Twenty-Five States Have
No Laws Governing
: Trees.
(Prepared 'by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The act, passed at the last session
of congress, which permits the federal
government to pay half the cost of
wayside planting along federal-aid
highways, will give considerable im
petus to the movement long fostered
by women’s clubs and other social or
ganizations, and its effect will quickly
be evident in an improvement of the
appearance of the main interstate
roads, according to the bureau of
public roads of the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
States Have No Laws.
_ Latest available figures show that
25 states have no laws governing tree
and shrub planting along highways. A
few of the remaining 23 have good
laws, but the majority have indiffer
ent ones.
The Massachusetts department of
public works, and the highway and
forestry departments of other states,
have already demonstrated how much
can be done at small cost to beautify
the*roadsides by judicious planting of
native trees, shrubs, and perennial
flowers.
The Massachusetts department is
empowered by law to make roadside
improvements, the work including
such planting, replacements, and care
as may be necessary. When a road is
laid out as a state highway, it is gen
erally made sufficiently wide to pro
vide an area on each side of the trav
eled portion for roadside improve
ment. No trees, shrub, or plant with
in such a highway can be cut, re
moved, or new ones added without a
permit from the highway department.
! Work in Massachusetts.
The work of roadside improvement
in Massachusetts is done by the main
tenance division. The cost is included
as a part of the regular maintenance
expenditure of the state. The state
has a nursery at Palmer, where trees
and shrubs are propagated and where
the highway landscape supervisor
trains men in the care of trees and
roadside beautifcation.
Public acquisition in all states of
suitable tracts of land along the high
ways for state parks, for purposes of
recreation and conservation of timber
and animal life, and the acquisition of
small road-bordering strips wnd plots
for development of parkways and
parklets, says the bureau, would en
hance considerably the appearance of
the roadsides.
Great Losses Incurred
by Outbreak of Roup
Announcement of the results of re
cent study of the University of Ar
kansas college of agriculture patholo
gist of losses incurred by an outbreak
of roup among a flock of poultry
showed a reduction of profit during
the year of the outbreak over the pre
ceding one of $2,425.58, The depre
clation per bird was $1.47. It s estl
mated that 90 per cent of the expected
profit was lost due to loss of birds and
egg production, according to Dr, J, H.
Bux, state veterinarian, University of
Arkansas college of agriculture,
The prompt removal of sick birds
from the flock and Individual treat
ment of the head leslons, the slangh
tering of all recovering birds that
might have been chronic carriers, fre
quent cleaning and disinfection of the
house, and provision of auple alr
without draft prevented the losses ns

. Trees Too Close
In blocks of orchards where the
trees are too close together half of the
trees should be cut out this winter,
The natural tendency Is for the
trees to be left in until those which
are to be left permanently do not
amount to much, The lower limbs
have been stunted or have dled back
from lack of light. Planting trees fur
enough upart is a very Important mut
ter,
Implement Repairing
Done During Winter
Fine Time to Put Machinery
and Tools in Shape.
Use your winter leisure time to pur
your field machinery in fine order.
Any workman will do better work if
he has better tools. This is true of
the farmer just as it is of everybody
else. Tield work can be done better
with good, sharp, well-adjusted tools
than with some that are allowed to
get out of kilter, become dull, ete.
It pays, and pays well, to keep im
plements and tools in the very best of
condition. To allow them to get into
poor condition is inviting rapid and
serious depreciation. o g
During the winter, when there is
no great amount of work, is a fine
time to put the machinery in good
shape for the following year. Degin
with your plows. See that the shares
are sharp, have good points, and that
the hole bottoms are well covered with
grease or some protection against rust.
Plow adjustments can be made so far
as possible, but for actual work it is
pretty hard to do this without getting
into the field. -
Likewise with the cultivator; their
points should be shurpened and their
surfaces polished and coated with
some nonrustable material that can be
easily removed. Look to the boxing
on the wheels. Sometimes they wear
badly. !
Go 'through the whole list of ma
chines—corn planters, drills, mowers,
rakes, binder, manure spreader, ete,
Examine them from end to end. See
that all necessary parts are in good
shape or, if badly worn, get new ones
ordered immediately. Don’'t forget
when the new ones come that they
should be immediately adjusted to the
machine,
Good Business Judgment
to Purchase Phosphate
It shows good business judgment to
buy phosphate and apply it to graia
fields, state A. R, Whitson and Griffith
Richards of the soils department at
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture
in a special circular entitled “Use
P’hosphate—lt Will Pay.”
They point out that:
Legume crops will produce heavier
vields if supplied with plenty of phos
phate,
Phosphate will hasten the maturity
of small grains and corn from one to
two weeks.
Phosphate is constantly leaving the
farm in crops, bones of animals, and
milk sold. ‘
Phosphate will be lost no matter
how carefully the manure is handled.
On the average Wisconsin farm for
every dollar spent for phosphate a
return of from $2 to $4 may reason
ably be expected.
How may phosphate best be applied
and In what amounts?
The greatest money return will be
obtained by broadeasting for the small
grain crop with which alfalfa and
clover are sown.

“I just couldn't resist any longer
telling you of your wonderful medi
cine, Milks Emulsion. I have been
constipated as long as I can remem

eight years old and since then my
bowels haven't moved freely. Doctors
have given me bowel medicine and I
have taken pills, salts, castor oil, and
everything a person could think of.
They didn't do me any good whatever.
“Now, whenever I hear anyone say
they are constipated, I immediately
tell them of Milks Emulsion. I have
taken about 12 large bottles, not all
of them regular, Now I keep Milks
Emulsion in the house and take it
regular. I have taken so much medi
cine that I thought it was all alike.
“I had a sallow complexion, no
color, and felt miserable all the time;
but now I have the color of health,
and health is something I wouldn't
exchange with anyone for a. fortune.
I wouldn't take ten times the price I
paid for Milks Tmulsion for the re
sults I have obtained.
“I am 19 years old and weigh 105
pounds. Have gained 5 pounds since
taking your medicine and am still
gaining. My face is round and my
arms are getting round. Before, peo
ple used to hang their hats on my el
bows, thinking they were : hatracks.
Now I am going to keep on with Milks
Emulsion until I weigh 125 pounds.

doctors. ‘They both admitted it was
good, and no one knows better than I

“You may publish this letter if you

their medicine has done for me. I

Coke’s Distinct Value
in the House Furnace
Soft. coal can never be burned in
house-heating furnaces with such' com
pleteness of c¢ombustion as . coke.
When soft coal is used most of the
volatile matter distilled from the coal
escapes from the furnice unburned in
the form of soot, tar, and combustible
gases.” Part of the soot and tar is de
posited on the heating surfaces of the
stove or furnace and in the flues and
part escapes through the chimney ag
visible smoke. The tar and soot do
not burn in the furnace because the
furnace is usually too small and the
temperature too low for maintaining
their combustion. The residue left
after the tar and soot have been
driven from the coal is in the form of
coke, It burns slowly and almost com
pletely in the small furnace and the
heat which gets into the house is most
ly the heat that has been generated
by burning this residue. Therefore,
when soft coal is burned .in the ordi
nary house-heating furnace the coal is
first reduced to coke by driving off the
volatile matter, most of which escapes
unburned; then the coke burns in the
furnace and heats the house. Driving
off the volatile matter unburned not
only causes a direct loss of heat but
causes a great deal of dirt in the fur
nace; flues, boiler room, and also in the
outside atmosphere. Since the vola
tile matter in soft coal is of negative
value so far as heating the house is
concerned. it is better to use a fuel
that does not contain volatile matter,
Such a fuel is coke.~~Bureal of Mines.
