3,460 were studying agriculture. Last

graduated. The revenue for conducting
these colleges in 1892 was s., 4s2, 1908.
As to experiment stations, there were

INJURY BY RABBITS AND MICE,

How to Prevent These Pests From Barking
Fruit and Ornamental Trees.
Every winter thousands of trees in the
northern states are barked and utterly
ruined by rabbits and mice. Here are
some preventives which, it is claimed by
Pickett in a manual on rats and other
pests, are not only effective, but easily
applied.
For preventing injury by rabbits take
hogs liver and rub the tree with it
from the ground up about two feet, or
kill a rabbit, split it open and apply to
the tree in the same manner. The ap-
plication must be repeated after every
hard rain. The above have proved eff
fectual where rabbits are not more than
ordinarily numerous. Another method
is to mix tablespoonful of pine tar in
a pailful of warm water and paint the
tree with it.
Some orchardists saw common lath in
halves, paint them with cheap kerosene
or crude petroleum, and with fine wire
weave them closely together, like woven
picket fences. Short sections of these
are fastened loosely around the trees and
prove a protection against the attacks Of
rabbits, even where they are plentiful
Where rabbits are very numerous and
seem bent on destroying everything in
sight, poison them. To accomplish this
make sweet solution of strychnine by
mixing sugar and strychnine together
in the proportion of 10 of the former to
of the latter in warm water. With
this wet quantity of cracked or coarse
~ ground corn and place itin lots of one
teaspoonful in their paths and where
they mostly congregate. Do this late in
the evening, and early the following
morning take shovel and pan and care
fully gather up all that is left. This
method of decreasing their numbers is
brief and effective, but it is also little
risky and should not be resorted to ex-
cept when other measures prove futile.
Ordinarily few traps skillfully man.
aged will settle the business for them.
The best way to prevent mice from
nibbling the bark of trees il. to poison
them. It can be done easily enough.
Place pieces of board close by each. tree,
resting one end Of them on blocks OF
stones SOFAS to raise it about two inches
high. Under these boards place alsmall

view to it's availability for circulation

fusely illustrated, land will be full Of in

also be the largest edition OF any daily
paper ever issued in the state outside of

appreciated. Tens Of thousands of this

orally towards that end. The advan-
tagss to the advertiser and to those
having real estate to sell OF a place in
the columns of the New Years HERALD

the only consideration. Personal de-
sires should weigh but little in the mat
ter OF laying out lines of road for public
use when the interests Of the public are
on the other side. Farmslwould, of
course, sometimes be cut irregulsrly by
laying out roads with a view only to
public convenience, but that should
make ne difference; the public ought
not to be put TO disadvantage to please
anybody.
In the newer portions of the United
States the practice has sprung mp of
locating roads on rectangular lines only,
usually on section or quarter.sectIon
lines. This habit comes from our
system of public land surveys, the
lines of which are uniformly in accord
with the points OF the compass. This
plan of laying out public roads oper-
ates in many instances very badly, as it
often increases the distance to be trav-
elled between points, immensely. Take,
for illustration, the road between Holly
wood and Los Angeles, Hollywood
lying to the northwest OF the city. The
road between the two places is now all
the way on rectangular lines. as if you
were to travel directly south till you
reach point directly west of the
city, and then turning east, max
ing the two sides of a right
angled triangle. The greater distance of
these two sides combined over the hy-
potheneuse is at least mile. Now let
us see what the public lose by this arbi-
trary way OF laying out the road in this
instance. At a very moderate calcula-
tion hundred vehicles pass over this
road each way daily, making extra travel
in the aggregate of 200 miles day. In
year this amounts to $4,000 miles, or
about three times around the world; in
ten years to thirty times around the
earth, and in hundred years, how
much!
The loss of time, the wear and tear
upon teams and wagons, to say nothing
about the effect upon men, each
year would far outbalance all
the cost and inconvenience of open
ing direct road between the
points named. There should be some
such rule as this established by law /:
That when the amount of the damage to
the public from an indirect road in
single year equals the cost of opening a
direct road, such direct road should be
opened without further showing. The
inconvenience suffered by the public
from indirect and out-of-the-way high
ways is something appalling, and yet it
is go divided up in the community that
people take little account of it.
