueY
After the battle which had proved
the wisdom of the project he sought
about for the soldier whose mind had
mirrored his. The man was dead.

1t Is curious thing that people in

that people were burned for witchcraft
at Salem. Every little while we see

Witches were hanged at Salem, but
none was ever burned. BY the way. a
distinguished legal authority has ex-
amined the evidence used in the witch
craft cases at Salem and declares thai
it was irrefra gable-all of the ironclad
and most conclusive sort. No jury
would fail to convict today on such evil
