IS HELPS
MEANS LOOKING INTO FUTURE
Expert Who Has Made a Study of
City Planning Outlines objects
Sought to Be Obtained.

Although wide interest in the sub
tect of city planning is manifest to-
day, both in Europe and America,
there appears to be uncertainty as to
what it precisely is. According to a
distinguished authority whom Mr..
Lewis quotes: CITY planning simply
means getting ready for the future in
city growth. 1t is the guidance into
proper channels of a community's inn
pulses toward a larger and broader
life. On the face of it, 1t has to do
with things physieal-the laying out of
streets and parks and rapid-transit
lines. But its real signicafince is far
deeper; proper city plan has pow
erful influence for good upon the men
tai and moral development of the peo-
pie. 1t is the firm base for the build
ing of a healthy and happy COM
munity."
Mr.. Lewis studies in turn, the incep-
ton and development of this city plan
ming movement emphasizing the need
of intrusting its successful executive
to duly authorized city officials or a
special commissioner created for the
purpose the correction of mistakes,
and the general problems of transport
tation. In the delightful chapter, Gar
den Cities" he declares that the gar
den city movement goes much further
than to provide attractive homes for
those who live in or near large cities
Of to,
a protest against the extreme central
ization which has lately been the ten
deney in city development" Later
chapters are devoted to comparison
of city planning legislation in England,
Germany and the United States, the
municipal progress made under this
legislation, methods of financing city
plan, and various municipal land poll
cies. Having indicated in the body of
his book what city plan is, how
it is developed, the various problems
to be solved and the conditions which
it is necessary to provide for or guard
against Mr. Lewis points out in his
concluding chapters the opportunities
and responsibilities of the modern me-
chanical engineer. who is today max
ing "the most substantial contribution
toward the orderly development and
administration of our cities" Indeed
he declares the basic purpose of his
book. to be ito bring home to them

Common Sense Penal Treatment.

Dayton, O., used to treat its werkhouse
prisoners as most other cities treat
let them stay there in idleness, eating
poor food at the expense of the city
until their terms had expired. Under
the commission the workhouse has
been made clean and all the prisoners
given work in the open air. The wom-
an prisoners have been set to work
making towels and bed clothing. Male
prisoners are taken outdoors and used
for city work as day laborers. The re-
suit is that the city gets the benefit of
the prisoners work and the prisoner
gets the moral and physical advantage
of outdoor Observation-Disclosures.

Do not forget that old trees starve
TO death just as surely as young trees,
though by reason Of greater bulk and
a far-reaching root system they do not
so quickly show the need of food nor
SO quickly succumb. Stable manure
dug or plowed in 20 or more feet
around the tree will do as much good
as anything. Conifers that are
trimmed up from the bottom and the
up to the trunk generally undergo a
slow but sure loss of vigor. Soil should
be occasionally enriched and dug up
deeply and the needles always left for
q mulch.

OYSTER SHELL Is VALUABLE
It is Not Fed to Poultry for Purpose of
Supplying Grit, but as Material
for Egg Shell.

Oyster shell is fed to chickens for
the production of egg shells and not
for grit as some persons think, ac-
cording to r. NJ. Sherwood, acting head
of the department of poultry nus
bandry in the Kansas State Agrieul-
tural college.
Approximately 90 per cent of the
oyster shell fed laying hens is con-
verified into egg shell. which has Il
chemical composition almost identical
with that of the original shell. Clam
shells and lime, although of practically
the same composition, are not as ap-
petizing to the chickens and so are not
as valuable as the oyster shells.

were threatening to quit unless
policemen were taken away.
"iNhe men are satisfied with

the presence of policemen brands
them as non-union men," said
lsley. They won't work unless
the officers leave"
Chief Smith called off his men
at once.

NEW BIRD EXPERIMENT STATION

A novel project for demonstrating to the public practical methods of attract ing and increasing wild birds, both song and game species, is being launched by The National Association of Audubon Societies. Charles M. Ans,
 of New York city, head Of the Max Ams Machine Company of Bridgeport,
 Conn.,, who is the owner of large tract of country at Amston, Conn.,, has signed contract with this Association, through T. Gilbert Pearson, it's Score. tary and executive head, donating the use of his land, with generous financial assistance, to conduct an Experiment and Demonstration Station in Applied Ornithology. This work has been placed in charge Of the Associations's Depart ment of Applied Ornithology, under Herbert K. Job. The tract is also being made State Game Preserve and Sanc- tuary, under State Protection, the largest of it's kind in Connecticut.
 An especially interesting phase of this new work is Une breeding and attracting of wild ducks. On the tract is beautiful lake, over mile long, which is being planted with ten varie- ties of aquatic vegetation on which wild ducks feed. This lake drains through smaller pond of ideal size for the breeding of wild ducks under

full control. This has been surrounded by a seven-foot vermin proof fence, and there have been placed ill it six teen to eighteen species. representing nearly all the more valuable wild ducks of North America. including the can- vasback, redhead, wood duck, pintail, widgeon, black duck, teals, and others. The flow from the lake bring constant supply of small fish and other natural food. This collection of wild ducks makes a wonderful and beautiful sight. The glass, fronted aquatic house out in the pond, in which they winter com. fortably, swimming in open water with a temperature of fifteen below zero outside, is a model device for cold eli mate.
 The propagation of several kinds of quail, especially the common bob. white, in another phase of the work, to which other game species will be added. Still another is the attracting of the smaller birds, through planting of many species of trees, shrubs, and other growths bearing foods which birds enjoy, also artificial feeding, water supply by model bird. bath and pool, and the placing ot various nesting devices.

is finished. With the very high prices of all feed stuffs every farmer must this year plan to get good quality home grown feed as possible. Early instead of late cut hay is one way of increasing the quality of next winters feed.
 All hay, especially timothy, has a higher feeding value If cut before maturity. For dairy COWS this is a point worth considering. If timothy hay must be used for dairy cattle, cut it in full bloom or even trifie before. Never wait until the heads have ripened and turned brown. Mature hay is less palatable, less nutritious and too "woody."
 On many farms having is never finished before the middle of August. This is too late, the grass is dry and brown before it is cut. Such hay is of very poor quality, no matter whether timothy, redtop, or mixed" grasses.
 Weather is a great factor in hay making, but many fields are left too long because having was started too late. AS 6 rule the weather is more favorable from June 20 to July 20th than in August and hay cut early is best not only because better cured but because it is more palatable and more nutritious.
 Clover, orchard grass and Kentucky blue grass are the first to cut. Late cut orchard grass is little better than
