In every long-settled locality where
the soil is sandy farmers quickly learn,
after the original forest Is cleared
away, to plant windbreaks to protect
their soil from blowing away. Such
windbreaks do good, says the American
Cultivator, which more than offsets the
waste Of the land which they occupy.
Not only Is soil blown away after being
plowcd, but during the summer there
are frequent violent sandstorms where
the winds have full sweep, which un-
cover seeds and plants or blow sand
against the foliage of plants, cutting
and spelling 1t. These windbreaks
serve another important purpose in
winter in keeping the snow evenly
spread over the fields. They should be
of evergreen wherever possible, so as
to make protection for winter as well
as for the summer season.

Not much has been heard lately Of the
storage battery car, but 1t has not been
abandoned by any means. The Madi-

to use 1t in an improved form. In their
new cars the battery will not be carried
in the cars but on detachable truck
underneath. Three storage battery
lines are running In Paris and one in
Birmingham, and the system has been
found entirely satisfactory In power
and economy. One Of the European
cars runs seventy miles on one charge
