GOOD QUALITY OF MATERIAL
Duty Of Officials in Charge Of Road
Construction to Know That Moth
ing Is Being Omitted.

II is utterly useless to endeavor TO
make good roads out of poor ma
terials. Poor materials shrewdly han.
died may make what appear to be
good roads, but such roads will not
stand the test of time. Use a poor
quality of cement and deterioration Of
the road will follow. but perhaps not
until the cement maker and the con
tractor have been paid. Use unfit
gravel and unsatisfactory results
must be expected.
II Is therefore the duty Of officials
in charge of road construction TO
know that good materials are being
used, that proper drainage is being
provided for. that foundations are suf.
ficient and that nothing is being
omitted which will contribute to a
good and lasting result
In this undertaking taxpayers re.
siding along the highway I'm which a
road is being built can be of great aid
to officials, for II is possible, in fact.
II Is their duty, TO religiously and con
stantly observe the work and 70 at
once report anything which is wrong.

PLANTING, PRUNING
AND CARE OF TREES
Cut Off All Dead Wood or Imper-
feet GroWth-Have Branches
Eight Inches Long.

Do not have the trees come unit.
you are ready to put them in the
ground. When they arrive, soak the
roots little while in cold water, then
examine carefully and cut off every
damaged root. All dead wood or i'm
perfect growth should be cut of just
before the first outbranching rootlet-
Cut from the under side in a slanting
direction, so that the exposed surface
will come in contact with the ground.
In trimming the tree, do not leave
any branch more than eight inches
long. The practice of cutting back to
within two or three feet, particularly
on very young trees, is growing and
usually gives satisfactory results.
In western Washington, where fruit
growing now has become a great in
dustry, yearling trees are planted moro
than any other. They are cut down
to about one-third of their growth and
are every year trimmed to grow low
spreading branches. Most of the ap-
pies in that country are picked by
men standing on the ground-ladders
seldom being necessary.
Professor Bailey says that vigorous
pruning does not injure the growth of
the tree. OF course this does not mean
discriminating slashing of roots or
top but pruning made with care and
good judgment. If the weak roots and
branches are cut off, more strength
goes to the sound ones. and better re-
suits are obtained.
Probably the best results come from
pruning the orchard rather vigorously
every two or three years, but IL one is
not an expert at pruning and cannot
obtain the right sort of help, better let
the trees alone until they can be prop
erly pruned, even IL this can be done
only once every three or four years.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1915-09-23

A truss consisting of an iron rod or
chain properly placed connecting the
opposing limbs and trunk or two diff.
ferent limbs-as the case may be
will save the tree. Use a five-eighths-
inch rod of proper length amply
threaded at each end for a nut. A
strip of board tackled transversely on
the limbs in the location in which the
rod is to go will serve as means Of
acquiring the proper length of rod and
the angle at which holes are to be
bored. Holes should be bored with a
three-quarter-inch auger or bit, the
size being larger than the rod will
facilitate the pushing through of the
rod. If the holes are counter-sunk
where nuts come by means of a gouge
chisel, it will make better finish be-
cause the growing cambium will grow
over nut and cover work smoothly.
In using a chain instead of a rod
1t is really the simpler method-a
screwhook, such as is used for a
horse hayfork, is turned into one limb
from side facing opposite limb. A
short rod amply threaded at one end
for nut with a hook at other end is
inserted through drilled hole in OPP
posite limb from near side and nut
screwed on rod from outside Of that
limb. Then the chain, which is long
linked, is caught over these hooks
when screwing UP of nut gives de-
sired tension to chain.
Two dollars worth of time and ma
terial should suffice to apply such a
truss and thus be the means of saw
ing tree worth from five to fifty dol
lars.
The metal may be painted with
bridge paint in order to preserve and
add to the appearance.

One OF the biggest leaks in orchard
ing is the failure to support mechani-
cally weak trees. Annually many val
liable apple trees are seriously dam
aged by splitting apart OF trunks,
writes G. F. Bley of New York in Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer. OF
these a considerable portion are ut
terly ruined While the majority OF
these trees have reached the stage Of
incipient decay, their lives and use
fitness could have been prolonged
many years by means that are at
once simple, inexpensive and efficient.
II should be understood that beyond
furnishing mechanical support the
heart-wood of a tree is functionless
and its decay does not affect its vege-
tative action, nor its fruitfulness.
Thus we justify providing artificial
support and the application Of tree
dentistry. Nor is the breaking apart
of tree trunk necessarily caused by
decay, or by storms, but more often
by bad formation of its framework.
A double trunk or two-pronged
crotched tree is predestined to de-
struction for the simple reason that
the strain is concentrated at a COM
paratively limited area--the point of
union of the two trunks.
Again many instances will be found
of bad head formation in which an
excess number of framework limbs
were permitted to persist Between
these limbs and the trunk at their
basal union, one or more of them by
their lateral growth gradually ill their
respective crotches, where il creates
a wedge-like pressure. In time this
pressure forces a splitting apart Of
the trunk, resulting in the loss of the
tree.

TILLAGE AND COVER
CROPS IN ORCHARDS
Fruit Trees Are Often Injured by
Root Freezing During Cold
Months of Winter.

The effect OF tillage and cover
crops on the orchard are similar in
some respects, but tillage adds moth
ing to the amount of plant food In the
soil, through it influences the fertil-
ity of the land so that more food Is
made available for the growing trees.
A well-managed system Of cover crops
will accomplish all that tillage can
and at the same time add to the store
of the plant food that will be avail
able for the trees.
Fruit trees are often injured by root
freezing during the winters. In the
northern ATTITUDES this is one of the
most important reasons for keeping
the soil covered in the winter. The
influence of a cover crop in protecting
the roots from frost is very important.
On soil that is rolling or on hill
sides 1t will be found almost impos-
sible to maintain any degree of fer
tility in the orchard without the use
OF cover crops. 1t will not only pre-
vent the soil from washing away but
will also hold the fertilizers from
washing and prevent the leaves from
blowing away.
The saving of plant food is also an
important function OF cover crop.
When the cold weather arrests the
growth of trees there is considerable
available plant food that may be vast
ed on account of the trees not being
able to consume 1t at that time. This
may be saved by the cover crop and
held until such time as it is desired
to have it give 1t up or when the
cover crop decays in the following
spring.
The ideal system OF managing or
chard lands in the northern and mid
die states is perhaps most nearly APP
preached when the soil is stirred In
the early spring, as early as prac-
ticable and as deep as IL can be and
not injure the roots; cultivate in this
manner until the trees are budded,
then seeded with a cover crop which
will grow until autumn and be turned
under the following spring, and the
same method practiced again.
In some sections of the apple coun-
try a cover crop is used the year that
the trees are due to produce a large
crop, so as to form bed for the APP
pies to fall upon and keep them clean
and free from mud.
The next year, when the trees are

Bees.
Michigan is notably a honey pro-
ducing state. In 1910 bees were re-
ported on 1892 farms or 81 per
cent Of the whole number. There
were 1924 colonies, valued at $446,-
AGA. In 1909 Michigan produced o.
507,S10 pounds of honey and 2S,524
pounds of wax, with total valuation
of $296,742 (ranking second). Michi-
gan's tree, crop, wild plant and weed
growth is of a character eminently
suited for honey production, furnish
ing an ever-changing source of supply
throughout the season.
The following rating gives the rela-
tive position Of Michigan among other
states regarding both numbers and
valuations of Michigan's live stock
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1915-09-23

during the past two decades, there
has occurred an indiscriminate admiX-
ture of the blood of both beef and
dairy breeds. which produced a lack of
uniformity in conformation and func-
ton that will require years of good
breeding to overcome. The proper
conditions prevail and indications at
present point strongly to a revival OF
beef production in Michigan, but on
an entirely different basis from that
originally followed. Alfalfa, clover,
corn and ensilage, feeds which have
made the dairy of the state are equal
ly well suited for meat making. Dur
ing the past two decades educational
influences of all classes reaching the
farmers, have been busily engaged
stimulating dairy production, while
the beef growing business has re-
ceived little or no attention. The op-
portunities for producing beef, NUT
ton and wool by grazing on the cut
over timber lands and lighter soils of
the state, will open large possibilities
as soon as the proper methods of pro-
are
Swine.
Swine were reported on 63.6 per
cent of Michigan farms in 1910, to
the number Of 1,245,S33 head, valued
at $9,755,042. It may be difficult for
this state, except for the southerly
tiers of counties, to compete on an
even basis with the corn belt in the
production of lard type hogs. On the
other hand, however, with our abun-
dant supplies of dairy by-products,
Iegumes, cereals, corn and root crops,
we have conditions eminently adapted
to the production of the choicest ba-
con, an industry as yet scarcely begun.
Sheep.
Sheep and lambs In 1910 numbered
2,306,476 head, valued at $9,646,565,
but were reported from only 26.5 per
cent OF the farms of the state. Michi-
gan has long been famous as q sheep
breeding and feeding state, occupying
a place in the front rank as regards
numbers and values up to the time of
the opening up of the western ranges.
Ab DlCbuiuS SWSS WGIG I6pOIlcu VII
54.146 farms, the indications point to
the maintenance in fair degree of
sheep breeding operations in the older
settled portions of the state, despite
the large use of western feeding
stocks in our fattening pens. Consid-
ering the total area of the state avail
able for grazing purposes, and the fact
that the sheep thrives on waste mate
rails and by-products, there is still be-
fore us great possibility for the de-
velopment of the sheep industry.
Poultry.
The number OF farms In Michigan
in 1910 reporting poultry, amounted
to 91.5 per cent, with total valuations
of $5.610.95S. This sum, representing
values of stocks only on farms,
amounts to over half the total valua.
tions of sheep or swine, and repre-
sents a very valuable asset as the re-
turns from the farm poultry flock are
almost clear gain throughout the year,
procuring a living largely from what
would otherwise be waste material.
The total number of fowls raised In
the state in 1909, including cities,
towns, and villages, was 1857, 537
head. valued at s6,191,44O. The egg
production for 1909 was 5s,915,S51
dozens, worth s11.7S4,7ss. There Is
