be fully alive to the importance OF a
clean and wholesome meat supply,
but in few cities Is sufficient appro-
|priation made to permit OF this work
being properly carried on. The cry
ing need is for union abattoirs which
would make feasible the inspection Of
all food animals prior to and during
slaughter. and the proper construc-
|tion and sanitation of buildings which
from their uses require the greatest
possible care In this respect. Padu-
cab has made the greatest strides to-
ward cleaning up its slaughter houses
and there is a growing sentiment
there fora union abattoir and inspec-
|tion. Henderson has the good fort
unc Of a clean and sanitary abattoir
and cold storage. where nearly all the
butchers slaughter. Il was urged
that Henderson gather In the few
stray butchers. and set Kentucky the
example OF a union abattoir with
rigid municipal inspection.
"Of even more Importance than
meat is milk. because usually con
sumed raw and consumed most by
infants, children, inyalids and con-
v~aleseents The women's clubs In
many of the cities visited are showing
a most commendable activity to pro-
cure good milk (by the Institution Of
milk depots and other measures) for
Infant feeding. The certified milk Of
louisville. which comes from some Of
|tbe best dsiries I ever saw, Is a great
credit to that city. The experiment
station at Lexington is relied upon
by the limited number which Il can
supply. Paducah. whose very efficient
health officer and milk inspector are
bringing their milk up to the stand
ard. Is hoping soon to produce certi-
fed milk. There Is need. however,
of more attention to this vital matter
of pure milk everywhere.

Protecting Trees from Rabbits During Winter

1t is tied on with some kind of cord,
care being taken to tie it firmly so it
will stay. There are many more meth
DDS of protecting trees than the above,
two of which are here described. These
are as follows:
Lime wash with arsenate of lead.
Paint the trunks of the trees with lime
wash made rather thick, tos which has
been added about one-half pound of
arsenate of lead to each pailfull of
wash. The lime wash is made in the
usual manner by mixing lime and wa
ter. After adding the arsenate of lead
the whole mixture should be thoroughly
stirred to mix the poison with the
wash. This wash is put on with an
ordinary paint brush and the trunk of
the tree should be covered as high as
the rabbits can reach 1t should be re-
newed if there is any indication of in
jury to the trees by rabbits. One-h
pound of paris green may be substitute
ed for the arsenate of lead.
Wrapping Trees With Paper-The
trunks of the trees are wrapped with
paper, the paper being tied on with
cord to hold it in place. Old newspa-

FarmeaD Sf the central and eastern
states are now seeing the need of re-
placing the timber lands that were so
needlessly destroyed in order to secure
more land for cultivation and as
method Of securing money by cutting
into lumber and other materials.
Now this same timber is wanted to
replace farm buildings and in the
building of fences.
Throughout the central west good
fence posts can only be had from lum
Der dealers, who sell cypress and cedar
posts at prices almost beyond the reach
IF the small farm owner.
Many farmers do not like concrete
Ind steel posts, as they are expensive.
Some farmers are turning fields out
Ind farming without fences.
But to do this much valuable pas
.ure is lost, and crops are often dam
iged by trespassing stock.
Many are now planting timber for a
.uture supply. In planting many plant
The catalpa; thinking it the best.
True, it is a lasting timber and of
luick growth when planted on low, rich
soil, but on hilly land or dry sandy
soil it is very slow, requiring from ten
20 fifteen years to get posts large
enough for fence building.
Others are planting Usage orange. but
It is also a slow growing tree and has
The fault of growing crooked with short
trunks and overmuch top.
The, tree that gives the best results
with little care after planting is the
black locust 1t does well on any soil
wet or dry. 1t is quick grower and
when planted thick-say 6 feet each
way-the trees will grow tall with but
little top, and will, at the end of five
years, be ready for the first thinning
,ut.

pers may be used for the above pur-
pose. the care necessary being to see
that the paper entirely covers the trunk
of the tree high enough to prevent the
rabbits reaching the exposed portion
above the paper.
The last two remedies mentioned and
described were used during the last
winter and spring at tho New Mexico
experiment station and they gave en-
tire satisfaction. The latter method OF
wrapping the trunks of the trees with
paper is the cheaper of the two, and II
the proper care is exercised in putting
on the paper no other protection will
be necessary. The paper should be re-
moved in the latter part of spring after
danger from rabbits gnaWing the tree
is past.
The planter should not fail to pay
particular attention to this matter of
protecting his trees during winter. A
little care expended along this line will
save his trees from injury and will
more than pay the expense. The time
to begin this protection is just as soon
as the leaves fall and before any dam
age is done.

Many fruit and shade trees are lost
annually by being girdled by rabbits.
The season in which most of the dam
age is done is during the winter
months. AS that season is approach
ing 1t would be well for the orchardist
TO have in mind some form of protec-
ton for his trees in order to prevent
such loss.
With regard to remedies, there are
several advocated and these are usually
OF two forms. The trunk of the tree is
either painted with some solution or
wrapped with some material Many
patent protectors are on the market
such as wire coils and thin sheets of
wood. The wire coil protector slips
over the tree and can be left on the
year around and until the tree gets too
large for the coil. Then it must be re-
moved. The price of these protectors
is about 1925 per 100. When the sheets
of wood arc used they are put on the
tree in the fall and are removed in the
spring. strip of the wood sufficiently
large to extend around the tree is used.

MUST GROW FENCE POSTS
Black Locust and White Mulberry Trees Recon-
mended for Reasonably Quick Growth

All this time all Stunted trees should
be worked up and from this time on
ground thus planted will furnish ma
terial for posts, as each year more thin
ming must be done.
In fifteen years the trees will be
large enough to make four posts to
the cut and many of them will make
three to five post cuts, with some round
posts in the top.
The black locust is also a fine tree
for planting about the house and barn
When planted in the open it forms a
beautiful tree, having a thick, neavy
foliage, retaining its leaves throughout
the summer, and in early spring has
an abundance of understanding white
flowers.
When young it is well protected by
thorns, making it tree that can be
grown in pasture or stock lot with
out being damaged by stock.
Next TO the black locust for quick
returns is the white mulberry. With
this tree on rich soil only four to five
years are required to grow them large
enough for use, but they seldom make
over one post length to the tree and
Should all be cut at the end of the
seventh year, as they will soon replace
themselves, from two to five shoots
sprouting from the stump.
If left to grow longer than seven
years they will commence putting out
limbs near the ground, spelling the
growth already made.
All land owners should plant some
kind of trees. There is always some

which. if planted to some kind of tim
ber would soon return a profit and
would also improve the looks of the
farm, as nothing adds more to its
beauty than well-kept grove or woods

Every man who has a stable full of
ANIMALS knows what difficult prob
lem is the matter of ventilation. He
months, when the stable is closed
tightly, it is almost impossible to avoid
doors, and that frequently there is a
emil and dampness in the barn which
only disappears when the doors are
opened and the outside air allowed to
come in. This air is something that
we must make arrangements to have if
we expect to have healthy animals.
have found from my years of ex-
perience in the keeping of cows that
about the greatest problem to meet is
the proper ventilation without having
the wind blow directly on the animals
and the keeping of dampness out of
the barn.
Three years ago I decided that the
curtain would answer the same purpose
in the dairy barn that it would in the
henhouse. So following that decision l
began the use of the muslin curtain
and have found the use of the same
quite satisfactory. In fact, l would not
give up the use of them at all.
This may be tested by removing some
of the windows and substituting frames
on which the muslin has been securely
tackled.
1t should not be supposed, however.
that the muslin allows anything like
free play of air The thermometer may
show the temperature to be to 8 de-
grees lower than before the curtains
were installed, but l find that it invar-
iably feels 10 to Is degrees warmer and
the animals appear quite comfortable
and contented

The results of improvements in kill
ing weeds with chemicals, as shown by
the experiments made at the North
Dakota and Wisconsin stations, have
raised a great deal of interest among
farmers.
The improvements so far conducted
indicate that some of the obnoxious
weeds on the farm may be almost, if
not quite, eradicated by the use Of GER
tain chemicals.
At the present time there are not
many spraying machines on the mar
ket adapted to this work, although the
machines that the manufacturers have
so far put out are quite satisfactory.
1t is expected that within another year.
or two the number and variety of these
machines will be largely increased.
The machine used by Professors
Moore and Horton on the Wisconsin
farm is of German make and was
brought to this country in 1906.
1t is important to have machine
strongly built and of the very best con-
struction and capable of using all
kinds of chemicals.
Sulphate of iron, which is perhaps
the most effective chemical used, must
be applied with the right kind of ma
chine in order to produce perfect re-
suits.
1t has been suggested by expert
mentors that farmers might form a
small club to buy one or more machines
to be used jointly, thus saving the ex-
pense and obtaining equally good re-
suits as though each farmer owned his
own machine. Hand sprayers will an
swer for destroying dandelions on the
lawn.
If the chemicals would do nothing
more than destroy the Canada thistle
in this country 1t will have served a
great purpose. This weed is the most
dangerous in all the, list of weed pests
and perhaps the most difficult to over
come.
In thickly infested fields a solution of
20 per cent of sulphate of iron applied
at the rate of about fifty gallons an
acre will kill the thistle. They should
be sprayed Just before the buds begin
to open, when the thistles are from 10
to II inches high, s this prevents them
from going to seed.
The spraying should be repeated once
a year for three years in order to en-
tirely eradicate the thistle.
