ance of the Grass.

For many years European cities
have turned out flocks of sheep, NUM-
cipally owned to Craze in their parks.
The sheep is n Of the best of lawn
mowers. 1t crops closely, yet not too
closely, insuring that smooth-shaven
effect which delights the eye. And
grazing sheep, as well as well-trim-
med lawns, are highly ornamental.
The city of Denver, keenly aware of
the necessity for the utilization OF all
available land in the production Of
foodstuffs. has decided to purchase no
fewer than 5000 sheep to NOW its
park lawns next year. The agricul-
tural experts have decided that where
the grass is heavy and we'll rooted
three sheep to the acre can be easily
maintained. They will buy ewes ready
for lambing, according to plans, and
will make a handsome profit upon the
mutton and'wool.
There are $50 cities in the United
States with populations in excess or
$4,000, and practically every one OF
these cities has hundreds of acres of
park land. These park acreages, the
government believes, could easily
maintain 10000 sheep each summer.

TO DISTRIBUTE GARDEN CROPS
Disposition of Vacant Lot Produce in
Cities Will Be Systematized This
Coming Season.

In every city where the vacant lot
gardening movement received atten-
ton the past summer-and the num-
Der is represented most accurately by
an atlas of the United States-there
has been in full sway a movement hav-
ing in view the preservation and con-
%Servation and wise distribution of the
abundant crops produced. Demon
STATIONS in drying. canning and pre-
serving of fruits and garden produce
were given all summer from one end
of the land to the other, so there seems
little danger Of the waStage or loss OF
the city lands abundance. And that
is not all.
City officials and civic organizations
have actively concerned themselves
with plans for next year. Fall plow-
ing was provided for. Needed enrich
ment of the soil and the securing and
proper distribution of fertilizers are
being considered. More systematic and
more thoroughgoing methods for the
direction and handling of the city gar
dening movement are being worked
out. In a word, the thought and in
tent of the city jewellers of the United
States are for a still more abundant
harvest next season from the vacant
lots and waste places of the congeSted
communities.
The men and women of American
cities, joining hands with the men and
women of American farms, are quiet
ly and. consistently setting about to
prove that it is not yet possible to
starve the civilized world. much less
America, while soil and rain and sun
shine last.-Mac Lean Libbey in Col
lier's Weekly.

King of the Clouds.
"Hurry up, Nurse Fog, give the Mist

You must help them with that, Nurse

I manage the Mist grandchildren and
the way I look after my business.
When I get to work people can't see
far. They say, Isn't the fog terrible
this morning? We can hardly see
across the street.
"Yes, 1 like to do my work well. 1t
gives me a great deal Of pleasure. And
it makes no difference whether the
earth people can see or not when
there is a fog, though l really am glad
they can't, when I can see perfectly.
It's so easy when one is the fog one

happy. Only the King of the Clouds
and his friends would have known
though that Nurse Fog a so happy
for the others could not have seen her.
But the King Of the Clouds was wear
ing his magic fog glasses which make
the fog quite clear to him. Imagine a
fog being clear to anyone! 1t shows
how magic are his glasses!
"Go on, little grandchildren, do just
as your good old Nurse Fog suggests
every time. We've had her in the fam
lily always and we're not going to lose
her, so mind her, grandchildren, mind
her" the King Of the Clouds said.
"And do more work, rain-drops," he
continued. Eyes, all Of you work and

Just then some people down on the
earth looked out of their windows and
said, as the rain-drops spattered right
on their heads:
"Oh dear, the rain still keeps up,
doesn't it,"
Well, wasn't the King of the Clouds
mad then!

fine army, my mist grandchildren
And they all spattered and said, "We

"Then just punish them for that
the King Of the Clouds said. "That's
q pretty thing to say about my work.
Just twisting it all upside down-up-
side down." he muttered GROSSLY.
"Why did that make you so angry"
asked the army of rain-drops. Aren't
you used by this time to hearing such
things from the earth people? We
thought it didn't make you angry any

"You don't understand" said the
King of the Clouds. "You don't real

CUTTING BACK OF BRANCHES
Prevents Trees From Growing Too
Tall, Condition Making 1t Hard
to Gather Fruit

(From the United States Department Of
~Agriculture.)
Frequent cutting back Of the branch
es of the tree while it is young pre-
vents the long, bare branches which
are so characteristic of old orchard
trees. It also prevents the tree from
growing too tall-a condition which
makes it difficult to gather the fruit or
to spray the tree. With the low-headed
trees less propping is necessary than
with trees having long framework
branches. The load Of fruit is carried
nearer the trunk, and the main struc-
tural branches being larger in pro-
portion to their length are therefore
better able to carry any load or frult
which the tree may develop.

Public Health Too Much Neglected.

Public health work in this country
is still in its infancy. All tests applied
showed the health departments in the
smaller cities to be weaker than those
in the larger cities. Perhaps the most
surprising finding is that the Southern
and Pacific cities have better devel-
oped municipal health departments
than the Northern cities from the
Rockies to the Atlantic. The Central
Northern cities stand at the foot Of
the list. \ recent report concludes
that the appropriations granted most
health departments in this country
are grossly inadequate for the new
functions modern science requires
them to perform. 1t is stated that
health departments should be allowed
a minimum wage" of 80 cents per in
habitant per year, as compared with
the present average allowance OF y
cents.-Government Bulletin.

Knowing What You Want

The girl who always knew what she
wanted would be too wise for her
years. Often when she is surest IT
she were left to follow her own path
it would mean bitter disappointment.
1t is we'll for q girl if she has faith
enough in those who have her welfare
at heart, to believe what seems rather
hard on the face of it, that they know
what she wants better than she knows
herself.-Girl's Companion.
