The dry powder or dust sprays are Interesting the farmers and fruit grow rs this season, for. their convenience in application as compared to the liquid spray is undoubted. Various prayers and blowguns are on the mnr- kbc wun wnicn to use the powder. The Missouri experiment station has perfected a deflecting nozzle that Is BUST NOZZLB PATTERN FOB OONB. believed to be an Improvement on the ordinary nozzle that distributes the powder In a solid stream. The upper figure of the cut shows a cross section of It. The lower figure represents a pattern for cutting the tin which, when folded, forms the deflective cone (C) of the upper figure. Cut along the dotted lines, and after bending to form a cone solder it to gether, curving the pieces upward. Solder the cone .to the circular piece of tin (D) and connect the whole to the nozzle of the machine by narrow trips of tin (SS), turned edgewise to the opening. This nozzle (N) fits over the "straight nozzle furnished with most spraying machines. In the first figure D Is two and a half times the outside diameter of the nozzle fur nished with the machine. VALUABLE CONIFERS. The Scotch d lulrlu Pines ana the Hed Cedar la Kaaaas. There is no question as to the de sirability of evergreen trees. Whether studied from the standpoint of the landscape artist, of the promoter who wishes to improve property for the increase of value or from the stand point of the stock feeder who realizes that windbreaks save corn, and corn Is money, the evergreens are to be considered as among the most beauti ful and useful trees. The Kansas experiment station has secured best success from settings made Just before growth begins, and clean, thorough cultivation has sufficed for good growth with well established trees. In some seasons, when extreme ly trying weather has closely followed the time of planting, watering has been very beneficial. In all cases when watering is done it should be done thoroughly and the grouud thor oughly soaked and the surface culti vated as soon as the ground Is suffi ciently dry for working. The oldest pines growing on the Kan sas college and experimental station grounds are of mixed plantings of Scotch and Austrian, made in 1872 and 1873. These two pines, the Scotch and the Austrian, seem nearly equal In hardi ness and rate of growth. The choice for setting would depend upon other considerations. The Austrian seems more nearly certain to form straight, regular trunks when planted singly or in small groups, but In larger plantings the Scotch pine is little inferior. The Austrian Is rather darker and heavier In appearance, perhaps too much so for best artistic results in small plant ings. The Scotch pine is more variable, usually of a lighter color and more graceful and less stately In appearance. The red cedar continues to deserve the good opinion in which It has al ways been held. Although at some seasons the foliage is rather too faded and brown to merit the name "ever green" and although some of the trees as they age incline to an open and scraggy growth, yet In general Its ap pearance is such as to make It a wel come addition to any Kansas land scape. Its extreme hardiness when once it is well rooted, Its great beauty as a young tree and its value when grown entitle it to a place In the list of desirable trees. Horticultural New. At the fifth annual meeting of the American Bose society, held lately In Philadelphia, Alexander Montgomery of Natlck, Mass., was elected presi dent, John N. May of Summit, N.

How CI t Ilea of Anderson, lad., Will lacreasa the Towa'a 8 lie. Anderson, the metropolis of middle eastern Indiana, is forging to the front with astonishing rapidity. Scarcely a dozen years ago the town bad but t,000 inhabitants. Now it has 30, 000, and if plans of the Anderson asso ciation are successful the 60,000 mark will be reached In two years. The citizens of Anderson are pro gressive and optimistic. They have faith In the city and have been able to Impress their belief on others. Just now the slogan in Anderson is, "You push the button, and the mer chants will do the rest," says the New York Herald. These buttons are not electrical, but they promise to have an electrical ef fect on the city. The Anderson Mer chants' association is behind the novel scheme. Buttons have been made bearing the inscription "Anderson 60,000," and ev ery man, woman and child In the city will probably be wearing one of them before a month has passed. They sell at $1 each and are furnished by local newspapers without cost to the assocl atlon. An effort Is being made to dis pose of at least 25,000 buttons, from which $25,000 will be realized. This fund will be used in bringing new fac tories to the city as well as In helping those already established. Already there are evidences of but ton fever. Before they were on sale orders cuuie pouring In from all over town. A barber who has a little shop on one of the side streets sent in an order for ten buttons and accompanied his order with $10 to pay for them. "We intend to push this thing until it will be a disgrace for a mnn to walk the streets of Anderson without one of these buttons," said Balph B. Clurk, secretary of the Merchants' associa tion. The locnl newspapers are members of the association and are all working In harmony, the one purpose being to make Anderson the largest and best city In the gas belt. BOUND TO GROW. A Western Town Hn an Enterpris ing Improvement Society. An enterprising village Improvement association in a western towu recently sent out a circular urging every citizen In the community to take a hand In the work of town betterment. The follow-, lug is taken from the circular: "Make some sort of a start on your lawn this spring and do your share toward beautifying the town. If the grass was poor last year plant some seed, and while you are about it plan to raise flowers and vines.- "Many of the back yards in this town are a disgrace to the community and should be immediately looked after. It would take very little time to clean them up, and If seeds were planted they could be transformed into garden spots. "If your sidewalk needs repairing now Is the time to attend to the mat ter. From this time on we' are all go ing in for improvements, and poor side walks must go. "This town is going to be the pret tiest in the county before the summer Is over. Will you do your share to make It so? It will take very little time to clean up your premises, and you will be surprised at what you can do at small expense. Don't let your neighbor get ahead of you in this mat ter. "Our streets are not as tidy and cleaq as they should be, and If we want to be numbered among the en terprising towns we must see to them. All can help In this work by refraining from throwing rubbish on the pave ments, and the children, too, can ren der valuable aid by picking up the waste paper, sticks, etc." A Useful Society. Huntington, N. Y., has an associa tion that is doing much to improve and build up the town. It Is called the Huntington Horticultural and Agricul tural society, and among its members are some of the wealthiest and most progressive residents of Huntington and nearby villages. It was organized solely for the purpose of bettering the local conditions, beautifying and Im proving the public highways and using such influence as it possesses to In duce householders to care for their places with an eye to beauty. The ef fect of the society's work is already to be seen, and its members hope for great things In the future. Street Illumination. The town of Gardner, Mass., Is fol lowing the example of other progress ive municipalities in endeavoring to break away from the antiquated sys tem of lighting residence streets with arc electric lamps hung from twenty to fifty feet above the street, says the Municipal Journal and Engineer. The single lamppost, not over ten feet high and automatic In Its action, Is the ideal lamp for street illumination. It not only lights the sidewalk, but the road as well. Besides, It Is much more eco nomical of the two systems, and there are no ugly poles to disfigure the street nor wires to endanger life. . Towa Trees. Tubllc interest In tree planting in creases as a result of the missionary work done by civic organizations. In formation supplied for taking care of and preserving trees has shown to householders and property owners how they may invest little money In this way and derive lasting benefits of sev eral kinds. It is unnecessary to illus trate these benefits. Every one who has seen a grove or a tree, or' a tree girt avenue, appreciates the advantage! which are obtainable by adding the beauties of nature to the artificial charms of the town. A" town without trees is dull and uninviting. That Tkrubbiug 'Headache Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr.Klng's New Life Pills.

In a bulletin recently issued by the (cpartment of agriculture L. C. Cor bett, horticulturist, contributes the fol lowing article on beautifying the home grounds: The first essential in the adornment of a home area is the formation of a suitable plan. Before a tree or shrub is placed in a permanent location an outline map of the area to be treated should be made. The aim should be to hide by means of trees and shrubbery all objectionable buildings or portions of the place and also to shut from view all unsightly objects maintained by neighbors; to locate the trees and shrubs so as to allow an uninterrupted line of vision where the outlook is pleasing. Where shrubs and trees are needed neither as screens nor windbreaks their disposition should be such as will af ford a pleasing effect and at the same time preserve as large an area of un broken greensward as practicable. All walks and drives on small lots should be direct. The pluntlug of trees and shrubs or the placing of fountains and flagpoles In the course of a walk which will cause the traveler to deviate from his natural course Is a common but objectionable arrangement. A perfect lawn Is one of the rarest possessions of either public or private establishments. A good lawn demands great skill and judgment In its making as well as in Its maintenance. The chief charm of a lawn consists in an even stand of grass of uniform color kept closely mown. For permanence a greensward consisting of a blend of grasses is superior to one made from a single sort. Newly established lawns should nev er be allowed to mature seed. Fre queut clipping with the lawn mower, If not made too close, tends to stimu late the stoollng of the plants rather than to Interfere with their growth. If the lawn Is located in a dry section or one subject to long periods of drought, it will be necessary to Irrigate or. sprinkle. A little water Is an In Jury rather than a- benefit. If watering is begun it should be done at night rather than during the day and suffi cient water given to thoroughly wet the soil. During the winter the new lawn should have a dressing of coarse litter or, If the soli Is poor, of thorough ly composted stable manure. If nei ther of these is available or desirable, a fall dressing of bone meal will be found very useful. In the spring, as growth begins, the lawn should be rak ed with a steel tooth rake, all breaks carefully filled In with turf or seeded and the whole area rolled with a heavy roller. Subsequent treatment will con sist In maintaining the moisture by proper use of water and frequent clip ping with the lawn mower. . The color effects In shrubbery planta tions come from massing sorts so as to produce a floral display each month of the year. The flowers and foliage of spring and summer contrib ute to these results, and autumn colors add a most desirable and valuable con tribution to the season's panorama. The bays of curved walks and drives should be filled with groups of shrubs, so that if there be no natural object for the road to make a curve around the plantation will serve as a substitute for one and in so doing produce one of the highest effects which can be secur ed In landscape gardening. By a Judi cious use of plants In the buys of walks and drives new and unexpected fea tures In the form of vistas, lawn pieces or specimen plants can be brought be fore the observer, thus producing pleas ant surprises and holding his Interest. The planting of bays or the masking of walks and drives Is one of the fine arts in landscape decoration. If care and skill are exercised the interest of the visitor will not be allowed to flag, for at each turn in the road some new beauty will appear. The sense of dis covery is an important one to be grati fied. . Climbing plants meet a demand In tho adornment of a place which can be filled neither by trees nor shrubs. Trees and shrubs can be used to hide unsightly objects from a distance, but vines serve the same purpose as the draperies of a garment. They mnRk by covering unsightly objects. Vines have a peculiar value In dec orative planting in that as a class they are shade enduring. Since muny vines will thrive In partial shade as well as in full sunlight they lend themselves well to porch and arbor decoration. A few have the power to attach thein- elves to bare walls, giving the latter an effect of ae, beauty and appro priateness which cannot be produced by artists and architectural materials. Two of the best vines for covering walls are the Boston Ivy and the Eng lish ivy. Vines which attach them selves to wire or wood supports and ere chiefly valuable because of their covering and shading effects are the clematis, the wistaria and the trumpef flower, and as an arbor or trellis cover none of the vines is more useful than the Japanese honeysuckle. Two of bur native vines which merit high places are the five fingered Ivy and the bittersweet. ' It may therefore be sold In con clusion that to harmoniously arrange trees, shrubs and herbaceous ptants and at the same time adjust them to the contour of the place, the architec ture of the buildings and the con venience of the walks and drives la the aim of the landscape gardener. As his gnlde and model be takes Nature, and in so far as aha la followed bli work la pleasing. In a certain town where amplo pro vision has been made for sui ylng the horses with water from watering troughs so serious has been the loss of horses from glanders, which disease has been traced to the nse of these public watering troughs, that the city council has ordered their removal It is easy to see bow one diseased animal could do a vast deal of barm in this manner. ( Not far from where the writer live forty men applied for a vacancy in the Dositlon of principal of the schools la a town or people; iuvio neiv eighteen applications for the position of policeman In another town, while a storekeeper who wanted a clerk and bookkeeper had twenty-three applica tions. At the very same time there were scores of farmers wanting to hire men at good wages, and they could not get them. It Is of considerable Interest to know that the bacteria associated with the growth 04" sweet clover are identical with those connected with the growth of alfalfa and that the soil on which the sweet clover grows Is Just as good for the purpose of Inoculating a field of alfalfa as though It had been pro cured from a field where alfalfa was well established. The sweet clover may be found in abundance along the railroad rights of way and by the road sides all over the west. When young it looks almost exactly like alfalfa. A GOOD S0GGESTION. Chicago Woman's Flaa to Keep Streets of a Town Cleaa. At a meeting recently of the Social Economics club of Chicago Miss Ger trude Howe of Hull House, who bat organized so many clean city boys clubs, advocated the training of chil dren to pick up waste paper1 from the streets. "It would be a splendid thing to or ganize boys' clubs in every neighbor hood In the city,"" she said, "and I would suggest that they be taught to do these three. things: To pick up one piece of paper each day, never to throw paper Into the street and never to de stroy any growing thing." The suggestion o.. Alius Howe that children be Instructed in the active duty of picking up waste paper and in the passive one of refraining from throwing paper into the streets is wise, and if acted upon will make an ap preciable difference in the city's ap pearance, says the Chicago Trlbnne. The picking up of pins has always been regarded as productive of good luck, and If It were understood that picking up' papers is quite as profit able and that it brings something bet ter than luck, the consciousness of having performed a good act, no doubt many children would be glad to shoul der this small civic responsibility. As matters now stand neither chil dren nor grown people have a strong paper conscience, and the spectacle of a schoolgirl tearing up her school notes and casting them to tho winds la hardly loss common than that of tht male newspaper reader dropping his discarded journal into some vacant lot. "But where shall I put the paper?" asked the young aspirant to civic hon ors, and it must be confessed that here Is a difficulty that has not been solved. With the best intentions toward the improvement of streets and vacant property wayfarers cannot be expected to make walking waBtebaskets of themselves, and to go about carrying unsightly bits of newspapers under their arms. Resident districts offer no public receptacles for debris, and the domestic garbage can Is not always available. If the receptacles were close aA hand no doubt children would be quick to use them and to do their part toward ridding the city of one of its greatest blots, its waste paper. ATTRACT THE TOURISTS. Improved Highways a Splendid Ad vertisement For a Town, No better medium can be devised by any community that Is anxious to have a visiting acquaintance with the re mainder of the world and to cultivate friendship than to expend a few thou sands of dollars bettering the high ways that lead to it and through it, says the New York Telegram. Those bent both on pleasure and business quickly ascertain by which routes their travel can be made most pleasant and most profitable, and there Is yet to be cited an instance where regret has been expressed after the good roads have been laid as tbey should be. Naturally there was a great discus sion at the automobile show regarding the subject of good roads. It Is almost Impossible for half a dozen enthusias tic owners of fine machines to get to gether without Incidentally referring to this topic. It is well within the memory of all of ns that when the bicycle craze was a craze in fact one could seldom find a group f wheel men who would not be found In con versation at almost all times regard ing the extension of the good roads system. Whenever some traditional highway had been given a new top dressing that rendered it quite as smooth as asphalt and even more pleasant to ride upon scarce a fortnight would elapse before parties of curious wheelmen would be riding back and forth from one end to the other seeking new scenery and new fields of information. .The new awning in front of the Gla cier office adds much to the appearano and to the comfort of the occupants.
