Where to Set the Trees.

One should strive for broad
stretches of grass in planning the
home grounds. The principal tree
planting should be made on the
north of the house lot. for protec-
ton from winter winds. and on the
west to provide afternoon shade.
If trees are set along the high
way or drive, they should not b.
placed too close-forty to fifty fee,
is good distance-and the row
should be perfectly straight. In the
desire to get shade as soon as posi-
BILE. people frequently plant trees
close together, and later when they
begin TO crowd one another. the
planter has not the courage to cut
ont those that should be cut, and the
trees become unshapely aud un-
slightly.
Unless one is as ready to use the
axe as the planting spade. he should
give generous space when setting the
trees.
Except in relation to roads, drives,
and straight walks, shade trees
should not be planted in rows; but az
irregular distances, making groups
irregular in number and shape, so
placed as to reveal the best views
that may be had from the house, and
conceal unsightly objects. always
having in mind broad stretches of
grass, where the shadows of groups
of trees and single specimens may
be enjoyed

tice.
The reasons for this development
of beekeepins are deserving of a few
words at this time. Why is IL that
an active interest in the business has
grown up in the past Is years. while
in all the preceding years of our his
tory beekeeping was relegated to
the limbo of vocations unworthy of
serious notice of red-blooded men
and women? Poultry raising emerg-
ed from that limbo a little earlier
than Bookkeeping, but the latter is
now gaining on its rival for favor,
and for some Aeople it has proved
as good a business and, for a few,
the better of the two.
The adoption of the movable-frame
hive had something to do with It..
Our people, always ultra-conserva-
tive, have adhered to the box hive
too long. They know II now. so there
can be no harm in making the
confession public. But the movable
frame hive alone could never have
led to the rapid Improvement We
have reoently witnessed in Kentucky.
Even those who used the modern
hive were handicapped in many parts
of the state by a lack of forage in
midsummer, at which season the
bees exhausted their stores and
sometimes failed to secure in the
fall, when asters bloomed more
than enough to carry them through
the winter.
The increased interest in and
growth of the industry is largely due
to the introduction and more gener-
al planting of sweet clover (Melilo-
tus alba). without this plant our
have no more than held
their own, and have not made a
great deal of money. With it they
find beekeeping a profitable bust
ness. This seems to be the secret
of much of the success which has
come to Bookkeeping in Kentucky in
recent years.

Cost Of Boarding Hired Help.

furnished to the Department of Ag-
rieulture by 1000 farmers represent
ing widely separated sections in IA
States. The average derived from
these estimates are embodied in De-
partment Bulletin 410, recently pub
lished, entitled "Value TO Farm FAM
flies of Food, Fuel. and Use of Huse. "
II was found that the total annual
cost per person of board for hired
help varied from $1O4 in Vermont
and Pennsylvania to $162 in New
Jersey, and that the percentage OF
this cost paid out in cash varied
from Is per cent in North Carolina
TO 40 per cent ii California. This
percentage is about one-third in the
eastern section studied. about one
fourth in the corn-belt States, and
still less in thee Southern States.

Notable progress has been made
IN bringing about the commercial
utilization of soy bean seed for the
manufacture of oil, meal, and var
ious more or less complex products.
according TO the annual report of
the Chief of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry. The soy bean, the report
states, is well adapted to the whole
cotton belt, and indeed to the whole
corn region. In the cotton belt 1t
promises to be an important ele-
Inent wherever the acreage of cotton
has been reduced. The immature
bean seeds make a very delicious
vgeable and are canned with ease.
Inasmuch as soy beans can be more
cheaply produced than any other
bean seed, it is believed that there is
a large field for the canning of green
soy beans. Efforts are now being
made TO induce canning factories TO
put the product on the market. In
the growing of the soy bean and in
manufacturing products therefrom
the United States can successfully
compete With the Orient,
