appeal to congress for funds to con-

which all thinking men and women
will approve, President Taft pointed
out that the people of the country ms
whole are interested chiefly in the
following governmental Objects The
national defense. the protection Of per-
sons and property. the promotion Of
friendly relations and the protection of
American interests abroad. the regua-
ton Of commerce and industry. the
promotion Of agriculture, fisheries. for

including postal savings banks and
parcels post; the care and utilization of
the public domain. the promotion of
education, art and science and recrea-
ton; the promotion of public health
and the care and education of the In
dams and other wards of the nation
There are many other public quesions,c
of course. but these are the vital and
comprehensive ones, and the budget
is proposed for the purpose of giving
Information as to the needs Of these
matters. The president in order that
his policy of economy and efficiency
may be concluded and become one Of
the greatest achievements Of his ad

What President Taft Did.
As soon as President Taft took Office
this system ceased. At tho outset Pres
ident Taft impressed upon his cabinet
officials the absolute necessity of econ

run the government efficiently in their

President Taft more than any Of his
predecessors In the White House has
given strict attention to placing the
government upon business basis as
regards It's receipts and expenditures.
Economy and efficiency became one Of
the cardinal policies Of his administra
tion as soon as he entered upon the
presidency. and 1t was we'll for tho
country that this was so. for his ad
ministration inherited a deficit In the
treasury of $5S.000,0O0. which has now
been transformed into n surplus Of
S3O.O00.000. The average citizen and
taxpayer will be interested IN this
fact. because the problem which con-
fronted the president at the outset. al
though upon gigantic scale, was
similar to that of the ordinary shop
keeper or business man. farmer or
wage Garner or even housewife who
is called upon to make both ends
meet" either in business or in the
home.

is called upon every year to submit to
congress in December the Estimates"

next fiscal year. beginning the follow

had seen in years. This was followed
by reduction In appropriations to cor

President Taft was not. however
satisfied that all had been done that
could be done. He realized that the
departments of the government. like
individuals. are naturally prone TO be
proud of their own achievements and
by reason of their familiarity with
their own endeavors oftep insisted
that their work was more important
than the work of the other depart
ments. relatively speaking In order
to correct that evil he asked congress
to give him 100000 for commission

fits Is the fact that an evergreen wind
break affords protection for birds the
year around.
The cost Of planting a windbreak
need not be excessive. Three year-old
once transplanted stock with good
thrifty roots is the youngest stock that
should be used. Trees of this age
give best results because they with
stand the shock of lifting. change of
soil and handling much better than
older trees. Such stock should cost
from IS to So per thousand.
The ground where the windbreak Is
to stand should be plowed and cropped
one year before setting out the trees.
This treatment makes regular cultiva-
ton possible until the trees are too
large to work. Grass should not be al
lowed to grow about the young trees if
rapid. healthy growth is desired.
