TREES ALONG COUNTRY ROADS
Not Only Useful as Shade to Stock In
Fields but Add Greatly to Beauty
CT Thoroughfares.

At recent farmers institute meet
ing the planting Of trees along the
country roads was advocated. 1t is
a plan worthy Of consideration every
where Trees beside country high
ways are not of less value and i'm
portance than along the streets OF
city. They are not only useful as
shade to the stock in the fields and
to those who travel along the roads.
but they add greatly to the beauty of
the thoroughfares and are distinct
asset to the farmers by increasing
the attractiveness Of their land, says
an Illinois writer In Farmers Re
view.
The theory Of the speaker was that
the trees should be planted inside of
The road boundaries and not on the
farm land. and that the planting should
be done as part of the road improve
ment at public expense or by local or
ganizations out Of common fund.
The work would have to be done with
system, of course, and provision made
for the care Of the trees once they
were planted, but this system could
easily be worked out. Objection
might be raised in some quarters that
shaded roads would not dry out cas-
lily after rains and would. therefore,
be muddy at inconvenient times, but
the proper training and trimming OF
the trees would remedy this difficulty.
Every one, even the farmer with
out a shade tree on his premises. ad-
mirs the attraction of shaded road
On hot summer day. Every traveller
on such a day greets bit of woods
or an overhangng orchard as an oasis
in a desert land and wishes that 1t
stretches on for miles. The occasion
al land owner who has lined his side
Of the road with shade trees-or even
with fruit trees-is regarded by the
traveller as q good Samaritan and
blessings go out to him. The time
will come, perhaps, when trees along
the country roads are desirable and
essential and their absence will show
lack Of PR +, enterprise In the COM
munity

IN THE MIDST OF BATTLE.

The temperance cause started out
well-nigh alone, but mighty forces
have joined US in the long march. We
are now in the midst of the Waterloo
battle. and in the providence Of God
the temperance army will not have to
fight that out all by itself. For sci
ence has come up with it's glittering
contingent, political economy deploys
its leglons, the woman question brings
an Amazonlan army upon the field,
and the stout ranks Of labor stretch
away as far as the eye can reach. AS
In the old Waterloo against Napoleon,
30 now against the Napoleon OF the
liquor traffic, no force is adequate ex-
cept the allied forces. Frances e.

Death Rate in All
Civilized Countries
Steadily Decreases

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. Jan. S.-The
national conference on race betterment
opened here today with 300 representa-
tive men OF science and education present.
DIR. J. II. Kellogg, in announcing the
plans Of the conference. gave credit for
its suggestion to Or. Newell Dwight
Hills OF Brooklyn and Prof. Irving
Fisher of Yale university, DR.. c. G.
Creegan Of Fargo. N. D., was chosen
chairman OF the sessions.
DR.. Stephen Smith. the 92-year-old pres
ident OF the conference, spoke briefly at
the opening the session. He predicted a
new era in the treatment Of the insane,
criminals and degenerates. He said this
reform would come through a scientific
study of brain cell formation. Other
speakers today were Frederick L. Hoff-
man OF Newark. N. j.; DR.. Louis f.
Bishop Of Fordham university. New York,
and Dr. Cressy l.. Wiiber of the bureau
of census.
On the basis of available statistics from
civilized countries, Mr.. Hoffman esti-
mated the worlds birthrate at 34.3 per
l,ooe and the death rate at $50. leaving
an annual rate OF increase OF 9,s for each
1000 of population.
THE present rate OF natural increase, -
he said. " is certain to grow IL the down
ward tendency of the death rate is fur
ther augmented by sanitary improve
ment. particularly in the case of unciv-
ilized countries and primitive races"
Mr.. Hoffman declared that during the
last thirty years the death rate for Eng
land and Wales had decreased from 1S4
TO 147; that of the German empire from
3.3 to 1T9; that of American cities from
231 to 1852. There is no question of
doubt concerning the general improve
ment in health conditions throughout the
world" Mr.. Hoffman declared. For fur
ther Improvement in race conditions he
had the following suggestions as points
to bear in mind
The Importance OF the conservation OF
the food producing natural resources OF
the world; the necessity for improved
methods OF agriculture; the required re-
duction OF economic waste pressing
need of rational town planning and Inn
proved methods OF housing; education in
practical domestic economy: rational con-
troll OF marriage and divorce and i'm.
proved methods of general education.
"If the prolongatlon OF life is to be
really worth while." concluded Mr.. Hoff-
man, the present disharmonies of hu-
man existence must be as far as possible
eliminated. Whatever changes for good
may result from improved methods OF
production from increased earnings and
shorter hours of labor, they will all be
of small consequence unless balanced by
an even greater advance in the moral
intellectual and spiritual types Of the
generation which is yet to be-"
