DEPARTMENT FINDS
QUARTERS TOO SMALL
Secretary Redfeld Will Ask Relief
From Present Con-
ditions.

Although only two years in ITS new
building. the Department of Commerce
has outgrown it. Secretary Redheld
has found that number of his Offices
are crowded to the point of unhealth-
fuIness. but can find no relief unless
Congress at this session makes provl-
sion for moving another branch OF the
government out of the building.
The federal trade commission is cauS-
ing all Of the trouble. It's quarters are
cramped and crowded to such an extent
that the business is hampered because
the officials and employees have to work
under conditions which are not con-
ducive to efficiency. This body has
filed a formal application with Score
tary Redlield for additional space, and
there is a law which requires the Sec
rotary of Commerce to supply the fed
eral trade commission with quarters.

The case of the commission already
has been brought officially to the at
tenton of the committees in Congress,
but it is said, committeeman have told
the commission to go and ask the Sec

All of the bureaus of the Department
of Commerce, according to the Secre-

CITIZENS BODY PLANS
TO IMPROVE SUBURB
Horticultural Improvement Club of
Takoma Park, Md, Would
Aid Town Council.

The Horticultural Improvement Club,
which was recently organized in Ia
koma Park. Md. has expressed a de-
sire to cooperate with the town coun-
Gil in identifying that suburb. Plans
are now under way for improving the
parking space between the cement
walks and the new concrete streets
and avenues by the planting of trees
and shrubbery.
Former Councilman Lsle Morrison. a
member of the club. has presented to
the town authorities a number of sus-
gestions for their guidance in connec-
ton with the recent Improvements by
the town. Some of the suggestions in
clude the following:
Suggestions for Parkings.
Parkinss up 10 ten feet wide-No
shrubbery growing taller than three
feet should be allowed.
Parkings ten feet wide and over-No
shrubbery taller than five feet.
ParkinGs in ceneral-Herha and
perennials are more suitable than
shrubbery where the parknss' are mar
rover. No planting should he nearer
the curb or the side walk than two
feet.
Trees planted in parkings should not
be nearer together than twenty-five
feet. where they have a maximum
height of thirty feet Taller trees should
be farther apart, approximately not less
than thirty-fve feet. Only one kind of
a tree should he authorized for each
street The residents on the various
streets should get together and agree
on the Kind desired.

pruning is done, the effect on tree
growth will be the same. However,
here is a certain advantage in delay
Ing the pruning until late winter.
There is always danger Of a certain
amount OF winter killing of twigs and
smaller limbs. Pruning after this dan
ger Is over will obviate any necessity
If pruning twice. Then, too where
wounds are made early in the winter
the freezing and thawing is apt to
check wood growth and to dry the It's
sues so that a prompt healing is hin
derel and sometimes prevented.
In case trees are making too vigor-
pus growth, it is sometimes desir-
able to prune them in summer. How
ever, summer pruning. to be effective,
must take place just after the terminal
buds have completed their growth.
This is usually during the latter part
Of June Later pruning simply starts
new wood growth and defeats the
pruner's objects.
These general principles Of pruning
apply to all fruit trees of all classes
and ages.

CARING FOR THE PLUM TREE
More Injury Caused by Trimming
Them Than From any Other Cause

Keep saw and trimming shears out
of your plum tree, says a writer Just
cut off the dead limb and If some limb
so interferes with another one that 1t
must be cut off, then do it. l have in
jured more trees by trimming them in
the earlier days of my plum raising
than from any other cause.
Spray the trees just before the buds
open with lime-sulphur one to ten, thin
after the fruit has set with lime
sulphur, one to forty, adding three
pounds arsenate of lead to the bar
rel, which will be beneficial to destroy
the brown rot This spraying may be
repeated every ten days, but must not
be used within four or five weeks of
ripening of the fruit.
Cut down or dig up old trees when
they have lost their vigor and set out
new ones. Dig a hole as big as bush
Ell basket at least In which to set the
tree. Put some good rich loan in the
hole, and a half-peck of wood ashes
turned in after the small roots are
covered will be found beneficial.

INFLUENCE COLOR OF BUTTER
Markets Demand Yellow Tint Which
Is Supplied by Use Of Dyes or
Character Of Cows Feed.

Although it is fact that some dairy
breeds give yellower milk than others,
even though II may be no richer in
fat, the thing of greatest influence in
color Is the kind of feed the cows
are getting. Market demands call for
a yellow butter, which is supplied in
the creamery by the use of certain
harmless vegetable dyes, the use OF
which dairy laws rightly permit.
The color also can be fed into the
milk and make the use of dyes un-
necessary. Carrots, for example, color
milk and cream quickly. One Of the
natural coloring materials in milk and
butter is called carotin, from carrots.
and this material is found in many
food materials. 1t Is plentiful in fresh
green grass, hence the milk colors
up we'll in early spring. Alfalfa hay,
cured to have a bright green color,
contains good SUPPLIES Of carotin, which
appears in the cream as result.
Hay which has lost this green color,
dry corn fodder, silage, straw, yell
low corn and white, wheat, wheat
bran. cottonseed meal and other mllled
feeds contain practically none, and
cream from cows so fed will produce
a light colored butter unless artificial
coloring is supplied The color adds
nothing to the value or digestibility
of butter, save in ones mind, but the
market demands a yellow butter all
the year round and the color must
either be supplied in the feed or in
the creamery.

BUILDING A CONCRETE TANK
First Essential ls Careful Selection OF
Sand and Gravel-Be Careful
In Use of Water.

(By T. r. sEWALL, Northwest School Of
Agriculture, Crookston, Minn.)
Careful selection of sand and grav-
ell is the first necessity in the con.
struction of concrete water tank for
the farm. Sand should be clean and
sharp, containing not more than three
or four per cent Of clay. II 1t contains
more clay it should be washed. Gravel
should also be clean and not more
than three-fourths of an inch in diam.
eter for small tanks or one inch for
large tanks. A good mixture for tanks
may be made of one part Of Portland
cement; two parts Of clean, coarse
sand; and three parts Of screened
gravel.
The cement, sand and gravel should
be thoroughly mixed dry, by turning
with a shovel or hoe. Water should
then be added, a little at time, un.
til the mixture is mushy but not
sloppy. II too much water Is used and
the forms are not tight, a part OF
the cement will leak out with the
water and the concrete will be weak.
ened.
In making a large tank, or one
that is going to be moved from place
to place, a reinforcing Of iron rods or
wire mesh Is required, though old
wagon tires or pieces of strap iron
are often used. 1t is important that
the wall reinforcing be made contin
uous around the corners.
The tank, II a large one, should
rest on its own foundation and have
a concrete floor surrounding it. This
floor will keep the tank more sanitary
and also keep the water, spilled by
the cattle, from undermining the tank.
The tank may be cast upside down
by using wooden core. and an out.
side form. The outside form is made
straight up and down, while the inside
core Is made wider at the top than
the bottom. Then II the water should
freeze In the tank the Ice will slide
up the sloping sides and be less like
ly to crack them.

quantity that you would all take steps
to be more careful in the future.
One Of the most common ways OF
wasting feed is to feed it upon the
ground when the surface Is wet or
soft Feed scattered about in this
fashion will soon be tramped upon and
buried under the mud. Pigs, especially,
are wasteful of feed given to them in
this way, but many feeders have real
lied the loss and have prevented it by
building concrete feeding floors
which will not only pay their cost in
the feed they save in few years, but
enable the quarters to be kept In a
more sanitary condition.
Feed may be wasted when 1t is fed
In the managers in excess OF the ami
mails needs. This is a loss that is
easily preyentable, for the feeder IL
he is observing will know just how
much the animal will eat up Clean
For feeding alfalfa, clover soy bean
hay or other coarse feed, rack OF
the kind shown In the illustration is
handy and prevents waste. More sim,
pie racks are often constructed on the
inside of hog house by placing them
against one of the sides Of the build
ing or adjoined to the pen partition.

ADOPT CIVIL SERVICE LAWS
Provision Made for Appointment Of
Highway Employees In Accordance
With Merit System.

Six states, namely, Illinois, Ken
lucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey.
New York and Wisconsin. now have
civil service laws providing for ap-
pointing of highway engineers and EN-
ployees in accordance with the merit
system.
A description OF the system in effect
in each of the six states appears In

by the American Highway association
at Washington.
The summary of automobile legisla-
tion in all the states Is of timely In

100000 automobiles were registered
in the United States during 1914, for
which more than $12,000,000 In license

should slope to one edge and also to
one end, as in Fig. l, which shows
q cross-section.
The front gate should be adjusta-
BILE. so as to close to the rear edge OF
the platform. The manger may be
made of wood or cement, but in all
cases should be part!tioned off so as
to keep each cows food separate.
Some stockmen object to cement floors
on the ground that they give the
cows rheumatism and produce sore
feet. II proper bedding is given,
there should be no trouble Many
think such a floor construction extrav-
agant and impractical for the average
dairyman, but 1t is not. While the
original cost may be little more, 1t
will be cheaper in the end and far
more serviceable. Such floor VIII
outwear many made Of wood and Will
be far more sanitary in every way.
They are easier to clean and do not
give off odors like board floor,
which soaks up filth and causes an
ever-present odor in the stable.
The stalls should be separate so
that each animal will be by herself.
and she will soon learn to take her
own place when entering the stable.
This is not saying that good stables
cannot be built of wood. but it is to
remind the man who contemplates
building or wishes to remodel his barn
that 1t pays to build well.
