Plan Outlined For Doing Away With Some of Their Worst Features. Cemeteries are adopting the plan of baving the price of the lots include their perpetual care, thus insuring a uniformly neat appearance of the grounds. This plan is almost univer- sally adopted by new cemeteries. Most cemeteries now require all graves to be on a level with the surface, doing away with the raised mounds, which adds greatly to the appearance of the place, says the New York Sun. Before cemeteries can be made as attractive as they should be it will be necessary to require simple and uni- form markers of stone at every grave, with a slightly different marker for the name of the plot owner. The grounds can then be made beautiful, laylng them out in the most artistic manner possible, with trees of various kinds, flowering shrubs, rose beds and arbors, ponds with aquatic plants and swans and benches neatly arranged in shaded spots and under arbors for the comfort of visitors. The general use of monuments will be prohibited. A few monuments of real artistic merit by celebrated artists here and there, where they will fit into the landscape, will make the cemetery a place of beauty. Friends will go to visit their dead without the shudder that comes over one on entering the ordinary cemetery, confronting a field of unsightly monuments, arrayed as if in battle formation, all the work of a stone carver, frequently of ordinary ability and devold of artistic taste. Unsightly tombs will be prohibited. A row of tombs, bullt as one building or mausoleum, will be located properly to add to rather than detract from the appearance of the cemetery, and por- tions of this building will be sold to those desiring to use a tomb. It 18 as reasonable to expect several thousand people to each build a small portion of a great building according to their own ideas and have the whole a beautiful result as to expect ceme- terles under the present plan to be anything more than what they are. Crazy patch work is far more sys- tematic. Only one cemetery of this kind is needed to reform the situation, as it would be so attractive as to arouse universal interest and be copied far and wide.

R KK KKK KKK KK The Neglacted House Number. Without realizing it the home build- ers and home owners of this country have shoved the poor house number into a rut; out of which it will take months and probably years for it to climb, says Albert Marple in the Conn- tryside Magazine. People seem rot to have awakened to the fact that the house number {s really a part of the home, that it is always placed in a position where it is seen by the pass- ing public and that it is entitled to consideration as surely as the porch, the chimney or the pillar. Numbers set in an original surrounding cause one to forget that they are the same old metal figures that are to be seen on every hand. It is not difficult to devise something new in the way of a house number — something that s a credit to the home and which wil put the number on a level with all its oth- er features. At this season of the year it is well to remember that barnyard manure-is a valuable and perishable product. No system of storing has entirely done away with losses in connection with it. The liquid may run: away and the solu- ble plant food leak out, or the nitrogen is lost by heating. The calves that are born in the fall need comfortable quarters during the ‘winter; otherwise they will begin the spring dwarfed and checked in their development to an extent that can scarcely be overcome by any feeding or handling during the summer.

First.—A more liberal use of potato seed will generally result in both in- creased production and profit. Second:—A good storage place is es- sential in order to insure sound, firm seed at planting time. g Third.—The use of high grade seed would increase the returns. from the potato crop of the country by many millions of dollars. Fourth.—All seed should be treated with formalin before planting to pre- vent scab. Hello, boys and girls. Hear that sehool bell? Don’t start for school without 8 NEW BEMIDJI lead pen- cil.
