Atmosphere in gardens is that indie
Unable something which, like many
other forms of beauty, is founded on
we'll known laws. The principles of
garden design and construction are as
definite for the landcape architect as
the laws of harmony are for the COM
poser of music.
If you are making a garden in
cool, quiet shady spot, perhaps with
pool or slowly running brook. do
you not think of quiet, restful colors,
with green shades predominating, pos
sibly with a single color note of deep
yellow or orange?
And does not a garden with phlox,
peonies. in their pure white, pink or
red colors, in beds with box edgings,
the colors and flowers laid in deli
cate pattern, recall the old-fashioned
garden atmosphere so much desired in
our modern days? The blue shades of
tall, stately larkspur, intermingled
with pink or white lilies, orange and
yellow daylilies and other flowers of
brilliant color in masses suggests a
garden covering a large area.
Pretty color schemes can be worked
out readily, but always one must re-
member that a garden also means
such practical things as locations, eX-
posture, soil, preparation and climatic
conditions. These are the real factors

Baltimore Board Wants Publication
OF All Assessments on Real Estate

BALTIMORE, July adjudication
Of all real estate assessments in the
city Is being advocated by the Real
Estate Board Of Baltimore.
The publication of tax assessments,
it says. would tend to make for uni
form and equitable assessments, dis
courage favoritism and uncover such
errors as may be made. The boards
committee is of the opinion that this
could be done with practically no ex-
pense to the city. If the roll is pub

Garden Atmosphere, Like Other Forms
OfBeauty, Is Based On Well Known Laws

which determine If one can have a
garden. After that the color arrange
ment is quite within reach and can be
readily worked out to suit ones fancy
and taste.
In planning a garden which will
have a distinctive atmosphere the fol
lowing are few of the items to be
considered: The old lines of bedding
out plants in fiat even effects for her
baceous borders are no longer used.
Intermingling of tulip and lily bulbs
with perennials and using ANNALS for
additional color have made possible eff
fects never thought of previously.
Groups, drifts of color masses, can be
arranged in many interesting ways.
The intermingling of plants makes it
possible to have a continued flower
effect throughout the season.
Design and planting are two closely
related subjects. By the strength of
lines. proportion, geometric pattern,
space and composition a garden can
be arranged so that the design domi-
mates the planting. Thus the proper
planting is absolutely essential for the
carrying out of good design.

HUES SHOULD MATCH.
Floor, Walls and Ceiling Should
Correspond.

The ceiling, walls and floor should
be painted the same hue, as far as
possible, the difference being only
that Of brightness. Even the radi-
ators and exposed pipe should be
painted the color Of the immediate
background. That is, If the wall back
of the radiator is painted Alice blue
the radiator should be painted like
wise.
Painting them fraudulent gold,
bronze or silver makes them inharmo-
NOUS with the general color scheme;
and, Furthermore, thus painted they
fail to perform their function prop
erlv because they radiate less heat.
The engineering department of the
University of Michigan and the Insti-
tute of Industrial Research at Wash
ington have proved this to be fact.
In general, we are told by them that
this metallic pigment, which is used
in bronzes, reduces heat transmission

Best Time to Apply Is in
Fall and Early Winter.

Fall and early winter being the best
periods to use whitewash on the farm,
some suggestions as to the best meth
cd of applying coats to outbuildings
and machinery may be timely. This
is the slack period of work on the
farm, and the farmer is given an op-
portunity to dress up his place. AS
whitewash has proved an economical
preservative, 1t plays an important
part on many farms.
Neglect of exposed surfaces is
penny wise and pound foolish" A
few cents may be saved, but a few
cents saved in necessary repairs will
usually cost dollars very soon. When
1t is not practical to use oil paint. ex-
posed surfaces may be protected by
applying a coat of whitewash or cold
water lime paint.
In whitewashing the outside of
buildings, the best results are OBJ
tained when the work is done in clear,
dry weather. The surface to be treat

Store Potatoes in Dark,
Reasonably Cool Cellar

Keep potatoes in the dark, reason
ably dry, and above freezing tempera-
ture, whether they are to be sold soon
after harvest or stored for winter.
Carelessness in exposing the crop
to sunlight for several days results In
a greening. This is accompanied by
the development of a disagreeable and
mildly poisonous solanin. To prevent
this, potatoes should be covered or
moved to dark storage as soon as
possible after digging.
When this precaution to prevent
greening is taken by moving the po-
tatOes to storage or covering them
with straw, the accumulation of mois-
ture may seem serious, as potatoes
normally give off moisture, or, sweat,
after digging. This sweating is usual
ly more disagreeable than dangerous.
If the tubers are sound and free from
injuries when stored, the moisture
rarely leads to rotting.
Removing the excess moisture by
ventilation will prevent moisture
stains and the crop will be more at
tractive when removed from storage.
Although the temperature is not i'm
portant in the fall, it becomes very
important when the crop is held
through the winter. The temperature
in storage should be between SO and
40 degrees by the middle of December.
If the temperature is above 40 degrees
after the middle of December, the po-
tatoes will sprout and the shrinkage
may be serious.

Splendid Job for Rainy
Davs Is to Repair Now

A good job for rainy days is to put
the floor of the hay NOW in good con-
dition. Any barn should have a good
tight floor under the hay, not only for
reasons of safety but to prevent hay
seed and litter from falling down upon
the live stock below.
An inspection should be made of the
joists and other NOW floor supports to
see that they are holding up properly.
If any undue strain is noticeable any,
where, take steps to see that the con-
dition is remedied. If the floor is
broken or has opened up as a result
Of heavy loading or dry rot, put in
some new boards.
If there remains a mass of litter,
chaff and seed from the past years
filling, clean it out carefully: throw
it into the poultry yard, letting the
chickens pick 1t over, or spread it
over the pastures and lots, which will
benefit from the seed it contains.

Coal Still Leads in
Production of PotDer

Commercial electricity has been de-
seribed variously as "juice," "blue
magic" bottled lightning" etc. In
the analytical realm of federal sta
tistics, however, 1t rather takes on
the guise of ''lumpless COAL" grease
less OIL" "knotless timber" "dry wa
ter" and "fameless gas"
Coal, water, oil, wood and gas are
the ingredients of electricity or are
the creative sources of it in the pro-
duction of power. In the production
of some eight hundred million horse
power or 1871 100000 kilowatt-hours
in this country, 64.5 per cent of the
energy was generated by the use of
fuels and the remainder by water
power, according to the Department
of the Interior.
OF the fuels, coal was the leader,
producing 80 per cent of the manu-
factured energy; Oil, gas and wood
totaled the remaining 10 per cent.

Small Grain Crops Were
Badly Damaged by Rust

AS everyone knows small grain
crops were badly damaged by rust
this year. Black stem rust of oats
and crown rust of oats have material
ly reduced the yield of late varieties
Early varieties of oats were not near
ly so much affected. although in some
localities they also suffered consider
ably. The wheat crop did not suffer
very much from black rust this year,
but it was Injured considerably by
Leaf rust. The crown rust of oats, the
one which is commonly known as leaf
rust, in one of its stages grows on
buckthOrn, the same as black stem
rust of wheat starts its growth In the
spring on the common barberry. In
sections where the buckthorn Is very
numerous, leaf rust of oats may ne re-
duced by getting rid of this hedge
plant
Some varieties of grain are less re-
sistant to rust than others and an ef-
for should be made to secure vari-
eties that are as rust resistant as DOS
sible.

Credit to Motorists?

The automobile has been responsible
for the development of sturdier and
incidentally smarter race of roosters
and chickens, according to Rich
ard G. Haldeman, president of the
Pennsylvania Motor federation. Halde-
man asserts that the large num-
Der of chickens killed on the roads
during the early days of the automo-
bile age weeded out mentally unfit
roosters and hens" He asserts that
instead of being blamed for the chick
ems which are still killed the motorists
should be thanked, for they are aiding
the farmer in developing a better
grade of fowls.

Find True Value
ofYour Dairy Sires

Is, with cows producing about 4,5OO
pounds of milk and $50 pounds OF but
terfat, increased the production Of the
daughters by more than 60 per cent
In both milk and butterfat.
Slres to Rely On.
Only the best proved sires can be
relied on to increase the production
of daughters over that of dams having
a yearly production of 400 pounds Of
butterfat. The average dairy herd
may double its production in two or
three generations by the use of good
proved dairy sires.
High-producing cows are econom-
ical in the use of feed, say the au-
thors. A tabulation of more than
100000 individual-cow records showed
that the cost of feed for cows produc-
ing 1900 pounds of milk a year per
COW was only about 40 per cent more
than for cows producing but half as
much.

Shift Play Finds True
Supporter in Cavanaugh

Mai. Frank Cavanaugh, noted
Fordham coach, the only man who
stood up boldly in defense or the
shift play at the coaches meeting IN
New York. is not especially well
known to the new football fans, but
the coaches know him and respect
him as one of the greatest original
thinkers in football, man who ranks
with Warner and Dobie as the orig
inator of new strategems. Many
coach has made a reputation by u.s.
ing the stuff Cavanaugh has left be-
hind him.
Cavanaugh's greatest fault has
been a complete freedom from the
sham that d football coach must as
sumo to get on with our more rep
utable educational institutions. He
makes his words and his professions
square with his actions.
He insists that his job is to win
football games and that he plays to
win and this frankness has been used
by his rivals to support rumor that
he goes to unfair extremes to accom-
plish his purpose whereas, in actual
fact, he is far above the shady
tricks practiced by other great men
of the gridiron who preach sports
manship with no other purpose than
to soften the opposition.
Cavanaugh has always taught his
teams to fight and he has taught
them how to fight effectively. He has
made them block hard and tackle
hard and run hard, but he has never
gone an inch with his more sancti-
monious colleagues in showing his
men how to evade the spirit of the
rules.

Records Are Now Being
Used to Determine Real
Worth of Bulls.
prepared by the United States Department

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
Observation-Disclosures
records are now being used to deter
mine the true value of dairy sires as
well as to test cows for economical
production. DR.. ]. C. Mcdowell,
dairy husbandman, and Mr.. w. E.
Wintermeyer, associate dairy hus-
bandman, bureau of dairy industry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, have made an exhaustive study
of the available association records
and have drawn some striking con-
clusions concerning the use of proved
sires in herd improvement.
In Circular No. sc, entitled proved
Dairy Sires," just issued by the de-
partment, the authors discuss the in
fiuence of dairy sires on the produc-
tion of their daughters, comment on
the problem of keeping the bulls un-
til their value has been determined
through the records of their daugh-
tiers, and point out the economy in the
use of feed by high-prOducing cows.
Dairy Sires Proved.
Up to the present time, about 270
dairy bulls have been proved by COM
pairing the records of five or more
daughters of each sire with the rec
ords of the dams of the daughters. A
much larger number of sires has been
partially proved through compari-
son of the records of a smaller num-
Der of daughters with the records of
their dams.
A comparison of 5,217 association
records of daughters with those of
their dams shows gain of SO per
cent in milk production and 81 per
cent in production of butterfat by
the daughters over their dams. This
indicates that the herds in dairy
herd-imprOvement associations are
gradually being improved through the
sires now used, but they might be i'm
proved much more rapidly if intelli-
gently selected proved sires were
used in every herd. For example, the
daughters Of go proved bulls excelled
their dams by 10 per cent in milk
production and 10.9 per cent In but
terfat production. These gains are
about twice as great as those made by
the 5,217 daughters of average asso-
citation sires. In both cases the dams
were about equal in production,
above 500 pounds of milk and
above $50 pounds of fat Sires mated
with cows of average production. that
