Over 5000 Miles Of Road.

According to the State High
way News, the only news paper
published on Capitol Hill, the
State Highway Department in
the working season just closed
maintained 8,262.6S miles out of
the total mileage of 10,200 miles
in Pennsylvania state system.
This statement, which is based
on the reports of engineers in the
department, shows the greatest
amount of maintenance work
ever done in the State. Practic-
ally all the work of the depart
ment this year was maintenance
and in addition to the vast mile
age covered 396.99 miles were
resurfaced.
The detail of the maintenance
work shows 5,S24.45 miles of
earth roads dragged or scraped,
1904 of stone or hard surfaced
roads and 557.75 miles of flint,
gravel and shale roads dressed
up. This mileage is greater than
the diameter of the earth and
only roads of minor Importance
have not been gone over.

NUMBER IA
HAVEN'T TIME.
Little Talks On Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.


The season for good resolutions
is approaching. Within a fort
night thousands of men and wo-
men will have resolved to begin
the new year with a definite pur-
pose of looping of some bad hab-
it or commencing some effort at
self improvement.
Human happiness so largely
depends upon health that many
of these resolutions will center
upon conditions relating to per-
sonal welfare. 1t is not so diff
cult in this age of self education
to analyze our habits and discov-
er where our weaknesses lie.
Neither is it beyond the majority
of US to plan sensible course
which if adhered to would bring
about Improvement. The task
lies in adhering to the plans that
we have made.
Perhaps the most common plea
which we make to excuse failure
to carry out our good intentions
is the want of time. 81 haven't
time" has grown to be one of the
commonest of phrases. There is
no question about it this is arap-
id age we live in. The possibili-
ties for accomplishment are great
what we lack is time.
The man of business knows he
needs more physical exercise and
appreciates the fact that he feels
the better for it but denies him.
self because he hasn't time. We
lack time to eat properly, to think
properly, to rest properly. Twen-
ty-four hours seems too short a
day for many of us and what is
the result?
Continually pleading the lack
of time we rush from one thing
to another and in the end the ao-
gregate of accomplishment is lit
tie enough to boastof.
Our clocks seem to be ticking
at the rate of one hundred and
twenty seconds to the minute but
still the hour hand crawls at the
same old pace. Unquestionably
the majority of US would be hap
pier and healthier if we cultivat-
ed repose. Tranquility is becom-
ing lost art and as a result dis
turbing nervous complaints are
far more frequent than formerly.
The cultivation of composure
need not mean a reduction in our
ability to achieve results. 1t is
almost certain to insure us time
through application for the many
things which will make life bet
ter worth the living.

FULTON COUNTY FOREST FIRES.
Burned Over and Area Of 1860 Acres,
Did S6,5OO.OO Damage, and Cost
the State S556.5S.

Forest fire statistics have been
complied by the Pennsylvania
Department of Forestry for Full
ton county 1915. They show
that eight fires burned within
the county during the year, COW
ering 1850 acres of forest land,
and doing damage estimated at
$6.5 The Department spent
1886. So in extinguishing the fire.
All but one of the fires occurred
between April l and May l, the
largest burning over 1000 acres
in Brush Creek township.
The causes are given as follows
carelessness of fishermen and
hunters, 2; burning brush on dry
days, 1; traction engine without
spark arrester, l; incendiary, q:
unknown, 2.
Under the act passed at the
last session of the Legislature
the Department has established
a new bureau of forest protection
to have special charge Of. the
forest fire situation. The new
bureau will work along the lines
of fire prevention instead of
specializing on the extinguishing
of fires after they have been
started. The forest fire warden
system of the State is now being
reorganized with this end in

~ VIII hciP you inW .
ion. -
The man who goes to church
doesn't have to wait long for his
reward in the next world. He
gets it right here. If you are an
employe you may rest assured
that you will not lose any caste
with your employer when he
learns that you are regular at
tendant at church. If you are
engaged in business, people will
trade with you more readily if
you go to church. They rightly
figure that a merchant who goes
to church regularly is honest.
They feel that unless he is a
great hypocrite the merchant
who goes to church will deal
fairly.
The doctor who is a regular at
tendant at church can be trusted.
His patients know that. in addi-
tion to his skill as a physician, he
is sober, dependable God fearing.
1t is plain that a physician who
is a regular church goer soon
earns the confidence of the COM
munity. The same rule applies
to the doctor. 1t applies to all
professional men.
1t must be perfectly clear then
that, no matter what your station
in life may be, you will be a
ready winner if you go to church.
The material benefits of going to
church must be of benefit to
everyone. Who will deny the
spiritual benefits? Everybody
can lay up lasting treasures. Get
the GO TO CHURCH habit. 1t
is the very best habit that you
can acquire.
GO TO CHURCH yourself !
Induce your friends to GO TO
CHURCH.

MuIchiug Helps Trees.

statement that trees can be well
mulched SO that the roots will be
thoroughly protected, and the
bases of the trunks will likewise
be protected by the mulching ma
terial, and at the same time mice
can be kept, away from them.
This is very important horti-
culture point, as the practice
among orchardists has been to
draw the mulching, litter or deb
ris away from the trees during
the winter, so as not to barbor
mice that would gnaw the bark.
This exposure of the base of the
trunk, and uncovering the roots
induces winter freezing, which
Injuries the tree, and helps to in
duce collar blight or collar rot of
apple, hear and ounce, and to
bring about conditions resulting
in frost collar injury and yellows
of the peach.
If trees are we'll mounded with
earth after the mulch is removed.
they will be protected from the
rigors of the winter, but if not
so mouuded it is a mistake to re-
move the mulch from them, and
now that the ground is frozen,
and earth is not available for
mounding, it is advisable either
to use ashes for mounding, or to
replace the mulch close to the
trunks of the trees. Coal ashes
or leached wood ashes can be
used around trees of any kind
with good advantage.
The organic material used as a
mulch has a very decided effect
in helping to keep the trunks and
roots warm. Where such mulch
is present the feeding roots have
a greater tendency to come near
the surface, than where it is alb
sent, and this causes more dam
age through root freezing after
the mulch is removed. There
fore, it should be replaced, and
the crown and roots of trees
should be kept warm and proper
ly protected.
To keep the mice from gnaw-
ing the trees under the mulch,
all that is necessary is to use
plenty of lime-sulfur solution
with some sediment present. The
sediment that is left after boiling
lime-sulfur solution for spraying
purposes is excellent for this,
and can be we'll diluted with wa
ter, so as to be like thin white
wash. A good way to apply it is
to pour it out of a sprinkling can
after removing the sprinkle nose
or nozzle. And one pound of ar
senate of lead (about one ounce
in five gallons) to one gallon of
the lime sulfur wash. with some
sediment present. Stir it up
we'll and pour it over the trunks
of the trees in such a way that
it will run through the grass,
litter or mulch around the base.
From one-half pint to one quart
may be used on each tree, accord
ing to the size of the tree. If
there is much melted. snow or
rain to dilute it, or wash it away
it should be repeated, but the
mice will not tear away trash
that is soaked with lime-sulfur
solution, neither will they eat the
bark coated with it. Incidental
ly it is also the best and cheap
est protection from rabbits. 1t
can be easily and cheaply applied
as a spray if the operator should
prefer, but in applying it as q
spray where there is mulch all
around the trees, time should be
takenthoroughlyt the mulch
to a distance of a few inches of
the trunk of the tree, for the pur
pose of keeping away the mice.
