Beauty Spot Appealed

Years ago a way-station agent Of a
railroad traversing the plains Of the
Canadian Northwest, sent back home
for a few packages Of flower seed and
with such time as he could spare
transformed the surroundings Of his
mean little one-room station. Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy, president Of
the road, was making tour of inspec-
ton and when he reached this little
garden spot in the then uncultivated
wastes, he asked to see the boy and
learned from him the story of his gar
den. AS result, the next year all
the agents of this road-which
stretches from the Atlantic to the
Pacific received packages Of seeds
and instructions to plant flowers
around every station. The custom
then begun has ever since continued.

MANY DEVICES USED
TO EXERCISE BULLS

| frreparsd By the United States Department
Of Agriculturs.)
Many a valuable bull Is rendered
useless by improper care and manage
ment, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The Importance
of exercise Is often underestimated,
and many bulls, after their value has
been proved, are found to be sterile or
slow breeders, due largely to close
confinement and lack Of activity. This
Is more true Of dairy bulls, perhaps,
because of their temperament, which
makes them more difficult to handle.
Regular exercise helps materially to
keep the bull in good condition. Any
method that will make the sluggish
bull take exercise regularly and with
out Overwork Is satisfactory. The
main point is for him to get 1t. In
some countries bulls are yoked like
oxen and used to pull a pillow, to haul
manure, or to do other farm work.
Where there is only one bull, special
hitching arrangements for work on
cart may be made. Thus the bull not
OILY gets his exercise but at the same
time does useful farm work. A tread
mill Is sometimes used, but Is not al
ways satisfactory because the bull
sometimes learns tricks for stopping
the machine and needs to be watched.
A pen large and roomy enough for
exercising may be all that is needed
for some bulls, but others are lazy
and need to be forced to exercise. A
young bull turned In the lot with an
older one will usually cause the older
one to take his "daily Dozen" The
younger bull will usually be active
enough to keep out Of danger If the
pen Is large enough to prevent his
being cornered. The owner should use
his judgment as to the merits Of this
plan.
Bulls may be induced to exercise |
with an empty barrel or
keg by bunting or rolling 1t around the
pen. The key may be left on the
ground or hung by rope or chain low
enough so the bull can butt 1t with
his head. A block Of wood, with the
removed, will serve the same
purpose. Some bulls spend hours play
ng with contrivances Of this sort,
While others pay little attention to
hem.
When an exercise pen is not avail
lble, 1t Is a common practice to tie the
'ull to ring which slides on a sus-
,ended wire or cable IS to 100 feet
ong and high enough above the bulls
lead to prevent him from getting his
eet over the lead chain, which should
e II to Is feet long. A revolving
weep win give the bull some exercise.
he will use It.

Neuu American Homes
Shov Better Designs

It Is indeed gratifying to note the
tendency of architects and builders to
get away from the uninteresting, box
like houses, giving US instead homes
that at least have some semblance OF
architectural merit. While the public
has not yet entirely slgnified its full
appreciation of good architecture, the
newer houses In both the cities and
suburban communities give evidence Of
a leaning toward better design.
American small house architecture
Is steadily mounting to higher levels,
which marks a distinct achievement,
not only in the cultural life of the
people but in the finest qualities of
citizenship.
Good architecture, like good exam
pies Of any other art, Is eternally good.
1t Is In no way dependent upon chang
ing fancies. The surface currents of
public disapproval cannot long persist
against the truth that Is Inherent In
good architecture. There were periods
when types Of Colonial architecture, If
not in public disfavor, were at least
but because they meas
ured up to the best standard Of the art
they have always commanded the ap-
proval of the discerning and have
never been more strongly intrenched
In public favor than today.
