Mr.. TAFT EXPECTS
CORPORATION TAX
Continued from First PaSe)

L
ury for the original s4O.OoO,OoO paid for
the Panama canal by the issue and sale
of $4O,OOOOOO of Panama canal bonds.
The Payne bill also conferred on the Sec
retary Of the Treasury authority to issue
S..5OO)0,0GO per cent certificates of in
debtedness to meet public expenditures.
Under the authority of former laws Sec
cretary MacVeagh may issue Panama
canal bonds to meet the expenses of the
canal Senator Aldrich had all this
stricken out. He some time ago issued a
statement saying that he did not think
it would be wise 20 enact the provisions
of the Payne bill pending the final. report
of the monetary commission and probable
financial legislation at the regular session
of Congress. He thought 1t probable that
the Treasury would be able to meet eX-
oenditures until winter by the addition
Of such cash as 1t would get in from the
sale of Panama canal bonds for construc-
ton purposes. This could be done TO the
extent Of $4,000 600 or S4O,OO0,OOO, and
would tide the Treasury over for five or
six months, with the working balance on
hand.
Bonds Selling Low.
1t has been suggested that the part of
the Payne bill authorizing the issue of
$40 600 On0 bonds for reimbursement
should be allowed to become law. The
sale of these bonds, together with the
sale of others for construction purposes
would place the Treasury upon a firm
basis.
Opposed to this suggestion. however. is
the fact that United States and Panama
canal 2 per cent bonds are selling lower
now than for years, and the putting upon
the market of any large amount of these
bonds would still further reduce the price
making 1t doubtful whether par could be
obtained BY issuing short-term certifi-
Gates and deferring the sale of Panama
bonds until a later period the price to
be derived from the securities might be
much greater. These phases of the ques-
ton were discussed this afternoon
Opposed to Williams Orders.

BARK BEETLES DO
MUCH DAMAGE
Two Species Iniure Peach and
Cherry Trees-HoSv TO
Eradicate Them.

Last year two species of bark
beetles caused great damage to peach
and cherry trees in various quarters
of the state. especially in northern
Ohio on the Marblehead peninsula.
One species. Scolytus rugulosus, com
monty known as the shot hole borer.
is an old offender and attacks nearly
all varieties of fruit trees and some
forest trees. The second species.
Phloeotribus liminaris. which has
been called the peach bark beetle is a
comparatively new pest and largely
confines its injuries to cherry and
peach. The work of the two species is
very similar. The adult beetles bore
through places in the bark of living
or dead trees. into dead peach or
cherry wood piled up for stovewood
into the twigs of brush heaps or into
any suitable wood upon which they
chambers.
When they enter the living sapwood
of peach and cherry and make gal
leries through the same. their pres
ence is nearly always Indicated by ex-
cessive exudations of gum from the
infested trunks and limbs. Weakened
trees are preferred by the beetles
but those in perfect health may be so
repeatedly attacked that they finally
ofrer the right conditions for breeding
and the insects then mass their at
tack on the exhausted trees, making
short work of their final destruction
Trees are often practically destroyed
before their owners become aware

We know that if hens spend the

ailments among the fowls?
Poultrymen all over the world have
reached the conclusion that the colony
system is the best for poultry Fowls
kept confined in small houses and
yards lose their vigor and vitality;
those grown on the range are much
more vigorous and show greater vi
tality than yarded fowls.

MODERN HEN HOUSES X
AND COLONY SYSTEM BEST
Practical Poultry and
improvements
Results

Since the first open-frout poultry
house was brought to the notice of
breeders great many changes and
improvements have been made says a
writer in the Country Gentleman Too
much and too little ventilation has
been tried; too much is as bad as too
little. The one necessary feature is to
provide the proper supply of fresh air
The small building is 20 feet long
and IL feet wide. This has two glass
windows in the front, each window
containing 10 panes of x10-inch glass
In the center, there is a large open
space ten feet long and four feet
wide; inside of this is a roll curtain
made of cotton duck, which is left
open during all kinds of weather. ex-
cepting wet and below zero The
nests are in the rear; one is open and
the other closed. The eggs are gath
cred from the front through the nest
door. The hens fly up from the floor
on to a board or platform, called the
alighting board. and enter the nests
from the rear.
We do not wish to criticise this
house; we simply call attention to the
fact that with so large opening, the
hens on the roosts at night are almost
as much exposed as they would be out
in the open. The curtain is rolled
down and fastened with hooks and
eyelets about the inside OF the frame.
The question to be settled satisfac-
torily is whether the hens in house
like this. with the window open night
and day in all kinds of weather ex
ceptfng rain, snow or below zero
weather, will be sufficiently comfort
able to produce eggs in winter. The
second question is, if exposed to the
open-air conditions during the greater
