UNFAIR TAXATION
By Howard H. Gross. Chicago.

For hundred years throughout the
Mississippi valley the farmers have
carried the burden of highway i'm.
provement. They have paid for the
bridges and they have worked the
roads. Hundreds of millions have
been spent and the roads are not
much better than they were to begin
with; where they are better is because
Of draining. It requires engineering
skill and experience to make a road:
these have not been employed and the
result has been failure. If the money
expended had been used to the best
advantage fully half the roads would
now be permanently improved with
stone or gravel.
The first great need is to stop the
waste-revise the highway laws, pro.
vide for skilled supervision, centralizo
authority, tax every dollar of property
in the state for permanent road i'm
provements, do not expect the farmer
to do all the paying. The roads are
public property and it is up to the pub.
lic-everybody-to chip in.
The state aid plan has already been
adopted by Is states; it works to the
satisfaction Of everybody and seems
to be the only successful way Of
handling the subject.

Nervousness.

Nervousness is often due to some
poison formed in the blood by the de-
composition Of undigested food-in
other words, often arises primarily
from Indigestion.
Nervousness when due to this
cause may sometimes continue
through many years without causing
dangerous conditions. On the other
hand nervous disturbances due to this
auto-intoxication or self-poisoning may
be Immediately fatal.
Many people, however, suffer from
nervous indigestion" as they call It,
for twenty years or more without IA
tai termination. In these cases there
is of course gradual weakening Of
the system which predisposes to many
diseases. and death is always prema-
ture, usually being tracable to what
is called "heart failure"

HANDLING YOUNG TREES
AT TIME OF SETTING
Ideas Differ Extent
Trimmed Back.

In the accompanying illustration, we
show four methods of handling young
trees at setting time. Horticulturists
differ very greatly as to their notions
on the trimming back of trees at
transplanting time. Some object to
any trimming and some trim off every
thing.
The men that do not trim at all
say that a tree should be taken out Of
the ground with the greatest of care,
that its roots may not be injured.
They advocate digging a circular
ditch far from the little tree and grad
ually working out the roots, so that
all the small, fibrous roots may be
saved or at least most of them. Then
they would save the top because that
has plant food stored up in it. They
advocate setting out each tree with

which a tree is pruned by the so-called
Stringfellow method. All the roots
and all the branches are removed.
The setting of the tree is reduced to
the least possible work. A man goes
along with a crowbar and jabs a hole
in the earth. Another man follows
with an armful of trees and pushes a
tree into each hole. This method is
found to be serviceable in many parts
of the south, where an abundant sun
shine and moisture hasten growth. It
is also more adapted to fast growing
trees, like the peach, than to any
other kind. In the colder parts Of the
country, where growth is slow, it has
not proved very satisfactory.

be brought at once into contact with
all OF the fibrous roots. Water is used
for working the soil down between the
little roots, which should be spread
out in every direction so that they
may cover the greatest possible area
of feeding ground That this method
gives good results in many cases can
not be denied, but it requires extraor-
binary care in digging and setting
the trees. The nurseryman that sells
his trees at little price cannot afford
to spend on digging each tree the
amount of time this would require.

THE BEE BEGINNER:

A few suggestions may be helpful to
the beginner in bee keeping and en-
able him to make his first years work
a marked success.
l. Shade your hives, If possible
with trees carrying heavy foliage.
Swarms should be shaded from nine
a. m. to five p. m. during the hottest
season of the year.
2. Get super of honey from the
hive wintered over by putting a super
containing sections with full sheets Of
foundation or super containing ex-
tracing frames on the hive as soon
as there is a good working force.
3. When the swarm issues remove
the super from the old and place it
upon the new stand. Your new swarm
will not leave their hive and will be
quite likely to continue working in the
super.
4. Arrange a wind-break to prevent
loaded bees from being dashed against
the hive fronts by the prevailing
strong winds.
S. Provide supports for the hives
which will lift them q foot or more
from the ground. Ants and insect
eating animals may give trouble If
the hives are on the ground.
6. Get your extra hives and supers
set up for use several weeks before
any swarms are expected or the honey
flow may be half over before you are
ready to take care of it.
Z. Keep all comb-honey in moth
proof cases and examine frequently.
s. Set the hive with the front of
the bottom board halfinch lower
than the back, but it should be level
sidewise or combs will be built at an
angle with the frames or sections.
.. Do not attempt to handle bees
on cold damp days but while they arc
working in the field.

a poUzZRY TNRM e07OW2NT ODLQWY STsZzlr OF 3

During the past few years the ten.
dency among poultrymen has been to
build houses on plan to admit of an
abundant supply of fresh air. More
consideration is now being given to
fresh air than warmth in poultry
houses. The mistake in the past has
been in failure to recognize the fact
that the housing of poultry is an arti-
acial condition, for our domestic poul-
try still retain considerable of the
wild nature. This is shown when
fowls persist in flying into the trees
to roost in preference to seeking the
shelter of houses provided for them.
1t has never yet been demonstrated
that fowls can be kept in warm
houses without injury to the constitu-
tional vigor of the flock, and the
vigor of the flock must be the first
concern of the poultry breeder.
The difficulty is in building a
house that will not be subject to too
great variations in temperature be.
tween night and day and at the same
time we'll ventilated, and not too damp
without furnishing artificial heat. 1t
is possible by artifcially heating the
house to get slightly better egg
yield, as is indicated by experiments
at some of the stations, but they also
indicate that the increased yield was
at the expense of vitality of the fowls.
1t is very important that the tempera-
ture does not vary too much in the
house.
dows in the south the temperature will
be high during the day when the sun
shines and at night it will be very low,
the glass permitting the escape of
the heat as rapidly as it enters. This
IS because Of the chilling effect on the
variations of temperature; and second,
because CT the dampness it produces
in the house. During the day the
warm air in the house is taking UP
the moisture and at night, owing to
the great fall in temperature, the air
becomes very humid, often totally
saturated as is seen when moisture
