Big Causes of Loss
In Stock Shipments

Heavy losses resulting each sum

caused largely by improper methods
Of handling the animals at shipping
points. marketing specialists at the
College Of Agriculture say. Any
thing which adds to the comfort Of
animals IN transit diminishes the
danger Of losses. their suggetions on
shipping point out.
Before having animals placed in
them, cars should be cleaned careful
~ and bedded with sand or some 9th
er similar bedding, the use Of these
being preferable to straw, sawdust
and shavings." ID. G. Card. one of the
specialists said. stock will reach

Many volumes could be filed with photographs
of frst-class scenery in these national parks. The
photographs reproduced herewith were selected
for these reasons: Yellowstone is the oldest, larg.
est and best known of our national parks. Rocky
Mountain Is the most popular. Grand Canyon is
the greatest natural wonder in the world. Lafay-
cite is the only national park east of the Missis-
sippi. Zion is the newest of our nineteen. The
remaining picture. a scene on the way to Rocky
Mountain, is typical of the American people at
play in the national parks.

bered 1,O07, 335 the private automobiles numbered
175S25. Rocky Mountain led with 273. 1877 visf-

ond with 130,96S visitors. Yosemite was third with

Kansas CITY an Object Lesson.

residence district is uncommonly hand
some, and it possesses an exceptional
art museum, writes Nina Wilcox Put
nam in the Saturday Evening Post.
Kansas City is an object lesson In
home building, and the average east
erner will be astounded at the uni
form beauty of it's residence develop
ments and the interesting manner in
which areas are restricted to a given
type of architecture.
The plan upon which Its ~boulevards

planting of the parkways that border
them will bring joy to the garden
lover and the tree worshiper.

LEARN VALUE OF SHRUBBERY
Matter Has Been Too Long Neglected,
but Its Worth Is Beginning to
Be Appreciated.

1T is only comparatively recently in
America that we have discovered
%shrubbery and how to use it. Not
many years ago people used to deal
in individual shrubs. One shrub on
each side of the gate was thought
plenty. Occasionally a little clump
was set gu, in the middle of the lawn.
But when home makers began to ex-
pertinent with masses of shrubs, when
they began to frame their houses in
forsythia and wigelia and spirea and
rambler roses and honeysuckle, they
found they had made d transformation.
The whole appearance Of the place
was changed. A house that otherwise
might be commonplace, in a proper set
ting of foliage and blossoms proved
wholly charming and lovely.
Necessarily with the %shrubbery came
trees, both in he parking outside and
within the yard. Trees for a back
ground, for protection from the sun
in summer. and for the delicate tracery
of branches in winter, for the wonder
full play Of lights and shadows-trees
there must be.
Most cities have plenty of object
lessons in the effect of massed shrub
berry and trees. 1t would pay any per-
son interested in the appearance of
his home to wander tomorrow through
the residence districts where shrub
berry and trees are growing in profu-
sion, just to contrast them with dis
tricts where foliage has been neg
1t is wonderful how defects in archi-
can be made to disappear By
the proper handling of the masses of
green nature has put at mans dis
posal.

GET THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT
Excellent Results Follow the Getting
Together of Organizations for
Civic Betterment.

Recently quite a good-sized company
shore to attend the summer meeting of
the Maryland State Horticultural So
| ciety, with visitors from the Mary
land Forestry association, the Flor
lists and Gardeners club of Balti-
more, the Peninsula Horticultural so
ciety and the Maryland Agricultural
society and affiliated organizations
a pretty comprehensive representation
of rural Maryland.
In Easton the local federated farm
ers, the Rotary club, the Mems Com
munity club and other societies got
together on the program of entertain
ment, modified the automobiles and
arranged plenty of shelter and food.
Other towns were moved to supple
ment Easton's leadership.
The point we call attention to here
is the evidence the trip affords to
the growth of the inter-community
spirit. Rural Maryland caught it dur
ing the war. and it did great good.
After the armistice there was d lull,
but last year the farmers and the
city men got together in a meeting
held in Baltimore and the mutual
feeling was revived and set in motion.
We now see it at work in the summer
meetings of the farmers and their
various organizations. The value of
1t is indisputable. 1t brings our peo-
pie into better acquaintance; If exalts
the state spirit; it makes f )appi-
ness and good fellowship. A n the
end it leads to better methods and
better results On the farms and in
the orchards, all of which is reflected
in more prosperity in the towns.-Bal-

) John Golfer, one of their men, turned back be-

Jim Bridger, one of Gen. William Fl. AshIev,s
3ieutenants in the Rocky Mountain Fur comnonv
rediscovered the Yellowstone in 1927. Bridger w n
las good a mountaineer, plainsman and guide as
this country ever saw. But he was a practicol
joker along the line of monumental Iies-he w

been Western classics for nearly a century. So

sers of the Yellowstone. Nobody would believe
them. In 1869 the semi-official Washburn-Lanp
ford expedition from Montana succeeded in get
ting a hearing. But it was not until 1870 that a
special federal government expedition established
the existence of the ellOwston
Thus it took sixty-three years and more than
six discoveries to put the Yellowstone officially
on the map.
Cornelius Hedges-he has deserved well of his
country-September Is, 1870, by a campfire In
the Yellowstone, proposed that the wonderland be
