SHADE TREES.
Should Be Properly Cared For If They Are to Grow We'll and Make Good Appearance.

The American forestry association at Washington, D. C., has issued cir culars giving expert advice on the pro- per care and repair of shade trees. The forestry association will be glad to send to any one interested circulars relative to this subject. The follow ing is taken from the first part of the circular:-
 As the lower branches of the trees will cause more rapid growth in trunk diameter, these branches should be pruned from shade and street trees at intervals of a year or more, as they interfere with street traffic, until a clean stem of 10 or 12 feet is reached. Lawn trees require little attention, since low branching and unsymetrical form give them character. If possible, trees should be left with single lead CTS, since crotches are likely to split in later years. If two or more main stems develop, leave the central stem and severely trim or entirely remove the others. When, it is necessary to restrict the spread of trees within cer- tain bounds on narrow streets and roadways, the ends of the branches should be shortened so as to develop a compact symmetrical crown. Any time after midsummer is suitable for pruning. Shaping can best be done while the foliage is on the tree. Heavy pruning is better done in fall or win ter.
 Old. neglected trees should first have all dead and imperfect limbs re- moved. Thin out dense tops by leav- ing main limbs and the branches im- medfately radiating from them and limit cutting to the third and fourth divisions in branches. As far as pos sible preserve the character and nat ural shape of the tree. making the finished tree look as if no limbs had been removed. Start pruning at the top of the tree and work downward. All cuts should be made smooth, close to the base of a limb and parallel to the axis of the stem. At all times avoid unnecessary wounds by cutting or tearing the bark in making the necessary cuts and in climbing the trees. The surface of scars should be smoothed and painted with a mixture of two parts coal tar to one of cre- osote. It is safer to follow this with heavy coat of coal tar (the kind used for roofing is best). Large scars should be >recoated every few years.

STATUS OF DIPLOMATIC AND
 CONSULAR REPRESENTATIVES
Will Be Determined by the State De- Partmeut on Broad Lines-Broushi Up by Boy-Ed Case.

Washington, Nov. 24.-An questions affecting the status of diplomatic and cosnuiar representatives of belligeren: countries in the United States will be determined by the state department on broad grounds of policy. with espe- cial reference to the maintenance of friendly relations with foreign gov ernments.
 This was made known today by Secretary Lansing when his attention was drawn to testimony given in the federal court at New York that Cap tain Boy-Ed. the German naval at tache, furnishing funds whereby a con- spirator was alleged to have been con- ducted by agents of the Hamburg American line to supply German war ships at sea.
 The secretary made it clear tha. while he had full knowledge of the evidence on which the cases were be . ing prosecuted in New York, the state department had not given its approval or disapproval to the opening state Wood, according to Captain Boy-Ec Oficials at both the department of state and of justice explained, how ever. that there was no controversy over Jurisdiction between the two branches of the government. At the department of justice it was made clear that all this evidence in their possession had been brought to the attention of the state department as rapidly as 1t was gathered. hut that action affecting diplomatic officers i'm : mune from prosecution lay naturally

than se worth on farms of 16o acres
 and over. The small-sized farms
 needed one horse for every acres, as compared with one horse for more
 than IT acres on the larger holdings.
 In spite of this increased investment
 per acre, the small farm@ were not so
 we'll equipped with labor-saving ma- chinery.
 On the farms of from 13 to 40 acres the average labor income-that is to say the money which the farmer re- ceives for his years work after the
 interest on his investment has been deducted-was only $240, while on farms of 160 acres the average was $1,575. From these and other figures
 which convey the same lesson, the in- vestiga:Grs- concluded that the small farm, carrying on a general business. labors under fixed handicap that is inherent in it's size.
 l This relation of the size of the farm to the opportunity for profit is de- clared in the bulletin already men
 toned to be of vital interest 'because
 of the notion which so widely prevails that the ideal of American agriculture is the small farm. Numerous real I-es-
 tate promotion schemes are based on

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS
DRY MASH AS POULTRY FEED. Experiments Show It's vaIu. As Egg
 Producer.

For many years wet mash was re- garded by all poultrymen as the only way of obtaining eggs in cold weather but there has been great evolution in feeding poultry; in the past few years, so that now most all p4ogres- sive poultrymen believe that heat should be generated by exercise rath- CT than by warm feeds, and that hens will thrive just as well, and in many conditions better, on a dry mash kept before them the greater part of the day. Many colleges have carried out exhaustive experiments to determine the comparative value of these two methods of feeding, and one of the ments was one obtained by the New York state experiment station a few years ago, when a pen of 20 white Leghorns fed a wet mash paid a pro- fit of $21.70, while a pen of birds under l the same conditions and cared for by the same person in the same house and fed a dry mash from 10 o'clock in the morning until night paid a profit of $2S.90. This profit was figured en- tirely on the increased egg production. not taking into consideration the saw | ing of labor in feeding the dry mash which would have increased the profit of the birds fed/by this system at least | One of the greatest objections to | feeding the wet mash regularly is that
 
 ! others will not get enough. Dry mash kept before the birds the greater part of the day provides an opportu- ] nifty for every individual to get all that | she needs. Birds which orereat of the | wet mash day after day for several months frequently contract some dis ease of the digestive organs and be- come total loss to their owner as far as egg production is concerned. The | difference in the mortality of fowls fed 1 wet mash and dry mash has frequent ! ly been as great as 10 to l in favor | of the dry mash.
 | In order to force bullets at this sea- son of the year to lay a lot of eggs il | Is undoubtedly wise to feed limited amount of wet mash in addition to the | regular dry mash kept before them all of the time, because bullets do not | take to dry mash readily, and there | fore do not eat enough to provide the 1 necessary material for making of eggs |, Feeding a wet mash as a supplement
 to dry mash, but not in sufficient quantities to satisfy the fowls, will ! frequently result in good egg pro- duction where 1t could not be obtained | ia any other way.

THE COST OF MILK PRODUCTION

According to Bulletin 357 of the New York (Cornell) Station, from a study made of the costs incident to milk production for s34 dairy COWS with full years records in 53 dairy herds in Jefferson County, N. Y., 1t was found that seven of the 53 ifleris, comprising g7 cows, were kept at a loss of S1.335.71. On the basis of net cost and actual receipts, 161 cows. Or 1s per cent. of the total number caused a loss to their owners Of $1,79eS7, or $11-1S per COW. The average produc- tien was 6.621 pounds of milk and 24I pounds of fat. The milk was produced at a net cost of 1.21 cents. and the fat at 33.S scents per pound. The av- craze selling price Of the milk was 1.52 cents per pound. and the net pro- fit per COW was $2o.39. The net cost per COW was $S0.24, and the receipts were i$100-63, The average cost of feed per cow was s51.57. and the labor cost $23.12. The average cost of de- livering 100, pounds of milk 2Iz miles was ,1L7 cents. The profit from cows yielding 10000 pounds of milk year was 51 per cent greater than from those yielding 5000 pounds.

BUILDING AND BUSINESS.
Permits Show an Increase Over Last
 Year By Third.

The record of real estate sales for the past week shows a very large in crease over last year. Sales by war ranty deed in the cities of the state reported by The Commercial Record numbered AIS, with mortgage loans of ,431, while in the third week of November last year there were 2S2 sales of real estate and the mortgage loans tota1ed $604,750.

Last year during the corres- spending week there were eight peu- tions, having aSsents of $SS9, ,156 ana liabilities of $993,641, the large 1n- crease in the assets and liabilities, as will be remembered, being caused by the failure of Burr & Knapp Of Bridgeport.
 Building permits were issued dur ing the past week in the cities Of New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, Waterbury and Stamford to the number of 132. for buildings costing $514,3S3, the largest gain being found in Bridgeport, where factory additions and many frame tenement houses are being erected Last year in the same cities 100 permits were issued for buildings costing $421, TS0, caused mostly by new factory construction in New Haven.
 Contracts awarded last week in included factory construction in Bridgeport and New Britain, resi- dences in New Haven, Hartford and Bridgeport, power station in New London, public garage in New Britain, and many small houses of the one and two-faInily type throughout the state, and especially in Bridgeport.

WITCH.
Found To Be An Ideal Substitute For
 Glover as Green Manure.


 Most farmers understand the value Of humus and organic matter in the soil, and would add more to their land if they could do so with a reasonable outlay of money and labor. Vetch com mends itself strongly for such use, be- cause it remains in condition to grow at every favorable opportunity during the autumn, winter and early spring, when the land is usually idle and un- productive. Clover and alfalfa are al- so valuable for this purpose, but they usually make less growth during the most indictment season of the year.
 Many renters and small land owners have not the capital experience, or buildings necessary to maintain live stock whereby such crops can be con stunned advantageously and the manure returned to the land. In such cases vetch. as green manure, offers an ideal substitute for clove. Vetch may be followed. if desired. by late cabbage, caulidower, soy beans, millet corn and many other crops.
 If the weather Is rainy during the season when vetch must be removed from the land 1t may be cut and placed in the silo. provided it is mixed with some non-leguminous crop. Vetch, like clover. alfalfa and other highly nitro

DANeER oF FALL PRUNING.
Cuts Leave Trees unprotseted Asainst
 Ravases Of Winter.

Fruit growers and others interested
 in the pruning of fruit trees are not
 agreed as to the advisabflity Of fall
 pruning over spring pruning. Per
 Sonally the horticultural adviser of the
 league Is not in favor of it,-iu fact, he warns people against possible in- jury that may come from 1t. He does this because many trees have been seen which have been injured by fall and early winter pruning. On the other hand many trees have been pruned at this time of year and have not suffered a great deal. It Is an ad- vantage to have the work done, but owing to the fact that there is a great likelihood of injury from this prece- dure, it Is much more advisable to be on the safe side and wait until the latter part of the winter and early spring when all danger of sever cold weather is over The cambium layer or live part O; the tree is exposed to the elements after the cut is made. and if the Gu.

WEEDS THAT HAVE CONE Tc

Those who have taken pains to study and observe the nature of many Of our plants which are considered as weeds in our cultivated fields know that most of them bear hundreds and thousands of seeds when given op- portunity. It Is weil1sto take a look over the fields and notice whether any plants have matured or not and pro- duced this number of seeds, and to estimate roughly the number of weeds which are likely to come forth next spring. One of the principal costs of growing crops Is cultivation caused by the presence of many weeds. To less en this cost one can see the import ance of thorough cultivation,

PROFIT IN LARGE FARMS.
Survey Indicates That Incomes Us- uaIiy Vary Directly With the sizss of Farms. ss1,E


 The United States Department of Agriculture in a recent article says: Under the conditions which prevail on the average American farm, the .op- portunity. for making a satisfactory profit varies directly with the mum Der of acres farmed, according to farm management specialties in the department. This statement is sub staptiated by figures gathered in the course of a survey which has recently been made by the department of a portion of Chester County Pa.
