TREES ON PUBLIC STREETS
New York Authority Would Have Mu'
inequalities Take UP Work OF
Planting and Care.

The New York State college OF for
estry at Syracuse university is urging
the municipalities of the state to take
up public control of street tree plant
ing and preservation in the same man
ner as public control is exercised over
other street improvements. During
the last year the college has made in
vestigation of the shade trees In many
cities and towns Of the state, including
New York city,, Syracuse, Binghamton,
Amsterdam, Mt. Vernon, Newburg
and Olean. 1t has been found that
thousands of shade trees are dying
along the streets Of the cities due to
past mistakes in selection of varieties
and in spacing the trees at the time
of planting.
Within the cities of the state there
are, it is said, 10000 miles Of street
capable of sustaining a growth OF
100000 shade trees, which can be
made worth 100000 900 in increased
property value. Buffalo spends an
nually about $4,000 for planting and
conservation of shade trees along Its
public streets.
Almost half of the land area of New
York state is better suited, it is said,
to the growing Of timber than to ag-
riculture. Agriculture alone cannot
solve the land problems of the state.
Forestry and agriculture are co-or-
dinate, and together will bring about
the most effective utilization of the
soils of the state and of the country.

WHITE LEGHORNs ARE BEST
tPuIlet Is Quickly Brought to Maturity
and Soon Starts Laying-White
Eggs In Demand.

'Why are White Leghorns good
birds to own?" 1 would say, that,
profit being the aim of the commercial
poultryman, the well-bred White Leg
horn of good laying strain seems best
to meet his need.
The Leghorn pullet Is quickly
drought to maturity, and if of good
strain quickly goes to work for her
!owner. To be sure, If she is hatched
very early she may molt slightly, but
she will have laid pretty nearly
enough eggs to pay for herself by the
time the molt comes, and with proper
care she is laying again in few
weeks.
White eggs bring the highest price
and are in growing demand. That is

TUBERCULOSIS IN OLD FOWLS
More Likely to Be Affected by Dis
ease Than Young stock-Make
Two Years the Age Limit.

!, It is found at the North Dakota sta
ton, that old chickens are more likely
to be affected by tuberculosis than
young stock. This is fowl consump'
ton, the disease sometimes called
"goipg light"
Old birds should not be kept any
way. It is recommended that such
stock be killed off and only young
stock kept, two years being the age
limit.
The disease spreads faster among
poultry kept in poorly lighted and
poorly ventilated houses, as Is the
case with human beings.

PAYS TO. GUARD THE TREES
Either on Street or Lawn, 1t Is Mis-
take to Leave the Saplings
Unprotected.

Young trees, especially street trees,
should be protected and supported by
tree guards placed around them imme-
diately after planting. For. street
trees, wire or metal guard is most
economical. For lawn trees, single
stake firmly driven into the soil Is
usually sufficient. Leather or canvas
straps should be used to attach the
tree to the support.
Cultivation of the soil for three feet
around the tree is beneficial during the
first years of growth. Loosen the top
soil with spade or hoe a sufficient
number Of times during the season tc
keep down weeds and grass. A mulch
of leaves or manure in the fall retains
moisture and acts as a fertilizer when
spaded under. During the hot dry
periods of the summer months, water
ing should be done once or twice each
week, not oftener. The feeding roots
which take up the moisture are at a
distance from the trunk equal to the
length of the branches, and the water
should be applied literally, but not
too frequently, to these feeding roots.

Value of Souashes.

! Some poultrymen believe in feeding
small squashes to give body or bulk to
the mashes. They say that this result.
ing mixture is found very satisfactory,
and seems to be particularly palatable
mot cnly for fowls, but also for dogs
and cats.

Improvement Of the facilities, ac-

best information the trustees are able to
obtain from state inspectors and other
reliable sources we have one of the most

Senator Nose e. Clapp, progressive
! republican of Minnesota, snubbed
| President Wilson the other day when
| he was invited to the White Hohse to
talk over the ship purchase bill, over
which there has been the most in
teresting fight in which the president
goes in Washington, Senator Clapp
was called to the White House with
two or three other republican pro-
gressiyes whom the president was
trying to capture for his ship pur-
chase bill. Senator Clapp saw the
president alone and waited only long
enough to hear Mr.. Wilson mention
the subject of the ship purchase bill
Then he told the president that he
could not discuss that matter and in
timated clearly that he disapproved
Of executive interference i'll legisla-
tive matters,
Senator Clapp said the views which
he now holds were expressed by him
in speech delivered last session
In that speech Senator Clapp said
among other things:
"Since | entered this chamber no
man has been the keeper Of my con
science, and high as | hold a seat in
this great body | will retire to private
life before any man shall hecore the
keeper Of my conscience on ray judg-
ment | have perhaps his advantage
over some, that | took this position
when the party I was then in har-
mony with was in power. and I can
speak for the freedom of declaration
and purpose of Il senate"
In the same speech Senate C1app
said.

rising to the dignity of ambassadors
Of their states, shall take their re-
sponsbility for legislation and accept
the declarations OF no man. whether
he be within or without the White
House The danger OF this one man
power Is that no matter how true,
how pure, how ideal a man may be in

LEGISLATIVE MONSTRosITy

clyde Robbins is a young man.
He is member of the legislature
Athens over in East Texas is his
home town.
Mr.. Robbins is inexperienced in
the realm of legislation. He is a
theorist.
Just now this Athens representa-
tive is gaining a little newspaper
notoriety through the medium of a
bill which he has introduced in the
Legislature to curb the .rapacious
corporations" In this bill Mr.. Rob
pins seems to have handed the legis-
iature package. He has sent away
to Boston or New York or some other
place in the effete east for copy of
a public utilities law which was
evidently written by man who
knows little OF the practical side of
Industrial enterprises. The bill rs
proposed by Mr.. Robbins would not
only curb corporations but it would
put a great many concerns out of
business completely.
The bill is a monstrosity. It is
so hedged about with red tape that
the practicability of its operation
would be nullified. Then besides
the olll does not even attempt to de-
Ene public utilities corporation.
This within itself would render the
bill imperative.
one Of the most objectionable fea-
lures to the bill is that it proposes to
create additional offices through a
public utilities commission with "a
fat salary attachment. AS we under
stand it this commission would have
the power to fix arbitrary rates and
send out inspectors to examine the
books of corporations who would be
for such service. Then there would
be retinue of clerks and steno-
graphers to be paid by the state in
order to carry On the work of the
commission.
Another serious objection TO the
proposed bill is in its tendency to des-
troy the prerogatiye of "home rule"
by cities in that it proposes to place
all municipality owned utilities under
the arbitrary control of the commits
sion. Such law would deprive
cities of the right to govern their
own affairs, and place same under the
authority Of a ring of politicians in
whose selection the people would
have no choice.
The legislature will act wisely if
Il defeats the Robbins bill.

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if YOU feel Blackjack,

Meat forms uric acid which ex-

you to get up two or three times

used for generations to clean and
