.A motion was made by. O. H.

&£, that the lines of both companies

•7" to be taken off tbe streets wby not
all east and west lines be also placed
,, In tba center of tbe blocks thus tak*
7 Ing all lines off tbe streets as far as
%\ j feasable. A motion was introduced

fe- this eommittee Edward House, ot the
1st ward, Geo. Vandewsrker, of tbe
2nd and H. T. McKerrlng of tbe 3rd
were appointed to procure tbe right
of way.
These right of ways will be secured
by tbe owners of the properties signing a perpetual easement whieb will
give the companies tbe right to set
poles and- tbe liberty- to repair tbe
same at any time.
An excellent feature wbloh will develop daring the rebuilding of Clare
Hues la -that, both companies have
agreed to building their lines on tbs
same poles, thus doing away with1
the olty being clustered with poles
and wires.   ■; .
It is hoped that tbs committees
will encounter no difficulties in securing the easements as tbe difference in tbe appearance of onr streets
will be well worth _lvin_ the privilege and no discomforts are to be
suffered.

which method stands tbe test in favor of the life of the tree and healing

where no surface Is exposed, close
pruning Is proper for sverytblng,
[otherwise hangers would clog the

My observation and experience bas
been that Unseed oil put oa tree
wounds thick enough to prime tbe
wood and keep out moisture will
melt or tbin by best andS-rnn. Anv
bark covered by this rnnnlng oil is
loosened and peels, thus exposing
the wound to greater  nakedness.
In no ease bave I seen oil perfectly

checking of the wood of a wound
produced by pruning. My observations have extended to the work
done for years by one of tbe state
agricultural colleges] where severe
winter conditions bave to be mst,
and wbere summer beat is intense.
In this instance the result of close
prnning and the nse of oil on wounds
has proved disappointing. Tbe
wounds are not healed nor are tbe
obeoks and heart rot prevented.
Where pruning Is annual tbe close
pruning Is less objectionable, bur

■   Often, in kitchens   built a' number
of years ago, tbe position of the stove
cannot  be   changed;   but  its  height
can   be  changed.     Why  stoop   over
your stove if you are tall? Few stoves
are too high, but a low stove  can   be
easily elevated.     Thirty-nine inches
has   been   found-to be-the   average
wbicb would suit tbe average woman.
A simple extension of  tbe  electric
light cord can make all tbe difference
in the world in lighting  convenience,
if a sufficient number   otbooks   are
placed at  different   "intervals   about
tbe room.    There is no use in   working with yonr shadow on your  work.
Tbe table can be adjusted even more

have you ever tried one?—will  prove

That carefully kept accounts, giving a record of tbe year's transactions and inventory statistics, are
proving a material aid to farmers in
securing loans and credit extensions
from tbeir bankers, is tbe statement
of H. M. Eliot, head of tbe Farm
Management Department at the
Michigan Agricultural  College.
"Financial statements are as Important In farming as in any otber
business", says Eliot. "Without
accounts which will make tbese
records possible, the farmer must
approach his banker 'In tbe dark',
without facta upon which to base his
requests for credit. The farmer Is
in a stronger position if he has
statements whlob will show definitely his assets over liabilities, and tbe
yearly return from the business.
"Even in adverse eoonomio times,
when accounts may show but small
profit for the year, the records will
show the fundamental soundness of
the farm projects and will provide a
basis npon which to ask for credits".
Convenient aids In keeping farm
records are provided in a Farmers
Account Rook published by the
agricultural college. These books
a new edition of 5,000 being just off
the press, contain pages for cash
records, inventories, financial statements, feeding records, crop yield
records, snd summaries. - Tbey are
distributed at oost, fifty cents eaob,
to farmers of tbe. state wbo request
tbem of the M. A. O. Farm Management Department, Bast Lansing.
