dealers and the public" she explained.
First of all. those patrons who will
pay cash for their purchases and carry
them home should be charged only for
the products and not for service which
is neither asked for nor received. Here
1 want to emphasize the fact that the
woman who pays cash and takes her
marketing home in basket should not
be expected to pay the same price for
materials as the woman who buys on
credit and orders her things delivered.
Where this latter system Is used. the
cost of delivery must necessarily be
covered by an increase in the price OF
the food.
in the ideal market the consumer as
well as the dealer should profit by
low rental for stalls and equipment.
The market should also contain
larger and fresher assortment of food
products than may be found in the pri
vate establishment. Then. too. the Of
fetal inspection of a municipal market
must needs be very thorough, thus pro-

quality, weight and measure.
But, while it is rather simple mat

tinued with little smile 'ft is much
more difficult to successfully establish
such an institution. Politics and poor
management often nullify the possible
first question for the city to consider
is whether the people want a municipal
market and will patronize it.
Cities having a well developed mid.
die class and a large foreign element
usually support public markets best.
The size of a city is also an important
factor. for a municipal market is sell

THE location of a market is a most
important item. which is frequently
overlooked by cities. AS a rule, a mar

THE SINS OF THE CHILDRENi A
Novel. BY cosmo Hamilton. author
Of The Blindness of Virtue" etc
Frontispiece by George o. Baker
Boston: Little, Brown & Go.
An engaging love story. one Of the
fragrant and idyliic sort. runs through
contributory element in what is
really serious and sustained charge
against parents for an unforgivable
neglect of the welfare Of their children.
This is the story Of family Of young
folks, two handsome daughters and two
fine. outstanding sons. A good little
mother and a father absorbed in his
own professional success and prestige
have. so to speak, washed their hands
OF any intimacy or any genuine resDon-
sibility toward these four children.
Schools and travel and society have
taught them Il great many unimportant
things, but there appears to have been
no one at all to face them upon the two
or three essential facts Of their exist
ence. Their parents would have been
frighteped to death at the mere thought
of enlightening their children. Indeed.
they are rather pitiful in their fear of
facing life for the benefit of their ig-
norant offspring. 30. each of the four
sooner or later comes to the brink of
disaster from which he Is saved only
by the kindly providence Of the author
himself. The story opens at oxford.
where the oldest son is an Undergrad
uate There is the place, too. where the
evil genius of this honest and friendly
family appears. From oxford to Lon
don and then on to New York the story
moves in a web of interesting social
incident and in realistic development
OF the situation whose real source is
the wrong parental attitude toward
these fine, lusty. life-loving children
Mr.. Hamilton has drawn real charac-
tiers here, and supplied them with nat
haviors. The Oldest son is notably
worth while to readers. and the father
himself Is as much to be pitied and
loved as he liz to be censured. II the
author has been too openhanded any
where. IL is in the delineation Of the
young Englishman who proved to be
the evil genius of this unsophisticated
and lovable family. The story serious
in purpose. is admirably developed to
meet and impress that purpose.

and also the alley can lie washed out

Very often q litter carrier and track
is installed so that the manure can be
handled in the easiest way.
The nets in the pens are raised
above the floor and are made OF plank
spaced about "A inch apart. These
planks are generally fastened togeth.

This keeps the planks off the floor SO
that they can be kept dry. Cleats are
often nailed to the walls so that the
nests can be hung up when the house

The walls are made double, so that
the hogs will be protected from any
draft. This house is built with by g.

foundation by studding sockets. The
outer side of the studding is covered
with drop siding, and on the inside

orally covered with a heavy screen.

vided, as it is very important that the
hogs have plenty of fresh air. This
air must be obtained without causing

RIGHT SYSTEM FOR ORCHARD
Before Ordering Fruit Trees Arrange.
ment Should Be Carefully Fig
ured Out on Paper.

Before ordering trees for an orchard
plantation determine carefully the
acreage and the system to be adopted
in planting the trees. 1t will make
great deal of difference whether the
trees are set in rectangular, hexag.
onal or quincunx form. The most
common system of these is the rec
tangular. In this system the square
or rectangles are easily cultivated.
However, this does not give as many
trees to the acre as other systems and
they are not equally distributed over
the land.
The hexagonal system means that
the trees are set out six trees in
circle with the seventh tree in the
center. When set out this way the
trees are equally distant in every di-
rection and the trees use equally the
ground and air space, so as to pro-
vide a splendid distribution.
The quincunx system is desirable
when filters are to be used. 1t means
planting in squares or rectangles and
putting a filler in the middle so as to
provide for five trees in the square.
When the orchard is mature the mid
die tree can be taken out. This will
bring 25 per cent more trees to the
acre than by the rectangular system
and lends itself very nicely to the
filler system.
Take piece of paper and figure the
arrangement all out before setting the
orchard. DO not plant trees at such
a distance that when 1t comes time
to thin them out the trees will be too
far apart. Make a careful study of
the work at first and 1t will help very
much

good shape.
Hogs have often been known to for
age through the winter in good shape,
but they cannot do this and develop in
to high-grade porkers such as are want
ed in the market. They will use up all
the energy that they receive from
their feed in developing heat to pro-
tect them from the cold. Under such
conditions it is impossible for them
to develop into fine heavy hogs that
will command good price.

the most modern way and is suited

above grade for distance of IS
inches. These foundations carry the
weight of the side walls and part of
the roof. The roof is further sup
ported by the posts on either side Of
the center alley. These posts are car
ried on concrete piers. The founda-
lions extend all the way around the
building and form an effective protec-
zion against rats and mice. The low.

likely to get dirty and form harbor
