HwneTown CALLED NATION'S MODEL CiTY High Distinction That, by General Con sent, Seems to Have Been Won by Marysville, Mich. Thirty miles north of Detroit lies what is known as the “model city of America,” says a Detroit telegram to the St. Louis I'ost-Dlspatch. It is Marysville, owned entirely by a devel opment company. The model city is i masked by clean private homes, weil ptved streets, little wealth and a con tented community, where strikes are | unknown. Marysville was a struggling corn : niunlty of some few hundred souls wln*ii the Marysville Land Develop ment company was formed. The com j puny proceeded to buy up the entire ; town, factory sites were then sold to : other concerns and homes were sold to the workers at “a reasonable price.” To those who did not cure to buy, suit | able hotel and hoarding-house accotu : inodntions were provided. There Is no polities in this little city ;of .’IO,OOO population. The principal property holders each year hire a city j manager to run the place on the corn | mission form of government. The city’s | school system is not surpassed by any j in America. Educators were brought i from some of the largest cities in the country and told to provide the best. Dance balls, movie theaters and steam j lioat companies were granted conces sions under the city government. Taxes are low, as the upkeep of the town is practically paid for largely by i (be manufacturers. MAKE THE PARK PRACTICAL I ! Cr.re and Thought Bestowed on Recre ation Ground Will Be Found Thoroughly Worth While. The recreational value of our public | parks Is, of course, a scientifically practical value, l'lay is essential to | lhe health and success of a nation, j | Any form of play Is beneficial. Any I j recreation which calls into use brain | ! renters which are not used in ouf j serious routine work is improving. , Even the least healthful forms of play, recreations which do not tend to help [ our physical well-being, have a certain ; value in that they rest the over-worked part of our brains and thus tend to save us from neuroses and nervous j breakdowns. The best form of reerea | thin, however, is that which takes us Into the open air, provides wholesome ! exercise, and aids brain and fiiody at I the same time. For city residents the | parks supply an ample field for recrea j tion of this kind.

The “City Practical." “Never use the word ‘city beautiful’ when you are trying to sell a city plan to your city or community," advises u real estate expert. “Use ‘city practi cal and city efficient, ’ for out of the practical city will come the beautiful city. There has been a wrong Impres sion that city planning is nothing more or less than the embellishment and beautification of the city, whereas it Is the lopping off of the unnecessary things; It is cutting down to the prac tical things that makes It responsive to every call that Is put upon It; and out of that order, out of that very rhythm of movement, out of the ability to do the things placed upon It, will come ‘the city beautiful.’ ’’ How Town “Grows." A tiOvu thrives the best and accom plishes the most when it grows. It I {rows when its citizens grow. Its clt Izens grow when they have ndnd-pow »r and soul-power. True growth means making today better than yesterday, omorrow better than today. Growth means changing ourselves to conform to outward circumstances. Growth ts finding ourselves, getting rid of short : comings and utilizing what is really worth the effort. Hedge for the Corner Lot. For a eorner lot a hedge is excellent.

HENS THAT DO NOT .MOLT UNTIL LATE ARE BEST EGG PRODUCERS I ' cL 'W \ ' / :4. • „ u——i ✓ V * ... v r v rs ? r V‘j ■ '*iiW<m*'• *«W»»wrtWi «' - - ... * The Best Layers of the Flock and Those That Should Be Kept for Breed ers Do Not Molt Until November. f Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Hens that devote too rr/ueh attention early in the season to the fall styles in feathers are not the kind that please the tloek owner. It costs too much to support them and they demand too lon a: a vacation period. Hut the hen that wears her old clothes until autumn has almost passed is the best of the Hock, for she has kept on lay i ing since the previous fall or winter So now when you see a bird that looks shabbier than the others, do not con clude that she is of the no-account kind and that her smartly dressed sisters are the ones to keep. Take Short Vacation, of course some of the hens that molted earlier, say in August and Sep tember, are. profitable enough to keep, hut tlie cream of the flock is made up of liens that do not change their feathers until October or November. Their molting will require only a few weeks and they will probably be laying again by the Ist of January. The poor ones, the early-molting loafers, will not begin until about this time, even though they have been resting since the middle of the summer. It takes one about two months and the other twice that long to get back into production. The poultry keeper who has an eye for business will not neglect tlds worn looking late layer, for she Is the best profit maker he has. She needs a highly nutritious ration if she is to be In the best condition to start on another year of idgii production. When she quits laying and starts to molt she has as much need for a ration strong in protein as she has when she is shelling out the eggs, as feathers are highly nitrogenous in their makeup. They use the materials supplied by beef scrap, gluten feed, and oil meal. The oil meal Is very effective in keep- I ing the feathers in a healthy condition. Hens that lay eggs late in the fall and in the winter are really producing an out-of-season crop, for it is normal for the hen to lay for a time in the spring and early summer and rest for the remainder of the year. Profitable hens are really' those that have the capacity to force their egg-making machinery', hut they must have the right sort of feed with which to do it. That means feeding well-balanced ra tions designed for the particular class, atid sometimes for the particular breed. A balanced ration is a combina tion of feeds which furnish just the necessary amount of nutrients to pro duce the highest and most economical egg yields. The amount of feed needed to produce a dozen eggs varies with j the kind of birds. According to ex ! perunents conducted by the United I .States Department of Agriculture j general-purpose pullets produced a J | dozen eggs from fI.T pounds of feed, j ! and Leghorn pullets laid the same j j number from 4.8 pounds. Simple mixtures are usually the j most desirable. As the fall advances j and the days grow shorter the birds ; should be encouraged to put away as I much feed as possible during the day I so that their bodies will have plenty to work on for all of the 24 hours. A good handful of scratch grain for each bird at night will fill the crop. It Is not desirable that the hens he made to work very hard for this feed. Be sure that the hens go to roost with a fall crop. In making up rations it is necessary to adhere to standards within certain limits, hut some feeds may be sub stituted for others, as barley, wheat, and oats for corn. However, meat scrap and other animal-protein feeds can not be replaced by high-vegetable protein feeds. All changes should be made gradually, as sudden changes may decrease egg production. A great many poultry-men and live stock feeders now believe that If tlie animal has a free choice it will select the ration that Is most suitnble. At the government farm at Beltsvllle, Mil., the following mash was made up by keeping account of the amounts of the different feeds a laying flock con sumed : Samples of Balanced Rations. Mash. Scratch Mixture. 16 lbs corn meal 1 lt>. cracked corn SVtt lbs. meat scrap 1 lb. wheat 1 lb. bran 1 lb. oats 1 lb. middlings Here is a simple ration that has I liven very good results with Leghorns, [ Hut that has proved too .fattening for | Rocks and Wyandottes. Meat scrap. It will be seen, makes up over 25 per cent of the mash. Mash Scratch Mixture. I lbs. corn meal 2 lbs. cracked corn i lb. meat scrap t lb. oats For birds that are made too fat by the preceding ration, the following, containing only 1G per cent of meat *crao but having considerable pro- tein in otfier feeds, has been found a good one. Mash. Scratch Mixture. 1 lb. corn meal 2 lbs. cracked corn 1 lb. bran l lb. wheat ' 1 lb. meat scrap 1 lb. oats 1 lb. middlings 1 lb. barley 1 lb. ground oats Poultry-men resort to every possible means to get their liens to eat a great deal of feed, especially in the winter when the days are short. One way is to cut the morning scratch fetnl to about half. The hungry bird then goes to the mash trough and gorges on the dry mash. Then to increase the consumption of mash some of it is fed wet at noon and the hens will eat it when they would take no more of it dry. DARKENED CELLAR IS URGED FOR POTATOES Exposure to Light Quickly Injures Quality of Tuber. Temperature Best Suited for Proper Preservation Is One Ranging From 32 to 45 Degrees — Large Piles Are Not Favored. Tlie object of storing any product is to preserve its quality during as long a period as may be necessary or possible in order to permit its dis posal at the most advantageous time. Investigations by the bureau of plant industry. United States Department of Agriculture, show that the temper i ature best suited to the proper pres- I ervation of potatoes is one ranging from 32 to 45 degrees. In regions I where tlie powdery dry rot occurs a j temperature of 33 to 30 degrees holds I tlie disease in check better than a I higher one. It is found best not to store pota- ! toes in large piles when they are moist j or covered with moist earth, as they J quickly develop sufficient heat to in- I jure tlie vitality of the tubers. If : through unfavorable weather eondi- j firms it becomes necessary to store ' potatoes when they are wet and dirty, i they should be spread out in a thin j layer until they have become dry, I after which they may lie piled up. It | is not desirable to store potatoes to a j greater depth than six feet. Potatoes intended for table use \ should always be stored in a dark- j ened cellar or storage house. Ex posure to light quickly injures the quality of tlie potato for food pur- ! poses. I SMALL HOUSE FOR CHICKENS New Lumber Will Make Best Appear, j arce, but Packing Boxes Will Answer Purpose Well. In building a poultry house, new lumber will of course make the best appearing 'structure and will also he j somewhat easier to work up because j it can be bought in lengths most advantageous for the purpose. Houses j for a few hens can sometimes be constructed from packing boxes, while j used material or second-hand lumber, | if it can be purchased cheaply and ! is close at hand, will sometimes lower j the cost of the kouse materially. Occasionally, also, where a high board fence is available, the house can be built in tlie corner of the fence, thus saving the construction of the back and one side of the house. Care must he used to cover or batten the cracks, either by means of strips or by tlie use of roofing paper. Construct the building so that the front of your henhouse will admit tlie sunlight.

CEMENT FLOOR FOR FEEDING Farmer Should Remember to Give Slope to One Side to Insure Necessary Drainage. Farmers who build cement feeding I floors should remember to give the floor a good slope to one side. This ; I insures good drainage, facilitates i cleaning and makes it possible for the ' feeding floor to completely fulfill its ] function of providing a clean place to j feed hogs. Some farmers have so lo cated these floors as to get a large amount of rainwater from roofs of nearby buildings, which flushes the floor after each rainstorm atid helps materially to keep them clean ams sanitary ANOTHER WOMAN ESCAPES Mrs. McCumber Avoided a Serious Operation by Taking Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound in Time Georgetown, 111. —“After my first baby was born I suffered so with my left side that I could BilMiliJli! not v, ' a *‘ c across the oor un ' esa i was '-mi humped over, hold mm W ing to m7 side.
