NEEDS BRAINS OF ENGINEERS
Underlying All City Planning Is the
Necessity to Secure Health and
Comfort for the People.

City planners are always busted with
civic centers, city halls, libraries,
parks, Fairgrounds, street trees, COM
fort stations, etc., all grand features,
all desirable, all even necessary, yet all
incidentals. The first problem to grap
pie with Is availability. Such work is
at present our greatest need, for all
our so-called main thoroughfares are
now too much cOngested during the
busiest hours. This is an engineers
problem. Storm drains and also sewers
are next on the program, also referred
to the engineers department. After
this we need reservations for small
neighborhood parks so that every resi-
dent may reach one from his home in
a ten-minutes' walk. Now, having made
our city available and sanitary to
satisfactory degree we are ready to
make it city beautiful and consider
all the commendable fads put forward
by bands Of energetic workers who for
many years have made large noises but
accomplish nothing. But let US first
have the engineer and have him give
us a substantial foundation on which
to lay the city.-Los Angeles Times.

PROPER CARE OF C0CKERELS
Young Fowls Will Need Plenty Of
Right Kind of Food and Shelter
for Best Development.

Those who have good cockerels
needed for breeding birds in their own
flocks will see to it that they are
properly cared for. The young cock
erels will need plenty Of the right
kind Of feed and the proper shelter
and protection so they may develop
into good birds.
The mistake is sometimes made of
not keeping enough cocherels for The
number Of hens needed on the farm.
AS result Of this, farm flocks some
times produce too small a per cent
of fertile eggs. This means consider
able loss for the infertile egg unused
in incubation is almost if not Il com
plete loss.
1t IS not easy to tell the kind of
birds young cockerels will make, at
least while they are quite young. 1t
is necessary generally to keep the
birds till their type, plumagc and
general individuality can be ascer-
tanned. The best is none too good and
no one should afford TO keep poor cock
erels. Should none Of your flock be
suitable, then dispose of all and get
good cockerels to breed up your flock.
This will be economical in the end.

3. S1.9S for each hen In the respective
groups. The ration for Lot 3 not only
cost more but was more trouble to pre-
pare. If we looked at the number Of
eggs only, it might seem that 2Ol.G
eggs were far better than 1853 or
1898, but the profit is what we are
after-the most money with the least
trouble. The farmer needs especially
to look to his profits this year of high
priced grain. Careful accounts are the
only means Of determining the cost Of
eggs per dozen, and the best-paying
ration.

How Our Cities Have Grown.

A metropolis grows up in two ways.
At first it expands legitimately, adding
furlong to furlong Of growth. Then
it leaps forward end seizes large
area overnight by act of legislature or
parliament, sweeping into its net a
score of villages and settlements. Then
it proceeds to consolidate its position,
as General Joffre might say, by filling
up the intervening spaces. In Euro-
pean cities they have an inner ring,
which is the old city, and an outer
ring, which may be anything. New
York, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, have
their inner rings, which are the leg,ti-
mate city, and the outer ring, which
came by the get-big-quick method. New
York sueeHmbed to the promoters
fever in 1898. In that year the city
absorbed large areas of virgin soil,
and a chain of Independent villages,
some Of them nearly as old as Manhat-
tan itself. From the Sound to the At
lantic they stretch across the backbone
of Long island and the lower har
Dor of Staten island, where the local
tradition, ir spite of municipal ferries
and promised tunnels, has remained at
its strongest.
Such frenGied expansion is the rea-
son why the traveller in the nearer SUBJ
urbs Of a great city will often come
across a city line which is no longer
the city lire. AS you near the old city
line from the heart of population, the
solid blocks of apartments and flats
thin out. There follow stretches of
waste land, market gardens, cemete-
ries. It is across this zone between the
old and the new city lines that the
transit railways throw their surface
lines and elevated 'extensiOns," and
close behind them are the builders,
criSs- crossing the raw acres with their
long lines Of "frame" and brick.-Har-
per's Magazine.

means must be sought to attract them

In the vicinity, and it may be made
with little effort and material. Only
small amount Of cement is required
pr, if that be lacking, pan with
stones in it set in the ground will be
equally serviceable. Trees. shrubs
and vines bearing fruit relished by
birds are great attractions in their
season.
Birds arc desirable about premises
not only on account of their beauty
and song, but because of their eco
nomic worth, according to the United
States bureau Of biological survey.
They are especially useful as insect

The manner of lighting and venti-
lating poultry house is always inn
portant, in the opinion Of Mr.. Harris.
Too much glass in poultry house
raises the temperature in the day and
permits rapid radiation at night. The
resulting wide variation Of day and
night temperatures is always injurious
to the health of the fowls.
Probably the best means OF providing
adequate light and ventilation is to
have two windows in the south side Of
the building with cloth curtain be-
tween. During stormy days, While the
curtain Is closed, the windows will pro-
vide sufficient light and the curtains
will allow sufficient ventilation without
permitting drafts.

CALL FOR HIGHEST ABILITY
Time Coming When All American Cit
les Will Employ Managers to d.
rect Civic Affairs.

A prediction that within few years
this city would adopt the city manager
plan of government was made by Rich
ard S. Childs, in introducing Henry NJ.
Waite, city manager Of Dayton O.. as
the speaker at the second Saturday
afternoon luncheon Of the City cluo
of New York. Mr.. Waite, who took
over the direction Of the affairs OF
Dayton on January 1, 1914-after Gen.
George Goethals had refused the post
outlined to about so members what
he had done to earn his $12,5O0 year
ly salary. Mr.. Waite, the dean OF city
managers, was referred to as logical
ly, New York's first manager"
'Out in Dayton we run our munich
pal affairs this way" said Mr.. Waite.
First, the people elect a council or
commission of five members, whose
duty it is to look about through the
country and locate man who might
capably direct the city's affairs. When
one such is found, the commission
questions him about his experience and
so forth, in much the same way q busl-
ness man does when he hires 4 clerk.
If the applicant measures up to the
standard, he is hired, and he, in turn,
selects the heads Of the five depart
ments Of finance, law, service, safety
and welfare.
''In selecting the heads of depart
ments ability and experience and not
politics count. Personally, l don't
know of what political persuasion my
departmental heads are. In this way
we are able to get many men who 9TH
erwise would not think of running for
Office, under the old conditions. For
example, the head Of the welfare de-
partment is a clergyman, thoroughly
capable to study out the park and rec
reation needs of our population.
