BULLETIN ON HOME GROUNDS RECENTLY
ISSUED BY CORNELL AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
Can Be. Secure! by Public Free of Coet—Quite Valuable.
Make your home surroundings beautiful by following the laws of or¬ der and simplicity—is the keynote of a bulletin on home grounds which has just been published by the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell. Beautiful grounds can be obtained without a lavish expenditure of money and without a sacrifice of convenience. Since the house Is the center of all home activities, too much attention can not be given to Its loca¬ tion. If possible the home should be set slightly above the land Imme¬ diately surrounding It, but not too high; see that the view from the win¬ dows of the rooms most used are the best ones to be obtained from your particular location. Select your type of house with a view to making it flt In with its surroundings. A smoothly graded lawn is more easily mowed, as well as more beautiful. Lawns should be kept clear of flower beds and also of many single trees and shrubs. A little planting about a house, some large trees, with most of the plantings along the boundaries, looks best. Unsightly objects that
are necessary, may be covered up with planting.
Do not chop up your grounds with paths, says the bulletin. Lay out walks with a purpose, that purpose being to make them lead somewhere, without cutting across a grass plat or spoiling the general appearance of a lawn, and then make them beautiful with shrubs and treea that lend themselves to such uses. Oftentimes, these shrubs and trees may be of a frult-bearlng type, thus serving a two-fold purpose.
In the bulletin published by the landscape authorities of the college of agriculture are diagrams showing the proper arrangement of home grounds in relation to the house and out-bulldings, and a classifled list of trees, shrubs, and flowers. A general description of each plant and tree is given, from which selections can be made with an intelligent conception of the general appearance of the tree or plant, its height, its foliage, its blossoms if it has any, and its habits.
A copy of this bulletin may be obtained by any resident of the state on application to the New York State College of Agriculture, at Ithara, New York.

The appellate division of the sec¬ ond department, by decision handed down Friday last, unanimously af¬ firmed the Judgment of $21,000 grant¬ ed by a Jury last May to 17-year-old Mary Haynes, a former resident of Roosevelt, L. I., against Cooke, Cobb & Co., of Broooklyn.
Miss Haynes was employed at the stationery factory of Cooke & Cobb Company, when she received the in¬ juries sued for. On the morning of Aug. 14, 1913, while she was washing her hands at a sink preparatory to taking up her work, her hair whica hung lu a long braid down her back, became caught in a partly exposed re- volvir.rr shaft located next to the sink. The hair was wound around the shaft¬ ing in such a way as to lift Miss Haynes off the floor untii her entire scalp was torn trom her head with such force as to remove In some places Ihe three layers covering the skull. Her left eye was partly torn out and the ibft side of her face and body bad¬ ly out and bruised.
MMs Haynes was removed to the Brooklyn hospital and remained there for some eight or uine months under the care of the best experts of the country in an endeavor to graft akin enough to cover her denuded skull. After several unsucoesaful attempts to
graft skin from other sources. Miss Haynes submitted to an operation in nhlch sufilcient skin was taken from ner own body to serve the purpose. ii'iie will be disfigured for life and will always have to wear false hair.
The appeal was taken to the appel¬ late division by William A. Jones, Jr., Cl New York City, as attorney for Cooke & Cobb Company, and was op¬ posed by ex-Judge Elvin N. Edwards of Freeport on behalf of Miss Haynes.
The verdict is one of the largest ever sustained in the courts of this country for the loss of the entire scalp of a young girl.
