It naturally waa an American who In-
▼rated tbo barbed wlro and woven
fencing, and today there aro
mllee of fanoo la America than la all
the real of tba world combined.
Of Into yaora wo have begun to
awaken to tba fact that there are ad-
van tagea In not fencing In private
yards that are rroa from objectionable
nelghbora. We do not need fencaa to
protect our front lawna from cattle
In our cltlea and auburba. and their
only value la a aentlmental one. By
removing the front yard fencea from a
block of aarburban realdencea, wa ao-
cure the effect of a atreet twice aa
wide and much mora apacloua ground*
about each bouae.
If a front fence la dealrod. let It be
In keeping with the character of the
houae and grounda. While tC tall, or-
namental Iron fence la the Ideal type
for a formal city manalon, it la decld-
odly out of place In a auburban Bet-
ting. Nothing la prettier than a white
picket fence for a colonial dwelling,
and a cut atone wall la very attract-
ive for large eatates.
Fencea for the city and country
yards are atill very popular, and
properly ao. It ia in the back yard
that the garden growa, the children
play and the clothes hang out to dry.
Here la the waate paper barrel, the
garbage can, the ash pile and the
chicken yard. Let ua have a little
privacy, a place where we do not have
to be preaentable. Let ua put a high
board fence or a hedge or some other
acreen around the back yard, and do
Just aa we pleaae out there.
We can plant vinea and fruit trees
against the fence and hide it, beaide
making It bear tribute. A six-foot
board fence will aerve the purpose, or
a lower one with a clump of high
ahruba before It. Cement walla may
be made aa thin aa three Inches and
aa high as eight feet, if a more per-
manent fence la desired.
The Town Cow.
It la a surprising fact to many to
learn that there are a very consider-
able number of cows kept within
the limits of every great city. Cows
are a familiar aight on the atreets of
many amall towns, but In our vast
congested urban centers the eight of
one la very unuaual. Of course the
number of cows here la much a mail-
er in proprtlon to the population, and
It la very unfortunate in many waya
that there are not more cows dwelling
In our midst, so to spaak.
The city cow, when owned and man-
aged by a professional milkman, has
proved to be a conalderable menace
to health in the past, entirely due to
the way In which auch animala have
been bandied. We do not wlah to be
understood aa advocating the opera-
tion of commercial dairy herda under
urban eonditlona, but wo do believe
firmly that It would bo a great agent
for the bettor heolth of city children
If there were mora city cows owned
by tbolr parenta.

If the houae Itself 1* not close to the
sidewalk, or It Is desirable to use a
hedge on a small lot because of un-
usual conditions, use a low. Informal
hedge auch aa barberry or Japaneae
quince.
The great field of the hedge Is as
a beautiful boundary partition on large
grounds, or as a screen to furnish pri-
vacy and Bhut out disagreeable views.
In such locations the evergreen
hedge cannot be surpassed, becauae It
is fequaily effective In winter and sum-
mer, its life Is from fifteen to twenty
yeara, and it forma an excellent back-
ground for deciduoua planting.
Use American arborvitae for the
lower hedges and hemlock for the tree
hedges. The effect is somber and the
view from the houae will be bright-
ened by planting a few Colorado blue
spruce and a line of red barked flow-
ering dogwood against the hedge.
More graceful and cheering effecta
can be secured by putting in Califor-
nia privet, barberry or Japanese
quince, and they are fully as satisfac-
tory in their own way.
For screens nothing can surpass
hemlock or some of our beautiful de-
ciduous shrubs, such as the hardy
lllaca and syrlngas.
In moist, cool regions, such as pre-
vail along the coast line of New Eng-
land, the boxwood plant is almost uni-
versally used, and it makes a hedge
as smooth and solid looking as a bank
of turf.
Planting directions vary with the
season, the soil and the plants used,
hence we cannot cover them all in this
article.
Hedges may be planted successful-
at any time of the year that the
ground can be worked, but apring and
fall are the best times. Be sure to
fertilize well and plant thickly enough.
About $15 worth of plants will make
an ordinary hedge 200 feet long.
^LEMONADE
Hogs on Alfalfa.
A Kansas farmer, who ralaes be-
tween 5O0 and 600 hogs ever year,
aays that his hogs have turned into
pork by running on alfalfa pasture
with an average of about one ear of
corn per day until the last six weeka
when they are given ail the corn they
will eat in addition to the alfalfa. Thia
farmer, who aeems to know his busi-
ness. says he does not pasture so
closely but that he ia able to get two
and sometimes three cuttings per
annum from them and tbeae will
average from three-quarter* to a little
over a ton per cutting. Some brains
la thia plan.

muffin pan. Make a frame of four
plecea of board about 4 inches wide
(B, Fig. 7). cutting the two aide
pieces of the right length so the in-
side of the drawer will be about 4
Inches longer than the pan (Fig. 4).
You may not have occasion to put pa-
per money away in your drawer, but
if a customer has no change he may
hand you a dollar bill, so you must
bave a shelf In front of the pan tray
on which to put It. The strips C
(Fig. 7) should be nailed to the In-
side face of three sides of the drawer,
about 1*4 inches below the top, to
support the rim of the muffin pan, and
the board D (Fig. 7) forma a shelf for
bills.
The simplest method of arranging
cleats for the cash drawer to slide on
is by placing the boxea on which the
top is supported Just a trifle further
apart than the width of the drawer,
and__then nailing atrip* to the inner
faces of the boxes, at the proper dis-
tance below the under aide of the
top (Fig. 1). It to not neceaaary to
faaten a bottom to the drawer, and
you will see by the aectioa drawing
(Fig. C) that by omitting thia you have
the bottom of tbo front piece to catch

MR. VAWDERBILTS 12 CENTS
Millionaire Take* the Trouble te
Change a Dollar lo Oct a Small
Sum of Money.
Mr. Vanderbllt waa notably exact-
ing In bla personal business relatione
—of hlmaeir aa well aa of othere. At
a meeting or a certain railroad's board
or dlrectora of whlfh he waa a mem-
ber It waa round that aeveral were ab-
sent. At a rull board meeting each
director received ten dollara, and It
waa the rule that If you were abaent
those present shared the total fee.
That la. If but half the members were
present each attending member would
receive twenty dollara. and *o propor-
tionately. On the day or the meeting
referred to the number or absentees
made the division or the ree amount
to certain odd dollars and twelve
and a hair cent*. At the close of the
meeting, aa the secretary handed
each member hla apportioned fee. he
accepted the given number ot dollara
and paaaed up the twelve and a halt
centa to avoid the bother ot making
change. When the secretary came to
Mr. Vanderbllt, however, he round him
bually counting some small coin tram
a purse onto the table. "I can change
a dollar tor you, and will take the
twelve cents," said Mr. Vand^bllt;
then smiled aa he added, "but I can-
not manage the halt cent." And the
man worth more than a hundred mil-
lion dollar* had taken the trouble to
change a dollar for the sake of twelve
cents, which, together with the extra
dollars, had come to him by the de-
fault of others. Had the proposed
halfpenny then been in circulation he
would probably have "managed the
half-cent."
The next day Cornelius Vanderbllt
gave half a million dollars to estab-
lish a charity work in New York. And
it was in a measure due to his con-
stantly keeping close tab on the pen-
nies in the handling of his large af-
fairs that he waa able to make such a
splendid gift in the cause of human-
ity.—Richard M. Winans, in Harper'*
Weekly.

The little boy, aged five, waa sit-
ting in the midst of the large family
circle at the luncheon table. Oppo-
site him was his young lady cousin,
who mingled with her affection for
him an earnest desire to set his In-
fant feet in the paths of knowledge.
Just now, in her Intense way, she
waa trying to teach him how to di-
vide an orange Into quarters.
Again and cgain she led up to the
point that she wished him to think
out, and. as often, he failed to follow.
As she leaned forward, wholly ab-
sorbed in her desire to make the idea
clear to him, she asked once more,
"But how would you get a quarter ot
an orange?"
The boy. blissfully unconscious, re-
plied with a beaming look, "I would
say please."—Youth'* Companion.
Benefit of Sorrow.

they muat rest on atronger supports;
that tbey must have other friends

They Educe Our Sympathies
The word sympathy is the Greek
word for "suffering with." The root
idea in sympathy Ib to suffer with
others, to share their losses and sor-
rows. If suffering and sorrow were
unknown there would not be anything
to call out our sympathies and so a
large area of human nature would re-
main uncultivated. The sun melts
away the ice and tugs at the roots of
trees and educes the spring buds, bo
sorrows thaw out human nature and
tug at the roots of our life and bring
our sympathies to fruition. We learn
to weep with those that weep and
that is a trait of Christian character
Included in the apostolic counsels.
Job said. "Did not I weep for him that
wal in trouble? Was not my soul
grieved for the poor?" Sympathy is
a wonderful soul-power and these sad
calamities call it into noblest exer-
cise.
The response at such times has al-
ways been electrical. Famines In
Russia and India, fires and floods in
any land stir human souls every-
where and fan into a flame the fires
of sympathy ever burning on the al-
tars of human hearts In all lands.
The brotherhood of the race and the
kinship* of humankind Is quickly
evinced in the hour of horrible dis-
aster. It is a great gift to be able to
weep—not for—but with the sorrow-
ing. There is infinite healing in it.
Jesus wept with the mourning sisters.
Such tears have often relieved the
heartache and brought tranquillity to
the troubled soul. A callous-hearted
husband who had never seen anyone
near to him suffer, watched his wife
suffer like a martyr for weeks and his
sympathies were stirred as never be-
fore. and the suffering wife aaid, "It
waa worth it all because it made a
new man ot my husband." In the
mldat of the atress of life there la a
tendency to selfishness, but multiple
disaatera move us to compaaalon and
keep the heart aymMthetic and kind
and thia warming makea thlnga go
more pleasantly In many a homo, of-
fice. and workahop In the dully round
