" HELPS
HIs VISION OF FUTURE CRY
French Architect Secs Great Changes
TO Be Brought About in the
Years 10 Come.

At recent gathering Of worId-re-
nowned architects Edouard Henard,
architect for the city Of Paris, pre-.
scented a paper which included a num-
Der of novel suggestions as 70 the re-
quirementa IN the city plan OF the 10.
ture He predicted that public service
within the next quarter Of a century
will include many details not yet even
under consideration. Most Of these
are to be supplied by tube and pro
vision for q perfect network OF serv-
ice tubes must be made In city plan
ming. They would seriously interfere
with present arrangements
Vacuum cleaning may be one OF
these and It viii require pipe from
every house for the pneumatic dust
removal which will be regarded as an
essential part OF public health work
As the uses Of cold air increase, 9TH
or tubes will supply It to lower the
temperature as desired and for the
distribution Of fresh air from the sea
or the mountains. Mr. Henard empha-
sized the feasibility of this fresh air
supply as a health measure. because
81 the fact that a meter OF fresh air
from a nearby street contained 5000
disease germa. while the same amount
from the mountains or tile sea need
contain almost none. As coal oil Is
largely used for fuel purposes In Paris
and Is productive OF less smoke and
dust than either fuels. he suggests the
possibility Of an Oh pipe service for
all residences similar 70 the gas pipes
now In use
The old idea that the street should
be level with the ground may in fu-
tuTe be considered erroneous. Il
should be sufficiently above the sur.
face Il Is held. TO give room for all
these service utilities between Il aud
tha ground The adjacent houses
should have basement floors. The

Acquiring a Farm.

The question IS frequently raised
as 20 whether under present eondi-
tions il is possible for a Young man
with no capital bat health and in
dastry 70 acquire q farm Of his own,
says the Farm and Fireside In
Washington county, MINI, lives
james Blank. q young farmer,
whose experience should be an en-
couragement 70 other young farm
ers. But his real name isn't Blank.
This young farmer. leaving home
and parents, came 70 this country
from Sweden at seventeen years II
age. For nine years he worked A.
farm hand for the best farmers il
the country, Practically All Of the
nine years were spent in the employ
of two farmers. After nine years
Of apprenticeship as farm hand he
had saved sufficient money so that
he was able TO buy q small farm
equipment and rent a farm. Al
with many other young farmers,
the time Of changing from farm
hired man TO tenant was that Of his
marriage.
After three years he bought for
IS, 600 the 1870 acre place which he
was then farming as a tenant. Since
buying the original place he has
bought another forty acres. Now
he owns 1850 acres, worth, Will
improvements, about $4,000, and
equipment, in the way Of live stock,
feed and machinery, worth 81, 100.
There is 4 mortgage Of $1,000 or
the farm Deductine this, leaves
the young farmer worth $40, 100.
During the year Of 1914 thii
farmer made $3.50 as his labor
income In, other words, he had
1880 for his own work above farm
expenses and i per cent on the IN
vestment Of sll,lo0.

Keep The Hogs
Free From Lice.

have found very effective
method Of letting the hogs keep
themselves free Of lice. Set several
short posts in the yards aud pastures.
Wrap the posts with old sacks; and
then once week saturate these
sacks with crude oil or one of the
coal tar dips The Ionse bites the
hog, he rubs the spot on the sacks
and the oil or din kills the louise.
Simple, irn't III The hogs soon
learn TO use the posts, and II the
sacks are kept saturated, there will
be little danger Of lice eating up the
profits in hog raising. J. Grant.
