(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 suming the proportions that were ob served In several other flocks simlilar- Iy affected, . 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. § Around the Farm § Repalr your chimney and prevent fires, o 9.9 Sharp plowshares mean better plowing and less power to do it o Soy beans should be sown for hay as soon us possible after corn plant ing. .

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.
