To Control Fowl Disease.

Although not recognized in this
country until 1900, fowl tuberculosis
is, without question, the most preva-
lent poultry disease In Wisconsin.
Flocks usually become infected by the
introduction of diseased fowls and by
the association of fowls in healthy
fiocks with neighboring infected f1ocks.
The disease may also be introduced by
feeding to the flock the offal and
trimmings of diseased fowls.
To prevent and control this exceed
ingly wasteful disease, DR.. B. A. Beach
OF the agricultural experiment station
recommends that careful inquiry be
made into the flock from which poul-
try is purchased; that so far as pos
sible association with neighboring
fiocks be prevented, and that the offal
of fowls purchased for table use never
be fed to the flock. "All birds in
fiocks known to be affected should be
slaughtered. Only those which show
no LESSONS should be marketed, and the
infected birds, together with the litter
from the poultry houses, should be
burned. The houses should be sprayed
with a per cent solution Of some coal
tar disinfectant, and where possible all
runs should be plowed and cropped.
Poultry should not be kept on these
premises for year"

pine forests were being destroyed
with alarming rapidity and no provi-

them. After 1875 there was for some
years a check in the spread OF the
Arbor day idea, and it was not until
1882 that two more states began to
celebrate the day, North Dakota and
Ohio.
Two new elements were introduced
into the Arbor day plan when Ohio
took it up: the way was made school
festival and the practice of planting
memorial trees and groves was inau-
gurated. These new developments
were largely responsible for the ex-

the United States. Tree planting be-

The originator CT Arbor day certain
ly had all these aspects Of the day in
mind But it was chiefly as means
of inducing the people to cooperate
In an attempt to supply the state of
Nebraska with the trees necessary for
shade, farm protection, and fuel and
timber for neighborhood use that the
plan of setting aside a certain day OF
the year for tree planting was adopted.
Arbor day has been celebrated in
Nebraska with enthusiasm from it's
very beginning in January, 1872, to the
present day.
Before 1872, however, planting had
been haphazard; and only those farm
ers who were willing to take good
deal of trouble to find out ways and
means Of improving their farms by
windbreaks and groves did any plant
ing. The adoption of the Arbor day
plan meant the organization of the
work in the state. AS a result near
ly billion trees have been planted in
the state since the plan was first adopt
ed 1t is estimated that more than
100000 acres have been planted in
trees in Nebraska.

(BY THE UNITED STATES FORESTRY BUREAW

The planting and care of trees will
inculcate in school children patience
and foresight and will impress upon
them the desirability of making the
best use of the resources of nature
both economically and esthetically.
In the past the planting of trees on
Arbor day has usually been in school
grounds or parks. Recently it has be-
gun to be used as means of stirring
up interest in roadside planting, first
in cities and then in rural communi-
ties. The city of Newark, n. j., is do
ing model work in this line. There is
special shade tree commission, which
issues map Of the city on which are
shown the streets that are in their
care and the variety of trees planted
on each, leaflet giving directions for
the planting and care Of trees along
the streets and a general Arbor day
pamphlet. In one year nearly 3,177
trees were planted on 46 streets. Many
other cities are now organizing the
work of tree planting on the streets,
and in every case Arbor day is used
as a means of arousing public inter-
est.
In 1913 the United States bureau of
education issued a bulletin entitled
"Good Roads Arbor Day." in which
were set forth the advantages of plant
ing trees along the highways Not
only should we build good roads, we
should also make them attractive and
comfortable to travel over. In many
European countries this is done by
planting the roadside with rows of
trees. This tree planting by the road
side has not yet become common in
this country, as it should.
Observing Arbor Day.
Some objection has been made to
trees along the roadside on the ground
that they hinder drying out after wet
weather. This holds good if the road
is poorly built; but trees are actually
an aid in keeping a well-built road dry
If they are not planted too close. The
roots by constantly taking in water
assist in drainage, and the tops by
breaking the force Of driving rains
prevent washes in the roadway. The
most important use Of trees by the
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1916-04-27

roadside, however, is the prevention
Of dust. Dust is the cementing ma
terial in macadam roads, and if it is
loosened and blown away the breaking
up Of the road is fastened.
What the trees do for the roads they
also do for the forested hillsides.
Wherever there are no forests on the
hills and mountains the rain and melt
ed snow rushes off in torrent, dig
ging out great gullies and carrying
away the fertile soil.
Where there is forest, the trees
protect the soil from the beating Of the
rain. The roots lead the water deep
into the ground to be stored up there
and gradually fed out by springs all
the year round. The leaf litter absorbs
and holds the water like a sponge.
The trunks and roots prevent the
rapid runoff Of the water and bind the
soil together. The forest is Of ire
mendous benefit in preventing both
floods and drought. 1t is in reality a
natural gatherer and storer Of water.
It is imperative, therefore, that the

those upon which towns, cities, irriga-
ton projects and water-power plants
depend for their supply should be for
ested.
The greatest value of Arbor day lies
in its effect upon our attitude toward
the trees that are already growing, for
manifestly there are thousands Of
trees of natural origin to every one
planted by man. The average citizen
is only now beginning to care for these
trees, having never before considered
that they needed any care. Farmers
have been In the habit Of turning their
| cattle in to Craze on their woodlands,
where they break off and destroy the
young growth, trample and injure the
roots Of the larger trees and pack the
ground hard, thus not only destroying
the future forest but shortening the
life of the trees that are already grow.
