NEW YORK FACING PROBLEM Proper Housing Conditions for Its In crossing Population Bs«m to Be ■ Thing of the Future. To'sum up, a million and a quarter of souls, or more than one-third of the tenement house population that was • steeped »ln the environment which made for all unrighteousness, have been housed decenely and safely, and the rest will be. Have we, then, solved, the housing problem In New York? No, we have not. We have not real ized the ideal of the little house with cheap rent, and we never -shall real ize it Instead, rents have risen, and are rising yet We have not less crowding, but more. We know now that the cliff dweller in New York has come to stay, at leaat in the old city. The problem now is how to bar the cliff dweller from crossing the bridges Into the New York of the future. Since the point of saturation was reached In the crowded region south of Fourtenth street and the exodus thence began, the tenement builder has been busy In the boroughs. It is easy to foresee that the time may come when the conditions of Manhat tan will be reproduced in the newer regions, without the defense of Man hattan that It is pent between two rivers. How to prevent this Is the nightmare of social reformers of con gestion committees. Like men fight ing a lire we must get In front of It A stern chase Is a vain chase In deal ing with this trouble. Can we hold our ground (here? The answer applies to every grow ing city: .We can, If we begin at the beginning. Clty-jlannlng is New York's remedy^—Jacob A.

A suggestion regarding wages, made In the Civic Federation's report on working conditions In department stores, Is of special Interest It Is that employers pay the fare of employes living in the suburbs. This Is done to some extent In Bngland. The plan la easentlally one for rais ing the sumdard of living among lta beneficiaries. But it is more than this. It Is a subsidy foi efficiency, if you care to put it that way. What tbe employer spent for thla purpose he and his customers would receive again In the form of better service, even without any reduction in hours. In addition, the report polnta out that a better claas of employes could be ob tained, since they could be found among persons already living in the outskirts of the city. But all other consideration yield to the meaning of such an arrangement for pie Uvea of those concerned. One manager In Philadelphia la reported as intending to try the plan. Town Planning In Unlvsasltlss. At the International congress of town planning held at Ghent laat sum mer, M. Jules Brunfarst, architect of Bruasels, and member of the Royal Academy of Belgium, communicated a report on the value of univeraitles, academies add schools of art establish ing definite courses of Instruction in town planning under lta-dual aspect of technique and esthetic. He gave It aa his opinion, which waa generally ln dorsed, that all architects, engineers and people Intrusted with the adminis tration of public worka, both for gov ernment districts and towns, should be required to have followed a course of Inst ruction In civic deeign and to hold a diploma for It This, of course, wss making a very bold claim for educa tional work In tbe subject but thsre can be no doubt that sooner or later It will be looked upon as a part of the necessary equipment of tbe municipal constructor and engineer. Vscsnt Lot Gsrdsnlng. Vacant lot gardens in the lsrge cities of America represent a form of practi cal philanthropy that is attracting fa vorable attention throughout the coun try. In Philadelphia, acoordlng to the laat annual report of the*Phlladelphla Vacant Lota Cultivation association, tbe land la lent free of cbsrgn by ths owners. Tbe association apenda about five dollars a garden for plowing, fer tilizer and seed.

FIGHTING ANY DROUTH Dust Mulch Becoming Chief Agent in Insuring Crops. Lack of Knowledge Among Farmers la Cauae of Many Heartrending Fall urea With Treee—Moisture Must Be Conserved. I believe that in a state like that of North Dakota the dust mulch will become the chief agent for Insuring to the farmer and gardener as sure a crop as any aystem of irrigation. The time has not yet conie when the average farmer knows just what the dust mulch la, and, consequently, knows nothing of Its use. Only last July I had this very forcibly brought home to me when, on a hot, dry day a friend of mine happened to remark that It was getting so dry that his boys would not cultivate his corn for fear It might dry out. I took the opportunity to tell him of my con victions In the matter, also to show him my own garden, consisting chief ly of tomatoea, corn and potatoes, writes O. C. Westley of North Dakota in the Northwest Farmstead. This garden I kept well cultivated, not giving weeda a chance to aprout be fore I stirred the soil with a rake or hoe. I showed him, too, some lit tle spots In some portions where the hoe or rake had not yet been after a little sprinkle. I called the attention to the cracks and told him o( tho pores and the work of capillarity un til he was so oonvlnced that he stepped into my house, called up his home, and ordered the boys out with the cultivator at once. This man Is no fool, but tie was simply Ignorant of the (plsslon of the dust mulch. When setting out my tomatoes last spring I gave my neighbor some pf my plants. He set them and they grew. But on came the dry summer. This neighbor had had a hand cart into which be set a barrel and hauled water from my well with which he watered his plants. I never watered mine. As the drouth Increased I in creased the depth of the mulch, un til I "had to get a prong hoe, with which I went to the depth of 5 to # Inches. While I gave away several gallons, canned and ate all we wanted, and sold almost as much, my neighbor had scarcely a tomato. What Is really the chief cause for heartrending failures with trees among the so-called Intelligent farm ers T Is It not merely a lack of knowl edge? It seems to me the matter should be made clear to all readers of all the blessed farm paper* of today that the dtnt mulch is a means for conserving the moisture already In the ground, and also tpr increasing the capacity of the soil for receiving moisture when It rains. If the ground is naturally hard the roots of plants have a hard time to generate, and It stands to reason that such soils are benefited by deep cultivation. The very fact that a soil Is bard indicates a lack of moisture. Take a sugar loaf and dip It into colored water, noting how quickly It is saturated, showing the capillarity of a pressed together article. A lump of hard dirt might be used Instead of tbe sugar, only the augar shows llt better. Put on top of this sugar ; loaf a little powdered sugar and note how much longer It takes the mois ture to work up through It. You might understand this, but the aver age tlllera of the soil do not' We cultivate corn and potatoes, why not wheat? Not In the same way, of course, but the drag should be used at least once a week on all grain | crops until they are too high to be benefited, or, rather, until tall enough to be injured by a good weeder. This will break up the cracka and pores and give to the whole aurface that vital dust mulch. How would you be able to cover a field of 300 or 400 acres with a straw, peat or manure mulch? It would be an Impossible taak for want of help, to say nothing of' its useleesness, when with s good, wide weeder and two horses you can do the same thing practically In four or five daya. With all the saturation of soils through a good, ordinary spring, coupled with a judicious uss of ths dust mulch, I believe North Dakota or any other state may defy any drouth. "Dry Farming."

RULTEY PROFITS FROM THE CHICKENS No Place Where Business Can Be Made 8o Profitable aa When Con ducted as B!ds Line on Farm. Specialized poultry farms are be coming more numerous each year. In many case* these are paying good re turns on the money Invested, but their effect on the supply of eggs and poultry for our large markets is but aa a drop In the ocean. It Is for tho small flocka of 60 to 300.fowls upon the farms as a side line that we must depend for our supply of poultry prod ucts In the future as In the past, writes Prof. P. G. Holden in the Farm and Home Poultry Annual. No other branch of agrioulture la represented on so many farms. The census for 1910 shows that 88 per cent, of all farms reported keeping poultry. In no case can the business be made so profitable as where It Is con ducted as a side line of general farm ing. It is possible b> allow chickens to range through many crops that are grown on the farm without damage to the crops and by such practice secure double returns from the same piece of land. ' ' Orchards or corn fields are Ideal for this purpose and if the presence of the chickens in them is beneficial rather than detrimental, as they will destroy Prize-Winning White Leghorna. large numbers of Insects injurious to the crops. Tbe movable colony house Which is rapidly coming into general use on the farm makea it possible to scatter tbe chickens out over the fields. This method la especially valuable for handling the young stock, aa It gives freedom to tbe birds. The re sult will be stronger more vigorous birds. By moving the house close to the fields where small grains have been harvested the birds are able to turn Into profitable gains the shelled grain and scattered heads which re main on the field. CLJOVER HAY FOR CHICKENS Fowls Will Be Kept In Better Laying Condition and Production of Egga Increased. (By J. F. BHUREMAN, United States Department of Apiculture.) There Is nothing better than well cured clover grown or second growth clover hay for chickens. This should be cut up fine and steamed. Aside from slfalfa there is no other food that can take the place of clover. By allowing a ration of scalded clover to hens they will keep In better laying condition and tbe production of eggs will be Increased. Where clover hay cannot be secured bran is a very good aubstltuts, though not so rich in min ors! matter. Vegetable food, such aa cabbage, po tatoes, beets and turnips, should be supplied the year arouad. MM MM j Cabbage makes a good green food for ducks in wiater. see Hens lay a few mors eggs when males are aot used in tbe pens with them. see Egg production Is not measured so much by the quantity aa by tbe qual ity of the food. e ee A light morning feed for the flock la best because It keeps them bustling through tbs day. e e • Quarrelsome male birds la a flock not only worry each other, but keep the whole flock (a a turmoil. • e e That heas trust be fad aad (ed lib erally If one expects egge in large quantise, especially winter egga. • e e The smaller tbs quarters ths great er ths care necessary In order to keep the ben bouses clean and sanitary, a • • It la poor policy to change the quar ters of bens or pullets while laying, for It usually checks or stops egg pro duction. s e e e It ie claimed by those who hsvs tried It. thst a cross of Muscovy drake on Fekia ducks will produce sterile . progeny.

Hord, near Central City, Neb., gave a yield this year of almost 50 bushels an acre. Most of the corn on this place will yield 35 bushels, and there Is little that will return less than 25 bushels. The principal reasons for these good yields were deep plowing and thorough cultivation, says the Nebraska Farm Journal. The seed corn had been care fully aelected, also, so there was a good stand and the plans were vigor ous. The soil on which this corn was grown was in the Platte valley. It consist mostly of san4y-loam land for the upper two or three feet, with a clay-loam sub-soli. It Is not uniform, however. There are patches of gumbo, and other places where the top soil Is large sand. There la a good underflow from the river that has helped some what, but there are many fields that were on land like that on the Hord farm that did not produce any grain. "Deep plowing Is essential for corn growing In this country," said William Miller, who cultivated the highest yielding field for Mr. Hord. "One should plow at least nine Inchea deep In most esses, and never less than eight Inehes on any of this land. "One ought to plow all the land In the fall and early winter If possible. Deep cultivation will encourage the formation of available plant food and will kill Insects. "Deep plowing gives a seedbed that will hold moisture better than a shal low seedbed. It allows space for the proper development of the upper corn roots." No corn Is planted on the Hord farm befov i May 10, no matter What the season. GARDEN WITH LITTLE WATER Vegetables Should Be Well Grown Be fore Hotteet Month*—Sweet Corn Should Be Main Standby. I Where tho supply of water for the garden Is small we should try to crop so aa to have the largest quantity of vegetables well grown before July and 1 August and then plant for fall growth, ; which will draw only moderately OK our supply during the hotteet months. Perhapa sweet corn should be our main standby during hot weather for It la drought resistant and a good food to work on as well aa a delicacy that suits slmost every one In bot weatber. » Unleaa one haa plenty of water or ' ground underlaid with it, cabbagea > ahould perhapa be left out and perhapa • oelery substituted, which maturea late • and can be lnterplanted In beans or some such crop for early shade. The ' bean furniahea lots of food with a mod ■ erate water aupply, which cannot be said for the big, luscious, late peas, de i slrable aa they are. Our early peas ' have, however, been very much In > proved, and these and medium eaily 1 will grow with moderate watering. Btg 1 peaa planted eaat and weat will ahade ' the ground between them, and In this ! way they can be made useful for start ing crops. Squash and pumpkins are a ; delight to the eye and are not much la lured by furnishing only a moderate supply of water that holds their ex uberance In check. They seem to de i well near the compaot heap, where the ground has been well wetted and to , search out the molature under vacant placea. They are mighty handy In . hiding fences, old coops and such t things as are unsightly but icdls- I pepsable. . •! Indians Try Dry Farming.
