Peppina is difficult role because

BEST TREES FOR THE STREET
Selection Should by No Means Be Al.
lowed to Be Mere Matter of
Haphazard.

AS to the planting Of street trees
it is we'll before coming to any definite
decision to study the special situation
carefully and to consult reliable nur-
seryman and then plant with a fixed
determination to give each tree every
possible chance to make good, which
means protection from insects, giving
water when needed, insisting that
drivers do not leave their horses near
the trees where they can gnaw the
bark, and last but not least, seeing
that the trees have an occasional prun.
ing. The following is a list of the
best standard street trees: Rock and
Norway Naples, the foliage turning
a rich gold ard crimson in the au-
tum; American Ash, which has beau.
tiful compound foliage, dark green
above and lighter beneath, and turns
from green to- yellow and then to a
purplish tint in the autumn; English
Elm, which is very ornamental and re.
tains its leaves longer than any other
variety il the autumn, but which
should be protected by spraying from
the gypsy moth and elm beetles;
American Linden, which flowers in
July, but as the blossoms are small
the falling petals do not litter the
ground; Ginkso, Japanese tree, grow
ing to a height Of some forty to sixty
feet and robust enough to endure gen.
eral city planting; Sycamore and ORR
entail Plane, the latter rapid grower
and singularly free from insects. The
Blue Gum tree may be also added to
the list in southern climates.

TURNING sILAGE INTO BEEF
II Cannot Be Considered as Substi-
tute 10" Other Necessary Materi.
ais In Animals Ration.

The word "silage" at one time sug-
gested only brimming milk pals and
big milk checks. Nowadays it is as
we'll big factor in putting the fin
ishing touches on choice sirloin beef.
Silos are common in the beef feed
ing sections of Wisconsin. The main
reason for feeding silage to beef cat
tie is economy of production. 1t can
not be considered as substitute for
other necessary materials in the ra-
tion, according to ]. L. 1'ormey, Col
lege of Agriculture, University Of Wis
consin, who gives a few suggestions
as to the feeding of silage for beef
production under local conditions.
Glover or alfalfa hay should be
fed along with the silage in the win
ter. If clover or alfalfa hay is not
obtainable, use timothy or mixed hay.
In addition to the corn silage and hay
allowance, about three or four pounds
of cottonseed meal for each 1000
pounds of live weight OF the animal
should be Ied daily.
"Two-year-old steers weighing about
1000 pounds may be started on about
20 to 25 pounds Of silage, 6 to 8 pounds
Of clover or alfalfa hay, and S to 6
pounds of mixture consisting Of six
parts of corn to one part cottonseed
meal by weight daily. In period
Of two weeks the cattle may be
brought up to full rations, If care
fully watched. At this time they will
eat about is to 20 pounds of silage,
5 to s pounds of hay and IL to Il
pounds of grain mixture daily.
"As cottcnseed meal is rather high
priced this year, wheat bran or glu-
ten feed may be used instead with al
most as good results and at saving
in cost Of production"

Many Mislaid Articles.

Protectors against rain seem to be
the most easily forgotten impedimenta
that the traveller carries. During re-
cent week 157 articles were left in
trains Of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway. OF these, 81 were umbrellas
and Is were raincoats. These articles
were probably carried by unusually
forehanded travellers, but doubtless
the clouds cleared off and the careful
citizens became preoccupied in fair
weather thoughts.

BUILDING DoG-PR00F FENCE
Most Economically Constructed by
Setting Posts Ten Feet Apart
Put Barbed Wire First.

A dog-proof fence can be economic
s.lly built in the following manner:
Posts are set ten to twelve feet apart
and barbed wire is first stapled to
them right on the surface of the
ground. Three inches above this is
placed panel of close-woven wire, 36
inches high, and about this two
strands CT ordinary barbed wire. Care
should be taken to see that there are
no openings between the ground and
the lowest barbed wire An inclosure
made in this manner, into which sheep
may be turned at night, is inexpensive,
and dogs will not go through it. Most
of the damage by dogs is done at

HIS VISION OF FUTURE CITY
French Architect Sees Great Changes
TO Be Brought About in the
Years to Come.

At a recent gathering Of world-re-
nowned architects Edouard Henard,
architect for the city of Paris, pre-
sented a paper which included a num-
Der of novel suggestions as to the re-
quirements in the city plan of the fu-
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 a 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 will require a 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
er 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 d health measure, because
of the fact. that a meter Of fresh air
from a nearby street contained 6,G0o
disease germs, while the same amount
from the mountains or the 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 other fuels, he suggests the
possibility Of an oil pipe service for
all residences similar to the gas pipes
now In use.
The old idea that the street should
be level with the ground may in fu-
ture be considered erroneous. It
should be sufficiently above the sur
face it is held, to give room for all
these service utilities between it and
the ground. The adjacent houses
should have basement floors. The
sidewalks and roadways should be
built like continuous substantial
bridges, which after proper construe-
ton, would not need to be meddled
with except for repairs They should
be supported by walls Of masonry par
allel to the adjacent houses and on q
level with the second story.
Such a plan would make the modern
city street two storied, the upper
part for pedestrians and light weight
vehicles, the lower for service and
heavy traffic. This arrangement has
already been introduced in Chicago
for traffic between the railway sta
tions and certain private warehouses.
Reinforced concrete roofs, Mr.. He
nard holds, will provide gardens and
also landing places for the aeroplanes
which will come into more general use.
Garages and hangers will be available
below the surface and great elevators
will lift these machines from their
subterranean quarters as desired.
The beginning Of these innovations
is said to be already in sight. At least
one large American hotel has already
provided roof landing for aeroplanes.
New York has now a public play
ground and garden built upon bridge
trestling fifty feet from the ground.

TO DESTROY GRAPE INSECTS
Flea-BeetIe and Leaf-Hopper as Adults
Spend the Winter Under Old
Trash and Fallen Leaves.

Several grape insects winter among
the fallen grape leaves in trash in
vineyards and much may be done to
destroy them If the trash be raked
together and burned.
Such work will be of value against
the grape-berry moth and the grape
leaf folder, which hibernate in the
pupal condition in the fallen grape
leaves.
The grapevine fiea-beetle and the
grape leafhopper spend the winter az
adults under trash Of all kinds In and

of trash as indicated will expose them
