DESTROY BEAUTY OF CITY
Cards and PIacards Have No Place In
Streets OF Amy Well.ordered
Community.

Political ambitions are becoming SO
much an obstacle to civic beauty that
the esthetic souls of many communi-
ties have been on the verge of rebel
lion for some time past. When man
becomes obsessed with a desire to
shine in public life he announces his
matchless virtues by means Of flaring
cards and placards. These cards are
placed at every point where the hui
man vision might be expected to dwell.
Does one pause to enjoy the grandeur
Of q rural scene, he Is reminded from
every tree and rock that "Smith Is the
peoples choice for constable" or that
Zones stands for the square DEAL
The outrage is heightened by series
Of homely visages showing the aspiring
ones in various poses of vanity.
Vandalism Is strong term. but Is
1t too strong for such practices? The
worst part is that 1t Is perennial. The
bounteous crop sown at election time
is permitted to remain the year
thC tihiC tuC CASihChtc
have succeeded in destroying one crop,
another has put In appearance. Cards
may be found in any grove-the cards
of men who have been politically dead
for years. 1t may have been proved
at the polls that the erstwhile 'peo-
pies choice" was not any ones choice;
yet he must be RECALLED with the pla-
cards on every tree and eminence.
Minneapolis, whose finer sensible
ties have been aroused, will have no
more of this. Hereafter, candidates
will have to proclaim their virtues in
some other manner. 1efacement of
scenery by homely visages and trite
slogans will be inhibited by law. At
an election now impending. most Of the
candidates have agreed to keep their
placards out Of public scenic places.
Others are to be arrested. The ex-
ample set by Minneapolis Is worthy

and loose hair out Of the brush, says
writer in an exchange. Because Of Its
steel teeth and general harshness and
stiffness, the currycomb should never
be used about the limbs. There are
some people who can use 1t on the legs
and about the bony places of the
horses anatomy without irritating the
animal past all endurance. They are
softer-handed than most Of us.
The broomcorn brush takes the place
of the currycomb In cleaning the
horses legs. In using the currycomb
1t should be laid fiat and carried lightly

Then take the brush and with 1t thor
oughly cleanse the hair and the skin.
After using the brush take damp
ened cloth and go over the surface, fol-
lowing this by rubbing with dry cloth.
In cleaning and grooming the head and
the legs use the stiff broomcorn brush,
clean with the hairbrush, and finish
the operation with the dampened and
dry cloths.

TROUBLES OF LARGE CITIES
Land Ownership In Europe Carries Re.
sponsiblilties That Are Unknown
In This Country.

In Europe extensive land ownership
frequently involves municipalities in
improbable disputes. A large town
owning parcel Of land In nearby
township proposes to build hospital
on it. The project is not pleasing to
the township; it's council prepares
building plan for the district, and runs
street through the proposed hospital
site. Berlin itself was, only a few
years ago, treated thus by suburban
neighbor. Electoral laws are severe;
Acknowledgement is sweeping in eff
feet. Under the ''three class" method
Of apportioning the voting power, a
taxpayer in the first class" may have
thirty times as much voting power as
one In the second, and 400 times as
much as their third class" neighbor.
Again, municipal governments are
business agencies with most liberal
charters. They build barracks-in the
larger cities the average number of
persons housed in one structure runs
from Frankfort's 20 to Berlin's TT
and these structures are material Of
purely speculative business which
cannot be regarded as healthful In
fiuence physically or politically In the
city's life. These things and hun
dred others of similar nature do not
condemn German municipal govern
ment any more than the peculiar ex-
cellences Of the system constitute a
condemnation of the British system In
which those particular excellences are
lacking. But they do bring out the
difficulties Of government and empha-
size the fruitlessness Of comparison

What Impressed Her.

Shortly after Will Crooks, the labor
leader, was elected to parliament, says
an English weekly, he took his little
daughter to Westminster. She was
evidently awed at the splendors around
her, and maintained profound and
wondering silence all the time. Mr..
Crooks was much impressed.
SWELL" said he to her at last, what
are you thinking so deeply about,
dear?"
II was thinking daddy" answered
the little girl, shat you're big man in
our kitchen, but you aren't very much

One of the details Of planning which
should not be overlooked Is the matter
of window seats, Of which there can
hardly be too many In home. In
every bay window where possible a
window seat should be constructed,
and so constructed as to be useful as
well as ornamental; that It have COW
ers In the top, neatly hinged and so
arranged that they may be easily OPEN
ed to permit using the space under
the seat for the storage Of things
which 1t Ii desired to have handy and
for which there seems no other con-
venient place.
Around the fireplace there is Moth
ing more attractive and comfortable
looking than a nice built-in seat, and

HANDLING ALFALFA FOR HAY
Plant Should Be Allowed to Stand un'
I'll Well In Bloom-Sprinkle
With Salt and Lime.

To make the best horse hay, alfalfa
should be allowed to stand until well
In bloom, according to the Nebraska
College Of Agriculture. In curing horse
hay, 1t is well to keep In mind that
the dust which is present in so much
alfalfa Is largely a result Of the pres
ence of foreign moisture, such as rain
or dew, at making time, rather than
the presence of little moisture within
the plant. If alfalfa hay is stored in
the barn for horses, 1t is well, while
moving 1t away, to sprinkle 1t gener-
ously with mixture Of equal parts
of salt and air-slaked lime.

PROHIBITION AND THE FARMER


There are In the United States
about 100000 farmers, and they
constitute ten per cent of the entire
population. The value of their an
nual products is approximately $1O,-
0OO,O00OO0, or $1,000 for each farm
er. The liquor interests claim that
should prohibition prevail the farm
ers will be deprived of their market
for this large amount Of produce.
There is another side to this ques-
ton. Mr.. Charles Sickle has made a
careful study of the situation. He
says:
1.-THE liquor industry purchases
every year about $100,000,000 worth
Of produce from the farmer, and
therefore the liquor industry con-
sumes just one per cent of all that
the farmer produces, that is, $40 for
each farmer in the United States. The
question\is, what will the poor farm
err do with his $40 worth of produce
which the liquor industry cannot pur-
Shdoc WINCH IL 10 put oul "a uuoihOSSi
There are over 100000 families in
the United States which would pur-
chase the stuff now sold to the liquor
men. According to study made by
the department of labor of the United
States, the average workingman's
family spends annually about $500 for
food. This would make a total of at
least S10,0Oo,O00,00O per year for the
100000 families.
"If the 20,000000 families were each
to increase their purchasing power
one per cent, or SIS per year, it would
amount to exactly $100,000000-the
sum of the liquor mems purchases
from the farmer. But let us assume
that the retail figure at which the av-
erage family would be compelled to
buy is twice as high as the liquor
men pay. This would increase the
amount necessary to be purchased to
$40 per year for each family, or about
twenty cents per week. There can be
no doubt that, with the increasing
earning power and spending ability of
the average workingman's family due
to the abolition Of the liquor traffic,
the average family will easily wish to
spend at least twenty cents more per
week for cherries, peaches, apples, ber-
ries and the various forms of grain, to
say nothing about flour and bread and
other materials which come primarily
from the farm"

COMB AND BRUSH FOR HORSE
Equipment Needed In Every Stable
Whether on Racetrack or Farm
Use for Currycomb.

A currycomb, broomcorn brush,
scraper, stiff brush and number of
rags Of the right sizes should be
part Of the grooming equipment of ev-
cry stable, no matter whether the
stable is located on a farm or at the
edge of racetrack. In most instances
the currycomb should be used only to
lightly raise and loosen the sweat and
scurf over the fleshy portions of the
horses body, the main Glance being
placed upon the brush.
The brush is the best implement for
cleaning the body, as 1t does the work
well and easily, and does not irritate
the horse. find that the principal use
for the currycomb in cleaning most
horses is in using it to scrape the dirt

ALFALFA PASTURE FOR HOGS
Care Should Be Exercised That II Is
Not Pastured Too Closely Cut
Occasionally.

For growing out" little pigs and
carrying over dry sows good pasture
Is valuable asset to the hog raiser.
Alfalfa makes the best pasture for
hogs. In pasturing alfalfa, care should
be taken that 1t Is not pastured too
heavily. If this is done, the alfalfa
will be badly killed out in two or
three years and 1t will be necessary
to reseed. Pasturing should never be
carried on SO heavily but that one
half ton Of hay per acre can be cut
three times a season. The occasional
cutting Of the alfalfa induces new
shoots to grow, and hence greatly In
proves the pasture for the pigs.

MAKING SUCCESS WITH HOGS
Breed and Feed Well and Give Good
care-Don't Allow Litters to
Lose Growth.

1. Select large, roomy, stretchy dams
2. Breed to bears whose ancestry
shows tendency to growthiness.
3. See that SOW is In prime condition
every day she carries the litter.
4. Don't allow the filters to lose an
hours growth from lack of proper nour-
ishment or exposure after narrowing.
5. Use every precaution at weaving
time to see that growth is maintained
6. Bone-making feed must predomi-
nate in first six months of pigs life.
Z. Maintain balanced ration later or
and be sure the pigs grow every day.

HAVE YOU ASTHMA?

If you have this will interest you. Mr..
and Mrs. III. Brown wrote us as follows:
1--WE have son who had asthma for nine
years, and we spent night after night try
ing to enable him to breathe. We con-
suited physicians and used their prescrip.
tons. We also used other famous asthma
remedies, from which he got only tempo
rary relief. We saw an advertisement Of
I.ung-Vita and have used several bottles.
If he has asthma now we can't tell it. We
are no longer disturbed and distressed
about his condition. He enjoys life, and
SO do we." Mr.. Brown is member Of
the H. Brown Furniture Co. of Nashville,

Wide Streets In Uruguay.

Cities that are worrying over narrow
streets and sidewalks may take a les
son from the recent action of Monte
video, capital of Uruguay, which has
passed an ordinance requiring that all
buildings be erected at least 1913 feet
from the boundary line, except In the
business district, where 1872 feet
spare frontage must be allowed for
walks and parking, and must be en-
tirely free from steps, balustrades and
ornaments.
