COVERED BARNYARD.
Comfortable For tbe Com In Sum

We find that a covered barnyard
Suits us wonderfully well. We made It
la a cheap way. We set posts in the
ground three feet deep and eight feet
above ground,- set them so as to make
a shed 30 by 40 feet, and laid poles on
top for plates and rails across, on top
of which Is the straw stack. All
around the outside Is sided up with
boards, except openings for doors, and
one opening which is open all the time
and Is four feet wide.
We have the permanent opening
next the barn, so that the wind will not
blow iu. We also have two stalls in
side of the shed to use when needed.

about four feet apart to admit of easy
cultivation, and the cuttings should be
set very firmly in the soil so as to leave
no air spaces about them and set deep
enough so only the uppermost bud is
above the ground. They should then be
given clean cultivation and hoed to
keep down all weeds during the sum

of plants will be secured.

THE "YELLING PERIL."
Prominent Bledlcal Journal Sngrseata
a Crusade A rain it Nolae.
. The yelling perU is the new title for
tho street noises against which the
medical profession has been protesting
for a generation or more, according to
an editorial utterance of American
Medicine. The matter has recently
been discussed by the Lancet in an edi
torial which calls attention to tbe harm
done to the sick by avoidable noises,
particularly at night. Attention is call
ed to the pandemonium of sounds In
American cities. Yet it is not at all
certain that this is the main cause of
the nervousness and dyspepsia which
are assumed to be so common among
Americans, though neurologists recog
nize it as one cause of nervous break
down. Modern transportation has introduced
an awful nuisance of this uatarc, which
seems Irremediable, though inventors
are constantly at work to reduce it to
a minimum. Boys are naturally noisy
and must net like barbarians now and
thou to blow oil' steam on holiday
nights and when their football team
has artistically done up the enemy, but
there is no reason why night should be
made hideous at other times.. By all
means let the crusade continue, for it
might be the means of saving many a
I life in the balance when a few hours'
; quiet sleep would turn the scale. It is
a matter which American Medicine
thinks the American Civic association
I can take up among ils other numerous
I good works. It is more than a nuisance
j it is destructive of nerve tone and a
j menace to health, so that physicians
j can justly aid in the effort to abate the
! evil.
BEAUTIFYING A STATION.
How
VUlaee Depot Can Be Made
Attractive.
Coming into the suburban village by
the steam railroad, one's introduction
to it is the station. This should be
made utraciive both in its architecture
and In its' gardening surroundings, but
,e emphasized. In n suburb, at any
rate, direct ways of 'ommunicatlon
from various parts of the town should
focus to the station, but the ideal would
be to have them center in the con
course radiant with flowering shrubs
behind a bank of which the little sta
tion would le half hidde n.

IDENTIFYING PARK TREES.
Forest Servlt-e Ready to Oo.opers.te
With Tawaa In Correct Naming.
To aid iu disseminating accurate
knowledge of tree species and their
habitats the forest service is now of-
fering co-operation to towns and cities
iu Uie Mentifleatlon of their park and
street trees, says the New York Tost's
Washington correspondent. Not to
speak of the Kcuernl lack of precise
knowledge as to the common names of
many trees, there is no very close ap
proach to uniformity in the use of
names where attempts. have been made
in towns and cities to name trees for
the instruction of the public. In a few
cases more confusion than enlighten
ment has resulted from such ajtempts.
The plan which lias been takcb up of
fers the correct identification cf parte
and street trees where the town or city,
desires to label them. In this wey both
the correct common names and t) e true
sclentl3c names will be giver, wide,
uniform usage.
Towas and cities desirous of p- -jilting
by thi co-operative plan may apply to
the forest service either for tli serv-
ices of au expert on the ground where
the undertaker is a large one or, in
the case of smaller projects, foe identi
fication by correspondence. Iu the lat
ter case numbered specimens of the
trees and a plat showing their Ideation
should be sent.
Be iioral to Your Own Town.
The Inordinate love of the dollar too
often uiukes men unpatriotic and dis
loyal to the town nud community in
which they live, says the Iowa State
Itegister and Farmer. To save a little
they will send away from home for
supplies, refuse a dollar toward public
improvements in their own town, belit-
tie and degrade home enterprise and
yet be vhe first to advance the price of
their property as a result of the pa
tient, self sacrificing work of others.
Loyalty to your own town is Just as
commendable a ty;:e of patriotism as
one can find, and, uo matter how much
your patriotism boils over on the
Fourth of July in a general way. If you
are disloyal iu little things to your own
town you r.: e a poor citizen or the re
public. Yoii are like him who makes
