cATALPA TREES FROM SEED
Good Wind-Breaks Easily Obtained in
SHIRT Time and at Practically
No Cost.
fsy GEORGE w. BROWN.

fRy GEORGE w. BROWN)
For a number OF years we have
grown this valuable species of decidu-
Gus tree from the seed gathered from
our matured trees and we do it easily.
After the leaves have dropped we
gather the long spike-like pods from
our catalpas and separate the seeds
which are dried out and stored away
with cur other farm seeds. In early
spring when we plant our dwarf peas
in the garden we scatter the catalpa
seeds into the trenches with the seed
peas. ..
About the time the peas are gone
the little eatalpa plants come up nice
ly and by cultivation we can grow
them foot to 18 inches the first year
and we then can set them out the fol-
lowing year in permanent location.
We have a hedge or windbreak
about the west and north sides of our
orchard grown in this manner, and
besides have many growing alongside
the border fences and roadways, and
upon our home grounds, where they
bloom and are very pretty and orna-
mental the whole year with their
broad. attractive leaves and dropping
seed pods foot or more in length.
Some of our friends have tried the
method of scattering the seed In the
woodland or planting it along the
fence rows where trees are wanted.
but field mice rob the seed and fail
ure results.
The catalpa speciosa, or tall-grow-
ing catalpa is what we grow, and it is
easily grown from seed after our
method. If we desire few trees OF
this species for planting no easier
method can be employed than to grow
them ourselves from seed gathered
from the true specosia variety. We
are intending next season to grow a
large quantity for planting into
grove for post timber, as they are val
liable and have out-lasting qualities
above many other varieties of timber
for this purpose.

LIVESTOCK NOTES.

The lamb that cashes in the most
money for its owner is not product
of poverty.
Circumvent the large feed bills by
producing better roughage and grain
on your own farms.
To allow feeders to eat all the corn
they can stow away after reaching
the farm is disastrous.
A little flock well tended on the
small farm we'll titled will rarely dis.
appoint the good shepherd.
Give ewes good pasture and extra
feed just before the breeding season.
Give them extra feed during preg.
nancy.
Tar in sheep troughs is said to be
generally beneficial for sheep at all
seasons, and especially for. grubs in
hot weather.
To get the best financial results
from flock of mutton sheep it is es.
sential that they combine a good
fleece with good "leg of mutton"

KEEPING UP EARTH ROADS
Prevailing System of Repairing High
ways WoefuIly Deficient-No True
Progress Results.

Anyone who has given the subject
even the most cursory examination
will readily agree that the prevailing
system of repairing our earth roads
once d year is woefully deficient. Our
system of maintenance is at the bot
tom O., most of our road trouble and
1t is useless to expect better roads as
long as it remains in vogue. With the
present system our roads deterlorate
to such an extent that all the avail
able road funds are required to put
the road back into as good condition
as it was when last repaired. In this
way our roads remain at standstill
and no TRUE progress results. :
In order to make our roads good
The greater part of the year 2 system
of continuous maintenance must be
adopted. Many have argued that
every farmer should keep in repair a
certain definite piece of road near his
farm but this system, although often
productive of great deal of good, has
never been entirely successful. The
trouble is that the farmer has too
uluCu Important pIlNdCc UuoluOoo "
attend to and cannot always give the
road his attention when the condition
of the. road requires it. Then too this
system is against the tendency of the
times which is for division of labor
and intense specialization.
The present day farmer is a special
list in the true sense of the word. He
no longer concerns himself about the
making of his shoes, clothing, tools or
other equipment; he no longer wor-
ries about the bringing of his mail
and the time is coming when he
should no longer bother about the d.
rect maintenance of his roads.
The farmers mail is brought to his
door and he takes it as matter of
fact, stopping to consider the system
which brings 1t there only when the
mail for some reason or other fails to
appear. Likewise the ideal system of
road maintenance is one by which the
roads are kept in repair as auto
matically but as surely as the deliv-
cry of the rural mail.

Dairying and Soil Fertility.

No other branch of agriculture pre-.
sents more advantages than dairyina
-disposing of these products of the
farm as milk AID butterfat. When
the latter may be sold to creamery
stations and the skim milk fed to
calves and pigs along with alfalfa the
profits are greater than from almost
any other form of agriculture.
No other business tends SO rapidly
to build up the fertility of the farm.
and, when judiciously conducted, no
other branch of farming yields more
satisfactory financial returns. Raising
and feeding alfalfa will add from Is
to 80 per cent. to the profits of dairy.
ing over the use of any other feedstuff
that may be raised or bought. The
profit problem for the dairyman is con,
stantly to find the feed that will de-
crease the cost OF his production.

Poultry Manure for Orchards.

Adjoining our poultry building Is an
apple orchard Of II acres. Under each
tree we have been putting about
bushel Of poultry manure, says a wri-
ter in an exchange. We have planned,
however, to build a cement floor
building which will hold several loads
Of manure. We use land plaster on the
propping board and clean frequently.
when we will get two or three loads
and we draw out and spread on the
field. The litter In our buildings is ia
ken out every three weeks and spread
directly on the field.

sheep.RaIsInu pava.

Farms where sheep are depended
upon for the big end Of the income
are quite scarce this side of the Mis-.
sissippi. But farms where sheep show
net profits that they are never given
credit for are numerous. The man
who has kept flock Of 40 or so ewes
all his life seldom realizes how much
they contribute to bis bank account
and to the looks Of his farm until he
gets sore on the wool trust" and gets
out. He's generally found, getting

(Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
L AM very glad l lived in the year
1909, for number of reasons, some
n of which l will tell you.
First, there was the long step toward
the perfection of the aeroplane for
which l am very glad, for if they get
them perfected it will be great help
to all the nations on the globe.
Then there was the invention of the
wireless telephone, which ought to be
a great help to eastern states; for in
some of those storms which get the
wires all down they could still send
messages with it.
| am also glad I lived in that year
because of two of the grandest trips l
have ever taken were taken in that
year. One was the trip to Mount Ia
malpais, which. is just across the bay
from San Francisco, and the other was
a trip up into the big trees would
tell you all about them if l had room.
Another reason | am glad to nave
lived in that year is because it was in
that year we began taking The Herald.
Then, again, it was in 1909 the north
pole was discovered.

ENJOYED BIG PARADES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I have several reasons to be glad of
that I have lived in the year 1909. Ny
main reason is that that year l started
to write to Aunt Laurie and the Herald
Junior and | received one book for
three honorable mentions, which was
indeed a pleasure.
Another reason is that in the fail of
the year my dear grandmother came
from her home in Tennessee to live with
us. Another reason was that during
the year our president, William II.
Taft. visited our city and l had the
privilege of seeing him.
Another reason was that the Ellls' re-
union was held here and | was able to
